The removable motherboard tray is such a good idea, why was it abandoned? Not only is it convenient, but it also gives you a test bench to make sure everything works without having to install it all into an awkward to fit case and then uninstall everything again to fix it. Perhaps the modern day coolers just make this kind of design unergenomical.

[@ColdestLivewire]

cost, some higher end cases do have a removable MB tray

[@700gsteak]

Probably because without the motherboard tray the case is flimsy and flexes a lot. Most cases nowadays are made out of thin aluminium sheets while back then cases were much more rigid and robust, made out of 1.5mm+ thick steel.

[@ThePuuFa]

Man, this sure brings back some memories! You might not want to connect your relatively “fast” 7200RPM HDD into the same IDE-channel with your optical drive though. Most optical drives of that era only support up to UDMA-33 transfers while your HDD and motherboard support up to UDMA-100. The entire IDE-channel transfer speed is determined by the slowest device in the channel so your 7200RPM drive now gets a very noticeable performance hit. This was a very common mistake back in the day so some motherboard manufacturers started to clearly label their bundled IDE-cables as “CD-ROM” for the UDMA-33 cable and “HDD” for the UDMA-100 cable. The recommended way to connect your drives was HDDs in the primary IDE-channel using UDMA-100 cable and optical drives in the secondary IDE-channel using either UDMA-33 or UDMA-100 cable which ever happened to be at hand. You could also leave the jumpers at the default CS (Cable Select) setting if you’re not building any unusual configurations. In this setting the drive at the end of the IDE-cable will be considered as master and the one connected in the middle connector will be considered as slave, regardless of how many drives you are connecting. I seem to recall some benchmarks actually showing a slight increase in disk performance using the CS setting but don’t quote me on this. It’s been a long time. Some ideas for improvement; If you would like to have a large HDD storage in a period correct way (for Tualatin era) you could try to find an old PCI IDE RAID card and 4 (or more) period correct 60-80GB drives. I remember some people did this back in the day and it was darn impressive! Oh did I wish I could afford it myself. For the ultimate Tualatin experience you could try to find the legendary Asus TUSL2-C motherboard and unleash the beast by some overclocking goodness! For the maximum fun factor you might need to look for some highly overclock-able RAM too especially if you’re overclocking a Pentium3 that runs 133MHz FSB at stock. Back in 2002 I built a cheap Tualatin gaming rig from used parts and even though it wasn’t the cutting edge technology anymore it was still insanely powerful! I had a Tualatin based Celeron “Tualeron” overclocked somewhere around 1.7GHz with a huge aftermarket HSF. My Radeon 8500 64MB DDR graphics card had an AMD K6-2 CPU cooler bolted on the GPU and HUGE memory heatsinks cut out from an old Pentium2 passive heatsink! And of course it was volt-modded and overclocked to the absolute max. I even had a similar full-size ATX case like the one in the video with 4 powerful Papst case fans but it wasn’t too loud because I effectively sound-insulated the entire case with materials bought from the local car parts store. This rig used to run in circles around the early top-of-the-line Pentium4 Northwoods of the day that were outrageously more expensive than the old Pentium3 based Celeron! Had I built this system a year earlier from brand new parts it would’ve been even more phenomenal. It was my main computer till September 2005. It even used to run Half-Life 2 quite nicely with decent quality settings. Don’t expect to see that happening with the Voodoo5 though. On the other hand it might be fun to try :) Sometimes I still feel the urge to build a new Tualatin rig and do it even better than the first time. Just for the sake of nostalgia…I think building a PC used to be more fun and interesting those days; so much more challenging and rewarding than now. By the way you could always go for a period correct PSU and simply recap it if the caps have gone bad. Seeing how you did the Voodoo card it should be a piece of cake for you. IMHO it would add greatly to the nostalgia factor keeping it as period correct as practically possible; the loud fan noises, the HDD grinding and all, would be like a time machine for every sense :)

I was surprised he even bothered to put in the 5¼ floppy. I remember it being completely obsolete by '98.

[@CarthagoMike]

@@bonnywarrior I believe the first two games he tested required the 5¼ bay. But yes, even back in '97 and '98 it was considered mainly obsolete, save for a few older applications.

[@HylerMusic]

Well from what I recall, 5 1/4” were “floppy discs” and 3 1/2” were “micro discs” but because everyone had been used to calling squares or memory discs encased in plastic “floppy discs” they just kept calling them “floppy” until even the manufacturers begin to call them “3 1/2” floppy discs” even though there was obviously nothing floppy about them save for the film the memory writes to.

[@benhasel4540]

This was so beautiful. So many good memories and honestly i’ve never seen a top full maximum setup for that kind of pc, in those times were pretty much a rare thing to see specially the “gaming” setup

This video shows how far pc have come in the last 20 year and how the new age of gamer such as myself should appreciate the hardware we have today. I’m glad I found this video great video man

[@robertsommerseth3063]

people are way too spoiled these days

[@potatolol4579]

A part of me has died seeing all that new stuff from 20 years ago being opened.

[@nocilol3000]

Why would that make you sad? All those untouched parts finally getting used after 20 years instead of rotting away in storage or a landfill. Wonderful. Makes me want to dig out some of my old components and do this myself.

[@potatolol4579]

@@nocilol3000 Preservation, the more of the items that are opened, the less common it is to find new components, items that are 20 years old that aren't being sold anymore aren't that common anymore, so it's why I feel kinda sad seeing precious brand new tech being used where today's technology puts this stuff to shame and it's seen as a relic.

[@zombee38]

@@potatolol4579 but he put every part to good use and built an old - new beige tower that should last for a very long time!

[@Mr.Badree]

Same

[@CarthagoMike]

Normally I would also cringe at someone opening something that has been sealed (and thus well-preserved) for so long. However, unlike all those people out there who do it just for the "unboxing" experience, this guy actually gave these components the life they have never had. And thus, unlike with most other video's, I do not mind him unboxing these relics.

[@Lawd_Kolya]

Epic video generally, and I LOL'ed when I saw the Aoe2 box at 10:17 knowing I play that game still :D

[@joukovilander]

I watched this in 144p just for the effect

[@AxzoYT]

Back then the standard was 480p boio

[@faizanafzal4777]

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaaa!!! I hope the effect was more than u were expecting ;-)

[@AxzoYT]

ahhahahah xd

[@badassgenevideos]

Awesomeness Plays for pc at that time? 480p is low res. Common is 1024x768 at 100hz. And if I remember correctly, year 2000 I was using 24" 1200p crt monitor. And that's the reason why most gamer back then were very late to adopt LCD screen. LCD were Low res and low fps.

[@AxzoYT]

well, i mean still MOST were using CRT's until like maybe(?) windows 7. But yeah now the standard is 720 or 768 or mostly 1080/1440

Very nostalgic, I remember building computers pretty much like this one. Just one observation, as far as I remember, back in 97/98 5.25” floppy disks/drives weren’t really being used anymore. I remember using a ZIP Drive in this “era” (had one with parallel interface, I think I still have it somewhere in the house), just before CD-R and RW completely killed ZIP Drives. At least here in Brazil (and we were a few steps behind the US due to high prices of hardware). Anyway, very good video, I collect some things and hardware IS not one of them, but I appreciate things from the past so well taken care!

[@TechTangents]

If you have any questions about this build ask away! I will be doing a QA follow up video for this project.

[@MCrex007]

Not exactly a question about the build, but was the music at 9:06 actually coming from the window that popped up, or added in afterwards? And regardless, do you know if there is any way to find that song and listen to it?

[@sevenfortyfour]

This sounds like it would be a fun machine to stick a spare drive into and run some old malware. Though with that Intel chipset I might be wary of trying CIH...

[@Redspl]

Mc Rex: u.lewd.se/kY4Kkt_welcom98.wav AkBKukU: Where did you find this awesome case? Just like you, I love those full tower cases, but in my entire life, I've seen maybe two of them IRL :

[@TechTangents]

@MC Rex That's question would be out of place in the Q&A so I'll answer it here. That is the music for the welcome screen. I never actually had the speakers hooked up in the video. I recorded the audio directly through my mixer to get it and the mics as one source. I suppose you could listen to it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3_NpXdoi9OHm7s because I used the track as the music for the trailer for this video. I'm not sure if there is a longer version.

[@OmegaEnvych]

It's not a question, but I had this nice feeling when New CRT monitor was unpacked. And when whole machine started working it was huge "Aaaawwww!" for me, Yeah, I'm a sucker for these old computers. Brings me the memories of playing some games at my dad's work when he was on the overnight shift and I went there at the evening to play some games on that office machine. And when later I got my own computer. But that was when I was in a high school in 2002 already - way past this era.

[@GiulianoMazzina]

Oh my, this video brings so much back to memory. I was a teen ager in the late 90s and 100% of what was in this video is what drew me into computers back then.

[@Kamachnikov]

[@VoidHalo]

And here I had to use my older brother's stash of Hustler and Playboy with the pages all stuck together which he in turn stole from my Dad. I still remember the issue of Playboy with Laytoyah Jackson on the cover. But these were the days before computer porn was a common thing. I had to make due with that, or with the porn on Pay Per View cuz we had one of those cable boxes that gave you all the channels. Or if that wasn't available, I just had to make due with scrambled porn on the other TV without a box. Or movies with sexy scenes, like that scene in Ghostbusters 2 when the bath tub tries to eat Sigourney Weaver and she's in her bra. Man my standards were low back then.
