Note: All computers received will have their drives appropriately wiped to respect the original owner's privacy :) Today we're looking at a bunch of old computers I got from a local recycler. They will definitely need a clean and restorations in future videos. Let's see exactly what I got :) #retro #computer #desktops

2:15 that VGA Port is just rusty from the RTX Level performance it’s been pushing out 👌
Aye, didn’t know you was a fan of the channel
Hi budget builds
Good channel

Silence scammer 😎 ^ (Edit: Scammer comment got deleted after posting)
Nathan is so kind, I wish there were more people like him in this world
It is true
Thanks man

@@thephoenixking1086 I know lol, just that my name is Nathan and he was calling me very kind
I meant the WhatsApp comment above saying people have won.
I have seen it a few times in these comments, they have set their profile to like like the official one to try trick people.
Those CREATIVE Cd drives brings back a lot of memories, they were the bomb, headphone jack, track no and remote!
I love how you managed to salvage these old PCs mate! I love these old PCs too, unfortunately it’s hard to find them in my area, let alone recycling centers 😅
@Old laptop collector please report that imposter
@@TheKDKCollector done. When the imposter is sus😳😳
@Old laptop collector you are fake
I love recycling. I have found ALL my pcs there and the amount of consoles are astonishing
It's awesome that you are rescuing these old computers! Glad to know they will be properly repaired and cared for
I kinda miss these days of system builder PCs when everyone had their own weird case and motherboard designs.
Wow. Really? I didn’t know that was a thing. I just got into PC building 8 months ago, so my apologies it this sounded amateur
Until someone had a front power switch button fail & finding a replacement was next to impossible.
Build your own PC in those days and you were stuck with that ancient layout where the only built-in connector was the keyboard and everything else was a cumbersome breakout cable or an expansion card. Buy from a big brand and you got a case designed for ONE motherboard and one motherboard only, probably can't even swap it with a better board from the same brand. There's some charm to it, but I sure am glad ATX and its derivatives came along.
seeing you clean and restore these machines is so satisfying as hell, i am so onboard
Got to say the Acer case is original and sleek, clearly standing up from the beige box crowd. The Dell machine also has quite a recognizable design, but is maybe a notch below. The boxy machines are very cool as nostalgia-inducers in their own right, but guess they objectively pale in comparison, although the Hyundai is a bit in the middle, sort of on the boxy side, but with a design language of its own.
It's nice that you prevent electronics from E-Waste.
Yeah but it still is a waist what r u gonna do with the shitty old computerz
@@tknight2235 keep them from landfills
@@tknight2235 old electronics are valuable for retro collectors, maybe you can make a sleeper pc by modifying these cases. Imagine a 3090 sitting in a 1980 case LOL
@@tknight2235 play some games that cannot run on modern pc
@@MTN1601 Yeah but why do u want to play those games when you can play them on one more powerful old pc
**Windows 98 installation is corrupted**
The serviceman: It is obviously the CPU. What else?
Cash Convertor and consorts technicians are a joke. I don't count anymore the "faulty" machines I've bought in their shops for a couple of yens and the problem was just a crashed OS.
Congratulations on 200k
I have a Pentium 1 in the same case as @4:33. Great tip for cleaning grime from the front panel, put the front plastic panel in the dishwasher.
Brother I am your new subscriber from INDIA. I like you old computer restoration because I love old technology. Very very nice job.
I had a computer in a case just like that one from cashies. Mine was from A&R, you might remember them, but I doubt they are related. 3:14 That sticker has something to do with Apple computers sold to schools. Every 90s Mac i've come across with a school's asset tag has also had this sticker. No idea what it means though. And that dongle sticking out of the back is probably a software key, a popular form of anti-piracy. Also, tell those guys at ERA to actually put stuff on their web store. Thanks...
Awesome. Can't wait for the follow ups. Looks very promising 👌👍
Wow, god bless you for saving these machines. Hopefully A.I. will spare us after knowing there are people like you. Really looking forward to the restorations!
The amount of PCs you have at this point must be real nuts! :)
i'm so glad i discovered you in my feed. this is great content!
‘The Turbo button’ is so nostalgic. I remember using my friend’s PC of this era to do my assignment.
Oh I'd love to get my hands on a Win95-machine like that you have. I have to ask around again and again at recycling departments with no luck. Treat it - or rather them all - well!
Always look forward to your videos Nathan, didn't disappoint as usual!
Oh yeah, I am hyped for the following videos!! 😍😍
Cool! Looking forward to some future videos!
2:06 - This would most likely set people off who suffer Trypophobia (Fear of clusters of objects such as holes and bombs).
Strange why they went with this design, though I suppose this was many years before people started getting fears of anything.
I wish the world was full of people like you! Great content as always Nathan!
nathan, you're vids are so therapeutic for me! just want to say thanks :)
Great haul. Looking forward to the resto videos.
Looking forward to a couple of interesting videos on these machines 😊
These videos are so entertaining and fun to watch, keep up the great work! 👍
cant wait for videos on these machines!! keep up the good content bro!
Before you wipe the hard drives, remember to backup the drivers! It'll save you some headache. finding drivers for those old machines in this day is close to impossible. I speak from experience.
Last time I went to the recycling center I picked up two 8-bit Nintendos, an IBM Aptiva 2420 and an IBM model 30. Both IBM's work. One NES I managed to save, the second one was beyond repair so I built a Mini ITX PC in it instead. One man's trash is another man's treasure
Great man never forgot love you're work ❤
Yeah I'm definitely subbing, can't wait to see all these restorations! :)
Nathan is so kind keep up the good work
im glad there people saving these old machines. just because it isnt the latest and greatest doesnt mean it should be thrown away.
Great find. At least here in Canada old DOS capable machines are making a comeback and are worth alot of money for vintage DOS gaming. The Hypertec features a Pentium S according to the BIOS which is something I have never heard of and I have been using computers since I got an Apple II GS. A 386 was my first IBM compatible (that is a term you don't see anymore.).
I am glad that you are keen enough to save those computers from scrap.
Thank you for saving the old computers because I like to save old things!!
WOW.... can't wait for the videos on these ones
So many great videos to come in the future 👌
Awesome! On the NEC system, it might be worth talking to Mr Lurch on CZcams. Perhaps you two could colab! He'll give you a few pointers on older systems like that I'm sure... and he's also from down under :)
Awesome video!!
Best informing video thank you sir for informing us and letting us know!
Speaking of the APC: Maybe You should contact "The 8-Bit Guy". He might've a CGA Monitor to help You out with. Also he could take a Deep Dive on the Machine itself and also try some Repairs, if needed and/or possible.
He lives in Dallas, Texas, USA. Imagine how much shipping would cost 😳
I was rewatching a bunch of your videos yesterday hoping that I get to see a new one soon xD
Can't wait to see these old beasts get restored!
It's nice seeing a local e-waster recycler keep a hold of these old beasts for ya, they need to be preserved!
Brooooo these computers are sick. You lucky bugger! Nice vid, thanks for sharing
i work at an electronics recycler, really wish i had the time to make videos out of some of the stuff i find lol
CPM&S (sometimes stylised as CPMS) I believe is "Computer Programs, Machines & Service". They were a computer reseller and service provider here in SA that sold heavily into business and education, and they seemed to stick those stickers on just about every machine they sent out. I actually still work with a couple of ex-CPM&S technicians, so I might be able to find out more info if needed.
I recently sold on a Macintosh SE that featured their earlier sticker and still had their customized install of System 6 on the drive, with the long-form name of the acronym above in place of the "Welcome to Macintosh" screen.
Pleased some machines were rescued - I see these old boxes going into recycling from time to time and always attempt to rescue them whenever possible. Would've been a shame to see some of those shredded, especially the NEC; those old Japanese machines are seriously cool.
That NEC computer at the end must be very rare nowadays, I wonder why would anyone throw away something like this, people collecting computers of this era would probably pay quite some money for something like this… Hope you’ll be able to get it working.
Nice retro PC!
More recycled computers = More entertainment from psivewri
Nice, Mate! Keep up the Good Work! ❤👍🏻
Just picked up a Hypertec HyperFormance series 1 witch matching CRT. So glad someone has covered this company as I was struggling to find any information about it.
sheesh that was such a smooth sponsor transition!
2:06 TRIGGERED MY TRYPOPHOBIA! I AM STILL SHUDDERING!
Edit: Sorry for caps
4:57 good old hammer to protect whatever was in there 😅
Thats insane that such a pc cost 3000-6000$ in the 90s but now you can buy them for 50-500 $
Howdy fellaw, I worķ for ERA and I've kept aside a few of these pc's. I've also gotta few killer old school ones.
The end credits music is awesome
Fun Fact: This was posted around the same time I saved a Pentium 2 Windows ME Computer from going to the tip. It was just sitting on the side of the road for collection.
This Acer looks so cool
I had the same Acer aspire when I was younger as my first ever PC running windows 95, then later 98SE. I remember playing lemmings and duke nukem on this machine.
fun fact, there’s USB ports under that square panel on the back. I used one of them to power USB speakers.
Oh boy, what a time to be alive looking back 🤩
Keep doing gods work Nathan
new sub lol
i love vintage pc from the 80s
That NEC is a piece of history. 1984 was the infancy years of the x86 PC, definitely worth a restoration!
It’s amazing to me that people just throw out computers that still function. Like maybe I’m just a pack rat but I always only imagined people throwing out old tech if it was broken/didn’t turn on at all and they didn’t know how to or couldn’t fix it. And that’s coming from someone that isn’t good with tech maintenance myself.
I was also able to salvage an old pentium 4 pc that was stashed away at the back of the office where I work. Always felt good to clean, restore and get that old pc working. I was also able to add an agp video card which i had from 2004 from my old computer from college. It was fun to play those old games. Nostalgia trip from my college days :-D
Wow! I had the P1, 90MHz version of that Acer! It was the first computer that I bought new, as opposed to being a hand-me-down. A buddy and I would play Warcraft 1 over null modem! Hit me hard in the nostalgia seeing you open that up...
Love your content! Will you be doing a video about how your laptop has done for your workflow since you've swithced to it?
Yay you saved them:)
You should make a stonk market for having all these computers!
SUCH A BIG FAN
"Nec APC III" is absolute miracle.
Wow! The sponsor ad transition was smooth
3:15 i remember that stick on pc's when I was at school in the 80s and 90s
Good work
Nice video!
Psivewri ……. The saviour of computers!
nice retro pcs keep it up :D
That’s awesome 🤟🏼🤟🏼
I love it when you say Compooter
one correction, technically Hypertec were not a manufacturer, rather they were an assembler of components. the only thing they manufactured but was probably done by a third party was the badge
Wowww... a lot of old computers! Waiting for de Acer, totally diferent machine for 90s commom computers.
200k pog👀
Good Job Bro
Great video! I...admit I still have my 386. It weighs at least 20 pounds, and was seemingly built to last until 2001! It clicks when it boots up.
Trailers, I can hardly wait for the videos.
I hope you can make a video for each of these old PCs, restoring them. I would like these restoration videos to be a little longer than what you usually do, 15-20 minutes would be a more than acceptable time for each video
Oh boy does that flat dell bring back memories.
That was the first PC we ever had when I was about 10 years old.
There were some offices that were getting rid of these in big quantities and you could pick them up cheap.
As a kid I played so many games on that thing and the occasional book report. It came with this massive matching CRT screen that weighed more than I did.
No idea what happened to it, we probably threw it out. Wish I still had that around!
I had one of those green Acer systems back in the day when it was new :)
3:20 im pretty sure thats a hardware license dongle
The second one brings back memories. Used to have the same green Acer Aspire at home, complete with matching 15" screen, keyboard and mouse.
It came with a Pentium 200, 64 mb of RAM, 2 gb hard disk and a S3 graphics card. Probably a Trio or a Virge. It ran Windows 2000 Professional SP4 beautifully.
Bought it from a friend who got it from a local bank when they upgraded their PC's.
So much beige. I love it.
Maybe a cga to vga device could help you with the older pc.
Great findings, I hope you can restore these computers.
My first personal computer was the horizontal Dell OptiPlex GX1. I've been trying to find out what computer it was for days now. then this video pops up in the suggested. im glad im subbed to you
That 30 year old PC may never of had a hard drive. First family PC that was from 86 didn't have a hard drive when we first got it and needed to use floppy disk to boot. Such an interesting haul.
Man the ACER is nice!
