This was a wild ride of a video. The Voodoo 5 being DOA was alarming and nearly derailed the whole project...twice. The Motherboard doesn't seem to support two floppy drives as well. I never had both drives working in it. I still need to do some more testing to figure out if I can put a different BIOS on it to support that properly. I also wanted to show POD running instead of NFS but it has some problems running, especially in Glide mode with the Voodoo5. And another problem was that I couldn't get the gameport on the sound card to work. I need to try using the VXD drivers still to see if that makes a difference.
All those problems aside this computer is really great. I was pushing its backwards compatibility a bit far with MS Flight Sim(only about the top half of the screen is meant to be shown) but a Win98 build like this is great for old games. Sure, you could buy most of these on GOG or use the original disks/discs in a VM. But those make for a pale imitation of the real deal. The struggle is part of the fun, although maybe not recapping a Voodoo 5 level of struggle.
This is going to be the start of a series of videos that will showcase different aspects of building an running an old computer like this. The upcoming videos about the parts I chose will help explain why they are the ones I went with and how well they work. This video was meant to be a cathartic romp of 90's PC nostalgia. There will be a lot more in depth content from this later.

I remember building computers like these back in the day. This video was like going back in a time machine. Thank you for this. I miss those days...
dont cry
in 2005 I still had only dreams of such a beast PC
Are you really Boris? That's so awesome blyat! Always watching good videos of yours thank you so much for quality of contents.
Joseph Lee He is. You see he has a tick next to his name
Man, back in 2011 I still had laptop which barely run Quake 3. All of my friends were playing CoD or BF when I was playing Pinball on Windows XP.
ever played nfs most wanted?
hey boris,are you lost,why u arrived at this video,tovarisch?!?!?!?!
That sound when you turn on your computer on 90s and didn’t realize that was on 85% volume

You did an excellent job! Not just putting the PC together, but you're also talented at putting these videos together and presenting them in an very entertaining and educational way. Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
That motherboard tray is freaking cool. I'm surprised it never became a standard as you said.

user error may lead to critical damage.
Tears came to my eyes. I´m 40 now and I have done this installation a thousand times. Great content. Loved.
Exactly. We had to reinstall Win 98 almost every month or so just making our daily work with no malware, viruses or something harmful. But some of us were smart enough and used NT4.5 ;)

In Russia we had one serial number of windows 98 for whole country))
@@OrangeRocks1986 Windows NT. It was really-really good comparing to Windows for housewives. Then WinNT 5 was converted to Windows 2000 and since then Win is more or less OK.

Exactly!
well in 1998 there was allrdy a shit ton of games exsisting. Even if Half life was one of the best, he still has no time to feature all best games of that time D;

Anyone who is able to pull this off in modern times is a legend
I'm a 13 year old with new aspirations I've bin so blind to all this new tech that I haven't realized how much I loved retro tech thank you
I remember that when I was in grade school we required having our own floppy disk to submit our word text project lol
We did the same!
Lol what a time it was to be alive
Same I did a PowerPoint on Chile that was saved to a floppy
Kids these days will never know that feeling
@@Katarr_Props what is that
oh dear god... the sound of the fan, the booting beep and the opening music ♥
Memories man
beep beep!
lol had such pc(floppy, cd's) almost 20 years ago and still remember this sounds) heh, so many good games)
I have a gaming pc and i have the beep
Pandoxyd the good old days mate, those are the sounds of nostalgia

11:49 my favorite game with my dad!
Star Craft is epic game before dota.
@@mixmixture7049 cool
Did I enjoy it ? You kidding ? This is the most clean video I've ever seen in reviving old PCs : your voice is neutral, the materials are representative, the montage fits perfectly, and the games are the good ones. You make every IT tech proud of being on earth. Thumb up.
How am I the first reply after 11 months of this comment being out
It’s a shame you’re the first one to comment in 11 months since this was a pretty good comment anyway
Speak for yourself.
This guy is an idiot. Who calls AC5 "Modern" TIM.
ROFL, you're just as stupid and uninformed as this loser is. Your opinion means literally nothing. As his does.
Wow that windows98 installation screen takes me back...😅😅
Gawa ka horror story about dito ser neb 😂
that installer fukd my whole life
😂😂
Voodoo wallpaper is soooo 90's
Yeah, takes me back like PTSD. LOL
Man, thank you so much for these nostalgic sounds
Amazing build, and a lot of effort (and investment!) put into this video. Very well done, and very entertaining - thank you!
"Ide cables with master and slave switch"...... that got me crying...... remembering my childhood
master and slave?
...what 😳
And those master & slave jumpers ♥
Damn nostalgie
You shall no longer call them master and slave.
You know...the political correctness and the BLM movement
@@alejandroperez5368 you are right.... i was seriously talking about master and slave "switches" but now i am being charged with political incorrectness because this is 2020 :-P
Imagine those people in their years unboxing that stuff, they're so really happy.
Yeah, I mean his faces was smiling af
I remembered when I was a kid, and my dad brought our first PC. I saw the future in front of me.
@@watanukif1 yeah was pretty cool. We didn't care about 3d until games started using it as part of the sale value. Then we all jumped onboard the graphics / pc race
Fantastic video. It brought so many memories to me. What a beautiful time we had with this PC. Thank you!
This video is really so satisfying. Thank you.
06:13 Man! I am crying hearing those floppy and disk bootup sounds!!!
yeah that was a awesome time. Not to mention the modem dialin sound when conntecting to AOL :D
Tim Vels nothing special my current pc has that sound too 😂
Got that on my ps4
Talked dirty to me
@@WindRipples- :gachiBASS:
Dude. Thank you so much for that, seriously. I was smiling the whole time. That was a major blast in the past from my childhood!
I was born in 1998, didn't have time to try using Windows, how was your experience?
Ditto.
The original Need for Speed brings tears to my eyes... Was such a great game in '95!
i'm so grateful that youtube recommended this video, didn't stop smiling and think about my old pcs. Thank you so much for this, one of the rare videos on youtube that i didn't speed up to 1.5x ou 2x

11:49 I still play that shit today 😅. Evergreen Classic
Absolutely! Me too :)
I'm actually playing it now, the hd edition
I just want to say thank you for the wonderful video. Seeing all those brand new parts took me back to some of my favorite childhood memories of browsing around CompUSA, back when computers were exciting and fresh. Such good times.
How are all of my favorite nostalgic tech channels here??
Yeah, nostalgia always has a strong hold on almost anyone. Well, the fact that computers went obsolete faster than they do today was not that fun, though.
The Nostalgia Mall yessd

Man... All these boxes, all these hardware, are soo familiar to me... I lived this era in plenitude... Tks 4 the this spetacular vid!
Hey ! I just discovered your channel with this video, that’s really amazing ! You do good work I love so much ! Congratulations !
9:00 oh man... I've smiled ear to ear
That magical sound....
Me too, got this feeling...really this music is amazing
Damn starcraft was definitely ahead of its time!
Rey B not really. Warcraft 2 existed, total annihilation, all the great command and conquers, etc. Starcraft was like many other rts games in the 90s
@@lifehackertips r/wooosh
Alot of the games he showed were, and i was astonished by that ._.
Mostly the FPS games were, rts were constant
i like the way he presented his content, voice is friendly. and content is something i can relate to. subbed and imma watch your other vids
I'm in awe of your beige tower, and when you pulled out that motherboard tray. That was the stuff back in the day!🤩
8:58 that GLORIOUS sound, I've missed it so much D:
shut up man, u are prob 2005
boomer
Bro you always got VM's to relive that memory :)
@Cristian Balacescu someone is mad lol
Alen You certainly have issues. Parents not love you enough, huh?
The removable motherboard tray is such a good idea, why was it abandoned? Not only is it convenient, but it also gives you a test bench to make sure everything works without having to install it all into an awkward to fit case and then uninstall everything again to fix it. Perhaps the modern day coolers just make this kind of design unergenomical.
cost, some higher end cases do have a removable MB tray
Probably because without the motherboard tray the case is flimsy and flexes a lot. Most cases nowadays are made out of thin aluminium sheets while back then cases were much more rigid and robust, made out of 1.5mm+ thick steel.
funny, all my pc cases are a piece of wood.. why.. you dont even need a case. :-)
Oh man, thx for that. Amazing memories with W98... nice video! hugs from Brazil.
I miss the sound coming out of the 90s PCs.. and that awesome WIndows 98 intro music, thanks for not skipping any if that XD
This is so cool. 20 year old computer- still better at gaming than a brand new macbook.
I expected some mac lovers to hate you but i dont See any... thats weird
Here buddy I'll do it for you...My 2009 mac pro is a better gaming pc than most gaming pc's lol
Cause the macbook is made for works and software shits.
@@killer268 thanks
not really lol. unless you have windows on it, and have upgraded your gpu.
9:00 I felt I travelled back in time when I heard this sound, I feel nostalgic!
Fr dude!
What sound is that?
GrandeGio What do you think it is? It’s the start-up sound for Windows 98, second only to the sound of Windows 95.
Those careless childhood times. It is really travel back in time. I remembered all those times with details
@@arif1984may it was very good time! (((
Oh my, this video brings so much back to memory. I was a teen ager in the late 90s and 100% of what was in this video is what drew me into computers back then.
You have brought back so many memories for me!
This brings back memories
Ayy you helped me with pc problems. Thanks man

Feel just like yesterday..

Getting the parts must of took a lifetime appreciate the hard work put into this video
Love that case. I built an Athlon based Win 98SE system not so long ago. Getting it up and running was troublesome, but worth it. Helps to have all the drivers beforehand.
10:40 sound design at its finest. Just a guy humming the z sound.
Hahaha
If you have any questions about this build ask away! I will be doing a QA follow up video for this project.
Not exactly a question about the build, but was the music at 9:06 actually coming from the window that popped up, or added in afterwards? And regardless, do you know if there is any way to find that song and listen to it?
This sounds like it would be a fun machine to stick a spare drive into and run some old malware. Though with that Intel chipset I might be wary of trying CIH...
Mc Rex: u.lewd.se/kY4Kkt_welcom98.wav
AkBKukU: Where did you find this awesome case? Just like you, I love those full tower cases, but in my entire life, I've seen maybe two of them IRL :
@MC Rex That's question would be out of place in the Q&A so I'll answer it here. That is the music for the welcome screen. I never actually had the speakers hooked up in the video. I recorded the audio directly through my mixer to get it and the mics as one source. I suppose you could listen to it here: czcams.com/video/QNjtD2VnTeY/video.html because I used the track as the music for the trailer for this video. I'm not sure if there is a longer version.
It's not a question, but I had this nice feeling when New CRT monitor was unpacked. And when whole machine started working it was huge "Aaaawwww!" for me, Yeah, I'm a sucker for these old computers. Brings me the memories of playing some games at my dad's work when he was on the overnight shift and I went there at the evening to play some games on that office machine. And when later I got my own computer. But that was when I was in a high school in 2002 already - way past this era.
Thanks for the window into the past! I started fiddling with computers in 1987, and I haven't stopped!
Aside from Doom, Command and Conquer was my favorite!
Great video, thank you for the wonderful memories! :) So much I'd forgotten about it!

@@bilal_mirai no I’m telling them they translated it correctly
@@bilal_mirai oh wait your talking about that comment, yeah google translate has worked fine for English, but it seems to be way more difficult for English to be translated to Arabian or whatever.
I watched this in 144p just for the effect
Back then the standard was 480p boio
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaaa!!! I hope the effect was more than u were expecting ;-)
ahhahahah xd
Awesomeness Plays for pc at that time? 480p is low res. Common is 1024x768 at 100hz. And if I remember correctly, year 2000 I was using 24" 1200p crt monitor. And that's the reason why most gamer back then were very late to adopt LCD screen. LCD were Low res and low fps.
well, i mean still MOST were using CRT's until like maybe(?) windows 7. But yeah now the standard is 720 or 768 or mostly 1080/1440
Great video! Thanks for sharing! It brought back a lot of memories from that time period. I worked a lot with Intel boards a lot during that time because they were quite stable and reliable for the corporate world. It was fun to see one being built again. I agree that the Inwin Q500 was an amazing case! I think I had 2 or 3 of them at different times. Still have one in storage.
I'm surprised that you put the CD drive and the hard drive on the same ribbon. PATA can only run as fast as the slowest device. Most CDs were usually capped at ATA/33 while the newer hard drives could go as high as ATA/133. This motherboard was capped out at ATA/100, but with that 80 conductor ribbon, you could definitely get more performance out of it with the CD drive on the secondary IDE interface.
Thank you sir for childhood memories ❤
Removable motherboard tray? 3DGAMEMAN's wet dream right there.

A tech video in 2018 that uses the phrase “newer floppy drive”...
I was surprised he even bothered to put in the 5¼ floppy. I remember it being completely obsolete by '98.
3d printed save icon
@@TMeskanen I believe the first two games he tested required the 5¼ bay.
But yes, even back in '97 and '98 it was considered mainly obsolete, save for a few older applications.
Well from what I recall, 5 1/4” were “floppy discs” and 3 1/2” were “micro discs” but because everyone had been used to calling squares or memory discs encased in plastic “floppy discs” they just kept calling them “floppy” until even the manufacturers begin to call them “3 1/2” floppy discs” even though there was obviously nothing floppy about them save for the film the memory writes to.
What a blast from the past. Thank you for taking the time to make this video & sharing it with us.
Just found your channel. Excellent content. Another sub for you sir!
This was so pleasing to watch! I would have to build this machine a clear dust cabinet made from polycarbonate to minimise UV exposure too. Thank you for the nostalgia! 😊

I can't believe I tripped over this channel. I just built a windows 98 machine on Saturday in the exact NIB case I found at a mom and pop computer store in my area. They have a second one still there.
The flashbacks I had watching this. The sounds and sights bring me back to the good old days. And it also reminds me of how plug and play pcs was back then. I was only 7 around then, but I have fond memories from watching my father tinkering with the pc and me helping.
Watching StarCraft being played on an actual old looking computer brings back so many memories..

Greetings from South Korea. The magnificent Voodoo 5500 was my favorite VGA of all time. Around 2000 it was so fun to build a new PC. Thank you for taking me back to the era.
Good recommendation by YT. I like specially the case where you can remove the mobo area. It is much easier to clean and also for troubleshooting unlike the new ones that are so cramped that it feels like it's the mobo area with a cover. Hope that casing will make a comeback. 😁
Will you do one of these for Windows XP 20th Anniversary in 2021??
can you do it early please?

Neat editing! Looking forward to the next parts :)
A part of me has died seeing all that new stuff from 20 years ago being opened.
Why would that make you sad? All those untouched parts finally getting used after 20 years instead of rotting away in storage or a landfill. Wonderful. Makes me want to dig out some of my old components and do this myself.
@@nocilol3000 Preservation, the more of the items that are opened, the less common it is to find new components, items that are 20 years old that aren't being sold anymore aren't that common anymore, so it's why I feel kinda sad seeing precious brand new tech being used where today's technology puts this stuff to shame and it's seen as a relic.
@@potatolol4579 but he put every part to good use and built an old - new beige tower that should last for a very long time!
Same
Normally I would also cringe at someone opening something that has been sealed (and thus well-preserved) for so long.
However, unlike all those people out there who do it just for the "unboxing" experience, this guy actually gave these components the life they have never had.
And thus, unlike with most other video's, I do not mind him unboxing these relics.
Sound Blaster those where HQ audio cards along with Cambridge Soundworks speaker set. And that Voodoo graphics card. Such a dream PC
This warmed my heart.
