Welcome to my adventures building a 486 for my daily gaming use! As a retro PC hardware enthusiast, I have a habit of tearing my systems apart and swapping parts around all the time. This year, I have made a commitment to put together a system that'll stay assembled at all times for my day to day gaming use. In part 1, I take a close look at all of the parts for this build. Stay tuned for the assembly, benchmarking and some gaming in the next part!
