วีดีโอ

I have an abit ic7-max3 that im using with a xp build and that cooler looks just like the one im using too.

Ha I think I know this guy😂. Good vid

great build, i hope to something like this soon. much love

Remarkably high quality video considering your subscriber count, I hope you continue to grow

Unfortunate that Abit went under. I still have my IP35 Pro with Q6600 from 2007. Such a great motherboard.

very cool build ,, i bought the same case but in white ,, like how you ran the power suplly cables ,, iam going to do the same ,,,, i built another with nvidia fx 5950 256mb double slot video card like the one in your video ,, its a little loud thow,,

You built my current setup, if it was a 98 PC, Same case, same PSU.

Gotta love that intro

That looks like a delicious rabbit once is cooked

If the chipset supports ISA try looking for a header on the board called "sb_link". You can use it with a supported PCI sound card like the ess 1938 solo which has that header. What this allows to do is it can basically act like an ISA card.

That heatsink on the chipset is going to vibrate itself loose because of the fan.

Any update on the chair's LiveBack technology?

Im looking to do an xp build cause it will run most all 98 games aswell as the xp era i have a whole garage of retro pc parts ive salvaged in the past year or so and figured why not.

Would have like to see the actual install times. I've personally NEVER seen a windows 98 game that didn't take FOREVER and then run at 10fps cuz I NEVER owned a computer with enough punch

Thank you for removing all the old thermal epoxy off the chipset. I cannot stand seeing old thermal material left on chips, like the stuff in the hole of your Pentium 4.😆

I'm going to guess that you are an Aquarius.

A very nice machine!

high-key mad you didn't populate the other front + rear fan mounts

Really great review, pretty much the format i was looking for. Out of curiosity since its been awhile do you have any feedback on the $30 extra thick back pad? Im on the fence if I would want that or the original thinner one for comfort/ergonomics.

how did this combo end up working? I want to get these exact fish

2:52 I'm surprised that there's is a processor that name in our country

With that red case, I would pick an Abit NF7 for that, otherwise nice job!

saw you video on that chair unboxing and looked at your other videos, saw this and was shocked very clean editing.

If you don't use on board lan and sound card, it better to disable them in bios, no stupid questions in device manager and free resources,, dvi to hdmi or dvi to displayport kabel or reduction? Copy win98 to c after format c: /s, and most important, where are games, we don't want to see games installation :). Maybe some benchmarks may be nice too, overall nice setup, I have same with p4 3.2 ghz :) EDIT: did you or somebody before you repaste gpu?

Follow up now?

Could I get an update on the topsky, has it held up, any weird issues? I want to buy one but am nervous with Amazon noname brands

I first came across your channel from your wicked Win98 build. See that your creative all around. I'm a retro gamer, who just got into retro PC, and PC gaming in general. I like having my gaming rig in my living room hooked up to a monitor and my 4k TV for high end emulation and space for VR. And you gave me some good ideas for making space! I'd recommend getting a small component or S-video CRT for you retro consoles. You'd be surprised how you can manage to incorporate them into a setup in a small apartment. I own like 3 myself lol. You got yourself a sub here dude!

I owned the DFI Lanparty Pro875B and Abit IC7 Max3 both excellent boards but i preferred the DFI board as it had all UV reactive parts

Zalmon has a copper chipset heatsink with that kind of bracket as an option

what is the exact case model?

case with USB 3.0??? This is not a proper retro build! Ahaha

Here's a tip! I've used (on some old builds) dental stainless steel wire to secure those north-bridge, gpu and cpu's heatsinks, instead of using paper clips... It is kind of elastic enough to apply pressure and to bend it in any shape you want using a simple pair of long nose pliers and it is tough enough to withstand any wrong bend and etc... It is cheap and easy to find also.... Btw, it can be used for jewelry and some repairs! Good Luck!

I am looking for that distro block/pump combo, no one has it for sale, looking for a new one.

Great video! 128GB storage is a little bit overkill for Win 98 :D

i was born in 98 and the first os i ever used was windows xp( was a hamy down because my older sisters unded up getting their own windows vista laptops) all though my dad did have a windows 98 computer at his auto shop i used to use it to play games on like demonstar which was my favorite. for some reason im obsessed with legacy hardware that came before me. i know alot of things about from games to hardware it and it wasnt even my era lol. i still cant get over the fact that now a days motherboards come with a on board sound card but back then you needed to buy a soundcard to hear any type of sound.

Fantastic build. It looks like every PC builder's dream in the late 90s - early 2000s, especially with the clean cable management. Would've added more transparent blue LED fans if I were you.

Beautiful aquascape!!!

everybody is a retro PC builder. Such a new and exiting video content.... lol

If I'm not mistaken the hook spacing on those northbridge heatsinks is standard, you don't need the Abit one, you can just use any. I think the Thermaltake Tiger should work if you can find one.

This is an extremely similar build to mine that I did a couple years ago, even down to the case (albeit, mine is in black). I'm running the same CPU, with a Zalman cooler on it, managed to OC it to 3.3Ghz. GPU as well, I'm running the Asus 9800 Pro (256MB, 256Bit model). Sb Live! 5.1, Hynix RAM (2x256Mb DDR400, so same spec). Main difference is the motherboard - Im running the AsRock P4i65G, so very very similar spec, just slightly different northbridge and southbridge chipsets. (but still supporting 800 FSB). SSD mine is a Western Digital, but also 120GB. I did manage to install Win98 to it with just some BIOS setting to be adjusted. Did you run any benchmarks? I'd be really keen to compare what your results were to what I got.

You have a few more subs than I do. I had a look around your channel. I wanted to sub if you were a retro PC guy ... your videos are all over the map. I am guilty of the same, your video is a little over produced with lots of graphics sliding into frame. I know you work hard on your videos but to some degree you are over working a good video. Please do more retro PC videos your attention to detail is very good.

A reverse sleeper, modern case with retro innards

I wouldn't use a modern case on a retro PC... but to each their own. Still a great build tho. I built mine with a Win98-SE with a Pentium3 at 1GHZ, 512MB PC100, GeForce FX 5200 and a really nice Lenovo Beige retro case coupled with a beige 24" inch CRT Monitor.

That's insanely complex and incredibly awesome, so jealous! Where did you get the little 3.5mm audio switcher, I've not seen one like this without HDMI etc?

Wierd, I have this exact same board, and was able to get windows 98 to install on as SSD in IDE Mode directly attached to the ICH5.

Thanks for this. Mine's on the way and it's nice to see what I'll be doing soon: Unboxing!

How many rams are there and what are they male or female?

Did you ever have any issues with the gourami and cichlid?

Why no Noczua fan for the cpu cooler?

I have that same countertop coming in soon! Hopefully I don't get any cracks or off-putting imperfections in it.. I absolutely love the color of the desk after you applied the oil. Did some digging on Lowes and I just wanted to confirm - did you use "WATCO Medium Walnut Brown Danish Oil?" Before I pull the trigger on which one to buy. Thanks in advance!
