I have a 7200/120 with failing drives and i have no idea how to find out if a bluescsi is compatible or how to configure it. I also have no idea how to get a os on it without the disk as well as tools

If I were you I’ll tear off that shroud package on the cpu, it wouldn’t do any good in cooling. Mounting a cooler master AIO liquid cooler and you are good to go.

Magazines. Not clips.

Hey Rik, would love to see you stream Heavy Metal sometime!

Heretic is so, so good. A literal fantasy shooter.

"How does the day greet you, friend?" *pulls axe* Lol.

Ahh, this is the kind of PC my family had when I was younger! My grandpa actually kept it all the way until 2018, since all he really did was play Solitaire on it. It's definitely not a silent model, as the whirring of the fans and the little dial-up noises it constantly made are ingrained into basically all of my early memories related to the internet.

G&G as the first game? Parenting with an iron fist

my very faint memories of the nes are that i was pretty good.. even though i never came close to beating a single one and was 3 years old when the snes came out.. but in reality, i imagine it looked something like this

i love those late era socket 7 boards, where u got both option for at or atx psu and sd or edo ram, i think it was neat! i really enjoyed that time period of PCs in general, good memories... childhood memories, life easy and peaceful and plenty of time to x-around ty for the video and cheers from bavaria in southern germany!

I have a g4 just like the one shown with the 128 card it's loaded with 9.2 and 10 tiger 10.4.1 and I believe the os needs a complete refresh tbh. I just don't know what to do with it anymore. 😔😔😪 Nice Job with that one though!👍

Thanks for the info, Where can I get this software ?

Nice build... cool music too!

Are you interested in another one of these pc's? Just let me know. If you want I'll make a video showing it's working like it should be. Johan, Groningen

We had one almost identical to this. Awesome.

my first S3 card was a S3 Trio3D/2X, it couldnt do 3D games like Quake 2 at the time though, so years later I upgraded to a TNT2 Vanta

Oh I would have loved that case back then ❤ ironicly now I prefer beige. 😅 great video.

Great card, it was in every OEM PC out there back in the day. When you bought an of-the-shelf PC in 1999/2000, it was this card in it 99% of the time. So it got the best drivers and most game compatibility of the S3 cards. I skipped straight from a Savage 3D to a Savage 2000. Its really sad that most S3 Metal games only run with graphical glitches on the Savage 2000, but at least the better OpenGL performance made up for it. But man all those cards got expensive...

What impressed me about this build is the fact that the motherboard has it's backplate. These are near on impossible to get with pentium 2 motherboards because 99% of what is available out there is 2nd hand and who ever pulled the motherboards from the cases failed to take the backplate with it. I've just recently built a pentium 2 computer. I still had all my old original parts for my original pentium 2 except for a motherboard because my original one died and thus I needed to get a replacement and spent months looking for the right one at the right price and in all those months not one was being advertised with it's backplate, just the motherboard. So yes, I am therefore impressed that your motherboard has it's backplate.

Awesome collection! I still today only purchase big box releases, no matter the platform

I'm just getting into pc gaming always been a console guy, nes onwards to series x and ps4, my rig is a 3060TI on win10 with extra stuff (my mate help me buy parts and build) I have steam and epic games BUT also love my older games from GOG, I just bought an external cd drive so was thinking buying some old school games I love rts games like c&c and fps like doom, duke3d also looking for other games like don't get much of on consoles like 90s 2000s games any reccomendations. Your collection is intense must be worth tonnes lol Cheers.

Do you have maybe Orion Burger big box ? or Duckman: The Graphic Adventures of a Private Dick big box? I never see this boxes :)

Great vid! Glad you are spreading the nes experience to the next generation. It will fortify him in the future! Perseverance and determination!

The storage medium often becomes the "modern" part of these systems as they get replaced with flash-based CF / SD cards or even full blown SSDs. I much prefer the spinning rust drive sound while they still work at all.

It’s really interesting to compare these games with what Silicon Graphics did with Nintendo 64 at the same time.

My grandma bought an IBM Aptiva back then. It was black. The case set on the floor. There was a separate smaller case that set on the desk under the monitor. It held all the drives. Floppy and cd drive. I believe pentium 75mhz. I loved looking at it. I finally bought it off her and upgraded what I could. Wish I had kept it.

If you are using 17"/19" tft's it's better to change the 3dfx resolution to 75hz insted of 60hz to get 2d centered over 3d and also get rid of the jailbars. a bit fiddeling but trust me it works!

I love building in retro PCs, but boy am I glad we moved away from Molex connectors.

I don't what it was about the slot1 boards but seemed more robust and had better performance. I have a couple slot 1 boards im planning to do a PIII and a PII build.

i want a pc with a hard disc and floppy drive where can i buy one new old stock ?? thanks

Love the vid, lol damn you did all that before testing out

Beautiful collection :)

Keep em popping up Rik, nice to see you once in a while !

i don't own this game but i love it purely because of those taunts and the art style.

Really nice machine. The all black finish and having all the separate parts look like they belong makes it really pop. Windows 98 is one of my favourite operating systems. Great job.

Good job

I worked for AST back in the day that system came out. Brings back a lot of support memories. The 8-bit guy was just one of us there are a lot more.

how do you get the cpu/gpu drivers?

have a V5 5500 paired with a PIII-S 1.4GHz. GTA Vice city and Max Payne run very nicely

Had all sorts of problem getting this chip to work with my TV card. Luckily there was some guy online at the time releasing "bit-flip" drivers for it that fixed my issues. I wasn't too surprised that it wasn't top notch, I only bought it because $50 for a 32mb card was incredibly cheap at the time.

My first 3Dfx games I had came with the videocard: *Mechwarrior: Mercenaries, F1 1997,* And I bought a few others, back then - *Jane's F-15, Apache 95, Hind 95, Tomb Raider,* which came with the "DLC" - *Tomb Raider: Unfinished Business!* And *Hyperblade* was also cool! Oh, I have this CD too - 45:00 Descent made me feel so sea-sick I couldn't play it for more than 5 minutes! But graphically it looked very gorgeous! 2:21:55 Aha! Here we go - 2:47:48 The most popular female protagonist in a video game!

Beautiful. Seeing Motorhead box at the end hit me right in the nostalgia gut. Such great memories rocking that game on my old Pentium 233 MMX, Voodoo 3 2000 and 32 Gb of ram. Only thing that I have left from that golden era of PC computing is single photo I cherish to this day.

Can you please post a link with info about the flash storage you used?

One of these running Linux was my daily driver for years.

Prestine Comdition

Wish I had your collection of games Amazing Man !

is it me or does this guy sound just like the host of TechTangents channel but seemingly much more mellow in the voice LOL ok upon scrolling to the end and seeing Rik, def NOT the tech tangents guy but man the accent if you will, maybe its a regional thing

I used to use this for competitive CS

i had a pc similar to this but i think it was a different model number, whats the year of manufacture on this?
