Welcome friend! I hope you enjoy the journey into the past that you can find here! I’m Nick and I’m a PC gaming enthusiast since the early 90s. Here I will use my vast collection of Era accurate PCs and CRT Monitors to create interesting tutorials that will not only answer common(and uncommon) questions but also give you a view into a bygone Era.
Further, we will use this authentic Hardware to install and play into some of the best games of the last 45 years together. At a later stage I will also setup a Discord and maybe a Patreon for interested subscribers that want extra tech support or ad free videos, for example.

Can we Reach 700Hz by Overclocking this Old CRT Monitor?
Maybe this will be the world´s first 700Hz Monitor. In the past we have already overclocked this iiyama Vision Master Pro512 CRT succesfully up to 500Hz. Today we will try to reach a higher refresh rate than even the modern monitor industry currently has. Even if the resolution that we have to use for that is so low that it´s no longer really good for gaming I think it´s still a funny thing if we can beat todays maximum Hz by using a CRT Monitor from 2002.

The Best VGA Adapters to Connect a CRT Monitor to a Modern Gaming PC
มุมมอง 14K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video we will talk about DisplayPort to VGA adapters. Such an adapter is needed to connect a CRT Monitor to a modern Gaming PC. There are a lot of differences though and sadly most adapters do not support high enough Hz or MHz to really utilize the full potential of your CRT monitor. Luckily, a few years ago, I found an adapter that can do everything you need, and in that regard, I'm go...

มุมมอง 5K7 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is really Trash to Treasure here! In a Retro PC that was meant for electronic waste I found this awesome Mitsumi LU005S single speed CD ROM Drive.

The Most Satisfying CRT Degaussing Ever?
มุมมอง 3.6K8 หลายเดือนก่อน
Either this iiyama Vision Master Pro512 CRT Monitor is broken, or it gifted us the best CRT Degaussing Video on TH-cam. I actually got this CRT gaming Monitor from storage to make a video with him about connecting CRTs to modern PCs when I saw these Color errors in its corners. I immediately began filming to document if we can fix it by degaussing or if it’s sadly broken and needs more attention.
