Windows 98 20th Anniversary All New PC Build

Building an all new computer from 20 year old parts for the Windows 98 20th Anniversary.
Here are the specs of The New Windows 98 PC:
OS: Windows 98 Second Edition
CPU: 1GHz Tualatin Pentium III
GPU: Voodoo 5 5500 64MB
RAM: 512MB 133MHz SDRAM
HDD: Western Digital 120GB 7200RPM EIDE
PSU: EVGA 450BT 450W
MOBO: Intel D815EEA2U(after using it, I don't recommend this board)
CDD: Memorex 8xDVD+RW/+R 10xCD
FDD3.5: Teac FD-235
FDD5.25: Teac FD-55
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster Live! 5.1
Case: Inwin Q500N (3rd revision I believe)
Monitor: Hyundai ImageQuest V770+
Keyboard: Microsoft Natural Keyboard
Joystick: Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2
Gamepad: Microsoft Sidewinder game pad
Mouse: Microsoft Cordless Wheelmouse
This was a wild ride of a video. The Voodoo 5 being DOA was alarming and nearly derailed the whole project...twice. The Motherboard doesn't seem to support two floppy drives as well. I never had both drives working in it. I still need to do some more testing to figure out if I can put a different BIOS on it to support that properly. I also wanted to show POD running instead of NFS but it has some problems running, especially in Glide mode with the Voodoo5. And another problem was that I couldn't get the gameport on the sound card to work. I need to try using the VXD drivers still to see if that makes a difference.
All those problems aside this computer is really great. I was pushing its backwards compatibility a bit far with MS Flight Sim(only about the top half of the screen is meant to be shown) but a Win98 build like this is great for old games. Sure, you could buy most of these on GOG or use the original disks/discs in a VM. But those make for a pale imitation of the real deal. The struggle is part of the fun, although maybe not recapping a Voodoo 5 level of struggle.
This is going to be the start of a series of videos that will showcase different aspects of building an running an old computer like this. The upcoming videos about the parts I chose will help explain why they are the ones I went with and how well they work. This video was meant to be a cathartic romp of 90's PC nostalgia. There will be a lot more in depth content from this later.

Fantastic video. It brought so many memories to me. What a beautiful time we had with this PC. Thank you!

[@boblenz434]

Great video! Thanks for sharing! It brought back a lot of memories from that time period. I worked a lot with Intel boards a lot during that time because they were quite stable and reliable for the corporate world. It was fun to see one being built again. I agree that the Inwin Q500 was an amazing case! I think I had 2 or 3 of them at different times. Still have one in storage. I'm surprised that you put the CD drive and the hard drive on the same ribbon. PATA can only run as fast as the slowest device. Most CDs were usually capped at ATA/33 while the newer hard drives could go as high as ATA/133. This motherboard was capped out at ATA/100, but with that 80 conductor ribbon, you could definitely get more performance out of it with the CD drive on the secondary IDE interface.

[@classicmail8239]

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.

Oh that CD ROM reading sound... Feeling nostalgic... ♥️

[@joshuagillette561]

I would like to see more performance metrics. Love old goodies!!! Thanks for the vid.

[@CamiloL38]

This video is really so satisfying. Thank you.

[@ricardoalcantara5846]

This is gorgeous, really nostalgic. And the sound of the CD starting running, wow, this is my childhood.

1993 was a pretty awesome year for pc-gaming. Sim City 2000, Doom, Myst, X-Wing, Syndicate, Rebel Assault... the list goes on.

[@SigmaMastersOfMind]

Hey guys, I've been searching for a game for a while now. Around the 2000-2005 years. It was a shooter, with like demons or zombies but some of them had wings. And I remeber when you entered the map it was like a mental assylum and it was a stone bridge in front of you to reach the assylum, can someone help me to find this game? it was a little bit gore from what I remember

This video just took me back to my childhood. I grew up building computers with my Dad, I was very young but learned a lot. I played a lot of games kids my age didn’t get to play. Seeing this video takes me back to the good old days when all I had were my video games and nothing to worry about. Awesome video my man you made my day.

[@idemchenko-js]

thank you for keeping that boot sound and the start up song!

[@MatiasSanchezOrdonez]

Is is very sentimental to see all these parts... thank you very much from Argentina!!!!

[@Lestercortez128]

I love it all! ❤❤❤The new parts, new Windows 98 install, fun games. I keep my old white Windows Vista iMac from 2007 just for playing old games

[@Nasahatapimapetilan]

08:04 theese bootup sounds bring back memories!

[@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

[@davem45]

You have brought back so many memories for me!

[@Zhaleon0818]

Oooooh that powering and booting sound.... Very nostalgic!

[@HolloVVpoint]

Man really takes me back. We had a windows 98 computer, but it was in the living room, as back then computers were hella expensive and it was unheard of to have your on PC let alone a laptop! Dial up connection, Yahoo chat rooms, command and conquer and the original 97/98 championship manager and age of empires. What a trip down memory lane.

[@DarthSinistris]

Goddamn, I teared up a bit.

[@NTL1991]

Ahh, computer in the living room... Getting booted off AOL because someone picked up the phone in another room... Purposely downloading BonziBuddy, before anyone knew what spyware was... CueCat barcode scanner... Tons of memories here

[@JUSXTREME96]

Nicholas Lester My experiences being 5 yrs old. 2001-2002 lol. Except the bar code scanner lol.

[@VoidReplicant]

My life back then! Mirc chat rooms to!

[@PortalBreaker.]

Watching StarCraft being played on an actual old looking computer brings back so many memories..

[@RiyazAliKhanMayana]

That disk spinning, boot, welcome and beep sound... Something deep relax in the subconscious mind.. 😁💆🧘‍♂️

[@bradleybrand0]

You're living the dream, even fixing broken capitators - couldn't ever imagine doing that!
