you made me feel like a child again, I was happy and carefree

[viper]

This reminded me of the time when all I had was a pentium 133, and I dreamed of having one of those mmx. I played games like wolf3D, Doom2, mortal kombat 1, Jazz jack rabbit, dune 2, grand prix and others on it. And my father used to play F19. 😄

[songsan]

Thanks for the nice relaxing video. Like stepping back in time again. Had experience with all the exact parts you used with the same sound card, video, network, motherboard and even the case. Had that tower for a while and finally got rid of it in early 2000s because didn't have room for it anymore. Such a great golden time.

This takes me back. My Dad & I sat and picked out a Dell XPS D333 one time, and ordered it. Spring of 98 I believe, 333 P2, 128mb Ram, 16.8 GB Hard drive. Quantum Bigfoot I believe. 56k modem, Riva128, TB Montego sound, DVD Drive, Zip Drive, Altec AC 97? 2.1 Speakers, 19" Dell Trinitron Monitor. It was TITS at the time. I think Dad spent around 3500 for it back then. Not even 6m later, the P2 350/400 came out and introdcued the 100Mhz FSB. Around 2 yrs after we got it, it was mid pack at best. Crazy how fast things moved back then. 4 years later I built my first PC with an Athlon XP 1800. 333Mhz to 1.8 (1.5) GHz in 4 years lol. Dad still had the PC up until about 2 or 3 yrs ago. It still worked great for what it was.

This is close to the first PC I've ever assembled on my own. I was able to get a Matrox card with the expansion to play diablo 2 lod. I did dual boot dos/win98. Just no 120mb fd, scsi, or ring-token network.

[almarketing]

Wow... I just watched the entire video and was worth every second. Clean editing, Cool music, and No comments. You deserved my sub and like!❤️

[Patrick_n]

My first job as a kid I saved up to buy a voodoo 3dfx card for my pentium 2. Was so cool upgrading from previous windows 3.1 486 IBM.

[ane_]

I remember that I had MMX 200, with Voodoo 3dfx and AWE64... what a beast that was.... I'm so sorry that I gave it away at that time... :(

[MotownBatman]

Well Done Sir!
Our 3rd computer was finally a 233MMX, but didn't had a descent video card to play anything cool lol
New Sub: Dryden, Mich.

[ruiaz]

I miss it, I had this Pentium 233 MMX and then I upgraded to Pentium 2 300Mhz. Good memory.

[COIFISHGAMING]

Great build! Alot of effort here with the camera angles and sliders! 360 views are great. The music does take away from it a bit, perhaps reupload this one with no music or a much less loud track on loop as ambiance. I bet the YT algo will reward you!

[Seepers]

ah yes. the memories back to when i wanted a kickass computer to play everything at highest settings, but could never afford it or knew how to build pc. now i have built a kickass pc that runs everything in maximum settings 200 fps, just to emulate duke nukem, doom, diablo, heroes 2-3

[Kyle-tb]

Brilliant video, so well done, thank you

[neongenesis]

You put the heatsink on backwards. The notch in the aluminum is suppose to sit over the socket name. Although I feel that's more or less for Socket 462 motherboards because of their exposed on-chip die.

[vuankhanhbeo]

That keyboard ASME would be a nice experience

1998 yılın haziran ayında Türkiye Ankara da bir arkadaşım 1000 dolar verip pentium mmx 233 cpu, 32 mb ram, 4 mb ekran kartı, 14" ekran ve radyo kartı olan bir bilgisayar almıştı. Ona bilgisayarın yanında street fighter zero 2, fifa 98, quake 2, nf3 gibi cd ler vermişlerdi. Çocuğa sürekli bizi evine davet etmesi için rica ederdik, çok büyüleyici bir şeydi o zamanlar bir bilgisayar sahibi olabilmek ve benim o sene mobilyacıda haftalık 15 dolara çalışarak 50 dolara aldığım sega mega drive atarim vardı. Yaklaşık 10 ay kadar sonra babam bana 800 mark paraya 2. el bilgisayar aldı 486 dx-4 100 mhz işlemci, 4 mb ram 640 mb hard diski olan bir bilgisayardı. Ben o bilgisayar sayesinde bu gün 25 yıldır yaptığım mesleğime ilk adımı attım. Önce o bilgisayarı pentium 75 mhz ye sonra mmx 200 mhz ye yükselterek ilk tecrübelerimi kazandım. Bu gün meslek sayesinde ev iş yerleri arabalar vs. aldım. Mesleğime aşık biriyim ve o ilk günlerin tadı damağımda bu gün bile o günlerin ilklerin tadını aradığım için bu videoyu izliyorum.

[robloxian]

Nice, i recently made a retro build like this with same cpu too

[atlante]

Was expecting that Voodoo 2 graphics card for peak performance!

[maxtornogood]

Nice build! The OPL3 goes nicely with Duke Nukem 3D I reckon. I can appreciate the old hard drives as well, people weren't using CompactFlash adapters back in the day!
