XT couldn't really do very much, could it. A 386 running Windows 3.0 would seem to be the absolute minimum spec to compare to a modern computer. Maybe a Pentium 2 running Win98 as well, in the same case?

Oh man, I would kill to have a new 486 or early Pentium motherboard in ITX or mATX size. Would be perfect for hardware based DOS gaming machine that does not get in your way.
Actually, in the 90s I would go trash picking for a 386 so I could try out Linux. I found 286s and 8086s, an eye-opening DEC Rainbow, laser 128, but it wasn't until I got a PowerPC iBook that I had my personal Linux: oh the irony! So anyways, later there was an experimental ucLinux and I eventually discovered Minix. Still, a Linus Torvolds replica original 386 machine would have a strong appeal. IDK if it would be much of a gamer, but still MY idea of retro-computing.
Back in the 90s, I threw away so many computer parts that still worked just because they were obsolete. We didn’t even recycle. In the trash they went. While I never had anything too expensive or sought after today, I still wish I had some of those parts.
Man, i watch LGR videos as they come out, but videos like this really illustrates that i, for the most part, have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Like, i have never been very interested in old computers. I don't even know much about new computers. I just like your videos.

He nit picks the case manufacturer in the video, while simultaneously pointing out that the motherboard did not come with one. Of course the motherboard manufacturer should be responsible for the IO shield, case manufacturers can't possibly account for the wide variety of motherboard IO out there.

One of the Asus laptops i took apart recently (saying that because i don't remember which model it was) didn't have a Bios battery (no provision for one either, so not like they just didn't put it on). So there's still application for chargeless memory keeping.
That's by design. If your bios ever gets corrupted or you get locked out from a bad setting or forgotten password you'd be fucked if you couldn't just unplug the cmos and let it reset.
andrew342003 Every UEFI BIOS contains a feature to store significant data amounts in flash memory variables. The only data stored in battery ram in recent PCs are a few AT-compatibility variables and maybe a "self destruct-if-stolen" personal encryption key that you could reenter if you open the case yourself.
Love your videos. I have really bad general/social anxiety and depression, and every time I watch your videos everything just melts away. Thank you so much for helping me deal with it. Love you LGR!
My rig is in the black/green version of this case, it's an absolute beauty to build in, but it does get a bit cramped with an optical drive and 3.5 I/O expansion and a tri-fanned RX 480. Pro tip for this case, there's 2 screws on the top rear corner of the case under the side panels, remove those and you can pop the top & front open like a semi truck.
I love your videos man. This build looks great and that NuXT is an awesome example of classic turned modern. Makes me want to run out and build a new retro system myself.
Man, this thing is so awesome you made me download OpenWatcom v2 and I started C programming for the 8086 in a VM just to get ready for when I'll actually buy the kit. Thanks for discovering this gem!

Just before you get to the peel the cellophane section (10:10), pause the video, and set the speed of the video playback to .25. Switch it back once you're done. Not perfect, but it helps.
So cool! Just last weekend I found the monotech site and serched for an Video abaut the NuXT. No Videos on YT, and now one of my Fav. Retro PC YTber made an Video! Big THX!!!

There is. It's an old IBM with integrated 4MB if ram and GPU. It also has an ATX like layout at the back, with PS2 and Serial/parallel port. It supports the 486 DX2 66 and even the Pentium OverDrive. The only thing it lacks is a sound card. I saw this thing on ebay for 25€ recently, and I didn't buy it because it was untested.
@@ToneOFTheGods I may make a video as I build it. The big Trident chip will be challenging but I bought a narrow 'knife' tip for my Weller station in preparation. I've soldered SMD before but not at that fine a pitch.

It looks beautiful !... The black drive and logos look so stylish and bad-ass on this white case.. Awesome retro hi-tech design here, great work i love it.
This made me giddy! You know what retrofuturistic hardware could make this a more whole package? A flat, "slim", CRT, circa 2002! Keep the good work, Clint!
This is unbelievably cool. That case is so great! Seeing it with that IBM badge immediately made me think of those black IBM ThinkCentres from the early 2000s.
The screw+plate over the expansion slot bay was used on a lot of HP/Compaq mid-towers; it's possible the design dates further back than that, though IDK if I could link it to IBM somehow xD.
Clint, thank you so much. You just reminded me of 2 titles I (and my younger brother) played, or 'tried to play' about 22 years ago - totally gonna emulate them in dosbox first thing tommorow! Great episode as usual, although I feel like this build lacks... Yes. WOODGRAIN.
Is there something like an fpga that can actually accurately do different levels of old pc hardware? Like all the way from xt to a 486 perhaps? I'd like something that would have the correct speed in xt games but flick a switch or press a key combination and it would play Stunts/Doom with 486 speed. That would be what I would want.
What a huge case for that small board. But it DOES look sleek though, it does resemble the computers of that era color-wise. And it makes it look like a server or a beefy workstation. Also, the IBM and MS-DOS stickers look good. Yeah, as you have said, even though it only has five slots, the board comes with a video chip, an FDD/storage controller and I/O and it already has RAM extension beyond 640KB in place. Those have often been added by using add-on cards. True, some boards may have had RAM IC sockets but other machines had to be extended via a memory add-on card. So, yeah, the five slots are perfectly fine. I also like how it accepts CTRL + ALT + "+/-" to switch between frequencies. And it's a brand new board! I have never had a brand new computer up until the SLOT-1 / Socket 370 era. My first IBM-compatible was a 8088 XT with 4.77 - 8.00 MHz turbo, 20MB HDD, 5.25 FDD, 640KB RAM, CGA card and CGA monitor. Had magnificent times with it! Very nice piece of hardware you have there!
WOW! Terrific! Hopefully they will sell enough of them and consider creating one for a 286/386/486 (maybe a combo board of sorts) The prices is super reasonable when you consider that they had to create the thing, source it, all of the on board they have integrated and yes they are allowed to make a profit!
Nice video! Brings back those memories from back in the days when i try to get hold of als sorts of computer stuff and try to make it run on my system. The sound of a 5.25 floppy drive is so nice... Thank you for the video!
Been increasingly watching your videos, and other youtubers like yourself since i find this stuff facinating. Right now im attempting to build a pc off a motherboard i picked up for a buck at a thrift store. Comes with a socket 478 processor slot, two ddr ram slots, agp slot etc. So far a lot of my parts came free from dumpster diving lol. Looking to dual boot with windows ME and XP, just hoping its possible lol mainly cause id like to play XP games, and keep it open to play dos games without dos box. Anyways enough of my rambling, your videos are awesome LGR, keep it up :)
I would love to recreate my very first PC which was NEC 486DX. It had 8MB RAM and a 100MB HDD. Top speed was 33Mhz and it got me thru so many games like Doom, Duke 3D, MechWarrior, Solitaire, Day of Tentacle, Jill of the jungle, and so many more classic. I don't know what it is about mono PC speaker but when I hear it bleep, it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
7:16 Umm clint, does the case have a vent on the bottom for the power supply fan there, as if not, I dont think the thing can breath there, and you risk burning it out or premature wearing the crap out of it.
Putting a 5 1/4" drive in a modern case is the most LGR thing you can do to a case.
No that would be covering it in wood grain ;)

That PCB is beautiful. I wish there was more remakes of old PC like that
Sweet board, however that VGA card is a bit of an overkill :) What we really need is a NuAT with a nice 16-bit bus and high-speed '286/V30 at 16MHz...
or an Harris 286 25MHz, and beat all those pesky 386's ;)
...and a Roland MT-32, just for that little bit of extra swag over the Adlib in this one.
Its really amazing that the community is able to get products like these manufactured successfully.
TVGA9000? Sounds like overkill :) Like putting a Titan X GPU in a single core Pentium 4 system :D
This is so ridiculous, I love it
It's more for compatibility with displays, vga was around for 30 years unlike cga/ega, etc. Still, nice to have the board maxed out regardless.
What a huge case for that small board. But it DOES look sleek though, it does resemble the computers of that era color-wise. And it makes it look like a server or a beefy workstation. Also, the IBM and MS-DOS stickers look good. Yeah, as you have said, even though it only has five slots, the board comes with a video chip, an FDD/storage controller and I/O and it already has RAM extension beyond 640KB in place. Those have often been added by using add-on cards. True, some boards may have had RAM IC sockets but other machines had to be extended via a memory add-on card. So, yeah, the five slots are perfectly fine. I also like how it accepts CTRL + ALT + "+/-" to switch between frequencies. And it's a brand new board! I have never had a brand new computer up until the SLOT-1 / Socket 370 era. My first IBM-compatible was a 8088 XT with 4.77 - 8.00 MHz turbo, 20MB HDD, 5.25 FDD, 640KB RAM, CGA card and CGA monitor. Had magnificent times with it! Very nice piece of hardware you have there!
Oh, It’s been a little while since I’d seen Keen’s hand animation go so slowly 👍
WOW! Terrific! Hopefully they will sell enough of them and consider creating one for a 286/386/486 (maybe a combo board of sorts) The prices is super reasonable when you consider that they had to create the thing, source it, all of the on board they have integrated and yes they are allowed to make a profit!
20:06 Just smiling in the reflection there. :)
This is so badass I will replay it as soon as it finishes.
This is what i call "Premium" RUclips Content! :)
Nice video! Brings back those memories from back in the days when i try to get hold of als sorts of computer stuff and try to make it run on my system. The sound of a 5.25 floppy drive is so nice... Thank you for the video!
I just wanna know where you got those case badges. I WANT!
Links in the video description!
probably ebay
The mix of old tech and a little bit of modern style with the panel window... This is kinda surreal XD
Oh, I would *so* have tried to put an LCD into the case (in the blue frame) for a new take on Thick Monitor
Cool that someone designed and made this board! I manufacture PCBs so I find it cool that there is an 8088 board that is modern quality!
All-New LGR video on my 25th birthday??? I am one lucky dude! Thank you Clint!!
Nice! A fourth a century!
Happy Birthday!
Happy birthday! :)
Happy Birthday!
A very happy birthday to you.
the quality of the production is outstanding
9.55MHz? The raw power, but no rear atx motherboard plate?
According to the website, he's looking for a place to make these going forward.
You are such an old school nerd and I love it LGR!
Ummmm, at some point you might want to reverse the floppy cable. Twisted end should go to the drive, not the motherboard. :)
Came here to point that out - although 'the wrong way round' will work if you only have one floppy drive,
Been increasingly watching your videos, and other youtubers like yourself since i find this stuff facinating. Right now im attempting to build a pc off a motherboard i picked up for a buck at a thrift store. Comes with a socket 478 processor slot, two ddr ram slots, agp slot etc. So far a lot of my parts came free from dumpster diving lol. Looking to dual boot with windows ME and XP, just hoping its possible lol mainly cause id like to play XP games, and keep it open to play dos games without dos box.
Anyways enough of my rambling, your videos are awesome LGR, keep it up :)
It must be fun to be Clint right now. Bruhs, that computer looks clean
Nobody:
Barbie: CLINT!
I would love to recreate my very first PC which was NEC 486DX. It had 8MB RAM and a 100MB HDD. Top speed was 33Mhz and it got me thru so many games like Doom, Duke 3D, MechWarrior, Solitaire, Day of Tentacle, Jill of the jungle, and so many more classic. I don't know what it is about mono PC speaker but when I hear it bleep, it never fails to bring a smile to my face.
Man I thought you were gonna smash the board with the monitor!!
found you thru reviews of cities skylines dlcs, stuck around for the weird odd stuff like this :) you and techmoan have been keeping me sane :)
I think you should spray paint it beige to match the keyboard and monitor but otherwise, gorgeous bit of kit.
Nah woodgrain *ALL* of it
7:16 Umm clint, does the case have a vent on the bottom for the power supply fan there, as if not, I dont think the thing can breath there, and you risk burning it out or premature wearing the crap out of it.
I'd really like to hear what Xenon 2 Megablast sounds like on this.
