and here's some pictures:

1st up is the empty case, front view:

...

Open case look from above:

...

then I went and placed the mobo:

...

And noticed my cables were a bit short:D

...

...

So I got me some extension cables:

...

...

the modding of the case can now get started Smiley and ofcourse place the 2nd cpu in there, since I got ram since a while now Smiley

whatta ya guys think?

That is a odd case. But it looks nice, what is that sound card like?

Yeah the case is more like an open benchmark table, used for frequently swapping hardware...ideal for testing....and it looks nice Smiley After some modding it will look awesome Smiley

Diamond MonsterSound MX300...Aureal Vortex 2 chipset....awesomeness in all it's glory Smiley

was better AND cheaper then anything Creative could offer at that time...very nice MIDI

and it has nostalgic value to me....got it for my birthday long long ago...then it broke and never saw one again...till some time ago......and just like the 5500 MAC card, I will NEVER EVER let it go Smiley

How much ram does it have ?
can it use sound fronts or midi instrument librarys? or are you stuck with the one biult into the card ?

As far as I can tell / remember, there is a daughterboard for this card , which adds extra feautures to the card, I will lookup what it does and let you know

EDIT:

there was the Roland add-in board, shown here:

The MX-25 daughtercard from Diamond itself is either never produced really or very very hard to find....but card can be made fully working under windows 7 even.
