Tulip Vision Line DT 5/166

Original

  • Desktop Chassis
  • Processor: None (was originally Intel Pentium 166 - P54CS)
  • Motherboard: Tulip DT48 (Intel Triton II - 430VX), 256KB cache, AMD PCNet 10mbit ethernet, PS/2 Mouse, PS/2 Keyboard
  • RAM: None (would originally have had 16-64MB)
  • Video: PCI Alliance ProMotion AT24 (1MB, integrated into motherboard)
  • ATX PSU

Current

  • Processor: Intel Pentium 166
  • RAM: 2x 32MB EDO SIMMs
  • Video: Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM (2MB S3 Trio64) + Diamond Monster 3D (4MB Voodoo 1)
  • Audio: ESS Audiodrive 1868F + NEC/Yamaha DB60XG

Other than the missing processor and missing RAM, this was in pretty good condition and worked as soon as I put the missing parts in from my spares.

The one problem I encountered was the noise of the original ATX PSU fan. That was easily solved by replacing it with a pair of quiet push-pull Noctua fans which dropped the noise significantly.
