Brings back memories having to get over a thousand pcs with win 7. When I used to work for a foot doctor.

Great Parts Selection and a Great Video Thanks

I love it. I used to have this exact motherboard with a 2400+ @2.4ghz on water. The POST speech reporter absolutely would talk over the audio out. It'll even do it on a successful POST, not just errors. If I recall, it says something like "Power on self test completed. Now booting into operating system"

Ahh! The Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe. What a board it was! I had that board in my PC back then, with the complimentary WiFi (b) card. The only flaw of the board was the lack of power. It lacked a 12V P4 connector and only had a 20 pin ATX power connector. By this time, I’d expect more from Asus. I used the same CPU cooler, and eventually replaced it by a CNPS-7000cu-LED (iirc). It cooled considerably better. Especially when using an Athlon XP-m 2400+, clocked like a 3700+!! I had an ATI Radeon X800Pro 256MB, flashed with a Gigabyte BIOS, so the extra pipelines, shaders and clocks were unlocked. It was an absolute beast of a machine! I’m loving this video so far!

This build is really coming along well. You've done a great job piecing together a very nice tribute to your old PC. I'm very much looking forward to part 3.

That case is incredibly cool

Wow 👌 been waiting for this great content

Man I adore old custom pc builds but compare the most of them, this one is just beautiful! I adore how subtle the lighting is too. The lights inside the case fades out near the top and the front case has those little bars that looks like lava lamps, I think I just love how this pc looks in general! Can't wait for part three!

Wow looks good love it never had any lights on mine

Oh man, that takes me back to my XP build, I'm gonna have to recreate that now! Thanks for unlocking some old school PC mod memories :D

As much as I watch new PC builds I was curious when I came across this video so thought I'd give it a watch and I don't regret it at all. Lovely build looks so nice

wow am your 700th subscriber, its a great honor, hope you get big so you remember me

Cool

In xp after installing the Os u can allign the partitions on the ssd for longer lifetime. There is a nice video around from Phil's Computer Lab. I think he uses mini tool partition wizard for that.

Love this series, can't wait to see it running games. I'd recommend getting a sata dock that goes in expansion card alots. That way you can swap SSDs for other OSs and ease of adding files

Great video! Spray all connectors/moving parts/contacts with plastic safe lanolin oil for corrosion protection and easy plugging/ unplugging! IDE connectors also!

Hello, mister hand! Cool videos!

I have the same Asus Geforce4 ti 4600. Its a ASUS V8460 Ultra With a bleu orange (tiny) round cooler. I also fitted mine with a better cooler. But have also kept the original on the side. Those all have purple pcb.

Oh wow, straight down memory lane! I used to build a rig with these cathode lights and the backpanel switch myself, about 300 years ago orso. 😄 Good times, good times. No cable management, but LOOK AT IT GLOWING, MOM! xD Fast forward and I went down that road again, now with RGB, whoa 😄

You are missing the cable for front usbs and audio, also a x4 hardrive bay that slides in on the rails where the speaker is. You've got leds out in the bubble tubes as well two top and two at the bottom they display different colours for a two colour effect. Great video now waiting for the Xp install, thank you 😊

there was a big thing back then in the mid 90s of color matched computer components. There was a web site back then that sold color matched components like optical drives, floppy drives, keyboard and mice, speakers and PC cases and moitors. They came in five or six different colors. Silver, black, purple, blue, and a lime green color. You could have made a whole color matching computer set up from that site.

While I did have an Athlon XP back in 2003 when I first tried windows XP, that is an 98/ME compatible hardware era. Far older, far more likely to present problems than a more modern machine. I have a retro XP machine that is the last hardware to officially have drivers for windows xp: An h67 motherboard and a 3770 ivy bridge with a GTX 970. Yes, the 970 is still a capable card for modern games while having official drivers for winodws XP. And I even dual boot to windows 10 with it.

back during this time, the mobile barton 2500+ was known as a great overclocker. its the one that i overclocked alot. This is the motheroboard i used back then also

2:46 you might be interested in a Lian-Li fan controller. The blue backlight of the display and brushed aluminum would definitely compliment the build.

This almost what i use back in 03. Athlon Xp 2500+ o/c @ 3200+, GF4 Ti 4200 o/c @ 4600 and an Audidgy 2 ZS.... So much memory from that time... :)

A Scythe Kaze Master fan controller with VFD display in silver would be a great fit for that case. I use the glossy black version myself with my Cooler Master Elite 370 case for my Q9650 XP build. ;-)

11:09 Had same exact motherboard with athlon 3200+ barton. Beast of motherboard, paired with Ati 9600pro and 1GB of ram. I think i had it from 2004-2007, switched couple of cards started with MX440, 9600pro ended with 7600GS 256MB. And total of 2 GB of DDR. I remember also your OG case it was generic chinese case it was very popular in my country, My was knock off of Alienware case. Later switched it with ThermalTake Xaser III behemoth of case

The case and stickers of that PSU look exactly like those made by FSP Fortron/Source. It's certainly a rebrand. I found those FSP PSUs to be very reliable.

i guess the gpu is a Creative 3D Blaster 4 Titanium 4600 (Geforce 4 Ti 4600) with custom zalman cooler and additional blue heatsinks on the ram chips

I have a very similar build project. Same mobo and CPU. Unfortunately it keeps freezing shortly after boot. I've got to run some tests one of these days. Hoping it's a memory issue and not bad caps.

You should be able to run a single drive on the RAID chip no problem. Granted, my MSI K7N2G has a Promise controller, and you will still need the drivers on a floppy when installing Windows, but I'm running SATA just fine as the only boot drive

this setup is older than me

I hope there was thermal paste on the cpu cooler.

I owned a motherboard with the same exact color as your gpu back in the day and it was made by ECS.

I still got Cooler Master Musketeers laying around new sealed. Model: LLC-U02 im willing to sell. Next to HDD Transfer Rack ICY DOCK Bodyguard 525 to fit a standard 5.25″ expansion bay.

50:00 I'll bet the voltage drops below the operating voltage of the tachometer circuitry.

if you flap a copper flex membrane, you have both the cooler and the near solid state fan in same package

Pretty sure that's a PNY GF4 as I have one myself with the std cooler (labelled PNY) but as I looked at mine I realised that 8872 No at the top/frt of the card also refers to an MSI MS-8872 model number so I wonder if they were MSI made boards for PNY, I also have another Creative GF card that also has an MSI model number, so yeah could be either I guess. 👍

i still say windows xp is still the best os

well done. a slot load drive, thats for my ps3. giving up the dual use cup holder isnt worth it the fanciness.

hey, so i dont know if youtube bugged out and deleted my comment, or if you just turned comments with links up for review until it can be properly displayed in the comments section, but after a few months of digging through the internet to find what the case is, i think i've finally found it it is a Verre v770 plexiglass side window silver case, and it looks almost an exact match from your images and descriptions you gave apart from the lighting on the front panel. i would love to send the images and link to where i found it, but i fear that my comment will just get deleted, so if you want more info from my search, i'll just link my twitter handle in the reply of this comment

No Pentium 4? What! a sad build xd need more power hungry beast like the Pentium d extreme
