Rebuilding my Windows 98 Pentium III+Voodoo3 PC! 

Wow, best $10 ever spent. That receipt should be framed and put into a museum.

I really appreciate the effort spent on keeping and upgrading something you're not really fond of but has a personal significance. It's funny how we assign value to inanimate objects after we've used them for a long time.

"Hey babe... what are you watching?" "Guy bathe a computer case." "...again? Its that LGR guy..." "Yeah, him."

You're like the Bob Ross of Computers and I love listening to your videos while I draw. :)

Wow. That green color really works for a PC. Almost a British racing green.

Just finished watching this together with my mom. All her memories of building PC's round about the mid 90s till early 2000s came back and we had a great time. Thanks LGR :)

Awe shit, my wife just walked in on me watching a video of a guy giving a PC tower a bath. She said nothing, but has the look of someone who's realized they made a lot of mistakes in their life.

"Thats some nice wood" 2 seconds later "oh man" - My sexlife described in 2 quotes, thank you LGR.

"LED lighting? Nah, that would be too stupid". Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.

> "I'm not going Druaga1 on this" > Replaces HDD with SD card 2 minutes later.

You want to talk about janky cases - the last PC I built is in a cardboard box. And I don't mean in pieces. Everything is bolted to the cardboard like a normal case. It was meant as a temporary home before going into a custom arcade that I never got around to. Now the entire thing could be powered by a Raspberry Pi, so the cardboard box PC remains.

The "does my computer need a..." section felt very RCR-ish. Love it!

"Does my computer need a doorbell?" YES! "Does my computer need a washing machine?" YES! "Does my computer need a this thing?" PROBABLY NOT BUT THROW IT IN ANYWAY!

Mr Moneybags over here with his "extra bathroom" and "storms"

3:00: the "Network Neighborhood" was my favorite LGR episode!!

It's always nice to see someone work on old tech and still appreciate it's significance after all this time :)

The internet is filled with videos of people bathing their pets, so on LGR we get a segment of Clint lovingly washing a PC case in his bath!

Beginning of this made me nostalgic for old LGR reviews. When I first started watching this channel a few years ago or so, I went back and watched the backlog of videos. Started with the Dos reviews. Now I kinda wanna go back and marathon some again

i absolutely love these old computer build videos, you really should do more of them!

@14:53 "aw man" That made me lol harder than it should have

This turned out bad ass bro. That case badge is freakin AWESOME.

21:36 A board that supports up to 1'5 gig, but still mounts an ISA slot. Such a freaking rare sight!!!

This really got me inspired, I have basement full of old computer parts, I can definitely build a few setups with those. I never thrown any parts for the last 15 years, hoping one day I'll put them to use. Awesome, great content man!!

@22:24 I love how the list for the clock multiplier settings says "Pentium !!!"

omg

Haha, I was just as puzzled and annoyed about that SD card Adapter. I contacted the seller, but it was all lost in translation. One alternative is using one of these 5.25 HDD drive bays. Put the SD Card Adapter in there. It's quite convenient as you can access it from the front.

That trip to Home Depot has some serious Regular Car Review vibes!

I just love your channel. It’s fascinating. Thank you for this awesome video Clint :-)

This turned out so perfect.

28:01 I see I'm not the only one who watches Druaga1. Neat.

The pc speaker breaking was the highlight of my 2020 so far. It's been a year. Thank you for the content lgr.

Awesome video. brought back some memories of good times messing with computer hardware. And I like the new paint job.

No matter how old the system is , Building a PC is always a joy to me.

"Im not going with SSDs" 5 minutes later "Screw it." *installs SD card

Clint, I am so excited, I bought myself a Pentium III for Christmas and it arrived today! This has long since been one of my favorite LGR videos, so when I scoped out that Pentium IIIs were very, very affordable on eBay, I picked one up. I don't have a use for it right now, so I am just going to display it on my shelf, but eventually I hope to cobble together a turn-of-the-millennium PC.

That finish is really nice. Reserved, not too out of it, classy. It really was a pleasure watching this. I wonder how difficult it is now to find matching components to build a retro pc. I remember from back when that parts were not that plug and play as nowadays.

14:54 XD

Ma boy Druaga1 got mentioned and that's all I need

I can't explain it but I find LGR hardware videos oddly relaxing.... I've watched this video a couple times because I enjoy your monologue... Keep up the good work!

Very relaxing video and takes me back when i'm still learning about pc hardware.

Yes! 40 Minutes of messing around with an old PC :3 Day is saved

Bro, I aint never gonna get tired of watching you screw.

I just wanted to say thanks for posting all these videos - I have 2 old late 90's PCs from an abandoned hall that was due to be demolished, and they were running but not displaying. Through watching these I was able to get one running and I now know the second probably won't because the PSU looks ruined, but that's okay. It's been a fun project and I hope to pick up many more, although I think it'll take some time because I haven't found it easy to find a lot of older computers and parts here in NZ!

The end result man.....its so late 90's i see that pc with those speakers and that screen saver and i think,man......that is my late 90's room...you manage to bring back that feeling so well in just building a pc. My respects as usual!!!!!

I have an acquaintance who I would say must be around 80yrs old , he is an ex computer engineer from Hong Kong and his daily driver computer is a pentium 3 tower , 933mhz, the video card is a pci nvidia 8400gs, he runs windows7 on it, I asked him why not get a new computer and he says that it does everything he needs to do.

Working on these old cabinets always felt like going into battle. You knew you'd come out scarred and blood would be shed, no matter how careful you were. I remember one day at work, I had been switching components in an old machine, and a short while later I was walking around with a piece of paper to take some notes. Then I noticed this big blob of blood on the paper. My hand was literally dripping blood, running blood down my finger, and I hadn't noticed the cut! It was just there! Out of nowhere. Man, old cabinets dude. Love this video! Brings back memories.

I gotta say, your channel has been a pleasant surprise for me. It brings me back to a time when I first started tinkering with tech, sometimes I just binge your content on my commute. Is that Odd? Oh well!

Nice I have an old motherboard at home, this video has inspired me to search for the components that go with it and make a retro build. Nice videos man 👍!

The original state of the computer is just like my XP build. Over the years I also added fans to the outside of the case to improve airflow and custom stickers that matched with the current trends at the time. A few years ago I added a "Virtual Boy Ready" sticker as the Oculus Rift first became popular. I'm particularly proud of the Led light strips I have in it to shine through the case to give a red glow behind the fans to make it look like it's overheating.

Hunter green Flecktone paint is VERY late 90's early 2K's. I approve.

Really cool video, I didn't realize this video was 5 years old by now but A+ for consistency.

Man this is therapeutic and nostalgic wrapped in pleasantness.

The only thing i didnt know i needed in my day was watching LGR giving a striped down computer case a bath! Yeay my life is complete now!

This Windows 98 Startup sound and autorun music... **cries**

I'm glad you filmed this because this was very similar to one of my computers back then. I completely understand the reasoning.

Oh man, just found this channel, its like going back to the past... so nostalgic... thank you man

I should have invested in beige plastic trees in the early 90's.

38:33 Watching that maze, feeling nostalgic, I just now noticed that it always goes left on the sand and when it flips at those hexagonal blue blobs to the stone floor it always goes right 😂

There is something really relaxing and comforting about these videos ha ha

What a great video all my memories in 1 video Thanks

Aw, that W98 over-produced intro track. Nostalgia'd hard on that one.

Looks good! I'd plastic-dip the monitor and everything to have a nice matched set.

Great video! Brings back a lot of memories.

really enjoy your rebuilds great work

A Pentium 3 - 800MHz was my first PC I built ever when I was 12. This is amazing

Athlon in a slot!. That's really purging my nostalgia glands. Oooohhh.

I like this video so much, i watched it twice in a week, thanks LGR👌🏻

Awesomeness this brings back memories when I used to build computers with my dad in the 90's

That Slot A motherboard has bulging capacitors, it might be salvageable! Those LGR case badges are awesome.

This video makes me want to build an early 2000’s PC! LOL! You know what? I might even do it!

I love the "Fraiser" styled bg music...lol. Retro PC ASMR...hahaha..Awesome vid.

lovely... this takes me back! those IRQ conflicts were always fun as I also had an Adapter SCSI card for a NEC 4x CDROM

The Sounds brings back Memories ;)

Oh, I love this. Reminds me my late childhood and teens. I ran an Athlon 550MHz, 312MB RAM, and a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 16MB. In a big beige box :') I played Age of Empires II, Colin McRae. I changed the graphic card for a Radeon 7000 64MB for Medal of Honor. Good time. Thanks!

maaaan, I loved that op system. Love the intro sound, the icons, the colors, the primitive design. I was growing up on that system.

Thanks for that. I reminds of the days when I used to mess around with the computer. In 2005 I bought a laptop and lost all the knowledge I had gained. Thanks for the retro memories. :-)

Hopefully this means more game reviews of the late 90's period. Me being a giant car nerd I'd love to see some stuff like a Test Drive 4 review done in the style of your modern reviews, or NFS 2-5, stuff like that! That almost British Racing Green paintjob for your computer though is looking real nice, I must say.

YOU'RE AWESOME CLINT👍👍👍👍

Love it!! Very inspiring video, my first pc I owned was P200MMX 64RAM , 250HDD, S3 Virge 4MB and Voodoo 1. I played first unreal game which I bought like 3 months before I have my pc hehe. Now I thinking ti make similar pc to Yours P3 and Voodoo 3 for my 90s retro gaming :)

Awesome pc done! The color of the case reminds of Orcish armor from Daggerfall =))) Thank you for the video!

great vid i love your vids like this. Windows 95 is what i use for retro gaming.

That looks like an NEC case, my daughter has one that looks almost identical. We cut a side panel and installed a plexiglass window as well as painting the inside black and the outside purple.

LGR, thanks for your videos! its just so cool to know others had a similar childhood of building tweaking and playing games on our PCs... PC Gamers had to be on top of things to play games on potatoes :-D

This is absolutely the best. Thanks for the build :)

14:44 - Linus is sad

What a dream machine it was in early 2000's!

Thanks LGR this was very cool.

I never thought when i was watching an LGR episode. Druaga1 would be mentioned. LGR, you're amazing.

A Maxtor that still works? Amazing. That is a rare find indeed.

You mentioned Druaga1, nice to see you have seen him 28:00

I love this stuff. You did an amazing job. I'm going to spray paint all my old pcs

The day you recorded this was my birthday!

14:42 I hear that pocketful of sunshine playing in the background

"she's free" actually she is priceless, you couldnt give it away :D

you inspired me to build a P-II 400 rig just to play old emulator callus. you`re the best man.

love your vids got me back into some of the old school tech, just rebuilt my athlon xp system, aquired a dell p75 labtop bought a panasonic kxld745 external pcmcia scsi drive that also is a sound card

I just searched around the windows folder on Windows 10, and there still some MIDI files there, Onestop.mid is just AWESOME, when played on WinAmp.

I'll just go ahead and thumbs-up this one before watching it

nice! had a similar system with a voodoo 3 back in 99. Loving the green finish :)
