This was a wild ride of a video. The Voodoo 5 being DOA was alarming and nearly derailed the whole project...twice. The Motherboard doesn't seem to support two floppy drives as well. I never had both drives working in it. I still need to do some more testing to figure out if I can put a different BIOS on it to support that properly. I also wanted to show POD running instead of NFS but it has some problems running, especially in Glide mode with the Voodoo5. And another problem was that I couldn't get the gameport on the sound card to work. I need to try using the VXD drivers still to see if that makes a difference.
All those problems aside this computer is really great. I was pushing its backwards compatibility a bit far with MS Flight Sim(only about the top half of the screen is meant to be shown) but a Win98 build like this is great for old games. Sure, you could buy most of these on GOG or use the original disks/discs in a VM. But those make for a pale imitation of the real deal. The struggle is part of the fun, although maybe not recapping a Voodoo 5 level of struggle.
This is going to be the start of a series of videos that will showcase different aspects of building an running an old computer like this. The upcoming videos about the parts I chose will help explain why they are the ones I went with and how well they work. This video was meant to be a cathartic romp of 90's PC nostalgia. There will be a lot more in depth content from this later.

dont cry
Tears came to my eyes. I´m 40 now and I have done this installation a thousand times. Great content. Loved.
Exactly. We had to reinstall Win 98 almost every month or so just making our daily work with no malware, viruses or something harmful. But some of us were smart enough and used NT4.5 ;)

You did an excellent job! Not just putting the PC together, but you're also talented at putting these videos together and presenting them in an very entertaining and educational way. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
oh dear god... the sound of the fan, the booting beep and the opening music ♥
Memories man
beep beep!

I have a gaming pc and i have the beep
Pandoxyd the good old days mate, those are the sounds of nostalgia
That sound when you turn on your computer on 90s and didn’t realize that was on 85% volume

Did I enjoy it ? You kidding ? This is the most clean video I've ever seen in reviving old PCs : your voice is neutral, the materials are representative, the montage fits perfectly, and the games are the good ones. You make every IT tech proud of being on earth. Thumb up.
How am I the first reply after 11 months of this comment being out
It’s a shame you’re the first one to comment in 11 months since this was a pretty good comment anyway
Speak for yourself.

I'm a 13 year old with new aspirations I've bin so blind to all this new tech that I haven't realized how much I loved retro tech thank you
June 25th 2023 marks the 25th anniversary of its release. Don’t forget
I remember that when I was in grade school we required having our own floppy disk to submit our word text project lol

Ditto.

Me: why?
Brain: just watch it.

Amazing build, and a lot of effort (and investment!) put into this video. Very well done, and very entertaining - thank you!
I just want to say thank you for the wonderful video. Seeing all those brand new parts took me back to some of my favorite childhood memories of browsing around CompUSA, back when computers were exciting and fresh. Such good times.
How are all of my favorite nostalgic tech channels here??
Yeah, nostalgia always has a strong hold on almost anyone. Well, the fact that computers went obsolete faster than they do today was not that fun, though.

So many memories came up while watching this. My childhood... It was a great time for Computer stuff. Thank you so much for this ❤
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
That moving motherboard holder is epic, should be adapted in newer PC cases.
Agree
yep
Yeah
Yeah my hand was dying during plugging 12v😂😂
@snekSnack HAF-XB CASE FROM COOLER MASTER!!!
Imagine those people in their years unboxing that stuff, they're so really happy.
Yeah, I mean his faces was smiling af
I remembered when I was a kid, and my dad brought our first PC. I saw the future in front of me.
@@watanukif1 yeah was pretty cool. We didn't care about 3d until games started using it as part of the sale value. Then we all jumped onboard the graphics / pc race
Great video! Thanks for sharing! It brought back a lot of memories from that time period. I worked a lot with Intel boards a lot during that time because they were quite stable and reliable for the corporate world. It was fun to see one being built again. I agree that the Inwin Q500 was an amazing case! I think I had 2 or 3 of them at different times. Still have one in storage.
I'm surprised that you put the CD drive and the hard drive on the same ribbon. PATA can only run as fast as the slowest device. Most CDs were usually capped at ATA/33 while the newer hard drives could go as high as ATA/133. This motherboard was capped out at ATA/100, but with that 80 conductor ribbon, you could definitely get more performance out of it with the CD drive on the secondary IDE interface.
I'm in awe of your beige tower, and when you pulled out that motherboard tray. That was the stuff back in the day!🤩
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.

Mostly the FPS games were, rts were constant
Dude i found your channel last night and have been watching since. So awesome
Oh man, thx for that. Amazing memories with W98... nice video! hugs from Brazil.
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.
cost, some higher end cases do have a removable MB tray
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.
funny, all my pc cases are a piece of wood.. why.. you dont even need a case. :-)
8:58 that GLORIOUS sound, I've missed it so much D:
shut up man, u are prob 2005

Bro you always got VM's to relive that memory :)

Alen You certainly have issues. Parents not love you enough, huh?
Love that case. I built an Athlon based Win 98SE system not so long ago. Getting it up and running was troublesome, but worth it. Helps to have all the drivers beforehand.
this is so pleasant to watch, love all the old informatics stuff

Good recommendation by YT. I like specially the case where you can remove the mobo area. It is much easier to clean and also for troubleshooting unlike the new ones that are so cramped that it feels like it's the mobo area with a cover. Hope that casing will make a comeback. 😁
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.

Awesomeness Plays for pc at that time? 480p is low res. Common is 1024x768 at 100hz. And if I remember correctly, year 2000 I was using 24" 1200p crt monitor. And that's the reason why most gamer back then were very late to adopt LCD screen. LCD were Low res and low fps.
well, i mean still MOST were using CRT's until like maybe(?) windows 7. But yeah now the standard is 720 or 768 or mostly 1080/1440

You have no idea how this video made me feel wonderful about my first job, I put together a lot of PCS from that time. In that decade not everyone could put together a configuration as top as this, it was the PC of dreams that year. Thank you very much for this video, your idea of using only new products in the box was something of great creativity.
