Big thanks to Ridge for sponsoring this video! ridge.com/PSIVEWRI - PS: The systems shows up as being windows ME after a USB driver update. The CPU fan was never touching any IDE cables. Sorry for forgetting to add channel members to the credits! Thanks for watching.
Good video broo!!!
I like ms dos also the gateway i would put packabell program on it i like it LOL YOU GOT PRANKED MAN
Oh hello there, youtube algorithm sent me here heh.
Got a pretty good windows 98 pc myself free a few years ago.
AMD K6-2+ 400 mhz (swapped from a pentium mmx 166 mhz overclocked too 200 mhz.)
32 mb edo ram, could use an upgrade too 96 - 128 mb.
quantum 4 gb harddrive, had a 60 gb western digital drive from 2006 as a secondary drive & briefly as primary after cloning the operatingsystem onto it, but lost the partition so it refused too boot on the 60 gb drive, but still had all games on the other partition.
asus p55t2p4 motherboard, technically doesn't support the processor i put in but it still runs saying its an unknown amd processor lol.
2D gpu: matrox mystique 4 mb some software 3d rendering card, supports like 8 games or something like that & those were only ofc on the included software cd's.
3D gpu: voodoo 1 4 mb from diamond, the monster 3d version, most common one around probably.
Soundblaster awe 32 pnp i think it was in this pc.
pci to usb addon card which either causes the pc too lock up or its either of the graphics cards that are failing fighting over resources.
Bios battery is one of those chips with a built in battery which i haven't bothered doing anything with as it still boots.
c
You should find one of these old PCs and completely max out the specs.
Let's power it up!
Cpu fan: HDHSHSHFHNFHSIR
It was the power supply fan, i hate that noise 😂
LOL
@@matiasvarela460 nope. Was the CPU fan.
@@psivewri I know this but on my RetroPC the fan bearing died.
@@psivewri Whaaaaat 😱😂 My power supply makes the same noise!
the pc fan sounds like my mom when I don't magicaly appear to help her in 2 seconds
NoobGyver that made my evening 😂
Is your mom Asian?
@@arwahsapi no but my family has roots in asia from my dad's side, but she is annoying as hell sometimes
@@arwahsapi that isn't specific to Asia.

Man you just took me back in time to my first computer that I had bought exactly that year, 1997. It was a Pentium 200 MMX with a 2.1 GB HDD, 32MB of Ram and exact same graphics card. The monitor of course was a 14” CRT. I just loved viewing this video as you brought the old grandpa back to life. Respect!
I used to love restoring these as they were the easiest to work on. when I used to restore these, I always broke out ALL the blanks in the drive bays and expansion slots (the metal blanks) I also would punch out the serial and parallel slots and mount the RS-232 and printer sockets directly to the chassis. once they came out with the ATX chassis, things got even better! Even the Mother Boards! Love the walk down memory lane! Thank you!
Its shows it's windows ME on the System properties screen after the restore.
My guess is that he installed this USB-stick driver pack from the internet, which replaces some DLLs and make that happen, as a side effect.
It also says "Failing youtube career"
@@mattglad Oh Yeah that was funny. I don't think his carrier is failing though
@@mattglad Haha 8:48... But he is one of my favorite youtuber and i dont even speak english (sorry for any mistake)
@@Tech_Champ he is not talking about his career. Check the video carefully
"CPU fan is incredibly loud" (Shows video of IDE cable literally brushing against the fan blades)

8:44 Why it says Windows ME on the System Properties? Did you install Windows 98 SE2ME on it?
Or the NUSB36E.EXE driver for USB sticks, which also changes that text string.
if you install unofficial service pack for Win 98, it makes defacto Win ME from that, maybe that's the reason
@@Pidalin It moslty looks more like Windows 2000 since that Windows 2000 uses Tahoma font while Windows ME still using the MS Sans Sherrif font.
@@aldwinpanny10 Yes, it looks weird, there is not such retro feeling anymore, that's why I prefer Win ME, it's still enough retro, but it already supports USB flash disks and such things.
Desktop: Windows 95 wallpaper
Psivewri: Hmm not windows 98 wallpaper... Let's Go edit: Windows 9X(8)
Fake dialog comments: ridiculous
@@TR2000LT That last one was from unofficial updates, possibly NUSB 3.6
lol it also said Windows Me in the about section. That hurt my brain
I always love watching reviews of outdated equipment
I do restorations of these kind of PCs quite often because it's my hobby. And almost all of the PCs I received for free from friends or friends of friends that had no need for them. They never work when I receive them but so far I managed to revive every one I got. Don't know why why but bringing computers, especially older ones, back to life is quite satisfying
How many have you got?
@@wasdagain2553 at the moment I have 6 of them in my room freshly restored during this last month. . When I restore them I usually give them away to friends or their friends who need it for like school or work stuff like doing powerpoint presentations or text stuff.I don't really remember how many computers I restored in total but I'm doing this for the past three years so I think I worked on quite a few of them.
Don’t know why I like watching these but they are fascinating. It’s cool to see someone know so much about computers and is able to restore these things so professionally :)
WOW! That was a blast from the past! I had an extremely similar one in 1998! Great Video!
You are called John too.
Man, I love these restoration videos. I have an old 1996 IBM Aptiva 2176-354 that I (sort of) restored and cleaned up, not entirely sure what to do with it but it's really cool to have. I even have the original keyboard, monitor, mouse and speakers too! Old pcs really are cool.
Nice PC I have one aptiva too!
Pentium 2 MMX
64mb ram
4gb HDD
It works but I gotta find a crt for it.😉
2:17 "Failing youtube career" lol
Hi, I had the same cpu casing back in 2000. But it was soft power button. Amd k62 500mhz, 128mb ram, 20gb hdd, built in soundcard and vga. I forgot the motherboard brand. It was the last pc I ever bought. After that I always got free desktops or laptops at work.
This bring back so much memories. Having build thousands of PCs to sell on eBay and also working at a computer store building and repairing computers it was a great time. The graphics of the games might not look that great but still a joy to play.
If you aren't already you might want to try Self Etching Primer for the interiors of cases. It helps the paint adhere better to bare metal. A little trick I learned from painting cars.
The S3 Trio64 is one of the best card choices for DOS PCs I think, as it's the most compatible one with nearly all graphics modes.
Good job on this restoration! My first PC in 1997 had a Cyrix M2 processor too (a PR200), 32Mb RAM, and a 2.1GB hard disk. I now have a Core i5 with 20GB RAM and close to 2TB hard disk space. How things change!
The S3 Trio was one of the first low cost graphics cards that could keep up with full screen video, it came out late 1995 I think and before that you played video in a little window.. I had a PC very similar to that in my shop looping a 3 minute video at VGA 20fps full screen on a 14" color monitor and did a lot of graphics card upgrades that year. It was impressive for it's time.
That's the same computer case I used back in the late 90s!!! I miss it very much!!
In order to improve the 3D gaming performance for this PC, I suggest the following changes:
1. Replace the Cyrix CPU with Intel Pentium MMX 233Mhz CPU, it should be the fastest CPU this motherboad can support.
2. Install a 3dfx Voodoo1 add-on card, or just replace the existing S3 card with other later 3D display card that supports PCI bus.
Pretty confident I had one of those exact machines as my first non-family computer
when i heard the window startup sound i went back in time. Good old days :(
Liked for that startup sound ❤️
I love these types of videos, they are so fun to watch.
My first pc was a Dragon 32. Yep, that was a whole 32K of memory. Still I managed to run a supermarket stock system on it with the help of a Dragon double 5" floppy drive. All displayed on a 24" TV (CRT natch). Happy days.
You have a file cabinet of old parts? I had one as well! shame I had to get rid of it 😥
6:03 I cleaned out the fan on my 2009 gaming pc and it had wayyyy more dust than that XD by cleaning that out and putting on new thermal paste I got temps down by 20 degrees C
I hope you are healing nicely from your injury. Your channel and at least one subscriber will be here when you're able.☺️
I was a little more than -10 years old. But I love these computers, this is my hobby.
Hmm...'97, I would have been 7, and that was the year I got my first computer (Commodore Amiga 1000). I later built my first Socket 7 system running Windows 95 when I was 11 ('01, or the same year XP got released) using Goodwill scrap and my own savings. I was so happy just having a PC with a CD-ROM drive finally.
This was nostalgic. I've recently found another Socket 7 rig tossed in the bin, didn't know what to really do with it. It POST beeps when I tested it but the plastic casing is severely yellowed and it needs a biohazard-level cleaning (Egyptian tombs have less dust than this thing, looks like it was an office PC no one ever bothered to clean) so I set it aside for now. I was thinking hack it up into a sleeper build and keep the "petina" look, but now I'm leaning more resto-mod. I'll try that method to whiten the plastics and see if it helps.
Thanks for teaching me something new!
I was using something like that at work last year (retired). Running DOS 5.
According to the motherboard layout, It seems that you can buy new reliable ATX power supply and connect some basic power switch instead of the current connected to the power supply, It should work.
@Psivewri -
When spray painting you absolutely should wear a _suiable_ mask: the mask must make a good seal to the skin (this includes better a shave of the face) & an A2P3 filter is required ...
to prevent fine mist entering the eyes , use a full face mask ( I recommend the Dräger Panorama & its successors)
RIP Caviar drive. Those ones sound really good. If it's clicking like that but it's detected it's definitely on its way out
I lost it at the "failing youtube career" part lmfao
Its funny you say that it "takes inspiration from similar games" about Croc, when in reality it was originally pitched to Nintendo as a concept before SM64 was known about. It would have starred Yoshi, and thats why Croc looks like that. The boys from Argonaut really were trying to innovate!
Something like this was my third PC after having a 386 then a 486dx2. They were the days. even without always on internet it didnt seem like a brick as my current pc does when the internet is down.
I had the same graphics card in my Siemens Fujitsu 1995 PC with 64mb of RAM and 166 MHz Pentium MMX. I bought last week a 8mb 3d card and now is the cpu Always the Problem in this PC😂
Ahhh, yes! The golden age of pc's. And Windows 98 was a great OS for it's time. Still fun to play around with the software and old hardware. Cheers!
I would like to see another with you upgrading this PC as much as possible.
You don’t have a failing RUclips career we love you
Man, You're so lucky, I wish i had a Old PC Like this PC but from 1999 and that is capable of running windows xp
Great job. You could have also disassembled the fan and lubricate it.
Thanks for this video. I missed those login sounds
When the front face turned into hazelnut cream color, you know it's old
And probably infectious.
I'm a little surprised anyone is still using these machines. I had an old Gateway P2 machine that was a fully working computer, that I chucked in a dumpster last year. I pulled the hard drive though, and dropped a 7.62 Nato round through it.
I have one old antique acer gaming laptop from 2012 with AMD athlon x2 and 2 gb ram lying down in my cub board.
My first GPU was Voodo FX 8MB and 128MB of RAM. Miss those days.
Him: Cast your mind back to 1997.
Also Him: I personally don't remember much from that year.
Me: Hah, I wasn't even born then, not even thought of yet. (Born 3 years later).
3D gaming experience exactly as childhood. 12 FPS
I love those old pcs if u have more of these upload more
I had that EXACT pc back in the day. I miss it.
Waiting for a new video of yours man. Keep up the excellent quality
He broke his arm
There is NO 'restoring' out-of-date shit from 97'... there is ONLY replacing.
the painting on ms paint is awesome!
I have done a few of these restorations myself, its great going back in time. Presently though I have built a Windows XP Pro rig for messing around on using some old parts I had laying around, but I had to go with my old genuine copy of the 64bit version for the hardware. I have hit a snag though, I am desperately searching for a suitable driver to run the XFX GeForce 8800GT Alpha Dog 500MB card I have installed, cannot find one anywhere for XP.
Hey, nice job restoring it!
And truth be told, this isn't that terrible of a build for 1997 - it features plenty of RAM for the time, and while the S3 card doesn't provide any 3D acceleration indeed, it's a stellar 2D card, with high DOS games compatibility!
Omg we had this pc at home!
You should really install a Voodoo 2 PCI graphics card in that baby, maybe in a follow up video?
We used to struggle with the cd rom stuck and all this clicking crap and laud fans even when this was in it prime.today we are so spoiled with gaming rigs
I was 1 year old at 1997,too. The problem is you look 30, I look 18
Yesssssssssss, finally my man. Don’t worry I’m stuck with u innausy my bro. Keep up the epic work🤘🏼
DOS gaming shouldn't be any problems at all playing. When you say having issues playing games on it, you meant using the Windows 98 OS instead of DOS. That machine can play thousands of DOS games from the 1980's into the late 1990's.
9:45 hahaha Croc came out first... 😅 like years before kazooie and over a year before mario
Cyrix!? Nooooo!! Wow, you weren't kidding when you said this PC was terrible, LOL!!
Since that PC can only play 3D games that support software rendering, if you can track down a copy, I recommend trying Forsaken. It's a flying 3D shooter which has a game engine that somehow plays well even on really old hardware.
I build this computers all the time back in the days, good times.. I KNOW I’m old lol
"Restoring a TERRIBLE Budget PC from 1997!"
Schools: *Hold my beer*
1:34 that pin hole on the cd drive will allow you to open it manually.
My first compiuter elas an a IBM Aptiva Pentium 100mhz with 8mb of ram. (1995... i was 12 years old.)
old days... good days.
At the place I was working at the time we built many many PCs in that case with PC Chips mainboards, had to be careful or you would give it a blood sacrifice, The higher end machines had an Enlight case and QDI mainboards
finaly new vid lezz go been waiting for this one!
This was one of the most satisfying videos you've ever put out
In 1997, 128mb was an insane amount of ram, today, 128gb is a insane amount, imagine in the future, when 128gb when 4tb will be normal and 128tb will be the new insane amount
I love how the Pc starts like a v8 car.
"Fresh copy of Windows 98". Oh boy, the word "fresh" has a different meaning here :)
Perfect work.
Good job buddy
That is a rather fast machine, try a 386 25Mhz probably fall a sleep waiting. Lucky it still works.
The specs aren't bad for 1997. One thing I find interesting about even the new 2020 version of Windows 10 is that it actually still supports floppy drives and we would think people stopped using floppy drives about 20 years ago.
wouldn't have originally had even 64MB of RAM. More like 16 or 32
@@RWL2012 I think a 266 mhz processor would have been high end in 1997.
When you are in Quarantine and got to much time on you
i love how he put 8 but its a windows 95 and that startup sound u have is not correct for the os
If in doubt you prise open the CD drive with a butter knife... lol.
I find the lack of Eucalyptus Oil disturbing
This channel summed up: (in Aussie accent) “it’s time for a little eucalyptus oil 🙂”
Can such an old PC run Windows 10 with workarounds?
"I was only one year old in 1997". Ouch, that one hurts! Great review though, you have LOT of patience!
Ah the good old days , playing doom and Duke Nukem
I had the same case back in 98
@2:17 COmpany: Failing RUclips Career Hahaha Dude love your vids!!
Actually, nintendo was inspired by croc, the guy who made it sent the demo to nintendo to help him port and publish the game for their upcoming console, nintendo declined and then super mario 64 happened
I LOVE PSIVEWRI!
That era of pc don't really need the extra thermal compound
Nice video. Thanks.
When a windows 98 pc is faster than mine
If remember, you needed a minimum of an S3 Virge graphics card for gaming. Or a 3DFx. An old Matrox would have helped
Ho enjoy watching his videos about restorations
