Lovely component choices, this came together well! Nice touch with the case badges too. Always enjoyed those Socket 7 motherboards, they're a great mix of early 90s compatibility and Pentium MMX usefulness. Can't go wrong with some Glide 1.x gaming.

Grab something to eat, seat back and relax. Come and join me, its a long video and a blast from the past.

Nice to see someone who appreciates the 90's hard drives grinding as much as I do, nice video!

This was wonderful... I just re-lived the 90's too with a classic Pentium system as my first machine... a modest 75MHz with 16Mb RAM and a Quantum Trailblazer 840Mb drive. I still have a load of old machines, but not that old Pentium - you just gave me an idea... Cheers and take care, Pete

win95 startup sound was just great!!

What an amazing video. For a few moments I back to the 90s. Thanks for that.

Your video was a pleasure to watch. I had these same experiences and it made me remember the same emotions of 90. With the resonance of mmx200 and voodo 3 pci .. I found myself reliving the past. : D

I love builing my own PCs. Always did that throughout the years. An exception was my very own, and first PC, the all mighty IBM PS/1 486 that I bought back in September of 1993. That one was purchased on a store called Singer. Do you recall that chain of stores? Yeah. Gladly I had one of those stores around the place I lived in :) Amazing video, David! Loved it! Cheers! P.S.: Congrats and thanks for this 1st amazing year of content on KZfaq!

Beautiful build! All the details on the PC and effort on it are just simply amazing! Greetings from Costa Rica :)

what a delightful video! perfect for a relaxing sunday afternoon! enjoyed thoroughly

Awesome video, i love these retro builds :D

Wow! This was exactly the computer I had! Same rig, same games, same fun! Later, I upgraded it up to 48mb of ram and over locked it to 225mhz. I'm now rebuilding it! I just miss my voodoo1 who burnt back in the days. Thank you for the memories

Just watch the intro so far, but I will save some time soon to watch the full video ;) Just want to say congratulations for your first year on the platform. Im celebrating my second year today =D You have been doing an amazing job with really great and original content. I think the future of the Retro Gaming scene on KZfaq is within the small content creator that will spawn new types of videos with fresh ideas, and you are in the front line my friend. Parabéns David ;) e este 2º ano vai ser ainda melhor e maior acredita. Tudo de bom e joga muito my friend.

Throughly enjoyed your video, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I think i may just build another retro pc :-)

I'm watching it while eating dinner. This is a great video. A+++

Thanks very much for this video! I've just gotten into a retro kick myself, and it reminds me of some of my earliest builds before I really knew what I was doing. I could've sworn I saw you plug the floppy drive cable in backwards, as usually the red stripe should go towards the power plug as a rule of thumb. Either you fixed it offscreen or you knew better than I how that particular drive worked.

Very clean setup, I love it. I hated running games under Windows 95 when that OS came out, but then more and more game devs started to rely on DirectX and other Win95 components, and there was no other way anymore... But with high specs like yours games would eventually run very smoothly. Cool video. Subscribing, and looking forward to new ones.

Gotta love the win 95 pc, plus the setup you made for the pc is really awesome, love this video so much ❤❤

Just found a bunch of Old Pentium I boards in work, easy to say I've found some inspiration!

Man...great stuff... Congrats on the 400 subs...😀😀

Make me remember when playing in my 486DX4 at 100MHZ the old games that we miss a lot like "The 7guest", "Phantasmagoria", "The Dig", "Little Big Adventure", "Full Trotlle", "Diablo I", "The curse of monkey Insland", "Bronken sword", "Warcraft", "Dune","Comander conquer"...so many games that are still in our memories.. :D

Nostalgia pura! muito bom o vídeo!

hey from the us and a 80's baby, I just love every min of your video. I am getting ready myself to build a pc from my past. But with mine it going be a 1999 build with windows 98 se. I might even make a video about it.

My "retro rig" is a HP Z420 workstation. Got it used for 500 sek (50 bucks)! New SSD and a GTX 1650 and its even a reserve pc. Anyway. Im working through a backlog of older titles on it right now. Theres gotta be so (much) satisfaction fixing up a older machine,all those fresh rare parts, the joy that it even boots up later, teleport back in time! And the curiosity of "whats the most demanding title it can run". Building new machines aren't as fun, if you got high spec parts, you know it "just works" for anything. Its been so long since last time i used Win 95/98, its like a distant dream, the 90s. :) My oldest rig i got, (the rest have been been lost in time). I got a Pentium 3 rig in my childhood bedroom, still works, last thing i did was run Thief on it ages ago. No idea what to do with it though! :D Great video.

The speakers are fine. It’s the control potentiometers that need to be cleaned. Get a can of a spray cleaner called DeOxIt. Spray it into the pot through one of the tiny holes and then work the knob back and forth a bunch of times to clean off all the rust and dirt.

Aaahh This breaks my childhood memories! ...was playing prince of persia at that time

you took me back 30 years seeing this

Great "LGR style" video. Do you know anything more about the motherboard? Mine is really similar and I'm searching for a sort of manual to configure the cpu's jumpers.

You can get a plastic riser standoff. SNip off the small end that would fir into slot on different motherboard tray then it would be supported. Or find a piece of foam rubber that is correct thickness and glue it to the main tray but don't glue to motherboard.

Wow. I like this guy!

there is nothing better existing than the non-emulated sound of a sound blaster :D

Top amigo tive um já não tenho pena....:) bom video...:)

It looks great.

Like listening to Antonio Banderas build a computer. Love it. I think I have the exact same mobo in a old Acer someone gave me.

It looks like you're using the wrong screws for the HDD.The lens-shaped ones are usually fine pitch. HDD needs the hexagonal ones (rougher pitch, slightly larger).This can damage the threads and leads to resonant metal noises.

01:19:49 oh.the logo. your pc is beautiful !

Hello. I have the same motherboard. I have a question - could you please specify the pinout of the PS2 socket on the motherboard. I need this to connect a mouse. Best regards

What can speed up the Win95 install would be to create a separate disk partition using fdisk DOS utility (like 400MB), then copying all the Win95 installer files to it from the CD-ROM, and running install from that partition. Much faster. SIM City 2000 and NFS2. Had both those games.

Awesome Build. I love this vintage stuff. So much of this stuff has disappeared especially those old AT form factor cases. Since your board takes both Simm and Dimm modules. Have you thought of using the faster Dimm Modules(minimum PC-66) or a faster Pentium MMX or a AMD K6 CPU like the 233,266,or 300Mhz if the board will work with those processors as an upgrade to get that boost for carmageddon.

That CD Drive you speak of! It's likely under the Creative Digital IR drives! I have i believe a 1999 model of said drive. They are really fun to play around with.

Anyone know the motherboard model #? Or an approximation therof?

Ahhh ball mouses! Check for cotton and grease on the H/V rollers!

Can you tell me what are those keyboard are?

Oh hehe i found the older build you told me about x)

The Drive you are looking for is the Creative Infra. They are rare as they did not last too long in the Market

You had the "Sound Blaster Discovery" kit, with an AWE64, 12X CD-ROM with wireless remote, stereo speakers, and some software. The CD drive was called the "iNFRA1800." I hope that helps.

Does anyone know the model / name of that case? I'd love to find one....

The other really popular consumer level soundcard in the late 1990s, was the fantastic Yamaha SW1000XG. Not suitable for gaming but great for everything else.

9:00 We had that same drive - Creative 12X with an infrared remote. My dad probably got it at Best Buy (US). From what I was told I think it was one of the cheaper drives at the store, even though it had that crazy remote thing and all the bundled software associated with it. Maybe it was on a clearance sale? Ours died after about a year or so. Honestly I didn't like it for a couple reasons 1) It was my first experience with a "high speed" drive that spins down when idle and has to spin up every time it's accessed, and I thought the lag that caused was annoying (slower drives don't do that nearly as much, they can spin continuously because they're a lot smoother and quieter). 2) The drive tray would automatically close after a preset time. It would often start to close just as I was putting a disc on the tray. It made me mad when it did that. I remember that the remote relied on a Windows program that had to be running which listened for commands from the remote. It kept making the hard drive light blink every few seconds which was a little bothersome. It was cool though, you could program it do almost anything with the remote. We never had a practical use for it, but the idea that I could use a remote control to run programs from across the room was amusing.

Nice stuff ✌️😁

Damn, that's a nice PC. I almost sound like the T-1000, when I say that. Anyway, have you thought about putting in a faster CPU, like a Pentium 233? That may help with speeding up some of the higher resolution DOS games because it looked like Duke Nukem 3D was slowing down just a little. I think I have a PC like that, (minus any 3d accelerators) in my garage. I should take it out and see if I can build a mid 90s PC, out of it.

Question. How come you put in a graphics card and also a voodoo 1? Isn't the voodoo 1 a graphics card already? If I got a voodoo 1, would I also need a different graphics card for 2D games or can it do both?

good video

Which OSR version is this windows 95?

Precioso PC

Damn, I love SimCity 2000.

we want more retro computers

very good

Great video. Did you use the pci to serial adapter or pci to usb for your mouse? Regards

what is the name of this song

Can you play Rising Lands on this pc and make a video?

front panel audio header still on the mobo and battery still there

Awesome video again! Please like and share to your friends and family.👍

Could you share some info about the CPU heatsink you used here? I'd love to have one for my pentium 1.

With 200MMX I use Asus TX97-X motherboard with DIMMs. With latest VIA chipset you can you AMD k6 233-300 MHz.

Ty to algorithm

Something as simple as a removable motherboard tray is a dream for system builders, why doesn't this exist in EVERY modern day case? I literally emitted a groan of pleasure when I saw that...

Wish I've kept my first pc from early 1998. It was also a Pentium MMX 166MHz system. Last year though, I found some AT Socket 7 pc parts and built myself a proper 1997 high end system. Pentium MMX 200MHz, Soyo SY-5EAS5, 128MB SDRAM PC66, Diamond Monster 3D (Voodoo 1), Diamond Viper V330 (Riva 128), ESS ES1868F LP and a 20GB Maxtor drive running Windows 95 OSR2.1

You are good

My first PC was a Pentium 100. It was very expensive but it introduced me to the internet and I got a lot of use from it. I still have it though I put a Pentium 133 in it. Just because. HP Pavilion

Good 😍

nice! love the content. Though I suggest, just don't imitate LGR too much. Do your own thing! Keep it up bro!

Você poderia me dizer, como fez para instalar a placa USB ? vc conseguiu o drive em algum site ? poderia passar o endereço...

I almost forgot! I DO have a Sound Blaster AWE 64 for my Pentium III 😁

I also had a quantum bigfoot, it was a dog of a drive LOL

Can you make video things, what must remember when build you first AT style (example 486) pc? I think also some generation Z nerds interesting 486, its fully different world (ISA, VLB, FPM, IDE, etc).

Congratulations on hitting your first year anniversary and for this excellent PC build! :-D My retro build, which I completed earlier this year, is based on my very first PC's Intel Celeron 400(A) Mendocino Socket 370 CPU and ATX case, revolving around a Tyan Tomahawk 440 BX motherboard, 512MB of SDRAM, 128MB DDR GeForce 4 MX 440 AGP card, Turtle Beach Montego II Aureal Vortex 2 PCI card, Yamaha Audician 32 ISA card with DreamBlaster S1 daughtercard, and dual booting between Windows 98 Second Edition and 2000 Professional. The specifications of the CPU can be seen here: www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Celeron/Intel-Celeron%20400%20-%20FV80524RX400128%20(FV524RX400%20128).html

Creative Infra i think is the Drive you are on about. I have one :-) have to load the cd into a cartridge if its the same one?

Check with other speakers cause it looks amazing!

Já nem lembrava como era Windows 95 e os sons que estas máquinas faziam o única coisa que não tenho saudades é da demora na instalação. Esse need for speed ta muito fixe faz me ter saudades e vontade de montar uma máquina para voltar a jogar.

Pentium 1 + S3 TRIO 64 1mb + DIAMOND 3D MONSTER VooDoo 4mb PCI 😍😍😍

man I installed dos, then win95 no problem, chipset.. then my matrox and voodoo and also awe64 and finally once everything should be finished I can't boot past Update DMI Information now, unless I use a boot disk then no problem. This is my first AT in a while!

What is this pc specs

I wish I could get a Voodoo card for an old Pentium III that i plan to build 😓

Great video! I am scavenging the needed components to build a Windows 95 PC myself for non-gaming, non-internet purposes. My inspiration for this is dual: I have a drafting and a word processing program from waaay back that I like, and I also happen to have the Windows 95 install CD-ROM. I almost threw these out several times these past 20 years, but somehow they still remain. (Win 95 boot disk is lost to time, so a replacement is on it's way) Your video has taught me exactly what I need, and how to connect everything. I assume this "Voodoo" card is a gaming card, for both the graphics and audio. So two questions: 1) Can you game with just the separate sound card and graphics card? (no plans for gaming yet, but you never know) 2) Can you skip the separate sound card and graphics card, and just use the Voodoo card for everything?

1:11:40- how to exit into dos mode without restart? my win98 wants restart (probaly dos wasnt installed before win98)

they were built like tanks back in the day

Thx for the memmories 🚬🚬

Sir, I want a PC like this, where can I get it from.

If your burning CD-Rom smells like your BBQ, I would suggest you might have something wrong with your BBQ also 🙂

Those CD's with IR were called the Infra24 or something similar. I have seen them in the past but never owned one. www.pcang.com/img/creative_infra2400.jpg

nessa epoca tinhamos pcs de verdade que podiamos escolher oq colocar em nossas maquinas, hoje em dia ainda tem isso, mas, competem deslealmente com computadores capados e gabinetes menores que uma torradeira.

.... and without tell at all "humanity!!!" ..... Certificate Of Authencity 24796 OEM :-P .... p.s. recently subbed

Yo estoy armando una pentium 1 de 150mhz que fue la primera pc mía tenía solo el procesador y las ram de esa pc y acabo de comprarme la motherboard teniendo una awe te olvidaste de configurar para awe la música del duke3d y se escucha mejor que soundblaster solo igual que doom. Para los parlantes probastes wd40 en los potenciómetros del volumen

You missing the turbo button :))))

Surprised a pentium 1 could run those games 😂 as i had a Pentium 2 PC in the late 90s and it struggled to run Tomb Raider or NFS3 even wity a Voodoo graphics card 😂

A Pentium with MMX was from 96, it was the last version prior to Pentium II

Dualboot MS-DOS and Windows 95?!

One dead CD Rom drive 😄 You got lucky though
