Those parts look very clean, like they are right out of the box. So I decided that sleep was secondary and made this in CAD, it can mount on a 140MM fan... This is in my slicer application, note that I use a big .8mm nozzle as opposed to the standard .4mm, it is indeed printable, would be better at the .4mm. If you want I can send you the file .

Hey! that is very generous of you! Many respects from me being a major Nighthawk fan myself, seen therm here in The Netherlands at an Airshow in Eindhoven back in 1997. The Black Stealth Jets of America they were named here. As the 3D print diagram goes, my system uses 80mil fans at max size, but also the problem is I don't have a 3D Printer left alone anyone in my area even tho I don't even know how they work sadly, looks very nice tho, Nighthawks were the best Stealth Fighters of all time and they left service way too early, just my thoughts tho, can't say that the Lightning II is any great either, mistakes have been made it seems. The YF-23 Black Widow II was superior to that of the YF-22 Lightning II which became the F-22 Raptor. it's strange how outcomes kind of turned out, as for the Hobby master F-117A Nighthawk model still trying to find a good deal, no luck on that yet, but that won't stop me from hunting down the right model As for the parts I always clean them properly or let them get special Deep cleaning treatments, soap & hot water is used and then they are placed in a vacuum drier set to 50C for 24 hours. Maintenance of 20+ year old parts is extremely vital, things like capacitors are also replaced and renewed if needed to be, all standard procedure, but very important if wanting to use old parts for every day use.

Hey many thanks man it was quite the challenge to do as well, I am happy with the result so far tho! Hokunin Oh man, this brings childhood memories
Yeaps and with these date correct parts you can relive the classic 1990's all over again Those years were my favorite and most memorable when it came to epic PC games & PC flight sims. Hence why I love bringing these old relics back to life, just loads of fun and the dreams just never end this way. DosBox is boring using the actual date correct hardware is far more fascinating imo. austin86 Gold Leader Nighthawks were the best Stealth Fighters of all time
Until they open the bomb bay doors or bank to hard. Their stealth envelope was incredibly small compared to newer craft and took incredible skill to fly witch is why it was replaced.
Yea well that won't make me love them less

Here the AWE64 Gold with the CT1950R 28MB Sound Font Module made by Anthony Zxclxiv Here the CT1950R 28MB Sound Font Upgrade Module it's self The arrow points what connector is connected to the top connector of the card. It's easy though, top connector is 28 pins while the bottom one is only 26 Pins, you can't make mistakes that easily [image]data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7[/image] This is how the CT1950R 28MB is mounted to the AWE64 Gold CT4390; 2nd pic shows a diagram on how it goes to work, also with it mounted on the card: And here the final result, the AWE64 Gold CT4390 with the CT1950R 28MB connected correctly:
Here the updated AWE64 Gold with it's CT1950R 28MB Sound Font Module installed in the system :)
The Manual of the MSI MS-6195 K7 Pro was also sent to me like half a year later lol Here I am doing a reply of Heretic II with the 3dfx Voodoo3 3500 @ 800x600x16 in 3dfx Glide API, it can do 1024x768x16. Only I would have to tune it a bit here and there for optimal speeds, yet 800x600x16 feels much faster and more accurate for this game on this old system. I will try to make some screenshots of this system in action.
