Gateway was such a great company, I used to maintain that brand at our university. It's unfortunate that all people wanted were cheap emachines and everything just sort of raced to the bottom from there. Seems like Dell and to a lesser extent HP are the only 2 major U.S. companies left

Yes I always saw gateway as solid machines. I think gateway was bought by acer. I'm sure I read somewhere they were relaunching the brand, only on Laptops though. Its a shame everything seems to reduce to one or 2 brands over time. Like amd/nvidea. Probabaly part of the reason why people like retro so much, there was a lot of crazy stuff going on from a lot of companies.

Great video. My first Windows machine was a P5-166 MMX. Same case but arranged vertically (I think the badges and drive cages can be rotated). I bought a P5-133 off eBay a few years ago but the case got destroyed in shipping. I did a lot of work getting the board into a generic case and fabricating an IO shield from the original case metal. Had to use an Overdrive processor because the board couldn’t supply the proper voltage for the newer Pentiums.

Thankyou. I wondered, I saw pics of this kind of case but a tower version, I'll have to try that some time!

Regard your wish for a Socket4 Pentium, couple of weeks ago on eBay a new/boxed Pentium 66Mhz ended bidding on $66, kid you not! They packed them inside a small white box with a chip sticker, nothing fancy. Thank you for the video, a nice and unique looking case.
