Not OP, but any recommended video and sound cards to go with a Pentium 3?

I have the DX4 for my DOS purposes, and I love it but I am thinking of modernizing it. I don't know if the old power supply will last, so I think I will need adapters. The old 4GB may not be enough so I am considering switching its one IDE for a compact flash to IDE reader(the motherboard I have only has one slot, so it is a CD-ROM + HDD only). The case is old beige and may be yellowing from sunlight so maybe a nicer case but that will take some serious wood or metal work. I am also looking to make it take up less space and have a better cooling solution. Suggestions?

Bumping this thread as it has information I want available this weekend when I hope to work on my 486 this weekend. I keep saying I will work on it every weekend but I will try again this weekend.

I too recently decided to rebuy what I had regrettably thrown out just because I was moving. I accepted the eBay price as punishment for my stupidity throwing out my beloved 486DX4.

Just last night I confirmed it is alive. Now I got to figure out how I will transfer a few files over (burn CD-RW, IDE HDD to USB adapter, or utilize the old 10/100). If I ever get the room, my hoarder uncle does have a Gateway P5-75 with 17" CRT monitor still around which I will want to tinker with as well. Sorry camera and my old CRT monitor aren't good.
