Keeping and 486 and Pentium PCs going - A few Repairs and Mods

I grew up with PCs. My first one was a 486DX-33Mhz with 4Mb of RAM (I still have the order sheet somewhere) which was an ok machine at that time (1994). I had a lot of fun with that machine, it served me well for almost 2 years, when it got replaced by a much more powerful Pentium 100MHz with 16Mb of RAM, which was later paired with a Sound Blaster AWE 32 with 2Mb or RAM!

Here is a shot of my first PC Tower (extra points if you guess the game on the screen):
