I forgot to write the total amount of how much this PC cost, but I think the one who looked carefully managed to calculate the price of this PC when it was relevant😅 Here are the timings with prices: CPU: 0:36 Motherboard: 1:31 RAM: 3:01 CPU cooler: 3:34 Case: 4:41 PSU: 6:55 GPU: 7:55

My first PC was a secondhand PC built in 2004. I bought it in 2007. This kind of PC was my dream back then.

[@guily6669]

My first PC was back in 2004 actually a Pentium IV 3.8ghz and a ATI 9600XT, the GPU cost me even less than 100€ and could play almost everything maxed out back then (probably 1/4th of a month of salary back then which now a good GPU is one full month of salary here something like a RTX4070 while the 4070TI is quite a lot more than a full month of salary😵🖕). But I luckily always had PC to play since I was still kinda a baby cause my father had a Pentium 1 and I remember playing on it with 3 years old and the crap MS-DOS and later a Pentium II...

I got my first PC as a hand-me-down in 2006. Celeron 333MHz, I think 128MB RAM but we later upgraded it to 384MB, NVIDIA Riva TNT, 6GB HDD, Win98 and later WinMe

[@fuzzylumpkins6034]

Back in 2008 my brother had a Sabertooth 990fx mobo, GeForce (remember when that was the shit lol) 8800gt, 8150 be cpu (scandalous), Corsair case, 16gb DDR3 and I drooled over that heap of crap. Watching him play WoW on it with his massive 27 inch flat screen was the greatest thing I had ever seen. To this day that pc sits under my desk just because. He saved for 7 months to build it. I had to sit next to him on his hand me down sempron scorpion pre build pc lol. I have never felt like that again about a pc and I ran it until 2018 after getting it from him in 2014. Of course I grew up and upgraded to real life modern day good kit but no pc has ever made such an impression on me. Watching this made me turn the damn thing on and as soon as windows xp flashed up, it had to go back off. Good times

[@RewtB33R]

Modifying that socket with a dull razor while the pins were unprotected was a bold move. I applaud you.

[@morosmokhtar9532]

man these were great times. I had the 4870 X2. That thing was a BEAST. It would actually heat up my room from use though lol

[@Martelinho40K]

It's just me, or this type of video is just therapeutic to watch.

[@atomvfx]

dude, seeing that gtx 280 gave me good memories, not because id have it when it was launch, but because my big brother bought that when i was like 2 years old, and my first gaming pc that i mounted by myself used that gpu in 2018, and to be honest, it worked well regardless that constant 90 degrees temps

[@heckintech]

Beautiful work! Knowing how much time it takes to set up each and every shot for all the small details you filmed, you put SO much work in to this. :D Great stuff! I would have LOVED to have a pc like this back in the day! 😁

[@OnlyTees69]

man shows u how well Dead space was made. Looks better than most those games you demo'd and ran better and more optimized. Still looks great today in 2k or 4k

[@suiken3149]

I can't believe 280 is beating 6800xt in some D39 games. lol

[@m3gAnac0nda]

It's not really beating it, the CPU can't handle the 6800, bottleneck as indicated by the % utilization. Edit: come to think of it , the CPU also bottlenecks the 280...

[@valentinvas6454]

The 6800 XT was between 5-30% utilization so it wasn't even trying. I don't know what was the resolution but at 1440p the 6800 XT would probably wipe the floor with 280 even with those games in this system.

[@valentinsteam]

@@valentinvas6454 ok but why are you named just like me?

[@MrSamadolfo]

Yes, its normal, optimizations and drivers and stuff. If u want to use a new card u can use an entry level card since utilization will be low. Something like an RX 570 580 6600 GTX 1660 Super or 3050

[@luissuarez8961]

look the usage mate 6800xt is in 20% and 10% in some cases

[@BigTony_Garage]

Watching this video brought back lots of memories of me and my brother hitting the fle markets and getting pc parts for dirt cheap and gaming on a budget. just got you're self a new sub!

[@malcolmmacdonald3597]

The performance of Dead Space is actually very impressive with the GTX 280. It looks like it uses all 4 CPU cores fairly well, too. You could definitely bump up the resolution, as the game requires a 60fps cap in order to avoid physics glitches and you're already getting over 100fps. Dead Space is a game that has aged very gracefully and is so well optimized- despite a few technical issues on PC.

[@kevinhanley6462]

I was surprised the CPU that's not designed for the socket works when you cut into the board in order for it to fit! Many of us will have watched in horror when you cut off the tags on the motherboard, then everything powers up! You could try changing a tower into an RGB with acrylic instead of glass, painting the interior black, then add some lights.

[@krisdzons]

Thats old Xeon mod.

[@tejay9416]

I have a 775 motherboard some of the most fun Ive ever had with a computer. Just trying to get an older Xeon 771 to work on the 775 board was super fun. couldnt find the micro codes I needed in the end but still. Was fun for the time being

Maybe that's why the PC platform wasn't as popular, I'm pretty sure it's for various reasons though, I decided to have the will to switch to PC because the controller hurt my palms on the xbox + hand-fatigue, then I remember a few years ago a school I went to gave me a free chromebook, it was way more comfortable to play on than any other platform, but the gaming experience was not really superb so to speak.

[@rossengeorgiew9589]

The moral of the story: 1. buy modern high end second hand components. I mean from our age. It will give you access to the most modern technology for a fraction of the price and it will also postpone your next upgrade call. 2. Learn how to use the full potential of your computer for other stuff besides gaming. It will keep you away from the consumerism hype that the corporations are putting you in through gaming. + it will develop you further and might finally find a spot where you will really need an upgrade. The sense of satisfaction the then is outstanding. I personally use a Dl380 g6 with 2x X5690, 128gb DDR3, one M2000, one K2200. It is a Solidworks Beast for the cheap,while also holding openproject and nextcloud opened to the internet and done Linux machines

2008 was the year X58 dropped. If I would do a high end 2008 gaming build I would go for a i7 965 and two GTX 285 in SLI. That was the cream of the crop of 2008. It made the Q9650 and X5482 look like a midrange option. And the GTX 285 was 10% faster then the GTX 280
