Just wanted to clarify as I've been getting quite a few comments about it recently: While Afterburner was reading that the CPU was running at 100*C, this wasnt the case (luckily). Unfortunately due to a temp sensor issue it was reporting the wrong temperature. The CPU cooler was fitted perfectly snug despite the lack-luster "zip-tie" solution. Thank you all for your comments though!

9:30 cars secretly are powered by moving carpets confirmed. Interesting video though, growing up with 478 was an 8/10

That windows xp song at 5:18 really got me hehe, so damn nostalgic

Damn, that Windows XP installation setup music hit me hard...

I loved this. I'm kind of a hardware hoarder. I have my old Dell dimension from 2002 still. It was our family pc and I've upgraded it to a Pentium 4 3.06ghz and I bought a gt 610 that is made for the standard pci slot so now I can use HDMI. It's a lot of fun.

Oh great I discovered a new retro hardware channel and such a young one none less. Keep on uploading mate, 478, 775, 939,AM2+ are not dead just yet :D

Nice filming; soothing lighting, editing and voiceover. Subscribed!

Awesome video production for a retro vibe and voice over

I had a old case and motherboard I decided to finally finish building. It just happened to have the exact same MB you are using. Thanks for the video. I will use it as a guide.

Dang, even the Windows XP installation music and the zune wallpaper were spot on!

Gotta love those nvidea stickers man.....that's my childhood

Nice, I have a 478 Xpc Shuttle in the loft 3.2 ghz with a Ati 9600 pro 128 mb.. This video has made me quite keen to dig it out. Agp graphics cards prices seemed quite pricey last time I looked, upgrading could be pricey. But you are well aware of that & you seem happy with the rig.

Still have my 478 machine, a Dell Dimension 4600 upgraded to 3.0 GHz and 3 GB of ram with a HD3650 AGP which was a thriftstore find Also has 2x 160 GB IDE HDD’s and a 60 GB Sata SSD, which worked for some reason

Nice video but... a Geforce FX 5200? Come on man, that was the worst of the FX family.

You should make a video about your (if you had one) dream LGA 775 build. I remember my first ever unlocked CPU, the QX6800. I paired it with a p5k3 mobo and overclocked the hell out of it. Got 3.5 GHz stable and probably could have pushed it further if I used quality thermal paste. Thing sounded like a rocket on bootup, but it was worth it. And damn, for such a small youtuber, you have quality videos. Subscribed!

really beautiful case!!!

This is some Green Ham Gaming kind of stuff. Keep it up !!

Damn!!! My first build in 2005/2006 had almost the same specs as yours!! This video hit me hard with nostalgia :) If I remember correctly my build had: Pentium 4 3.0 2GB RAM GPU I think was a PowerColor Radeon HD 3650 512MB AGP 320GB Samsung HDD I remember back then upgrading the case with some big fans with blue light and nice airflow (cut holes on the front of the case), HDD cooler was a thing back then too and I had one. Stock CPU cooler. Cable management was a mess and I'm pretty sure I was not running proper drivers as back then I didn't even knew what drivers were. I was 16 back then... Good times... I still have most of the parts stored except the case and HDD. Maybe someday I'll revive that pc for the sake of nostalgia. Great video.

Recently put together a pretty similar P4 retro xp build, that was based on an Advent T9100 obtained for free off the kerbside. It's now running a Socket 478 P4 3.20E Prescott, with an ASRock P4i65G motherboard, 2GB (2x1GB) of Kingston Hyper-X DDR 400 memory, a 256MB XFX 6600GT AGP card, and an Audigy SB0090 PCI audio card. Also using a Seasonic SS-500ET PSU, 160GB & 320GB Hitachi SATA drives, dual Lite-On DVD PATA drives, and a Masscool copper CPU cooler, complete with a floppy drive & internal card reader that came with the case. For improved airflow though I had to ghetto jam in a Noctua NF-P12, as the T9100 case, great looking as it is in metallic blue and silver, didn't come with anywhere to mount a case fan natively.

Great work i must say...So much humbleness in developing the wording line... a need for speed 1,2,3 can play on this also......lots of title compatible with the setting.....upgrades also example blueray disk drive really push the installation software this day...last but not least ...enjoyed watching this retro setup ...hurrrraaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!

Love watching videos about retro builds. I too have Windows XP build but I'm not into "period/era correct" because I want to play all XP era games on max settings. My Windows XP PC right now is FX 4300 (Upgrading to FX 8300 soon) + GTX 960 and will be dual booting with a Windows 7.

Loved this video,I'm also going to build a socket 478 gaming pc I'm so exited, just waiting for the parts to arrive, windows xp and a northwood p4 and an fx5200, similar parts to your build.

Really enjoyed this

Great vid. I’m currently doing this myself now with a p4 but with an Msi motherboard. GeForce 4. The excitement is unreal 🤣

Nice setup, build with available parts that don't cost too much. I just got some cards from the same era (P4 2.8, Intel865, Radeon 7000, SB Live Value, 2GB DDR400), maybe for a dual boot (Win98SE + WinXP). Let us know of a any upgrades on the way.

i used to install that ZUNE theme for XP too

I got a socket 478 Pentium 4 for my Windows 98 overkill gaming machine. I'm ready to assemble it now.

You got that xp disc in there just in time as the drive got initialised. Reminds me of my first pc I built from new parts bought at a pc expo. P4 2.8GHz, some crappy case, a gigabyte entry atx mobo and a GeForce FX5200, some ram and I had the rest. Still got it now and used as a game server but won't run anything as hdd never stops lol

That SL6WJ was legendary, latest batch of Northwoods cores.

It's not the ultimate 2000s PC without all the weird heatsinks. Hdd, Ram, Northbridge and Southbridge. Nice video

Very nice! I had a socket 478 retro pc too, but it was very power hungry. Now my retro gaming pc runs W98SE in a Turion MT-37 with 512MB DDR1 and a GeForce 6200 256MB.

Nice retro build.

Loved the video! The FX5200 is not realy the best card our there for the 2003 era! I would recomend an ATI Radeon 9600 or 9800 XT or a Geforce 6600 GT

man I love those old antec cases

You might wanna check the way you mounted the CPU cooler as it said that the CPU was running at 100 degrees the whole time lol

My first pc was my family computer, Had a pentium 4 and like 2GBs RAM, my dad bought it in 2002. I don’t remember too much about because it broke in like 2006-07. 2 years older than me. First computer I bought and built myself is my Ryzen 3 system, which I still use now

Dono did I comment yet but you made almost the spot on XP machine 💪 Bravo

NSK-3480 Top Notch. The review on it shows just how much a basic office case can do.

I miss green ham gaming. I love your channel!!

That FSP Group psu looks like it came out of an older Packard Bell system.

Built a P3 system years ago and somehow ended up getting a Ultra TMD socket 478 super fan heat sink for the P4 . Brand new and not like it will ever find a Mb to use it on or a P4 . Might have to go dumpster dive a hoarders house lol. Had a blue light as well :) MB glowed some nice.

I have the same case with modern Ryzen and RX570 GPU. Beautiful case. Although mine is all black.

Donkey Kong Country music!! Love It!!

Managed to build an XP PC similar to yours mobo: ASRock P4VM800 CPU: PrescHOT 2.8E Ghz RAM: 2GB Kingmax GPU: MSI FX5200 Sound card: on the hunt for an Audigy 2 ZS Still more powerful than my first PC, even though back then I had the FX5500. The few games I played on it run pretty well, such as Half-Life, Half-Life 2, Morrowind, Worms 3, No One Lives Forever :D 5:04 yep, the same "purr" as mine and something that I don't miss from this era of PCs

I just picked up a computer from the dump and it has a pentium 4 clocked at 3.6ghz and has 4gb of OCZ DDR-433 and a AMD ATI 800X 256mb of ddr3 and a 480W PSU, it works fine except the smaller fan on the motherboard is shot and it needed a hard drive. But some one just threw it out and I don't know what to do with it now.

atec always makes the best stuff

I have a 128mb pny 5200fx agp, sadly no dvi just two vga ports and an s video, I should really get a 478 rig, came across 10 dell dimensions and only too the ram and some cpus and a gpu out wish I had taken the whole rig

That pc looks amazing i love to see old pc/hardware getting some love. i just completed building my nostaligia pc as well it has: A good condition whit old case Pentium 4 3.0ghz Asus p4pe mobo Nvidia fx 5950 2gb ram Sounblaster audigy 2 platinum And even managed to get a good crt monitor for a good price. And i have to admid i love the pc im almost using it more than my main gaming pc😅.

Nice system - the only thing i can pick on is the cable ties for the CPU cooler - they will not provide anywhere near the clamping force needed for the socket.

You're the new green ham gaming!

Im just building my Fujitsu Siemens Scaleo 600 and Compaq Presario SR1610NX atm from back in the day and man we are so spoiled with automatic driver installation and updates nowadays...

I like that Case...

i had a pentium 4 that used to run smoothly and with lower input lag than my current 9900k. Stability was better back then...

My retro machine: pentium 4 2.8 w Hiper Treading enabled, 2gb ddr2 800 dual channel, Palit gt 240 512 mb ddr5, 550w FSP psu w Active PFC, WD Caviar Black 160 gb sata, Seagate Barracuda 320 gb sata, generic HP DVD drive, windows xp proff sp3. Socket 478! All thanks to Asrock p4i945gc w sata, pci-e and ddr 2. It's so fun and interesting to build such a system!

How are you playing hl2? Steam? Didn’t they make it stop working?

Why the CPU temp is at 100°C during the benchmarks?

5:02 The soothing boot-up noise. Too bad there isn't the rising noise HDDs make.

I have the exact same rig with an ati chipset. "(hp board) mine is a pentium d960 at 3.6g. i am using the ati onboard graphics with similar results. the case is difficult to wire up. mine triple boots 98, xp & vista.

Not fair I didn't grow up in the computer age. Not seen so many add in cards in a PC for so long.

Found a dell b110 yesterday by the road...it had a s478...Celeron.

How did you get all these games on windows XP!

I buyed an old pc that had waranty in 2007 it was soo dusty i gived it a good old clean and worked

What kind motherboard u use dude?

In socket 478 time, most of us still had CRT screen. 😀

Mans played the Sexy hiking level 3 soundtrack

My parents pc was a medion pc with an 3 ghz pentium d with 2 gb of ram and a 250gb sata hard drive and a nvidia Geforce 6700xl graphics card.

Fan blade not "fin" and cable ties jeezo where are you from?

The GeForce FX 5200 was a super shit even in 2003, 5900xt or 5600 ultra or 9800pro was the videocards of dreams

Because on and tune room, so for cecep and time

I have the same monitor, but it had died just yesterday.

GOTTA HAVE THAT ZUNE THEME! One that came out I installed it as Default to Every & Any PC I fixed since I was the Local PC nice guy for everyone. That was my Jokers Card @ the Crime Scene LOL

Can it run crysis tho? sorry i had to

Still have that same Samsung Monitor as a spare. In case yours starts to fail, just recap it, it'll have another decade in it afterwards.

Hey man! I love this build! I am attempting a similar project and am looking to get more powerful hardware. Does this motherboard support a 3.00 Ghz CPU? Also, I am looking to find a 478 motherboard that supports onboard SATA. My current board does but it gets confused when I use an IDE and SATA configuration. Does this motherboard let you boot from a SATA drive? Lastly, I have been having issues with getting my motherboard to read my sound card. It is a Sound Blasters Live as well. My motherboard does not have onboard audio so that may be the issue. How do you recommend I fix this? I look foreword to your response!

Age of empires ! Ran great on P3 !

What? XP nostalgic? OMG The time pass, is true. For my XP era is too close, yesterday Ohhhhh this vídeo have 03 years!

I have a dedicated XP rig with Q9550 and GT730 2GB GDDR5.

Windows xp is my childhood os.

where did you buy the case?

Someday i will build my first computer again, Celeron D 325, fx 5200 128mb agp, hd 80gb, 1,5gb ram ddr1, good times.

Thought I'd share my first PC, cuz why not. Pentium DualCore E5300 (basically a cheaper core 2 duo) Gigabyte p31-es3g or something like that 2 gb DDR2 Single Channel 800 mhz Palit Passive 9500GT 512MB ddr2 I think And of course, lovely Windows XP.

That 100°C CPU temps tho, fix your cooling and u will probably get a better experience.

100°C? Oh shoot

Even though i have modern gaming PC, i still want to have some older systems around me.

I missed the Pentium 4 era by using the Pentium M. I wonder how they compared.

Why is the cpu at 100c

You can max it out with a 6600gt

I still have a windows xp pc In iran windows 98 and xp was very popular back in the days

man your cpu was 100 degree Celsius XD,anyways nice video

Ah yes the ultimate windows xp machine with the legendary fx5200

That machine would propably be a very fast Windows 98se/Me/2k setup...

Back in the day i had pentium 4 with 512mb gpu and those days were ❤🔥

Windows XP will always be my favorite operating system the legend of Windows XP

because need cable vga life so in monitor red, for example boy 7 movie

Playing retro games on actual Hardware is actually the best way to play rather than using emulators which a lot of times can be very glitchy and require so much tweaking.

Will it RAN gameloop emulator ???

I am still using Pentium 4 build pc. (dell optiplex gx620) 😿😀

I remember being desperate for a 600Mhz P3... and 128 mb of ram!

Put some thermal paste your cpu is always at 100 degres... = Bottleneck Believe me my computer has bottleneck for 8 months on vrchat because he didn't have any thermal paste Now he run Well Great video as always :)

I was around 20 years old when XP launched, does that count as "grew up using"? lmao
