Lovely component choices, this came together well! Nice touch with the case badges too. Always enjoyed those Socket 7 motherboards, they're a great mix of early 90s compatibility and Pentium MMX usefulness. Can't go wrong with some Glide 1.x gaming.
Wow. Thanks dude. That means a lot coming from you. For real. Yep, mmx was a huge leap in quality back in the day and yes, you can't go wrong with glide API. I got those badges 3d printed and they turned out really good. Thank you, kind sir!
so im not the only one out there that loves the old noises and feel of hard drives! my retro 2004 pc has a 360gb ide drive and even my main has a WD Black 2tb 7200 rpm i use as a spare drive and fun noise generator! good stuff! :D
This was wonderful... I just re-lived the 90's too with a classic Pentium system as my first machine... a modest 75MHz with 16Mb RAM and a Quantum Trailblazer 840Mb drive. I still have a load of old machines, but not that old Pentium - you just gave me an idea... Cheers and take care, Pete
Wow! This was exactly the computer I had! Same rig, same games, same fun! Later, I upgraded it up to 48mb of ram and over locked it to 225mhz. I'm now rebuilding it! I just miss my voodoo1 who burnt back in the days. Thank you for the memories
I love builing my own PCs. Always did that throughout the years. An exception was my very own, and first PC, the all mighty IBM PS/1 486 that I bought back in September of 1993. That one was purchased on a store called Singer. Do you recall that chain of stores? Yeah. Gladly I had one of those stores around the place I lived in :) Amazing video, David! Loved it! Cheers! P.S.: Congrats and thanks for this 1st amazing year of content on RUclips!
Yeah, of course I remember Singer. Absolutely. Bought a few things there but never computers. Nothing like building your PC. Especially an old one 😁 Thanks mate!
Very clean setup, I love it. I hated running games under Windows 95 when that OS came out, but then more and more game devs started to rely on DirectX and other Win95 components, and there was no other way anymore... But with high specs like yours games would eventually run very smoothly. Cool video. Subscribing, and looking forward to new ones.
Just watch the intro so far, but I will save some time soon to watch the full video ;) Just want to say congratulations for your first year on the platform. Im celebrating my second year today =D You have been doing an amazing job with really great and original content. I think the future of the Retro Gaming scene on RUclips is within the small content creator that will spawn new types of videos with fresh ideas, and you are in the front line my friend. Parabéns David ;) e este 2º ano vai ser ainda melhor e maior acredita. Tudo de bom e joga muito my friend.
Make me remember when playing in my 486DX4 at 100MHZ the old games that we miss a lot like "The 7guest", "Phantasmagoria", "The Dig", "Little Big Adventure", "Full Trotlle", "Diablo I", "The curse of monkey Insland", "Bronken sword", "Warcraft", "Dune","Comander conquer"...so many games that are still in our memories.. :D
Your video was a pleasure to watch. I had these same experiences and it made me remember the same emotions of 90. With the resonance of mmx200 and voodo 3 pci .. I found myself reliving the past. : D
My "retro rig" is a HP Z420 workstation. Got it used for 500 sek (50 bucks)! New SSD and a GTX 1650 and its even a reserve pc. Anyway. Im working through a backlog of older titles on it right now. Theres gotta be so (much) satisfaction fixing up a older machine,all those fresh rare parts, the joy that it even boots up later, teleport back in time! And the curiosity of "whats the most demanding title it can run". Building new machines aren't as fun, if you got high spec parts, you know it "just works" for anything. Its been so long since last time i used Win 95/98, its like a distant dream, the 90s. :) My oldest rig i got, (the rest have been been lost in time). I got a Pentium 3 rig in my childhood bedroom, still works, last thing i did was run Thief on it ages ago. No idea what to do with it though! :D Great video.
The speakers are fine. It’s the control potentiometers that need to be cleaned. Get a can of a spray cleaner called DeOxIt. Spray it into the pot through one of the tiny holes and then work the knob back and forth a bunch of times to clean off all the rust and dirt.
hey from the us and a 80's baby, I just love every min of your video. I am getting ready myself to build a pc from my past. But with mine it going be a 1999 build with windows 98 se. I might even make a video about it.
Thanks very much for this video! I've just gotten into a retro kick myself, and it reminds me of some of my earliest builds before I really knew what I was doing. I could've sworn I saw you plug the floppy drive cable in backwards, as usually the red stripe should go towards the power plug as a rule of thumb. Either you fixed it offscreen or you knew better than I how that particular drive worked.
You can get a plastic riser standoff. SNip off the small end that would fir into slot on different motherboard tray then it would be supported. Or find a piece of foam rubber that is correct thickness and glue it to the main tray but don't glue to motherboard.
You had the "Sound Blaster Discovery" kit, with an AWE64, 12X CD-ROM with wireless remote, stereo speakers, and some software. The CD drive was called the "iNFRA1800." I hope that helps.
Something as simple as a removable motherboard tray is a dream for system builders, why doesn't this exist in EVERY modern day case? I literally emitted a groan of pleasure when I saw that...
Great "LGR style" video. Do you know anything more about the motherboard? Mine is really similar and I'm searching for a sort of manual to configure the cpu's jumpers.
It looks like you're using the wrong screws for the HDD.The lens-shaped ones are usually fine pitch. HDD needs the hexagonal ones (rougher pitch, slightly larger).This can damage the threads and leads to resonant metal noises.
What can speed up the Win95 install would be to create a separate disk partition using fdisk DOS utility (like 400MB), then copying all the Win95 installer files to it from the CD-ROM, and running install from that partition. Much faster. SIM City 2000 and NFS2. Had both those games.
Wish I've kept my first pc from early 1998. It was also a Pentium MMX 166MHz system. Last year though, I found some AT Socket 7 pc parts and built myself a proper 1997 high end system. Pentium MMX 200MHz, Soyo SY-5EAS5, 128MB SDRAM PC66, Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 1), Diamond Viper V330 (Riva 128), ESS ES1868F LP and a 20GB Maxtor drive running Windows 95 OSR2.1
Me too, I gave away my Pentium MMX to poor school which need so much because I have newer and faster P4 CPU, in retrospect I would rather give them newer CPU instead and keep my first computer now
Awesome Build. I love this vintage stuff. So much of this stuff has disappeared especially those old AT form factor cases. Since your board takes both Simm and Dimm modules. Have you thought of using the faster Dimm Modules(minimum PC-66) or a faster Pentium MMX or a AMD K6 CPU like the 233,266,or 300Mhz if the board will work with those processors as an upgrade to get that boost for carmageddon.
Tell me about. AT cases are a rare over here. I have three and I treasure it. Yeah, we have some good options with the board, but the idea was to rebuild the exact same machine that I had back in day 😉
9:00 We had that same drive - Creative 12X with an infrared remote. My dad probably got it at Best Buy (US). From what I was told I think it was one of the cheaper drives at the store, even though it had that crazy remote thing and all the bundled software associated with it. Maybe it was on a clearance sale? Ours died after about a year or so. Honestly I didn't like it for a couple reasons 1) It was my first experience with a "high speed" drive that spins down when idle and has to spin up every time it's accessed, and I thought the lag that caused was annoying (slower drives don't do that nearly as much, they can spin continuously because they're a lot smoother and quieter). 2) The drive tray would automatically close after a preset time. It would often start to close just as I was putting a disc on the tray. It made me mad when it did that. I remember that the remote relied on a Windows program that had to be running which listened for commands from the remote. It kept making the hard drive light blink every few seconds which was a little bothersome. It was cool though, you could program it do almost anything with the remote. We never had a practical use for it, but the idea that I could use a remote control to run programs from across the room was amusing.
My first PC was a Pentium 100. It was very expensive but it introduced me to the internet and I got a lot of use from it. I still have it though I put a Pentium 133 in it. Just because. HP Pavilion
Hello. I have the same motherboard. I have a question - could you please specify the pinout of the PS2 socket on the motherboard. I need this to connect a mouse. Best regards
That CD Drive you speak of! It's likely under the Creative Digital IR drives! I have i believe a 1999 model of said drive. They are really fun to play around with.
The other really popular consumer level soundcard in the late 1990s, was the fantastic Yamaha SW1000XG. Not suitable for gaming but great for everything else.
Congratulations on hitting your first year anniversary and for this excellent PC build! :-D My retro build, which I completed earlier this year, is based on my very first PC's Intel Celeron 400(A) Mendocino Socket 370 CPU and ATX case, revolving around a Tyan Tomahawk 440 BX motherboard, 512MB of SDRAM, 128MB DDR GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP card, Turtle Beach Montego II Aureal Vortex 2 PCI card, Yamaha Audician 32 ISA card with DreamBlaster S1 daughtercard, and dual booting between Windows 98 Second Edition and 2000 Professional. The specifications of the CPU can be seen here: www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron/Intel-Celeron%20400%20-%20FV80524RX400128%20(FV524RX400%20128).html
Anyway, I would downgrade to 128MB ram, it's more legit. Also graphic is too strong for the slow CPU. I would underclocked it to minimum, to spare it more. For geforce 4, - 1 ghz CPU is needed, otherwise, it bottleneck whole systtem. That card fit more into Socket A thunder bird or Athlon XP system.
@@warrax111 For me, "legit" or "period correct" is not just how a machine spec would be fresh out of the factory, but how much you'd subsequently upgrade the crap out of it with compatible parts before replacing it. ;-)
@@outtheredude you would not upgrade to geforce 4 mx440 in mid 2002, cause it's wasted money, trust me. Celeron 400 just cannot feed it. Celeron 400 is even too slow for voodoo3 3000/ Riva TNT 2 Celeron 400 fits perfectly to voodoo2 and just use it's full potential. You would buy used Geforce 2 mx, but probably even in 2001. As cheap upgrade. Mainly because of T&L support. T&L helped with slow CPU in post 2000 games. We bought Geforce 4 MX440 in august 2002, as upgrade to voodoo2 with k6-2 500, along with Thunderbird 1333. Without Thunderbird at least 1 ghz, card is wasted money, I would buy MX400 gf2 instead, if stayig on k6-500. Or used voodoo3. Mainly because of getting 1024x768 resolution
Damn, that's a nice PC. I almost sound like the T-1000, when I say that. Anyway, have you thought about putting in a faster CPU, like a Pentium 233? That may help with speeding up some of the higher resolution DOS games because it looked like Duke Nukem 3D was slowing down just a little. I think I have a PC like that, (minus any 3d accelerators) in my garage. I should take it out and see if I can build a mid 90s PC, out of it.
Thanks. Yes I did, but the purpose was to rebuild my original machine. Maybe I'll do some upgrades down the line. Alone in the garage? You should definitely do that 😉
Great video! I am scavenging the needed components to build a Windows 95 PC myself for non-gaming, non-internet purposes. My inspiration for this is dual: I have a drafting and a word processing program from waaay back that I like, and I also happen to have the Windows 95 install CD-ROM. I almost threw these out several times these past 20 years, but somehow they still remain. (Win 95 boot disk is lost to time, so a replacement is on it's way) Your video has taught me exactly what I need, and how to connect everything. I assume this "Voodoo" card is a gaming card, for both the graphics and audio. So two questions: 1) Can you game with just the separate sound card and graphics card? (no plans for gaming yet, but you never know) 2) Can you skip the separate sound card and graphics card, and just use the Voodoo card for everything?
Hello there Thank you for watching! 1) Yes, you can game with a graphics card and sound card only. No hardware 3D acceleration. 2) No. The voodoo is a 3D accelerator only. This meaning it needs a 2D card companion and it has no sound capabilities whatsoever. So, sound card is mandatory. As for graphics, you can setle for a 2D card only or 2D plus 3D accelerator. Note: More advenced graphics cards integrated 2D and 3D in one card only, either in PCI or AGP flavors.
Já nem lembrava como era Windows 95 e os sons que estas máquinas faziam o única coisa que não tenho saudades é da demora na instalação. Esse need for speed ta muito fixe faz me ter saudades e vontade de montar uma máquina para voltar a jogar.
Sim era mesmo. Uma dúvida se resusita-se o meu pentium 3 e instalar-se Windows 98 conseguia jogar esse need for speed, warcraft e jogos em ms dows de diskettes?
@@nunonobrega418 afirmativo. O windows 98 ainda tem DOS por trás e todos os jogos correm em modo software e alguns com opões adicionais como glide ou direct 3d.
man I installed dos, then win95 no problem, chipset.. then my matrox and voodoo and also awe64 and finally once everything should be finished I can't boot past Update DMI Information now, unless I use a boot disk then no problem. This is my first AT in a while!
@@DeckardGames I have. And on Pentium 2 it quit to DOS as yours. But on Pentium 1 system, I've got from other person, it restart whole computer , then after restart, it boots into DOS, with some kind of modified autoexec and config.sys. I think prevous owner didnt installed MSDOS first, thenwindows 98, but straight windows98 , or something. Never saw this kind of behaviour. Maybe he didnt put sys c: from start up diskette, I dont know. I didnt find way how to change it. Maybe, there is somewhere option for it in registry. I already put dos files, and C:\DOS directory, but it didnt helped. Basicaly it does same thing, as when you set application to run into real DOS mode, it restart first, then enter real DOS. But I want quit straight to DOS from windows 98.
@@DeckardGames Yes, that is what I dont want to do. I need easy 1-2 minute fix. :) Also I need to resolve this mystery, how to fix it, and why it occurs. If you find solution in future, just put it in this comment. :)
You might have something strange set in the advanced properties of "C:\Winows\Exit To Dos" or something strange in C:\DOSSTART.BAT (if it exists), those and any CONFIG.DOS or AUTOEXEC.DOS files that exist would be what I'd investigate first.
Can you make video things, what must remember when build you first AT style (example 486) pc? I think also some generation Z nerds interesting 486, its fully different world (ISA, VLB, FPM, IDE, etc).
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 Dude, Intel released Pentium 166 and 200 MMX, first Pentium MMX processors at January 1997. It's historical date, I'm not lying to you. So it's more likely, you remember it wrong. You could not have it prior to january 1997. You probably had Classic Pentium, or remember it wrong.

nessa epoca tinhamos pcs de verdade que podiamos escolher oq colocar em nossas maquinas, hoje em dia ainda tem isso, mas, competem deslealmente com computadores capados e gabinetes menores que uma torradeira.
How much did it cost building it? Much more than a real one? Sorry if this is something already present in the video, I do not have the time to actually watch this today
Surprised a pentium 1 could run those games 😂 as i had a Pentium 2 PC in the late 90s and it struggled to run Tomb Raider or NFS3 even wity a Voodoo graphics card 😂
hahaha...one of my systems is similar as far as the impossible cable connector placement. What were they thinking? We try to "cable manage" but in the end come to the conclusion that no one will ever look inside it so why worry :-)
wow i remember that pentium 1 pc i had, it s***** so bad, same as the pentium 2, 4 was ok, ahh and that voodoo graphics card, i remember upgrading to voodoo 3 and wow, these games looked better than i remember XD
Those CD's with IR were called the Infra24 or something similar. I have seen them in the past but never owned one. www.pcang.com/img/creative_infra2400.jpg

@@DeckardGames thanks!
My first PC was a Pentium 100. It was very expensive but it introduced me to the internet and I got a lot of use from it. I still have it though I put a Pentium 133 in it. Just because. HP Pavilion
Cherish that thing.
Wow. I like this guy!
Thank you!
nice! love the content. Though I suggest, just don't imitate LGR too much. Do your own thing! Keep it up bro!
Thanks. Clint is a huge inspiration indeed.
Hello. I have the same motherboard. I have a question - could you please specify the pinout of the PS2 socket on the motherboard. I need this to connect a mouse. Best regards
That CD Drive you speak of! It's likely under the Creative Digital IR drives! I have i believe a 1999 model of said drive. They are really fun to play around with.
Probably. Never seen my 12x ever again. Not even in picture.
The other really popular consumer level soundcard in the late 1990s, was the fantastic Yamaha SW1000XG. Not suitable for gaming but great for everything else.
Can you tell me what are those keyboard are?
we want more retro computers
Which OSR version is this windows 95?
Oh hehe i found the older build you told me about x)
Anyone know the motherboard model #? Or an approximation therof?
Could you share some info about the CPU heatsink you used here? I'd love to have one for my pentium 1.
I don't have more info rather than being a socket 7 heatsink. They were so generic... Sorry dude.
@@DeckardGames no worries. I'll have a look around :)
Você poderia me dizer, como fez para instalar a placa USB ? vc conseguiu o drive em algum site ? poderia passar o endereço...
Basta procurar por nusb33e.exe
Pentium 1 + S3 TRIO 64 1mb + DIAMOND 3D MONSTER VooDoo 4mb PCI 😍😍😍
Congratulations on hitting your first year anniversary and for this excellent PC build! :-D
My retro build, which I completed earlier this year, is based on my very first PC's Intel Celeron 400(A) Mendocino Socket 370 CPU and ATX case, revolving around a Tyan Tomahawk 440 BX motherboard, 512MB of SDRAM, 128MB DDR GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP card, Turtle Beach Montego II Aureal Vortex 2 PCI card, Yamaha Audician 32 ISA card with DreamBlaster S1 daughtercard, and dual booting between Windows 98 Second Edition and 2000 Professional. The specifications of the CPU can be seen here:
www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron/Intel-Celeron%20400%20-%20FV80524RX400128%20(FV524RX400%20128).html
Thanks.
Those are some nice specs indeed.
Anyway, I would downgrade to 128MB ram, it's more legit. Also graphic is too strong for the slow CPU. I would underclocked it to minimum, to spare it more. For geforce 4, - 1 ghz CPU is needed, otherwise, it bottleneck whole systtem. That card fit more into Socket A thunder bird or Athlon XP system.
@@warrax111 For me, "legit" or "period correct" is not just how a machine spec would be fresh out of the factory, but how much you'd subsequently upgrade the crap out of it with compatible parts before replacing it. ;-)
@@outtheredude you would not upgrade to geforce 4 mx440 in mid 2002, cause it's wasted money, trust me. Celeron 400 just cannot feed it. Celeron 400 is even too slow for voodoo3 3000/ Riva TNT 2 Celeron 400 fits perfectly to voodoo2 and just use it's full potential. You would buy used Geforce 2 mx, but probably even in 2001. As cheap upgrade. Mainly because of T&L support. T&L helped with slow CPU in post 2000 games.
We bought Geforce 4 MX440 in august 2002, as upgrade to voodoo2 with k6-2 500, along with Thunderbird 1333. Without Thunderbird at least 1 ghz, card is wasted money, I would buy MX400 gf2 instead, if stayig on k6-500. Or used voodoo3. Mainly because of getting 1024x768 resolution
Creative Infra i think is the Drive you are on about. I have one :-) have to load the cd into a cartridge if its the same one?
Yes, it is a creative infra series. Mine had no cartridge though.
@@DeckardGames Maybe that is my other Creative Disc Drive i own then im going to have to check now im curious haha
i know one of them loads with a Cartridge
@@nathanmilnthorpe11 Do it!
@@DeckardGames Turns out it was the Creative MPC2 Scsi Disc Drive is the Cartridge loaded Drive my Infra is just Standard Procedure tray loader
It looks great.
Thanks!
Damn, that's a nice PC. I almost sound like the T-1000, when I say that. Anyway, have you thought about putting in a faster CPU, like a Pentium 233? That may help with speeding up some of the higher resolution DOS games because it looked like Duke Nukem 3D was slowing down just a little. I think I have a PC like that, (minus any 3d accelerators) in my garage. I should take it out and see if I can build a mid 90s PC, out of it.
Thanks.
Yes I did, but the purpose was to rebuild my original machine. Maybe I'll do some upgrades down the line.
Alone in the garage? You should definitely do that 😉
Does anyone know the model / name of that case? I'd love to find one....
they were built like tanks back in the day
Indeed :D
Great video!
I am scavenging the needed components to build a Windows 95 PC myself
for non-gaming, non-internet purposes.
My inspiration for this is dual: I have a drafting and a word processing program from waaay back that I like,
and I also happen to have the Windows 95 install CD-ROM. I almost threw these out
several times these past 20 years, but somehow they still remain. (Win 95 boot disk is lost to time,
so a replacement is on it's way)
Your video has taught me exactly what I need, and how to connect everything.
I assume this "Voodoo" card is a gaming card, for both the graphics and audio. So two questions:
1) Can you game with just the separate sound card and graphics card? (no plans for gaming yet, but you never know)
2) Can you skip the separate sound card and graphics card, and just use the Voodoo card for everything?
Hello there
Thank you for watching!
1) Yes, you can game with a graphics card and sound card only. No hardware 3D acceleration.
2) No. The voodoo is a 3D accelerator only. This meaning it needs a 2D card companion and it has no sound capabilities whatsoever.
So, sound card is mandatory. As for graphics, you can setle for a 2D card only or 2D plus 3D accelerator.
Note: More advenced graphics cards integrated 2D and 3D in one card only, either in PCI or AGP flavors.
@@DeckardGames Thanks for the info.
If your burning CD-Rom smells like your BBQ, I would suggest you might have something wrong with your BBQ also 🙂
With 200MMX I use Asus TX97-X motherboard with DIMMs.
With latest VIA chipset you can you AMD k6 233-300 MHz.
Nice stuff ✌️😁
You didn't have time to watch it 😄
@@DeckardGames true i passed over some parts but i will see it in more detail during the week ;)
@@RetroStu82 I know dude 😉
@@DeckardGames still looking for that 3.8.6 from texas isntruments for you ;)
Thanks ;)

Top amigo tive um já não tenho pena....:) bom video...:)
Já nem lembrava como era Windows 95 e os sons que estas máquinas faziam o única coisa que não tenho saudades é da demora na instalação. Esse need for speed ta muito fixe faz me ter saudades e vontade de montar uma máquina para voltar a jogar.
Bons velhos tempos.
Jogos em glide eram top. Ter uma aceleradora 3d naquela altura era qualquer coisa!
Sim era mesmo. Uma dúvida se resusita-se o meu pentium 3 e instalar-se Windows 98 conseguia jogar esse need for speed, warcraft e jogos em ms dows de diskettes?
@@nunonobrega418 afirmativo. O windows 98 ainda tem DOS por trás e todos os jogos correm em modo software e alguns com opões adicionais como glide ou direct 3d.
OK vou ver se aquilo trabalha e possa ser que consiga alguma pérolas
Can you play Rising Lands on this pc and make a video?
I wish I could get a Voodoo card for an old Pentium III that i plan to build 😓
It's all about patience on getting a good price.
Sir, I want a PC like this, where can I get it from.
Sir, that is a great question :D
@@DeckardGames would you sell yours for me🙂
@@hitman6647 that would be like selling my childhood memories 😄
With some patience, one can get all the parts needed for a good price.
man I installed dos, then win95 no problem, chipset.. then my matrox and voodoo and also awe64 and finally once everything should be finished I can't boot past Update DMI Information now, unless I use a boot disk then no problem.
This is my first AT in a while!
1:11:40- how to exit into dos mode without restart? my win98 wants restart (probaly dos wasnt installed before win98)
You don't have the option to restart into DOS?
@@DeckardGames I have. And on Pentium 2 it quit to DOS as yours. But on Pentium 1 system, I've got from other person, it restart whole computer , then after restart, it boots into DOS, with some kind of modified autoexec and config.sys. I think prevous owner didnt installed MSDOS first, thenwindows 98, but straight windows98 , or something. Never saw this kind of behaviour. Maybe he didnt put sys c: from start up diskette, I dont know. I didnt find way how to change it. Maybe, there is somewhere option for it in registry. I already put dos files, and C:\DOS directory, but it didnt helped.
Basicaly it does same thing, as when you set application to run into real DOS mode, it restart first, then enter real DOS. But I want quit straight to DOS from windows 98.
@@warrax111 DOS is not needed. A clean installation of Win98 should fix it I believe.
@@DeckardGames Yes, that is what I dont want to do. I need easy 1-2 minute fix. :) Also I need to resolve this mystery, how to fix it, and why it occurs. If you find solution in future, just put it in this comment. :)
You might have something strange set in the advanced properties of "C:\Winows\Exit To Dos" or something strange in C:\DOSSTART.BAT (if it exists), those and any CONFIG.DOS or AUTOEXEC.DOS files that exist would be what I'd investigate first.
Can you make video things, what must remember when build you first AT style (example 486) pc? I think also some generation Z nerds interesting 486, its fully different world (ISA, VLB, FPM, IDE, etc).
I'll put it on the bucket list
A Pentium with MMX was from 96, it was the last version prior to Pentium II
no. I'ts from 1997. first was from jan 1997, highest 233 was from june 1997. 1996 was about 166 and 200 classic ones.
@@warrax111
I got my first Penium II in late 97. I had the 200 MMX for about a Year already
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 Dude, Intel released Pentium 166 and 200 MMX, first Pentium MMX processors at January 1997. It's historical date, I'm not lying to you. So it's more likely, you remember it wrong. You could not have it prior to january 1997. You probably had Classic Pentium, or remember it wrong.
@@warrax111
I t was a MMX, and it cam e with a Key Chain with a MMX Chip on it, which I still have. it was in Dec of 96, I still have the Receipt. In Dec of 97 I bought my first PII
@@pjimmbojimmbo1990 You''ve pre-ordered it probably in december 96, but it was released 8 january of 1997. So you've got it during January physically. In no way you could have it in december 1996 physically.
front panel audio header still on the mobo and battery still there
You are good
nessa epoca tinhamos pcs de verdade que podiamos escolher oq colocar em nossas maquinas, hoje em dia ainda tem isso, mas, competem deslealmente com computadores capados e gabinetes menores que uma torradeira.
Menores que uma torradeira 😂
Nice!
é bem por ai, estou finalizando a parte elétrica de um hospital veterinário e todos os pcs lá são assim.
só os servers que não.
Check with other speakers cause it looks amazing!
Will do in the future 😉
very good
Thank you.
How much did it cost building it? Much more than a real one?
Sorry if this is something already present in the video, I do not have the time to actually watch this today
Zero. This is my original hardware.
Surprised a pentium 1 could run those games 😂 as i had a Pentium 2 PC in the late 90s and it struggled to run Tomb Raider or NFS3 even wity a Voodoo graphics card 😂
.... and without tell at all "humanity!!!" ..... Certificate Of Authencity 24796 OEM :-P .... p.s. recently subbed
Thank you so much.
What is this pc specs
Thx for the memmories 🚬🚬
Oh, thank you for watching.
hahaha...one of my systems is similar as far as the impossible cable connector placement. What were they thinking? We try to "cable manage" but in the end come to the conclusion that no one will ever look inside it so why worry :-)
Indeed.
wow i remember that pentium 1 pc i had, it s***** so bad, same as the pentium 2, 4 was ok, ahh and that voodoo graphics card, i remember upgrading to voodoo 3 and wow, these games looked better than i remember XD
good video
Thank you.
One dead CD Rom drive 😄
You got lucky though
Yep, it could have gone really bad...
Those CD's with IR were called the Infra24 or something similar. I have seen them in the past but never owned one. www.pcang.com/img/creative_infra2400.jpg
Mine was a 12x. Never seen one ever again.
How much should I pay for one like this?
My advice is to scrap for parts dude.
Don't do anything crazy.
my pentium 133 is running windows 98
Nice. Keep it that way.
@@DeckardGames no way, it is a mobile laptop
