I binge-watch your videos since july the 1st and I love them so much. Great work, funny and interesting !

It looks like that first comp is wearing some kind of a medallion. There at the bottom.

Mike, you can find out for sure if that msg is spyware, by changing the Windows theme. if that message still has the same colors as before, the system has spyware. They were too lazy and/or stupid to change their bogus message colors to match whatever theme you were using. They kept it at default.

Great diagnostic. Learned a few things! I really liked you use of Linux to have a deeper look at the system.

I remember the XT with the green Hercules monitor... my mom would type faster than it could process. (10 MB, oh yes, the vast amount of space we had available)

Ok so then... a gutted Enlight case is what... Enlighter?? Mike, if you can do bad jokes, so can I. :-)

YOO KING IS BACK

Looking for an isa mach 32 or et4000, eBay sucks anymore for retro PC stuff it's all way overpriced and most of it is non working junk.

.....

Hey, I remember those purple buttons. But my case the swoops down the sides were painted silver. I remember that the reset button on it was a PITA to push and liked to stick, necessitating the use of graphite, which was marginally effective.

That Pentium iii 700 with the 100MHz FSB is very hard to come by... I have a dead 850 and a 650... Been on the hunt for a faster one for my Intel Dot Station (i810 - FSB 66/100 only)

Alien (1979) and Alien: Isolation are strong with this one

Yay! A new MikeTech video!!! This made my Tuesday lunch break much better.

ever considered getting a 3D printer for printing replacement parts? Love your content, thx for sharing this!

Do you have an AT case I can have? I can't seem to find one where I live and people are stupid wanting to charge retail price on case's.....

Mid 2000’s would be in the future around 2050

'A holes' got me

miiike glad to see u againn

I have the exact same lite on dvd burner that's on the first system. That thing is bulletproof. It belonged to my stepdad who bought it for his rig in 05 ane used it for almost 10 years. I've been using it to burn audio CDs almost daily for 3 years now, et even has a direct drive tray, and a red LED for when it's burning data. Besides the rubber on the platter clamp wearing off from so much use, i never had any issue with that drive.

Good old PC, nice 😂😂

i have got to start calling notes on computers "granny instructions"

ms-6787 is good i think it has win98 driver

Great to see you back! We all hope everything is ok for you. "Check out that footprint." I was like, what's the big deal, looks like a normal size mid tower... oh... THAT footprint XD

Good to have you back, and yeah, moving sucks. Those are definitely some basic systems, no doubt built for basic needs

Love the fun with the 'Max Power' name 😂

The only thing those Toshiba XM series CD-ROM drives deserve is a hammer. The tray loader gears on those are absolute garbage.

I remember that second case. I think I built an athalon 1200+ in it in … 2002ish? wow never thought I’d see that again.

See, and here I thought percussive maintenance was only for old MFM hard drives. Guess it's time to add optical drives to the list.

6:04 whoever put that heatsink on back in the day forgot to remove the plastic film! was expecting a comment on that

I love that TRS-80 with dual disk drives. One of the first computers I played on as a kid.

It's good madness.

that Celeron is 2ghz not 2.6

"and they took the hard drive out" Whenever Mike says that, I say "c*cksuckers". The hd is part of the fun, and they had to ruin it.

You were missed! Can't wait for our regularly scheduled broadcasts~

I hope you're comfortable in your new house!

turps easily dissolves any thermal compound - on a q tip then clean it up with IPA

Hey Mike, You are pretty much the positive stereotype of a German Engineer - Everything You do is so neat and nice and even kinda meditative. Impressive.

Mike's back!.. I always get a little excited when he drops a vid - thanks Mike - awesome as always! 😁

i also had that ASUS CUSL2 board in 2004 and today i also have one in my collection and yes that thin PCI slot looks funny.

30:44 Back muscles are looking good king

I moved house exactly a year ago. With 250 old computers, 40 CRTs and 100 crates of accessories and spare parts. So I know your pain. I am still not fully set up here. Hang in there!

FInally I know where the "he protec" meme comes from! But he also attac when the caps go bad.

That Toshiba CD-ROM drive has more plastic than my Cyberdrive of roughly the same vintage (and that's something, since the Toshiba must have been much more expensive). Btw, I moved in the summer of 2022 and in April of this year. Still don't know where some of my things went, including a Yamaha SCSI CD-RW drive, which I'd really like to use for my dual slot 1 workstation build.

Nice stuff man.Could watch these things all day!

Of all those I follow on KZfaq, without a doubt, you are my favorite channel.

Great to see you back bro. Hope you're happy with the new digs. Great video thanks for sharing 😁

Your retro PC videos are amazing!😁

Welcome back Mike, nice to see you with a new upload. keep them coming, always a pleasure to watch, look forward to the next :)

Another awesome score!

23:06 That really made me laugh 😆
