Windows XP 20th Anniversary All New PC Build

Hello, my friends! Let's hit 30K likes? Check out my website! enderman.ch
Windows XP 20th anniversary is here. So I created an old new PC build of that time period. It was an exceptional experience to craft that thing, I'd call it a once in a lifetime opportunity.
It's amazing how nice it turned out! The computer is not perfect, there are still some petty issues present, for instance, the audio wires not reaching, or the PC speaker lacking. By the way, the power LED died in the middle of the video - it's an easy fix, though.
Overall, I'm incredibly satisfied with the project - there were mostly no hardships. I hope it brought back all the good memories and nostalgia. You can't turn the clock back, but you can always repeat what you've done in the past.
Happy 20th birthday, Windows XP! Thank you for your immense contribution to our today's OS quality standards.

It was a family computer and I loved it, everything was seamless printer, games, PowerPoint, documents literally everything. Looking at this video gave me a sense of nostalgia. you, Michael MJD and tech tangents are the best. thank you guys, for the archives and sacrifices y'all made for these videos. Love it

[@vishnumenon6541]

This is a trip down memory lane. I clearly remember the older Windows 2000 machine i had at the time had gone kaput (this was back in 2006). The build was replaced with was a Windows XP one. It too had a Pentium 4, but no graphics card and 512 mb RAM (later upgraded to 1 or 2 gigs iirc). That machine and Windows XP made me the tech-enthusisast i am now. Also some of the parts from this period last really long if well taken care of. The newer ones seem to be more fragile, ironically.

Я такую ностальгию сейчас словила. Прям аж на слезу в какой-то степени пробивает. По части из-за того, что тогда я была мелким беззаботным ребенком, который бежал со школы домой и садился за компьютер... Спасибо за такое возвращение в детство) А сама сборка выглядит очень солидно и красиво, имхо, даже красивее нынешних ргб сборок... И кстати, неужели 4 Пентиум реально поддерживает блин 11 винду?? И ненужный факт: у меня крч моё нынешнее железо стоит в системнике из 2005 года, и там до сих пор у меня остались флоппи и двд приводы, хотя мне их даже присоединять некуда, ахаха Надеюсь, что комменты на русском тут не осуждаются

[@cptcrogge]

Well done! I remember the time when I actually bought similiar parts like 20 years ago x.x The Radeon 9550 is a little slow for newer games like Half Life 2, the Radeon 9600 Pro had more juice and came as a 256MB version as well. I recommend a Sound Blaster for proper audio in DOS games, any cheap card will do because they are all able to emulate a SB16. Consider using a PATA (IDE) SSD, it might be not immersive but it will be much faster and more reliable than those HDDs.

[@pessoaanonima6345]

Use a sata ssd if you decide to use ssds and if the motherboard supports, pata are rarer and slower

[@gdyairifx]

Andrew said that it will not be gaming, just nostalgia

[@cptcrogge]

@@pessoaanonima6345 Old boards don't have any SATA ports, SATA (in IDE mode) is of course the best option for SSDs if you want to run an old OS like Win98.

[@amirpourghoureiyan1637]

Windows cut the DOS features in XP, latest DOSbox builds still support XP and 9x and will be easier to get sound working. As for an SSD, it's not advisable considering there's no trim support - few SSDs have provisions for this but they're out there (Samsung comes to mind, works with a bridge adapter), an SSHD gets around this as the flash is just for caching and ends up being a lot cheaper per GB.

​@@procta2343 I actually used dialup from 1999 to 2008! Bit of a late convert to broadband, but was using XP until about 2006/07.

We had a WinXP desktop sitting just below the stairs. Cousins older than me used to use it quite often (most likely for research and printing) before the younger ones like us could touch it. Was probably bought around 2003 or something, I don't know. Man, the memories I had just browsing through Encarta and thoroughly enjoying the instruments section thing (you can click on them and sound clips of the instruments will play iirc), playing probably a pirated PC port of Super Mario Bros (that you need to close via keyboard shortcuts because that thing's in full screen and won't even budge) and playing an obsolete Winnie the Pooh coloring game for hours just rush back whenever I stumble across WinXP related stuff. That computer was given away to the neighbors quite some time ago, but as of late it isn't working anymore. Thank you for the nostalgia Enderman, truly made my day.
