Late 90's sleeper rig (Windows 95 themed case)

This rig is pretty much the only way I can actually do anything semi useful with my i5 4440 and GTX 650ti since I bought my i7 4790K and GTX 970.

First things first, the original motherboard which has 128MB of RAM, a Riva TNT2 (removed for another build) and a Celeron 433:

Setting up the case:

The ceramic bearing fan that I was going to use-if it for some reason hadn't fallen apart when I picked it up:

Installing the H87M-Pro, 650ti, USB 3.0 card, Seagate 20GB U5 and a 60GB 7200RPM Maxtor HDD (with build in activity indicator LED) and both IDE RAID controllers. I'm leaving the stock heatsink on the i5 4440 due to the available airflow (not much)

And this is the results. Note that although it may have the holes for a true ATX motherboard, it can't fit them. The case may be starting to rust a bit and missing its drive bay covers, however I think it turned out quite well:

I've actually got another case that's around the same age which I'll also be doing a build log for (spoiler, no IDE cables were hard during construction-oh and its GPU is weaker than the one used in the Original Xbox with the CPU only just being better).
