I'm a simple man.I see Retro Hardware i upvote.Besides 3dfx+carma2 also brings up pleasent memories.Good job sir!
This would have been the perfect portable for a Lan party. Thanks for saving this old beast and sharing it with us.
Or just used laptop that can run most game
Wow! That's an incredible find! That would have been one badass system back then. Those Celerons were incredibly popular for overclocking.
That windows 98 first startup music never gets old.
Had same speakers i gave them ago years and i miss them since.
I had a pair in black. Cracking speakers.
Nice job!
This computer look like a microwave 😂🤣
jajajajaj]
I should take one of those Shuttle cases and recreate this PC with modern hardware and a 15 inch portable display. Trick would be finding a keyboard you could mount to the side. hehe cool PC mang!
Today's videogames s1ck badly. Why would you want to recreate it with modern hardware? lol. You guys are so dumb.
@George R what ?? You think the new hardware wouldn't fit inside it ?!
I would love to see a design like this done with modern hardware
I would happily have a suitcase pc if it bridged a performance gap between laptop and desktop
With Core i9 and RTX 2080 Ti
@@pardonless I was thinking more of a 3950x (as I do rendering) but yeah, you get what I mean
You can buy a case like this for modern hardware...except it is hundreds and sometimes over $1000
Get a case like this and you can build pretty much anything in it, the only limiter I can think of is that there's no ITX Threadripper motherboard and only one ITX x299 motherboard, but most people would be perfectly happy with a 3950x or 9900k.

Eurocom, jack! Break out your check book and skip a months rent or two. You good!! Lol!
I just love old stuff. Creativity at its best.

I got Celeron Mendocino 400 MHz slot 1, this CPU is running GTA Vice City, sorry, my english is no good, i'm from Poland.
Hey,i got the same portable computer but not the same brand (this one live 1 year at LosAngeles in 2000),but having intel processor intel 2 changed for the pentium 3 Tualatin+GF4+SB16),ultimate dos portable machine,see photos:

Nice one! Yours is more modern.
@@RETROHardware Thx, we do not see much in circulation, but I think I'm going to sell mine (I do not use much, not too much time),but i dont know how much it can sell for quickly sale,if you know anyone interested before I put it on ebay or whatever, you can contact me ...
how much to pay for that portable pc?
Nice project!
You can try to get the digital data from the inputs of the V2-DAC. It seems to be 5:6:5 (bit per color) so it should - in theory - be usable for controlling the panel. Then you need fast analog switches (the voodoo uses them for changing vom VGA to its own output, but they don't offer enough ports). Should be possible, but maybe a bit overkill ;-)
As a base, i'd suggest a card with 2D+3D (e.g. V3) or something like a matrox which offers digital interfaces on its own and should be adoptable to the panel.
I would love to see a modern 'sleeper' PC build in this thing! You could replace the panel with a high refresh IPS panel and really surprise some people xD
I'm currently doing that to a twin to RETRO Hardware's, buts its a P4 model. I have a bunch of these laying around. Only issue is the motherboard mounts upside down so the processor is at the bottom, and I need to use liquid cooler because the power supply will be sitting right over the CPU. Should be interesting.
@@tomc8157 absolute mad lad. Got any visuals on that? Please
The way the keyboard clicks is priceless!
Carmageddon was first 3d game i ever have played and loved that game. Last summer was nostalgia trip when i played whole game again with tablet. Game is free in play store.
"Castle Wolfenstein" was the 1st 3D game I ever played, on a win 95 pc back in '95. I was also hooked on "Duke Nukem" (2D side-scroling version). Ahh memories
i had one of these and i loved it the video card went out and never could find one like it anywhere.
man, those speakers, LOL I used to have them as well. and the games GTA, Carmageddon, Blood. Man I used to play them a lot on my K6-III with 400Mhz, Voodoo 3 and 256Mb RAM
This is perfect, all the retro power you need in one small package :o I want one!!!
5:28 Once upon a time when you could see the traces in a PCB.
This is absolutely awesome. You sir are a legend.
I love the creative designs of the cases in 80s and 90s. Today they are sadly not like this. the most looks like the boring mainsteam shit.
is this used to be the AiO from 1990 ? LOL
Thx for keeping old pcs alive. Keep your good work.
Best regards from Brazil my friend.
Rare!!! You must have a warehouse full of retro hardware :p
What computer is this? It looks like the one my grandmother had back in the day but for the life of me I can't remember the brand or model.
I have a fondness for 'Trasportable' computers. Few years ago I found you could still by this style case for ITX motherboards.
WHEREEEEE? PLEASE TELL ME

I found a system like that but it was white. It was on the curb when the neighbors moved. Was missing the Power Supply, Hard Drive, optical drive, RAM and CPU. I stripped it down and built it as my Gaming rig since I was attending a bunch of LAN parties. Had a AMD K6-2 500MHz, 128MB RAM, Sound Blaster Live, Voodoo 2, Realtek 10/100 NIC, Iomega Zip-CD 650, 30GB Hard Drive and 1.44MB floppy but switched to a LS-120 Floppy. It ran Windows 2000 Pro. At one point right when 3Dfx went bye bye I bought a Voodoo 3 3000 for $60.00 on clearance and then used a 19 inch CRT TV for Gaming since it had S-Video and I think I tossed in another 64MB of RAM into it. Then over the years when it was too slow for anything I removed the Sound Blaster Live and Voodoo Card and turned it into my first Linux Box running Redhat 7.1. I have no idea what happen to that machine, might be in the attic in the house I grew up in.
How do you find it ?
some baller ass retro tech.. i think about building a 144hz gaming version ofd this in my head for years now haha
Ahoj Kamrati! Dobra robota z wideo - prosto a konkretnie.
I can tell you've never played Blood before!! Haha. Beautiful portable desktop, I'm JEALOUS!! I also have a PPGA celeron (366) with VooDoo II SLI and an AWE 64 Gold. Great minds think alike ;)
Thanks for saving the vintage computer that thing looks really nice. Might even be able to upgrade to a Pentium 3 CPU. Thanks for sharing this video.
AWESOME!!!! NICE ONE MEN
I remember that I had a celeron 300a and my bro a p2 333. We both had the same brand Board, hdd and memory. Only He had a voodoo3 pci and I had voodoo2.
It also loaded the games faster on my celly but yeah, he had ofcourse more fps in games.
Still my system felt more responive in windows and other tasks. I loved my celeron back then.
Edit: Wow, I had the same speakers on my p75i
This is cool in so many ways!
man its almost hard to believe processors were that slow back when i was younger. we really have advanced far
That 400 MHz Celeron was a monster compared to the 3 MHz Z-80 CPU of the Sinclair ZX81 of my childhood.
Офигенный ноут! Жаль такие не прижились!
What is the name of this case/pc/aio?
The LCD is TFT or DSTN?
Love the microwave/crt tv look
Edit: damn I love Blood, the best FPS for DOS (love the gothic atmosphere and the dark humor on this)
Great machine!!! greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!
Heh, I had a BX98-3D motherboard for Slot-1... very surprising to see one like that here.
Oh you should enable "Read Around Write" in BIOS for better RAM performance. But then it might start to lock-up in some workloads.
Oh I miss that start up and welcome screen so bad
Daaaaamn. ATX compatibility, but absolutely requires you to have that particular ribbon cable female port on your GPU. It's almost a waste, could be the perfect LAN party box (yeah, LAN parties are outdated, but imagine!). There's a certain charm to putting desktop parts in a transportable crate with everything snapped on to it, as opposed to a laptop, and somtimes I wish AIOs were made this way instead of those flat panels that can't be modified, opened or repaired.
How come GTA doesn't work on internal display but other 3D games do? White VGA cable only connects stock adapter to Voodoo passthrough input, doesn't work the other way around, does it?
i have a simular case but its by sterling computer and the monitor doeent move and the keyboard is detachable
That is cool. Now the only thing you would have to do is figure out how to upgrade the celeron to a Pentium III CPU.
And the cooling needs for such an upgrade??
Max upgrade for this board is Celeron Mendocino 566 Mhz. Better way is put some SS7 board with K6-2/3, maybe slot 1 AT board.
Nice, I have also an portable pc, but a little bit older. Mine has an Intel 80386 and 2 mb of ram, running ms dos ;D
Vou tak to je pecka , taková nostalgie . Také mám zkušenosti s voodoo sice 1 a 3 ale na tu dobu výkon :D ps: Si říkám kde bereš takové HW klenoty ? To musí být velmi náročné i finančně co ?
The precursor of modern Laptops and Notebooks.
So nice, at the time I had a voodoo rush and this original game
well i guess he voided the warranty on this one hahaha love the videos keep it up
very interesting and rare hardware, its great that you can share with us i'd love to see a modern version of that
What kind of portable computer is this? I have many ideas on how to make it a sleeper pc
Ultimate beast gaming pc
You may be able to throw in a separate LCD driver board if you knew the pinouts of that ribbon cable.
Unfortunately it's probably not info you can find easily.
Первый компьютер у меня был примерно таким, только видеокарта стояла "riva tnt2 pro".
amazing machine, however I'd put in a voodoo 3 or a TNT card so that you don't need the pass through VGA cable so that you can close the door to the ports when you're not using the machine though.
But it would be the most amazing retro LAN party machine with the voodoo 2 inside :)
I guess no AGP slot in this ?
@@tmbardsen88 I think there is, you can see it at around 4:14
Nice set of actor juster 95 multi-media desktop speakers.. I have a pair that r mint condition
Gordon Freeman? Is it you? I recognize your silent style....
this computer is from argentina?
Všude český windows, od kuď asi jste :) Videa dobrý :)
where can i find the original files of gta1?????
in the repost cheatcodes does not work

Ultimate lanparty PC)
Да, впечатляет. Мне показалось что под одним монитором есть еще один.
Wow....wow....wow
Awesome!
Can you use a more advanced graphics card ?
Like a Voodoo 3/4 or 5 ?
I have a glidepoint comport nose track pad that works great
It looks like an old CRT tv.
ide system pretty good for bringing back the dead i would have left the original card in if they are still working and use a sata adapter put in highest possible hard drive install lubuntu put in usb pci card in the slots put in max memory if it can hold 1 or 2gb if possible. I used to have a 400mhz big unit
Cool, portable computer!👍 But how about doom2 or quake 1?
5:44 See the date codes on the IC chips when from week 10 in 1999 Back in the day when 3DFX was still a healthy company and their products was "da thing". In SLI mode the Voodoo 2 put NVIDIA's RIVA TNT2, Matrox's Millennium G400, and even NVIDIA's GeForce 256 to shame!
Should have upgraded the CPI too!
A nice Coppermine/Tualatin Pentium III would have been great...
This is first sockeet 370. Only Celeron Mendocino to 566MHz you can put inside.
thats pretty cool
i like it looks dope
Wow! I have the same speakers!
I like this computer
Voodoo 2 12 Mo of pure power , it can run NFS 3 at 1024x768 with all stettins to MAAAAAAAX !!! Remember that beast lollll
It should also run GL Quake! ;)
Mágica!!!
4:00 -- so lemme get this straight... this thing has both AT and ATX power inputs?
Yes it was normal for that HW era.
Wow awesome hardware, i think this monitor have dpi connector and it can be convert to dsub😊
Really cool computer
Well kids this is what we used to game in
So true! I remember when I was in highschool back in '95 they had a new windows '95 pc, we used to be hooked on playing "Castle Wolfenstein" lol
i remember when Anand from Anandtech did a video intro of this NEW voodoo 2 card i thinK IT was ABIT BH6 INTEL 300 OVERCLOCKED TO 450
Where are you getting all those retro components?
Is that bnc on lan card there? I have similar somewhere been wondering what it's for.
Yes it is classic dual LAN card with BNC + RJ45.
Beautiful system :)
What an awesome device :O
BR PT, Nostalgia pra mim. Muito legal
you can upgrade the board to i series with dd4 ram and etc stull as well as gaming card
Liked film Wallace And Gromit Using Only a Portable Computer.
O kurde, pradziadek laptopa hahaa identyczny hdd mialem
I have gotten me that DEMOLUX PC Overhead projector which is basically a Pentium 233 with a beamer. Want to 3dfx it too but the problem is how to get the signal output to the panel because its grabbed off internally from the 2D card to the little internal display. Here´s a video i found about it these days: th-cam.com/video/UHxSaB3QK2k/w-d-xo.html. Its an SBC inside the case. But how to 3dfx it? hehe
DOOM and co on the wall :D
keyboard sounds great. whst switches does it have? white alps?
I don‘t know brand/manufacturer of kb. Yes it is pretty noisy. Everything around is noisy :-)
Moc hezké pane :-)
is really good system
Unfortunately, the LCD display card can't support AGP☹️
Yep this is limitation.
saludos.. no habia llegqado a ver uno de esos .. like y sub
OMG I must have this!
Being that this is a portable computer, you can just push the power button to power on, right? You don't need any cords, right?
What does that weight?... looks well cool...great video...👍
awesome
awesome device
wow, awesome
listen to that hdd its so clicky lol - great video
