For me, this is more fun to watch than a PC 1080ti's and Core i9's. Amazing work. This channel deserves more subs!

[@dialupdavid]

I agree, I hate new hardware. Everyone's so uptight about everything AMD this, Nvidia that. I don't care about the politics, I just want to build awesome stuff and overclock the shit out of it. I've definitely found my home in Vintage PC hardware.

[@saxwastaken]

@@dialupdavid It's literally always been Intel VS AMD and Nvidia/Voodoo/ATI

[@thealien_ali3382]

I have a 1080ti with a i9 and it's awesome

[@saxwastaken]

@@thealien_ali3382 No one is saying it isn't awesome. But it's boring to watch the usual top end Nvidia GPU + top end Intel CPU build #18384468 but with a different case

[@stornyband]

@@saxwastaken What?? For example - i9 9900K is almost ten times better, than AMD 64FX - 55. And its only 14 years... Did you ever see AMD EPYC 7742? imho Monster technology. So, that ist only different case..

[@PixelPipes]

Very nostalgic build for me. This was the era I really got into PC hardware. It was such a distinct time for the obsession around UV lighting and flashy indicators on the front panel. Great selection of hardware as well, very popular for 2003. Only thing missing is an Audigy 2! For a ThermalTake case of the time, this one isn't bad (most were crazy looking). The new plexi definitely helps. Cable management in cases back then was....not fun.

[@RETROHardware]

Yep it was time when I need all that HW but haven't money. Now with money is +/- same ... difference is that I have HW :-) Audigy 2 ZS was in but not working good, still some driver problems. Anyway I got lot of problems to get running WIN XP correct (5x reinstall). This chipset need lot of work and set around than intel.

[@matchmakerchris7617]

+Sinsear IDE cables arent that bad if you use the method of folding them vertically and diagonally. The good art of cablegami. Search for it on KZbin to see a good example.

[@ketankansara3184]

Sinsear same here!

[@isator1380]

I’m 27 and as a child growing up I always wanted these machines. These videos are great! I catch my myself collecting “old” parts just to build me these retro pcs

[@DerMannInDerWand]

literally the same here

[@pahvilaatikko1932]

And same here too!

[@iremiabliss]

Me too

[@jeff15]

I am twice your ages all 3 of you and growing up with this was fun, challenging and headaches finding, buying parts not easy back then. I still have some of my pc builds from back of the day. I have to tell you, it's way better than all these new stuff from today 2021.

[@frankonlinephh]

When I upgrade to the lanparty nforce ultra d with an opteron setup. I sold the parts for top dollar. Guy from UK paid 126 with shipping for the cpu. Nf7s sold for 80. They were in demand.

[@aaron71]

I had the DFI LP NFII back in the day. Came with the carry strap and everything. Great memories!

[@dialupdavid]

Dude, keep up these absolutely awesome videos. You have a channel unlike ANY other. Extreme overclocker + Vintage Hardware = Amazing content. You're the boss!

[@RETROHardware]

Thanks, I'am amateur video maker, anytime for fun :-)

[@Jamy4ya]

AMD Athlon XP was my first pc ever built and had my hands on with an A-open Mobo. Will never forget those days/memories. KUDOS to that build without a doubt ! Keep up the good work mate ..

[@Klavkjir]

Keep watching this over and over. Great hardware, great era! Thanks for sharing your content, Joe!

[@Pillokun]

This takes me back to the good old times. Even the case is superb representation of what pretty much 90% of gamers/enthusiasts used back then. I had a Chiftec version of that case. Love the sliding mobo tray, why cant they do that today I wonder :P You deserve more subscribers as all those enthusiasts/gamers are now soon hitting 40 years old and probably are feeling nostalgic around now.

[@oliverkundrat3544]

Time travel in my youth. Love it.

[@woppy71]

Hehe, love the case, seven 80mm fans! Back in the days when noise wasn't a concern lol!! Thanks for sharing :)

[@bloeckmoep]

@ : Still have my Chieftec Dragon big tower with my kt6delta fisr2 and an ati x850xt pe! Those were the days I swear!

[@aceofhearts573]

Watching these videos are so addicting. I have seen 6 back to back already!

[@Ale.K7]

Nice! A Barton 2500+, EPoX/ABiT/DFI mainboard with nF2 chipset, Radeon 9700 Pro and Sunbeam case with analog meters (I hadn't yet "discovered" Lian Li) was my dream PC back in the day... But all I had was a Socket A Athlon 850MHz :-).

[@ketankansara3184]

Thank you for the trip down memory lane, especially with quake 3 arena and unreal tournament!

[@kylejohnson7156]

Its awesome seeing these parts again, I still have some of them laying around like that case and the silencer cooler. Keep up the work I miss this time in building computers

[@sshawross1281]

I am watching this on a Lanparty SLI590 X2 5200 +. Enjoyed this video.

[@joeygreathouse3029]

I was poor and had budget hardware, so I had my Athlon 1800+ overclocked as far as I could take it, and that was paired with an overclocked 9700 Pro, the one with the iconic tiny hilarious joke of a cooler - all kept cold by a box fan and nearby A/C unit. My friend had the same 9700 Pro and he only had case fans and central heat and air - his card literally cooked itself to death. By the time 1800+/9700 Pro wasn't enough anymore I was on to an AMD 64 3200+/X800 Pro hand me down system from a tech school friend. These days I am a little more refined and use a high quality genuine GE fan from the 1950s, the metal blades move an INCREDIBLE amount of air for such a small space, cooling literally every component in my PC as well as myself - and it takes up little desk room.

[@marianistefanoj]

You are in the heaven with all this retro hardware, I earned from a friend an athlon xp (1250mhz) and saved an AXP 2200/2800+ and Sempron 2800+, but is hard get DDR here, the motherboard is like your Abit NF7 (but S2G variant) Greetings from Brazil and thanks for all this amazing videos .

[@fremenondesand3896]

I really loved my barton core 2500, had it unlocked to 3200, then got my friends FX-55 chip for a steal at £230, which is when I went into socket 939 territory. He had a DFI Lanparty motherboard but the VRM's were blown. I saw him touching it without any static protection.

[@Lowfategg]

Man UV cold cathode tubes were awesome. I had a set in my water cooling build with UV sensitive coolant, looked sweet.

[@ajs2120]

I really miss the days of crazy hardware designs, especially cooling solutions. I know there is some pretty amazing stuff out there now, but this era was definitely a special one. Takes me back to an Athlon XP build I did, wish I still had it now! Spent more on the cooling than any other components!

[@brostenen]

Gives me the CeBIT 2005 vibes... That exhibit was a led-light and colour orgasm, the way I remember it.

[@matthewplehn4271]

I think i might have to quit watching this channel...you always have this beautiful hardware that ive come to realize i cant get here in the States..Nice production and awesome builds!!

[@chicagochris1988]

Man I would love to build a machine from when I got into gaming! Thanks for keeping older ox gaming alive!

[@danthompsett2894]

loving the sound reactive flashing cold cathods

[@Digi20]

I still run a very similar build for retro gaming - XP-M 2600 @2.6Ghz, Abit AN7 with modded bios, R9700 or Geforce 6800Ultra (depending on Games). That machine is in fact a 1:1 rebuild of my then used PC back in the days. Same RAM. Same exact model graphics cards, coolers, etc. It took me forever to hunt all the parts. But its nice to have those memories sitting under desk.

[@mdrumt]

Amazing system, listen to all those 80mm fans!

[@connarcomstock161]

Holy mother of fuck. I had a nearly identical system back in the day. A7N8X-E, Volcano 11+, Corsair XMS DDR 400x2, 9800 XT, Xaser III ( in Silver ), and a Athlon XP 2500-M @ 2.8-ish Ghz. Thing was an animal back in the day. Went with a 64 4200+ with an OC on it in 2005/2006. Miss those days man.

[@netorodrigues9654]

Very good, this is fantastic, congratulations for you. Im Brazilian and i like your Channel. Thanks.

[@solidus1983]

A very nostalgic build for me i had a similar build before moving to AMD Opteron 152 in Socket 939 which happened to be my last Desktop build before moving to laptops. I have even got the same case but in blue.

[@MamaKoalito]

It really is so much fun to build retro hardware, which I could only dream on having back then. I love new hardware too but the old one has just something more to it. Awesome stuff mate! Keep up good work.

[@Peter-hs5qp]

u are amazing, this channel deserves more subs!

[@badnewsbruner]

Hell yes! I still have my very first AMD 2500+ system right here beside me :) Love retro hardware!

[@rustycage82]

That DFI Lanparty reminds me of my youth.

[@TheDeeGeeNL]

I remember using those early Arctic Coolers, so much more quiet. Also had a Xaser case for the longest time.

[@spooksy1982]

Nice! I owned a lot of this hardware back in the day and have been inspired to build a retro pc (from around 2005 though).

[@martinkrafft2978]

The idea is so good, with the lightning

[@aa65064]

My first computer had the Athlon 64 3400+. Havent seen a cold cathode for like 15 years or longer

[@pierregrobbelaar9116]

I had an Abit ns7 and from all the pc's i had it was still the best board i ever used.I had it connected to a 5900(still have the 5900 but she died)If i can revive the 5900 i can maybe make a retro gaming pc as i still have old parts.Btw you put a lot of effort into your retro rig well done.Most of us don't have the patience :D

[@annonimityone1676]

A bit were awesome. I had an A bit kg 7 RAID. It was by far the best motherboard I ever owned.

[@8KilgoreTrout4]

Wonderful video! Love stuff like this

[@3DfxAslinger]

I still have my old mainsys from 2003 with upgrades until 2006. Athlon XP-M 2600+@2,6GHz, 2x 512 MB Winbond BH5, the fastest and best DDR Memory chips, Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe with TRATS 1013 1T Modbios and Gainward Bliss 7800GS 512MB. 🙂

[@RETROHardware]

For OC are best lower freqs or XP-M models + Abit/ASUS boards. I tried OC and this XP3200+ can do 2,37 GHz. This build is not for OC playing, just for fun :-)

[@3DfxAslinger]

Yes, the XP-Ms IQYHA steppings are the best for Socket A. I have some 2500 and 2600 models. My best XP-M is pretested with 2,7Ghz and 1,75V. :) The XP 3200 is the fastest official Socket A CPU for the desktop. :)

[@coffeepot3123]

Pc parts used to have very interesting colors and designs, makes me want to slap a 775 system into my case.

[@alexeykovalev4504]

Прям ностальгия, была когда то и у меня DFI LanParty

[@tonino5113]

Tu ai la collezione di PC Game più bella del mondo you have the most beautiful PC Game collection in the world

[@joaoc_PT]

Had one of those abit nf4 with a AMD Toughberg ? that got me into custom watercooling and a lot of fun. Just got to AIO wc cooling a few months ago.

[@dogs-and-destruction-channel]

You've got "Quake III Areana". That's my favourite childhood game to this day still. Nice party build too👍.

[@AbsoluteSadlad]

Absolutely love it, and love and appreciate what you do on here. Thanks for the awesome content/work that you do

[@Sonic_1000]

The memories. This is my favorite channel!

[@amadeusagripino6862]

This was my dream machine back in 2003/2004. Had to settle for a Athlon XP 2600+ with a Geforce FX5900XT on a crappy A7V8X-X motherboard, because I didn't had enough money.

[@petmey5281]

There was so much competition back then with tons of motherboard manufacturers and tons of aib graphic cards

[@Cooper3312000]

One company I miss DFI the Lanparty series always wanted one never could afford back then.

[@ZoruaZorroark]

i swear pc parts from the late 90's to roughly the late 00's were the most interesting looking i have a case, cpu, ram, gpu, and possibly mobo. all i need is an older cooler that "easily" installs onto an lga mobo, will go with a modern psu, fans (possibly uv reactive), and lights. almost forgot that i have several hdd's laying around i could use along with windows xp, might go with 7 or linux.

[@Burys14]

AMD a ATI je moje :-) Zrovna jsem dnes taky prováděl něčí dream build na AMD. Ta DFI deska s UV citlivými sloty je super.

[@HuntersMoon78]

You have some gorgeous hardware.

[@ThisOLmaan]

this is all old hardware, i still Love it👍🏼i wouldnt mind if they make updated retro look PC's but it wont be same, sounds like a tiny factory 18:06

[@Ares14]

I had a 3200+ with a 9600xt. Was a great build.

[@georgez8859]

Very Nice hardware and build. Thank You for sharing

[@MrPeperoni79]

Awesome build!

[@splat2glitcher]

Wow that cold around the 16min mark, you’ll see him check the temp

[@Mini-z1994]

Yeah a 2005 build would be pretty neat too see as well.

[@Harambe.]

It has been a long time since i last seen 3dmark 2001. Still remember the score of a little over 7000 which i got with an Athlon Xp 2400+, 512mb ddr and a FX5200 128mb. Built that rig in 2004. I kept it, its still functional.

[@georgeshalomon274]

I have similar computer too.. P4 2.4GHz FX5200 128mb and 512MB ram

[@benrogersdevon]

I've had over 18k on 3dmark01 from a GeForce4 Ti4200 which I overclocked and this was a socket a (462) based system with an Athlon XP1700+ DLT3C T'bred B 1446MHz overclocked to 2400MHz or so.

[@CamaroWarrior]

All my Radeon cards in order were the ATI AIW(all in wonder) 7000 64MB, 9600 SE 128MB, 9800 Pro 128MB, x850xt 256MB, x1950xtx 512MB, and still my current card in 2019 a 3GB 7970 Ghz edition

[@frankhu130]

I know exactly how this build can run, used to rock a Barton 2600+ and GF 6600GT, good old days

[@arielfveiga]

this channel is awsome, compliments from Brazil! Keep this nice work, its so amazing see this builds that makes part of my teenager. Only concern, do you have an 9800xt 256mb? I think that the only missing part for the ultimate AMD Build of this era. Have a great new year!

[@RETROHardware]

Yes 9800XT was like upgrade in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqXKpIWAg9BpmtU

[@philipcooper8297]

What a blast from the past.

[@alexanderschulpenhorst9956]

I used that CPU in a Custom Shuttle XPC with a Single Slot XFX 512MB 7800GS. Only the Intel P4 3,2GHz with HT was faster. Still got a Windows XP PC with that Intel CPU and that 7800GS and 4x 1GB PC3200 RAM on a FOXCON mobo. It's perfect for BF2 or C&C -.^ BTW, that DFI LanParty nF2 ULTRA mobo was the hottest shit at that time. Man, those days should have never ended.

[@Ajrocket]

Tak tenhle PC bomba. Like.

[@petmey5281]

I had the Barton 2500+ which was a laptop part and overclocked it to 2.2ghz or 3200+, wish Abit was still around and Epox

[@Levy_Wilson]

Could you made an in-depth tutorial on how to hook up and use cathode tubes? I think they're a neat lighting method, but I haven't found much info online about how they were used in PC building. Everything is just LEDs now.

[@RetroBerner]

Dope, do a s939 DFI LanParty NF4/Opteron build and OC the snot out of it :D

[@benrogers84]

I achieved WR on air overclock for an a64 3500+ Venice 2.2ghz @ 3280mhz with a £3.50 heatsink/fan on a 939 lanparty nforce 4

[@azwris]

Unreal Tournament! I used to have this processor and I was playing mostly that particular game. Nice built with lots of nice after market accessories, although it's quite..noisy.

[@GTFour]

My 1.2ghz Athlon Thunderbird ran so hot it crashed and that zalman copper cooler was the rectification lol. So long ago.

My first pc was a IBM Netvista 6269, with windows 98!!

[@skivvywaver]

I had this build with 2 gigabyte of OCZ Platinum. My motherboard was a Gigabyte. Forget the model. It's long gone. I still have the ram. lol The 9800 Pro might still be at my sister's house. She got it after I was done with it. I got an X800XT and was king for a day.

[@Rentta]

Similar setup to my first pc that i bought with own money when i was teenager. My cpu was slower (2800+) but i had full custom loop so oc helped a lot :P

[@playingwithtrainerspcmt6407]

I remember wanting a 9800 Pro in that case. I wanted that case

[@ZhuleCRO.OldGames]

Greeting from Croatia :)

[@asmralon6445]

Amzing work keep it up

[@danielgeno6624]

Great case, thats the case i wanted back in 2003 or 2002 i cant remember. But it was sold out and i could only get the black Xaser II model. Now i have a thermaltake xaserIII lanfire, which is smaller and very light made of aluminum

[@RETROHardware]

They made lot of versions/colours. This black is full metal case - very heavy. I also have Xaser III silver from aluminium like yours.

[@10WA]

That old side panel would have cleaned up like new with some headlight polish. Very nice old build.

[@davidpasgoliath2673]

omg a barton build!!!!!! the top cpu was ( in my memory) the 2500+ wich could be found in a barton core variant ( and easily overclocked to 3200+ !)

[@ScarletPanda280]

I know this is an older video but I felt computers back then were much more fun to build because they were so creative. I do love minimalism ofcourse but the building aspect is just eh.. I still love playing with older tech because you can do so much. Ofcourse you can with a newer pc but older hardware was so colorful and different.

[@CharlieShu86]

For me it is awesome :D In "polish" words : piździec :D Greetings from Poland :)

[@i-channelmix589]

Im cry to see that, because its very very nostalgic,,..😢😢😢

[@annonimityone1676]

I'd love to see an ultimate slot 1 and slot A. I have fond memories of them both. Especially the gigabyte 440 bx board.

[@li0ngr33n]

Oh my God......I missed that :( in 2003 I mount for the first time a PC.....I upgrade from a Pentium II @ 350MHz :P......I think it was a AMD Barton 2800+ and a Abit NF7-S nForce 2 motherboard, 2GB DDR500 Ram and a Radeon 9600XT....You have a subscriver here :D

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

How fortuitous that i found this after finding one of those very same 400fsb 3200+ cpus i managed to scavenge out of an oem machine that couldn't even run it full speed. This gives me some ideas to pursue.

[@benrogersdevon]

Very good video mate! Do you know if there are Samsung tccd chips on the twister memory btw? Tccd ran cool and could clock to similar speeds as Winbond bh-5 & bh-6.

[@Eggwhites94]
