The removable motherboard tray is such a good idea, why was it abandoned? Not only is it convenient, but it also gives you a test bench to make sure everything works without having to install it all into an awkward to fit case and then uninstall everything again to fix it. Perhaps the modern day coolers just make this kind of design unergenomical.
Probably because without the motherboard tray the case is flimsy and flexes a lot. Most cases nowadays are made out of thin aluminium sheets while back then cases were much more rigid and robust, made out of 1.5mm+ thick steel.

Nah, i had a 50G Quantum Fireball (biggest i could afford) in '98 and it wasnt an uncommon size for new. if you were cashed up much bigger was practical.
if you were going to be picky btw, what IS wrong for '98 is the Voodoo 5 - it wasnt released until 2000. Period correct would be the Voodoo 2 i have in the cupboard

This video just took me back to my childhood. I grew up building computers with my Dad, I was very young but learned a lot. I played a lot of games kids my age didn’t get to play. Seeing this video takes me back to the good old days when all I had were my video games and nothing to worry about. Awesome video my man you made my day.

Why would that make you sad? All those untouched parts finally getting used after 20 years instead of rotting away in storage or a landfill. Wonderful. Makes me want to dig out some of my old components and do this myself.
@@nocilol3000 Preservation, the more of the items that are opened, the less common it is to find new components, items that are 20 years old that aren't being sold anymore aren't that common anymore, so it's why I feel kinda sad seeing precious brand new tech being used where today's technology puts this stuff to shame and it's seen as a relic.
Normally I would also cringe at someone opening something that has been sealed (and thus well-preserved) for so long. However, unlike all those people out there who do it just for the "unboxing" experience, this guy actually gave these components the life they have never had. And thus, unlike with most other video's, I do not mind him unboxing these relics.
This was so beautiful. So many good memories and honestly i’ve never seen a top full maximum setup for that kind of pc, in those times were pretty much a rare thing to see specially the “gaming” setup
Man, this sure brings back some memories! You might not want to connect your relatively “fast” 7200RPM HDD into the same IDE-channel with your optical drive though. Most optical drives of that era only support up to UDMA-33 transfers while your HDD and motherboard support up to UDMA-100. The entire IDE-channel transfer speed is determined by the slowest device in the channel so your 7200RPM drive now gets a very noticeable performance hit. This was a very common mistake back in the day so some motherboard manufacturers started to clearly label their bundled IDE-cables as “CD-ROM” for the UDMA-33 cable and “HDD” for the UDMA-100 cable. The recommended way to connect your drives was HDDs in the primary IDE-channel using UDMA-100 cable and optical drives in the secondary IDE-channel using either UDMA-33 or UDMA-100 cable which ever happened to be at hand. You could also leave the jumpers at the default CS (Cable Select) setting if you’re not building any unusual configurations. In this setting the drive at the end of the IDE-cable will be considered as master and the one connected in the middle connector will be considered as slave, regardless of how many drives you are connecting. I seem to recall some benchmarks actually showing a slight increase in disk performance using the CS setting but don’t quote me on this. It’s been a long time. Some ideas for improvement; If you would like to have a large HDD storage in a period correct way (for Tualatin era) you could try to find an old PCI IDE RAID card and 4 (or more) period correct 60-80GB drives. I remember some people did this back in the day and it was darn impressive! Oh did I wish I could afford it myself. For the ultimate Tualatin experience you could try to find the legendary Asus TUSL2-C motherboard and unleash the beast by some overclocking goodness! For the maximum fun factor you might need to look for some highly overclock-able RAM too especially if you’re overclocking a Pentium3 that runs 133MHz FSB at stock. Back in 2002 I built a cheap Tualatin gaming rig from used parts and even though it wasn’t the cutting edge technology anymore it was still insanely powerful! I had a Tualatin based Celeron “Tualeron” overclocked somewhere around 1.7GHz with a huge aftermarket HSF. My Radeon 8500 64MB DDR graphics card had an AMD K6-2 CPU cooler bolted on the GPU and HUGE memory heatsinks cut out from an old Pentium2 passive heatsink! And of course it was volt-modded and overclocked to the absolute max. I even had a similar full-size ATX case like the one in the video with 4 powerful Papst case fans but it wasn’t too loud because I effectively sound-insulated the entire case with materials bought from the local car parts store. This rig used to run in circles around the early top-of-the-line Pentium4 Northwoods of the day that were outrageously more expensive than the old Pentium3 based Celeron! Had I built this system a year earlier from brand new parts it would’ve been even more phenomenal. It was my main computer till September 2005. It even used to run Half-Life 2 quite nicely with decent quality settings. Don’t expect to see that happening with the Voodoo5 though. On the other hand it might be fun to try :) Sometimes I still feel the urge to build a new Tualatin rig and do it even better than the first time. Just for the sake of nostalgia…I think building a PC used to be more fun and interesting those days; so much more challenging and rewarding than now. By the way you could always go for a period correct PSU and simply recap it if the caps have gone bad. Seeing how you did the Voodoo card it should be a piece of cake for you. IMHO it would add greatly to the nostalgia factor keeping it as period correct as practically possible; the loud fan noises, the HDD grinding and all, would be like a time machine for every sense :)
This video shows how far pc have come in the last 20 year and how the new age of gamer such as myself should appreciate the hardware we have today. I’m glad I found this video great video man
Cable Management in old pcs isnt and the easiest thing to do...best thing you can do is use ropes or something like that to tie them close to each other but they will still be around your other parts trust me i have an HP Pavillion OEM(All In One) PC from 2006 litellary the Cables were tied close to each other but they were above the Motherboard,Ram,GPU,CPU,CPU Cooler Like A Bridge
I can't believe I tripped over this channel. I just built a windows 98 machine on Saturday in the exact NIB case I found at a mom and pop computer store in my area. They have a second one still there.
I remember sneaking into my dads computer room at night just to play solitaire and minesweeper. Also found out he has a stash of pornographic CD's and oh boy did I enjoy that
And here I had to use my older brother's stash of Hustler and Playboy with the pages all stuck together which he in turn stole from my Dad. I still remember the issue of Playboy with Laytoyah Jackson on the cover. But these were the days before computer porn was a common thing. I had to make due with that, or with the porn on Pay Per View cuz we had one of those cable boxes that gave you all the channels. Or if that wasn't available, I just had to make due with scrambled porn on the other TV without a box. Or movies with sexy scenes, like that scene in Ghostbusters 2 when the bath tub tries to eat Sigourney Weaver and she's in her bra. Man my standards were low back then.
Not exactly a question about the build, but was the music at 9:06 actually coming from the window that popped up, or added in afterwards? And regardless, do you know if there is any way to find that song and listen to it?
This sounds like it would be a fun machine to stick a spare drive into and run some old malware. Though with that Intel chipset I might be wary of trying CIH...
Mc Rex: u.lewd.se/kY4Kkt_welcom98.wav AkBKukU: Where did you find this awesome case? Just like you, I love those full tower cases, but in my entire life, I've seen maybe two of them IRL :
@MC Rex That's question would be out of place in the Q&A so I'll answer it here. That is the music for the welcome screen. I never actually had the speakers hooked up in the video. I recorded the audio directly through my mixer to get it and the mics as one source. I suppose you could listen to it here: ruclips.net/video/QNjtD2VnTeY/видео.html because I used the track as the music for the trailer for this video. I'm not sure if there is a longer version.
It's not a question, but I had this nice feeling when New CRT monitor was unpacked. And when whole machine started working it was huge "Aaaawwww!" for me, Yeah, I'm a sucker for these old computers. Brings me the memories of playing some games at my dad's work when he was on the overnight shift and I went there at the evening to play some games on that office machine. And when later I got my own computer. But that was when I was in a high school in 2002 already - way past this era.
Oh my, this video brings so much back to memory. I was a teen ager in the late 90s and 100% of what was in this video is what drew me into computers back then.
This was so pleasing to watch! I would have to build this machine a clear dust cabinet made from polycarbonate to minimise UV exposure too. Thank you for the nostalgia! 😊
Very nostalgic, I remember building computers pretty much like this one. Just one observation, as far as I remember, back in 97/98 5.25” floppy disks/drives weren’t really being used anymore. I remember using a ZIP Drive in this “era” (had one with parallel interface, I think I still have it somewhere in the house), just before CD-R and RW completely killed ZIP Drives. At least here in Brazil (and we were a few steps behind the US due to high prices of hardware). Anyway, very good video, I collect some things and hardware IS not one of them, but I appreciate things from the past so well taken care!
Man really takes me back. We had a windows 98 computer, but it was in the living room, as back then computers were hella expensive and it was unheard of to have your on PC let alone a laptop! Dial up connection, Yahoo chat rooms, command and conquer and the original 97/98 championship manager and age of empires. What a trip down memory lane.

Naquela década nem todos podiam montar uma configuração tão top como essa, era o PC dos sonhos naquele ano. Muito obrigado por este vídeo, sua ideia de utilizar somente produtos novos na caixa foi algo de grande criatividade.
Abraços!
Não perca as esperanças, alguém pode te responder.
Olha só, te respondi! :)
Finally found one on these types of videos!
@keith meus pêsames
the way you present your ideas always blows me away! ️
Feel just like yesterday..

This video just took me back to my childhood. I grew up building computers with my Dad, I was very young but learned a lot. I played a lot of games kids my age didn’t get to play. Seeing this video takes me back to the good old days when all I had were my video games and nothing to worry about. Awesome video my man you made my day.
06:13 Man! I am crying hearing those floppy and disk bootup sounds!!!
yeah that was a awesome time. Not to mention the modem dialin sound when conntecting to AOL :D
Tim Vels nothing special my current pc has that sound too 😂
Got that on my ps4
Talked dirty to me

Greetings from South Korea. The magnificent Voodoo 5500 was my favorite VGA of all time. Around 2000 it was so fun to build a new PC. Thank you for taking me back to the era.
age of empire II is still played in 2019!!
Yeah and its still awesome to play with
So is starcraft and its free now too :)
Yesh, it's so nostalgic 😩😩😍
By my grandpa!
In 2020 too))))
1993 was a pretty awesome year for pc-gaming. Sim City 2000, Doom, Myst, X-Wing, Syndicate, Rebel Assault... the list goes on.
Quake
Hey guys, I've been searching for a game for a while now. Around the 2000-2005 years. It was a shooter, with like demons or zombies but some of them had wings. And I remeber when you entered the map it was like a mental assylum and it was a stone bridge in front of you to reach the assylum, can someone help me to find this game? it was a little bit gore from what I remember

I couldn't afford a computer back in the day so i just played console games 😓
@@sauce773 I had to go over to a friend to play SNES and PSX. (:
Neat editing! Looking forward to the next parts :)
i'm so grateful that youtube recommended this video, didn't stop smiling and think about my old pcs. Thank you so much for this, one of the rare videos on youtube that i didn't speed up to 1.5x ou 2x
when hear the Windows sound，I think there is tears in my eyes
Same dude, it took me to my childhood instantly
That sound reminds me back when my wife was around before she passed away. Good memories but sad at the same time.
Godzilla fucking died trying to read that sentence
Me too....old times
9:00 oh man... I've smiled ear to ear
That magical sound....
Me too, got this feeling...really this music is amazing
Oh that CD ROM reading sound... Feeling nostalgic... ♥️
Ну ты мужик молоток! Но хочется , сказать отдельно тому, кто это всё сохранил в заводской упаковке
ЗЫ: я сам люблю все это такое!) Люблю все открывать новое в боксе!) Такой кайф, от всего этого процесса!)
Quake 3 was way ahead of its time. Released in 1999 but still looks and plays great today.
Agreed. Id Tech 3 Engine games look fantastic in general too.
@@xsychoreese9877 For me its either the last two Jedi Knight games or Voyager Elite Force, but COD is up there with those games.
That's called "An active community" xD
I had an amd duron when i was 10 early 2000s and i remember that i cant play quake 3 arena... that card was really good and that sound card too
i died a little when he didnt play half life 1

My jaw dropped when i saw the case, that was my favorite case also, I had no idea it was so well loved by others. That made my day!
A part of me has died seeing all that new stuff from 20 years ago being opened.
Why would that make you sad? All those untouched parts finally getting used after 20 years instead of rotting away in storage or a landfill. Wonderful. Makes me want to dig out some of my old components and do this myself.
@@nocilol3000 Preservation, the more of the items that are opened, the less common it is to find new components, items that are 20 years old that aren't being sold anymore aren't that common anymore, so it's why I feel kinda sad seeing precious brand new tech being used where today's technology puts this stuff to shame and it's seen as a relic.
@@potatolol4579 but he put every part to good use and built an old - new beige tower that should last for a very long time!
Same
Normally I would also cringe at someone opening something that has been sealed (and thus well-preserved) for so long.
However, unlike all those people out there who do it just for the "unboxing" experience, this guy actually gave these components the life they have never had.
And thus, unlike with most other video's, I do not mind him unboxing these relics.
Things you make in this video are so goddamn beautiful. It's a passion to things like that. Really nice video, you are great Dude :D
11:49 I still play that shit today 😅. Evergreen Classic
Absolutely! Me too :)
I'm actually playing it now, the hd edition
Another great nostalgic video! Thanks 👍🏻
Takes me back. Though I didnt see my all time favourite line... 'It is now safe to turn off your computer'
This was so beautiful. So many good memories and honestly i’ve never seen a top full maximum setup for that kind of pc, in those times were pretty much a rare thing to see specially the “gaming” setup
Man, this sure brings back some memories! You might not want to connect your relatively “fast” 7200RPM HDD into the same IDE-channel with your optical drive though. Most optical drives of that era only support up to UDMA-33 transfers while your HDD and motherboard support up to UDMA-100. The entire IDE-channel transfer speed is determined by the slowest device in the channel so your 7200RPM drive now gets a very noticeable performance hit. This was a very common mistake back in the day so some motherboard manufacturers started to clearly label their bundled IDE-cables as “CD-ROM” for the UDMA-33 cable and “HDD” for the UDMA-100 cable. The recommended way to connect your drives was HDDs in the primary IDE-channel using UDMA-100 cable and optical drives in the secondary IDE-channel using either UDMA-33 or UDMA-100 cable which ever happened to be at hand. You could also leave the jumpers at the default CS (Cable Select) setting if you’re not building any unusual configurations. In this setting the drive at the end of the IDE-cable will be considered as master and the one connected in the middle connector will be considered as slave, regardless of how many drives you are connecting. I seem to recall some benchmarks actually showing a slight increase in disk performance using the CS setting but don’t quote me on this. It’s been a long time.
Some ideas for improvement;
If you would like to have a large HDD storage in a period correct way (for Tualatin era) you could try to find an old PCI IDE RAID card and 4 (or more) period correct 60-80GB drives. I remember some people did this back in the day and it was darn impressive! Oh did I wish I could afford it myself.
For the ultimate Tualatin experience you could try to find the legendary Asus TUSL2-C motherboard and unleash the beast by some overclocking goodness! For the maximum fun factor you might need to look for some highly overclock-able RAM too especially if you’re overclocking a Pentium3 that runs 133MHz FSB at stock. Back in 2002 I built a cheap Tualatin gaming rig from used parts and even though it wasn’t the cutting edge technology anymore it was still insanely powerful! I had a Tualatin based Celeron “Tualeron” overclocked somewhere around 1.7GHz with a huge aftermarket HSF. My Radeon 8500 64MB DDR graphics card had an AMD K6-2 CPU cooler bolted on the GPU and HUGE memory heatsinks cut out from an old Pentium2 passive heatsink! And of course it was volt-modded and overclocked to the absolute max. I even had a similar full-size ATX case like the one in the video with 4 powerful Papst case fans but it wasn’t too loud because I effectively sound-insulated the entire case with materials bought from the local car parts store. This rig used to run in circles around the early top-of-the-line Pentium4 Northwoods of the day that were outrageously more expensive than the old Pentium3 based Celeron! Had I built this system a year earlier from brand new parts it would’ve been even more phenomenal. It was my main computer till September 2005. It even used to run Half-Life 2 quite nicely with decent quality settings. Don’t expect to see that happening with the Voodoo5 though. On the other hand it might be fun to try :) Sometimes I still feel the urge to build a new Tualatin rig and do it even better than the first time. Just for the sake of nostalgia…I think building a PC used to be more fun and interesting those days; so much more challenging and rewarding than now.
By the way you could always go for a period correct PSU and simply recap it if the caps have gone bad. Seeing how you did the Voodoo card it should be a piece of cake for you. IMHO it would add greatly to the nostalgia factor keeping it as period correct as practically possible; the loud fan noises, the HDD grinding and all, would be like a time machine for every sense :)

Watching StarCraft being played on an actual old looking computer brings back so many memories..
Amazing build, and a lot of effort (and investment!) put into this video. Very well done, and very entertaining - thank you!
This video shows how far pc have come in the last 20 year and how the new age of gamer such as myself should appreciate the hardware we have today. I’m glad I found this video great video man
people are way too spoiled these days
10:40 sound design at its finest. Just a guy humming the z sound.

You need some cable managing

@@willnicholson18 LMAO this setup isn’t supposed to be an aesthetic pc
Cable Management in old pcs isnt and the easiest thing to do...best thing you can do is use ropes or something like that to tie them close to each other but they will still be around your other parts trust me i have an HP Pavillion OEM(All In One) PC from 2006 litellary the Cables were tied close to each other but they were above the Motherboard,Ram,GPU,CPU,CPU Cooler Like A Bridge

09:06 - Man. I still love this intro 😍
I can't believe I tripped over this channel. I just built a windows 98 machine on Saturday in the exact NIB case I found at a mom and pop computer store in my area. They have a second one still there.
I remember sneaking into my dads computer room at night just to play solitaire and minesweeper. Also found out he has a stash of pornographic CD's and oh boy did I enjoy that
Me too but mine hadnt porn but it had gta 1
Lol same :)
So you played solitaire on a PC and then played hand solo on your PP.
MGTOW Lite this is why i’m on youtube 😂
And here I had to use my older brother's stash of Hustler and Playboy with the pages all stuck together which he in turn stole from my Dad. I still remember the issue of Playboy with Laytoyah Jackson on the cover. But these were the days before computer porn was a common thing. I had to make due with that, or with the porn on Pay Per View cuz we had one of those cable boxes that gave you all the channels. Or if that wasn't available, I just had to make due with scrambled porn on the other TV without a box. Or movies with sexy scenes, like that scene in Ghostbusters 2 when the bath tub tries to eat Sigourney Weaver and she's in her bra. Man my standards were low back then.
If you have any questions about this build ask away! I will be doing a QA follow up video for this project.
Not exactly a question about the build, but was the music at 9:06 actually coming from the window that popped up, or added in afterwards? And regardless, do you know if there is any way to find that song and listen to it?
This sounds like it would be a fun machine to stick a spare drive into and run some old malware. Though with that Intel chipset I might be wary of trying CIH...
Mc Rex: u.lewd.se/kY4Kkt_welcom98.wav
AkBKukU: Where did you find this awesome case? Just like you, I love those full tower cases, but in my entire life, I've seen maybe two of them IRL :
@MC Rex That's question would be out of place in the Q&A so I'll answer it here. That is the music for the welcome screen. I never actually had the speakers hooked up in the video. I recorded the audio directly through my mixer to get it and the mics as one source. I suppose you could listen to it here: ruclips.net/video/QNjtD2VnTeY/видео.html because I used the track as the music for the trailer for this video. I'm not sure if there is a longer version.
It's not a question, but I had this nice feeling when New CRT monitor was unpacked. And when whole machine started working it was huge "Aaaawwww!" for me, Yeah, I'm a sucker for these old computers. Brings me the memories of playing some games at my dad's work when he was on the overnight shift and I went there at the evening to play some games on that office machine. And when later I got my own computer. But that was when I was in a high school in 2002 already - way past this era.
9:00 I felt I travelled back in time when I heard this sound, I feel nostalgic!
Fr dude!
What sound is that?
GrandeGio What do you think it is? It’s the start-up sound for Windows 98, second only to the sound of Windows 95.
Those careless childhood times. It is really travel back in time. I remembered all those times with details
@@arif1984may it was very good time! (((
Oh my, this video brings so much back to memory. I was a teen ager in the late 90s and 100% of what was in this video is what drew me into computers back then.
This makes my nostalga heart very warm thank you!!
I still have my Voodoo 5 5500 in it's original box. Lol I look at it once in a while and remember all the fun I had with unreal. I miss those days.
What a blast from the past. Thank you for taking the time to make this video & sharing it with us.
This was so pleasing to watch! I would have to build this machine a clear dust cabinet made from polycarbonate to minimise UV exposure too. Thank you for the nostalgia! 😊
Very nostalgic, I remember building computers pretty much like this one. Just one observation, as far as I remember, back in 97/98 5.25” floppy disks/drives weren’t really being used anymore. I remember using a ZIP Drive in this “era” (had one with parallel interface, I think I still have it somewhere in the house), just before CD-R and RW completely killed ZIP Drives. At least here in Brazil (and we were a few steps behind the US due to high prices of hardware). Anyway, very good video, I collect some things and hardware IS not one of them, but I appreciate things from the past so well taken care!
To be honest I would have watched a 4+ hour video of you unboxing and installing each item... however long it took, totally uncut.
Well, that will be happening later! (It might even reach 4hrs, I shot a _lot_ of footage)
Seconded. I'd definitely watch it too.

Man really takes me back. We had a windows 98 computer, but it was in the living room, as back then computers were hella expensive and it was unheard of to have your on PC let alone a laptop!
Dial up connection, Yahoo chat rooms, command and conquer and the original 97/98 championship manager and age of empires. What a trip down memory lane.
Goddamn, I teared up a bit.
Ahh, computer in the living room... Getting booted off AOL because someone picked up the phone in another room... Purposely downloading BonziBuddy, before anyone knew what spyware was... CueCat barcode scanner... Tons of memories here

You forgot to plug in the audio cable between the CD drive and the sound card, leading to missing music in Need For speed, Quake, Aoe 2, etc.
I didn't, I intentionally muted most of the game music to avoid getting content ID'd
Oh ok ^^
So many people seem to do that mistake that I thought you did it too x)
Yes
Why wouldn't I ? ^^
When you do videos....
I thank RUclips recommendations for showing me this gem. Priceless work here, thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I miss the sound coming out of the 90s PCs.. and that awesome WIndows 98 intro music, thanks for not skipping any if that XD
