Pentium 4 and the Dazzle device - Windows XP build  

I remember seeing those dazzles a long time ago and wanting one so bad as a kid.

at my job, we use dazzle to capture audio directly from the soundboard to the pc in web conferences using RCA/P10, it still works very well today, in the past we used it with the polycom hdx 9000

2:12 - i875 was a higher-end variant of i865, released around the same time. One significant difference was PAT memory mode, but some i865 motherboards also allow to run this mode, so it doesn't really matter. funfact: despite higher number, i875 is older than 865 by one month :)

This is one of the reasons why I keep my Old machines around. I LOVE using Porsche design - Pinnacles s-VHS capture devices. I was able to capture video at the HIGHEST bit rate & color space possible to squeeze every last minutia of analog data from the tapes I was capturing I also still have a almost new Firewire Dazzle device I have still to use, but will in the future. If you have old Tapes this is the ticket, then take it into a modern machine to upscale all the footage . (Its getting better every year) Now the next best thing? There are some CCTV systems that let you capture analog video even at S-VHS resolutions. But they are far from ideal for color compared to these older capture cards. The only thing I really kick myself buying was OTA capture card that worked with windows Media Center. Never did I get around to using it. Would have been fun.

Love that green case.

holy shit i saw that thumbnail and went "I HAVE ONE OF THOSE" I still use one of those old Dragon ripoff Antec cases for my modern ryzen 7000 rig

Good ol' Chieftec Dragon Fulltower! Had one in the early 2000s. :)

I have that same Green Dragon case since 2001 that I keep upgrading and I have 2 Black Dragon cases and another black Raidmax Scorpio I keep because they are my favorite style cases.

Never had a custom back in those days, but I did have this 1999 business style Dell Dimension with a 1000Mhz Pentium 3 and 2x256k SD Ram, it was an absolute beast for the time period and I added an AGP GPU- GeForce 3 Ti 500 and a Ethernet card in it later on and I used to play Everquest on it all the way up to 2004 and I can't remember something died on it, I think it was the HDD. in 2004 I had an HP with a Pentium 4 NT 3.0 GHz, but it wasn't till 2007 and windows 7 that I actually built a custom computer myself. My current build in 2024 is a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, MSI MAG X670E Tomahawk 32GB DDR5 6400 and an RTX 4080, so yes I'm still building them folks, but my my how times have changed!

Cool

Thought this was an Alienware at first, as their "Cyborg Green" was very popular back then. You could search for 'Area 51 Chieftec' if you're curious, but this one is probably just the "Chieftec" part.

A neat build!👍👍 I would increase the ram to 4 gig., XP will see 3 and a bit, or add two 512 mb., ram modules to bring the total to 3 gig,.

Nice, been a while since i saw those, and the DC10/30 and DV's. Pretty common back when analogue video was still a thing. As for XP boxes, I'd keep an eye out for old Core i3/i5 2nd/3rd gen "office machines" from HP and Fujitsu in case you find them at "bargain prices", as they make amazing XP (and W7) machines, with lots of "free goodies" like DDR3, SATA and IGP in case you don't have any gfx card around..

Jigga Bite That had me on a stretcher 😂

i also have a 3.2 ghz pentium 4 in it.

i have the antec performance 2 case that's just like this one but no plexiglass panel just a solid panel.

I wonder if this computer can Run Half Life 2

Please note that the G in Gigabyte is not pronounced like a J! It is pronounced the same as the G in the words go, got, give, etc.

mine works fine in win10 and OBS... maybe its because i have the red one?

I have that thing lying right here but it's a red version :/

the dazzle works fine in win11, just do a little research.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CR3iyWV4fPE.html there's modern drivers for that DVC100, i have the red one and i use mine with OBS and Windows 10, and some of my latest vids are me showing it off. i do hand it off to you, as i do have a USB capture card that cant work past Win7 32 bit, so i have it running with a Win7 laptop (dual core, its an Adaptec Gamebridge, it also wont work in Linux). But yeah these DVC100's are able to work with Win10 and proper drivers. you will get better results with better hardware. Mine works like a dream and even upscales nicely. PS with OBS, you will need to get into the capture card settings and enable the audio in the DVC100 settings on that lil bar below the preview display, if you dont do it you wont get any sound.

its not ziga hertz
