I haven't taken photos.
When I got it, the front panel was loose. It pulled right off - so I did so. I found that most of the screw mount things were broken off, and little pieces of plastic were in the box. A few unimportant pieces were also broken (half of the inside of the CDROM bay plastic that you can't see, for instance). I put it together with tape, and after using the machine a little realized that the floppy drive had no button. I looked through my floppy drives and could not find one with the same button, so I found a black one and whittled the button with a knife until it fit through the hole. I then tried to remove the floppy drive, only to discover that it, the cdrom drive, and pretty much everything but the motherboard is riveted to the casing and irreplaceable. Annoyed, I modified the button with the knife until I could get it to stay on the existing floppy drive "ok". While putting the panel back on, the volume buttons broke from the casing - I looked and they were only held on by a tiny point of plastic. Annoyed, I held it in place with some tape, and put the cover back on. During this process, I pressed too hard on the extremely brittle plastic and the volume button broke over the course of me trying to fix it into several pieces. I reassembled everything using yet more tape and put it together. It worked for a while but the buttons eventually shifted out of the holes. I was frustrated, so I took the front panel off to use it without it.
Ignoring the trouble with the casing, I investigated the machine itself. It runs Win95 amazingly well for a 486-class machine. I put DOS 7.1 on it (still capable of bootstrapping 95) and in pure DOS installed some games. The first few games I tried worked well compatibility-wise, SB emulation working solidly (Duke2 lagged a bit on the second episode). I tried Monster Bash and it refused to properly use the SB for sounds, but it did do music. This was very similar to the experience I got out of my WSS on my T6600C - I was able to put a SB16 in that, though. I looked around in the machine btw and it has an 8-bit ISA slot for that modem, but it's half-height which is very odd for an ISA and the 16-bit part of the slot is not on the board - perhaps I can put the other part of the slot on the board and stick a SB16 in there to rectify that problem, wiring it into the internal speakers like I did on the T6600C.
I am hoping that perhaps from within Win95 the DOS games will get proper sound support, and if so that won't be a problem.
