A very beautiful early 1999 gaming PC.

Had a K6-2/350, then a k6-3/450! Fun times!

This AMD K6 2 400 was my  first PC that i biult myself with windows 98 with 2 gb HDD cd burner and a 3d fx graphics card also an internal card for dvd playing as it was possible with out it. luved it! thanks for reminding me.

The first pc I built was a AMD K6-200 with 16mb ram in 1995, I only had it two weeks before I sold it to a friend and built another one. I must have built hundreds of systems since then.

Wish i had room for more computers in my home 😀

Wish i could remember the full specs of my first PC. It was the summer of '99 in Romania and my parents made a huge financial effort to buy it. I know it was an AMD K6-2-350, i think it had 32MB of RAM, some HDD, might have been 4GB, an ATi 2MB video card, a 14" display, have no idea what motherboard, sound card, speakers, case or PSU were. This video brought some Sunday afternoon nostalgia, thank you ! :)

what a beautiful case🤩

Wow. This takes me back. It's my first computer.

Many cases come with a nifty little "adapter" that has a star head and can be used to tighten standoffs. It's wise to tight them good as you don't want to unscrew them when swapping boards out.

I really enjoy videos about vintage computers... I remember my first computer, 486 DX4, 16mb RAM, 640mb HDD, Graphics is a 2mb Trident 9660... I play Duke Nukem for a longggggg time!

Love the new vid - it's computer building ASMR. 👍 Looks like you could use a front panel USB/card reader in one of the 5.25 slots.

For memory sticks, you can clean the pins with a white STAEDTLER eraser and after with rubbing alcohol.  Most times they work after.  Keep up the good work.  :)

A well presented video and a tall but neat build!👍👍 I recall using Windows 98 se., on a Compaq desktop pc., and it worked fairly well, but it could be unstable at times and defragmenting the hard drive took a very long time even when it was done regularly, then I learned to use XP., and that was a vast improvement at the time even though it had it's glitches sometimes.

Another great vid!!..  man I have to find some time to get my Dell Dimension tower from 1998 up and running with my Voodoo card!

Awesome build, nice work. Is a very nice machine for DOS and late 90's Windows games. 256MB DIMM probably too large to work reliably on that board though - that amount of memory would have been almost unheard of back in 98/99 for a regular PC! The missing devices are probably as you didn't add the VIA ChipSet drivers. Without those it probably doesn't have the driver for the AGP so the Voodoo is probably operating in PCI mode...

I love the builds on channels like these, I often recreate them as close as possible in PCem, as I am doing now, as I watch this. :D

My first modern machine and my first fully custom new (Mostly) PC (Circa 1998) was an AMD-K6-2, 266 OCed@ 350MHz with 64MB RAM, 5.3GB WD HDD and a S3 Trio 64, Soundblaster 2.0 and Windows 95OSR2, good ol Tiger Direct. ( I convinced the secretary to allow me to borrow the Windows disk from the school, No 3D accelerator though as a High-school kid, PC built with my own money, I was pretty poor.)

Been an AMD guy ever since.:)
Windows 98 SE with the latest patches can and will support up to 1GB of RAM (Provided the board supports it), witch my Pentium III Talautin 1.2GHz with a Matrox G400/Dual-Voodoo2 12MBs run with this configuration just fine, played through several games on it flawlessly, when I first built it. (HL, Unreal, Quake II etc.)

Very nice build  Great Job. The K6 were awesome CPU`s for the price. I really like the case. if you can look for a small  fan for the VooDoo3  they always run hot. Thank you for the Video

I still find it cool that the overall build process has not changed in 30 years :)  Love watching this kind of thing!  My game of choice back then was Diablo 2.  I can only imagine playing it on this system!  Mine was a Pentium 233MHz and 128MB EDO RAM.

I love PC's from this era, This reminds me of an old tower we had that was first my dad's, then my grandma's, then went to my little sister. It started as a slot 1 celeron 400 with I think 64mb of ram, a SB clone ISA card, and a Matrox (either a Mystique or a Millennium)/Voodoo 2 combo running Win98. Later Upgraded to a PII 450, Maxed RAM at 384mb, and a SBlive PCI and Nvidia RivaTNT2 AGP (The old SB clone and Voodoo2 wouldn't play nice with XP). I think we finally retired it around 2006ish.

This look about right. Customer would come in and ask for a full height tower due to Computer Shopper saying the bigger tower you get. The more room for future upgrades. I'm pretty sure this started with at and moved into atx. I remember 2 floppies drives and 1 hard drive. You also had the joy of making cables too. Then the customer would come back in and wonder why they purchased such a large beast.
