Man I really miss the DFI Lan Party aesthetic, just like a dark motherboard with neon accents. Nice retro build

I just love how absolutley overkill everything about this guy's builds are. Its fantastic. One of my new favtorite channels to watch recently.

[@Stermy57HW]

Awesome build. I was 10 years old but I remember back during 462 or 478 era that acrylic case are the most interesting one. Everyone looking forward to buying one. In my opinion this was there the most existing hardware era. There were lot of brands with different layout like aOpen, Epox, Chaintech, Tiplex, Suma, Abit, Hercules, Pixelview... now all looks the same. Black or grey colors with horrible RGB Led.

[@falsebroadcast]

Let’s make that style come back with the cool light lettering and everything

Wow. This build is actually more glamorous than RGB.

Oh man, I miss these days, when UV reactive everything was all the rage and cold cathode ruled the PC modding communities. Good times...

[@devicemodder]

in my opinion, the best time for PC modding...

[@amehu]

Nostalgia to the roof! Quality hardware for that era OMG could never afford it back then

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

This particular build spoke to me. It was absolutely a dream to have had a full uv setup like this back then. Even if i have no room for it at this time, i would have loved to own a setup like that.

[@StevenJPiper]

I wished I'd started collecting hardware years ago... some of the stuff you have is just, next level, never seen some of that stuff before

[@slckb0y65]

it's such a 90's party PC i'm surrprised it didn't boot by playing The Macarena

[@MacHineJXD]

That CPU fan really looks helpful on stats

[@Sneckit]

This might be one of the coolest retro builds ive seen on youtube. Massive kudos!

[@DrNekrosis]

It's when I see builds like these that I know I'm old lmao... Thank you for the nice memories.

[@Geekzmo]

Great build! You have the skill to transport me back in time with the hardware you have. I am AMAZED about the excellent condition in witch you find most of the old hardware. Hugs from Colombia

[@theshadowman1398]

I now desperately want that DDR ram. It’s so wicked.

[@Soooperspeed]

i had that case and that psu ... the psu went bang a long time ago .. i still have the case but over the years of use with uv it yellowed really badly so lives in the shed lol .. great video brought back memories

[@addmd_]

I know the location of a case with a functioning psu. I haven't asked for the price, but im sure it would be pretty steep considering this case was top of the line in its days.

[@nicolaspomies7944]

what's the name of the case? I need one like that for a project

@@nicolaspomies7944 Akasa Crystal Clear MIDI tower case it was .. you had too build it yourself from a flat pack old school now tho .. sometimes a copy of this case comes up on ali express from time too time .

[@danthompsett2894]

went to town with those cold cathords, that motherboard looked brand new and what a package with all those extra accesories. i remmember those uv reactive cases, came flat packed with brass fittings, mine only had the one fan mount on the side panel, i remmeber scorpion fan grills and uv reactive acrylic lady fan grills that had a little light in the corner, that the wire kept breaking off, crazy neon phydillac days lol

[@critical_unknown]

Man this brings back fond memories of a bygone era. Thank you for keeping it alive. 👍

[@kaczan3]

The awsomness level of your builds is over 9000!

[@albertorobinson7611]

I love the fans, outrageous Barbi keyboard, and both graphics cards

[@asmongoldsmouth9839]

We all had one of these cases back in 2002. LoL!! Mine had cold-cathode UV lighting. I had the nVidia Ti 4200 128MB AGP 4x at the time and I installed the ONLY after market cooler kit with copper heatsink on the ramdacs, and a blue LED-lit ORB copper gpu heatsink and fan. I overxlocked the piss out of that card and it took it all. I was desteoying the 4600 SE cards in benchmarks. The 4200 overclocked the best of all in the series. I was also rocking my AMD Athlon XP Barton 3200+ as well. Kickass build. I was rocking games maxed out and flawless framerates on my 22" flat screen CRT @ 1600x1200 @ 85Hz on DVi. What a monster!!

[@Ale.K7]

Ah... I remember when computer hardware stores used to have an acrylic case on exhibition... I still have an UV reactive fan with (near) UV LEDs :).

[@grabivalenga]

I used a case like this until 2 years ago. I loved him. Good video. Greetings from Brazil.

[@cmarting83]

Great build, brought back cool memories from my first custom build. I also ran UV CCFL's with reactive accents and green sound sensitive tubes as my lighting setup. You should look for UV PCI slot covers to further enhance the theme and additionally Sunbeam made a 3.5" bay mounted sound sensitive CCFL controller that would fit this build perfectly

[@mxthunder2]

I love this build so much. probably my favorite video on your channel.

[@tacoin]

This RAM and CPU fan design is amazing even today

[@saturnoutrun]

[@TheJuggtron]

I don't think any thing could scream "YEAHHHH BOIIII" any louder... The 80mm fans are the touch that makes it next level though XDDDD

[@Platomenti]

It's always fascinating to see this era of pc build, unlike most people in retro pc group who mostly having their first PC/PC Gaming experience/introduction are way back to 90's era. My first experience and also introduction to PC and PC Gaming world was this era (2004-2005s). So every time I see this kind of build (Pentium 478, Radeon 9000 series or Geforce 5000/6000 series), just bring back memories. Great video as always. Cheers!

[@iamsuperbleeder]

Same! I rocked a 478 P4 3.0 and a 6800 and 2gb of DDR for YEARS and thought it was the beez-neez.

[@Bassjunkie_1]

So much classic hardware! Love it m8. Had that case, ram and many versions of DFI.. Tho i do still own the 4 sticks of that CMX led ram.

[@Greg1096]

Man i had completely forgotten about DFI they were awesome back in the day, wonder what ever happened to them, those acrylic cases were scratch magnets, surprised you were able to find one in that good of condition. Great biuld man!

Nice computer build and system. Great job again. I love your videos and content. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

[@benrogersdevon]

Great video mate! I I had two DFI Lanparty boards; nforce2 & a socket 939 based. I also had a p4 2.8c ht which clocked to around 3.7GHz stable, but required additional voltage and wouldn’t hit 4GHz, but I was using a poor, cheap hsf & it would get to over 70c without even being under full load. I had an epox 8rda 2 and an abit nf7-s 2.0 and an ecs k7s5a as well as a pc chips m810lmr 7.1. Last two socket a - 462 boards I mentioned were purely for a laugh and to help others out with all of their very odd issues ; especially the m810lmr lol

[@wowitsshit9734]

really nice! back then I had an overclocked amd barton mobile 2200+ and also my 6600 GT 128MB, this was the budget option as I remember it for me! It served me well as I remained on winXP 32-bit for the longest time! I was quite proud of my (AXMH2200FQQ3C) as I had overclock stable to 2.4ghz and I remember overclocking my gcard also using nvidia software for overclock, i remember tuning it until i saw artifacts in 3dmark (the one where trolls fall off ledges at the end of the bench). It was my main computer until 2010! I only upgrade because some games started to demand SSE2!

[@racionator2668]

Dude that case i wonna have that for my current PC that looks sick

i love it exatly this case i ownd in aorund 2003 its glowing really nice like a crismas tree but its a nightmere to clean

I'd be around elementary school when these parts were out and honestly, itnmakes me wish I was either way more computer savvy to know about the existence of stuff like this or born about five years earlier to know about this stuff and knowing what I missed over the years before we got all the tempered glass cases and RGB fans and motherboards.

One day fell off my desk and break into pieces ;) anyway this cases arn't good quality, I bought it becasue I was cleas so I wanted to have my new unique setup. Thanks for sharing !

[@mvShooting]

I had that one as well! It got cracked after an earthquake we had in our country in 2010 (like 5 months after buying it). I wasn't at home, so I couldn't save it :(
