Wow! Mattias, that is a really great project there. I love the shot of all the sound card I/O ports after you installed them, reminds me of this picture- XD

I am definitely looking forward to hearing how they sound! Maybe find a good MIDI orchestral demo and run it through each card or something.
Interestingly Yamaha (I think) made a range of children's keyboards that essentially were early soundblasters with keyboards attached. I've wanted to get one for a while (especially since they're like $30-100), but none of them have MIDI input, so they wouldn't do so well with my subpar piano skills.
That case is definitely classic. I remember when everything was in that sandy-colored plastic. It was the "plastic of the 90's" I feel, haha.
I wanted to find an earlier copy of Windows for my project, but as I said, I ended up using XP because it's the last one I remembered that WASN'T a crashy pain in the bum to use, despite what my fondly-remembered childhood self would say otherwise. I remember how big 40 GB would have been back then! I grew up right at the tailing edge of the 3.5" floppy disc era and the dawn of the CD. I had a CD-RW I would store all my files on as a kid and I always thought I would NEVER fill up that (then) 600 MB of space.
