- 3dfx Voodoo 3, Aureal Vortex 2, Windows 98 SE. Ahh, now that's a combination for some prime late 90s gaming. Too bad the rest of the computer needs a ton of work. Let's get to it and build a fresh LGR PC!

Wow, best $10 ever spent. That receipt should be framed and put into a museum.
The computer belongs in a museum!
It is in a museum
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul
Like 8-Bit-Guy's museum.
HappyBeezerStudios - by Lord_Mogul That needs it's own hall, like the Mona Lisa (which is also woodgrain!)
Clint owns the museum
"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!
Lol
I liked how he drew the line at woodgrain lol!
Why does that sound like cave johnson
doorblell momebnth haha
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.
AkBKukU Is it really you?
Sup mate?
you are here too xD?
to do honor to its machine spirit (glory to the Omnissiah)
AkBKukU I choose you
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.
that was a very risky move lmao
literal google cardboard
@@randominternetuser5123 Might be a little risky indeed, due to flammability of cardboard. But that aside, as a fun fact, some time in the noughties there used to be a motherboard whose cardboard package was designed to be usable as a PC case.
Don't remember the brand nor model though. Could be an item for LGR oddware!
You're like the Bob Ross of Computers and I love listening to your videos while I draw. :)
Nope Bob Ross of computer is Techmoan
@@ranjanbiswas3233 he is a Bob Ross of something but not computers. LGR fits that bill better
I admit, I put this channel on to go to sleep. I don't even like computers. PatmanQC and techmoan too. The light jazz, and voice knock me out in 5 minutes.
Yes! I had the exact same thought!
@@Sithedd He's the Bob Ross of audio equipment
Wow. That green color really works for a PC. Almost a British racing green.
Is that green?! Lmao looks black to me. I guess I really am colour blind.
Greg Bearringer I had the same thought when I saw it :)
like sgi green
All it needs now is a white vertical stripe over the whole case
Nexu Jin naw man go full Lotus and paint the faceplate yellow.
"LED lighting? Nah, that would be too stupid".
Ah, I see you're a man of culture as well.
Indeed, a box of this era should have miniature CFT lighting..
leds on a box with no window lol
Yeah it's because there's no window so it would be stupid. I have a full RGB setup on my case and it look amaing if you do it right, but you have to have a glass case.
No IvorySoul696, Turning the insides of your generic computer case into a Christmas ornament to highlight the sheer genericness of the components inside really is tasteless pauper behavior.
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!
next time do it with a commador pet
@@benguthrie3286
Let me know how that works out. XD
That's his pet theorethicly ...
@@benguthrie3286 commador lol
:D XD
"Hey babe... what are you watching?"
"Guy bathe a computer case."
"...again? Its that LGR guy..."
"Yeah, him."
lool lgr farted
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.
Could be worse...I used to clean and fillet fish in my bathtub. I mean, they wouldn't fit in out kitchen sink...
@@MayheM_72 wait what...
Now that's computer porn.
you said "realized"? oi bruv
@@stalingrad3010 She realized the main mistake in her life was the failing to give a bath for a stripped PC tower.
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 :)
gamer girl legacy
Wait you mom is a likes to watch PC builds? That is freaking awesome! I wish that mine was into PC builds.
good to know
ok
> "I'm not going Druaga1 on this"
> Replaces HDD with SD card 2 minutes later.
in fairness fdisk didnt like his 120gb hdd, and while i "SSD ALL THE THINGS!" i found 6 or 7 almost brand new seagate 80gb drives and fdisk loves those so yea.... no ssd in my 98 machines
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.
It really is a mind-boggling layout, like did anyone test it in a typical expansion slot at all?!
And yeah I'm planning a front-mounted thing at this point, just gotta find one that's fitting :)
LGR Someone got fired... I do remember seeing them disappear, and only another model was available. Without rear bracket, just a plain board.
A simple solution would be to shorten the bracket, bent a new tab, and drill the hole. I dont know how rigid it would be though with just the top screw and no bottom slot.
Also it would work perfect in the cases that had a pci slot off to the side for the serial/parallel header adapters, or if you had a smaller motherboard than the case.
dremel tool!
LGR who are you kidding? 10 years from now that sd card reader will still be literally hanging in there xD
It's always nice to see someone work on old tech and still appreciate it's significance after all this time :)
The "does my computer need a..." section felt very RCR-ish. Love it!
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
Mr Moneybags over here with his "extra bathroom" and "storms"

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.
This turned out bad ass bro. That case badge is freakin AWESOME.
3:00: the "Network Neighborhood" was my favorite LGR episode!!
nah, the recycle bin episode was better imo
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!!
Almost read that as body parts, Mr. Dahmer.😉
Go for it, I'm doing exactly the same. I still have like 20 cases laying around.
No matter how old the system is , Building a PC is always a joy to me.
21:36 A board that supports up to 1'5 gig, but still mounts an ISA slot. Such a freaking rare sight!!!
AND! still has switches for bus speed and clock multiplier instead of getting that kind of configuration into the BIOS!! Like we were still in the first Pentium generation era!
@Jacob Turner That's nice, too.
kinda popular on these early 2000s pc, I just think that's a little bit too much of hardware for W98! Back when I started fixing computers, those were popular hw for Windows 2000 and XP, and usually W98 machines were K6-II with 192mb ram
omg
Druaga1 The legacy of SSD lives!
I laughed when he mentioned you Druaga1 😂
Druaga1 THE MYTH himself !!!!!
*SSD!!!*

"oh man" - My sexlife described in 2 quotes, thank you LGR.
@@NefariousIndividual *AAAAAAA*
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.
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.
The best part is that everything was swappable. Less so in modern systems.
Same! Cut my hand replacing a 3.5 Inch floppy drive!
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.
28:01 I see I'm not the only one who watches Druaga1. Neat.
:D
Some of us told him about Druaga1 because of his crazy experiments. However once in a while Druaga1 does find something useful information wise.
OH YEEEESSSS! OH YEEESS!!! the so stupid! -> 3hpm spingfiled map he!
Absolutely Same!!
cool!
i absolutely love these old computer build videos, you really should do more of them!
A Pentium 3 - 800MHz was my first PC I built ever when I was 12. This is amazing
This turned out so perfect.
Ikr my pc turns on but no display
but the ornage jkouice is aescpatim!!!
"Im not going with SSDs"
5 minutes later
"Screw it." *installs SD card
because come on, why would you even want to deal with hdd's anymore
Best solution is to use both - SSD for the OS, other files you need quick access too and especially the swap file, and HDD for the rest
Even new laptops either come with both a slot for an SSD and an HDD, or at least have a DVD drive you can replace with one of those converters.
Hunter green Flecktone paint is VERY late 90's early 2K's. I approve.
@22:24 I love how the list for the clock multiplier settings says "Pentium !!!"
Dude! yeah wtf lol.
34:10 my grand parents had a Compaq Presario 4xxx series pc, ran windows 98. Loved hearing that intense startup sound
Ma boy Druaga1 got mentioned and that's all I need
Yes!! Exactly!! I think they should have a project together... But maybe LGR is a bit too organized for that :p
Peet Lelieveld I agree that would be rad and hey I think one of them could maybe adapt for a collap
Yes, It would be fun to see clint just going with druaga's flow haha...Hey smokers!
Peet Lelieveld I could Imagine that yes. I just wonder what they would do. Something with the weed and ssd of Druaga and some resemblence of control and things not fucking over like LGR
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!
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.
Barack Smith I take it he doesn't update? Because some updates broke compatibility with those computers this year, and, despite the support promise, Microsoft is not going to fix it.
There are hacks that allow those updates to work, he is a retired computer engineer and is probably smarter than you are. He is smarter than I am on many subjects.
sounds like a pretty based dude
Barack Smith Well if he got married, he is not very smart.
willianditaquera hell yeah mgtow brother
That trip to Home Depot has some serious Regular Car Review vibes!
Man this is therapeutic and nostalgic wrapped in pleasantness.
This Windows 98 Startup sound and autorun music... **cries**
Aw, that W98 over-produced intro track. Nostalgia'd hard on that one.
Yes! 40 Minutes of messing around with an old PC :3 Day is saved
@14:53
"aw man"
That made me lol harder than it should have
100%
It gets better and better :D
Rover aw man
Same.
It's entirely justified
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. :-)
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 😂
Damn... I just only now noticed it thanks to you.
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.
Jonathan Farrow Plexiglas windows compromise the Faraday cage keeping in all the RF interference from that multi-megahertz system.
We just used the case because it was free and ours is a full tower that would fit a standard ATX board, or probably an EATX.
It's not to of the line or anything but we gutted the system and put in a new mobo with a phenom x4, 8gb ram, an SSD boot drive, 2TB of mechanical drives, plus some fun odds and ends like a USB3.0 pcie card with a header for a front USB3.0 bay.
it was pretty easy to take out all the internal drive bays and such without having to pull out a grinder.
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.
Windows 95/98, AOL, 56k dial up modems. Ahh the good old days of computing. So many memories. lol
Well, little memory. It was expensive af
Pretty cool. The first PC that I built was in December 99. It was a 600+ MHz P3 with a over locked (x4) AGP GPU, same that you have here, I think. It played every released title very well. Had to upgrade to a P4 build when WoW came out.
NICE CONES PACO
Looks good! I'd plastic-dip the monitor and everything to have a nice matched set.
Plasti-dip, like.... In the car community?
I should have invested in beige plastic trees in the early 90's.
But it would have worned you out
And a fake Chinese rubber plant
Athlon in a slot!. That's really purging my nostalgia glands. Oooohhh.
Yes, the slot connected cpu fad. Right when they said cartriges are a thing of the past.
As someone that never lived in that era, i never knew i would develop such love for such things.
I would have given anything to experience the evolution of computers right from the start, live.
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!
That Slot A motherboard has bulging capacitors, it might be salvageable! Those LGR case badges are awesome.
Ale
I desire one for my frankenbox
14:54 XD
Running cs 1.5 must be amazing on this rig.
This is the type of machine I drooled over when I got my 1st PC
(An AMD duron 700Mhz. Yeah we didn't have a lot of cash)
We have such compatiable all around hardware that is so fast and plays everything... Watching the older hardware and seeing all it took to get it running, the cords, the cards, the connections, all the floppies, even some machines used special ram, it's just so fascinating to watch the process of getting these older machines to run proper
Aureal Vortex cards were the best bang for the buck back in the day, BY FAR!
Bro, I aint never gonna get tired of watching you screw.
14:44 - Linus is sad
TempestWay he might be

This video makes me want to build an early 2000’s PC! LOL! You know what? I might even do it!
lol why can't I stop watching your vids? I am getting addicted. It's just refreshing to watch someone with real love and passion in his hobby, when so many youtubers are just fake as hell.
The pc speaker breaking was the highlight of my 2020 so far. It's been a year. Thank you for the content lgr.
After some googling I found the motherboard is an "Biostar M7MKE KX133" Motherboard on a dutch review site.
Kyran I had a biostar during my wow days.
You mentioned Druaga1, nice to see you have seen him 28:00
"All of these Icons have been used in some lgr episode"
Excuse me Ive never seen the network neighborhood episode HUH?
or the "My Documents" episode
How could he even forget the "My Computer" epsiode
The "Start" episode?
@@aidancommenting YEAH LGR WHERE'S THAT
That one was a classic.
My guy I know this video is 4 years old now but I just want you to know how much I appreciate you spilling those wood grain tiles all over the place.
There is something really relaxing and comforting about these videos ha ha
What a dream machine it was in early 2000's!
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.
A Maxtor that still works? Amazing. That is a rare find indeed.
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!!!!!
13:50 Can you imagine the looks from not only employees but also visitors when my dad was hosing down a completely equipped, opened computer case (486, not sure what type) in the company garden (which was for employees and visitors from the museum my dad worked at as a system administrator) after it had been in a sewage spillover? (We had that computer for a good amount of years actually, the only thing that had been corroded away was the CMOS battery, so each time we started it we needed to tell what time it was.)
this is making me want to dig my sister’s old [dead] windows 98 pc out of the garage and see if i can get it working [and switch it back to windows 98 from xp]
Did you ever do it?
What a great video all my memories in 1 video Thanks
38:12 - satisfaction achieved.
Awesomeness this brings back memories when I used to build computers with my dad in the 90's
I built my first PC is that exact same case back in 2002, albeit with a different front panel. That chassis was used for at least a decade on almost every single DIY case. My first home-painted PC and windowed case was based off this case, back before you could buy non-beige windowed cases. Used to visit the "cool case gallery" case modding group all the time. I had a blue neon from autozone as lighting, snipped wires with heat shrink to connect it to the PSU. Even all these years later, I still remember my hate for those damn rivets.
15:04 flex seal
you should make a after school special mini series called Goodwill hunting: the search for the math coprocessor
That case would have looked awesome with some sort of "metallic gold" hi-lights! Maybe a pattern, or just the drive faces.
Really cool video, I didn't realize this video was 5 years old by now but A+ for consistency.
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!
Oooh, this is exactly my era. I really wish to build a Pentium III machine again.
ankhtahr me2, 450 mhz clocked at 504. Fast!
Actually it's easier to just get an old Dell, HP, compaq, etc.. with an Intel Pentium 4 478 CPU around 2 - 2.8 GHz as they also have PCI, USB 2.0, can handle upwards of 4GB of DDR RAM(also cheap right now) and they are much cheaper to get a hold of, and give you access to dual boot Win 98/XP in a single system. I'm in the process of rebuilding a trash picked Dell Dimension 4600 with a 2.8Ghz socket 478 Pentium 4, with 4GB of DDR RAM, and my only hurdle other than waiting on parts from eBay has been trying to find a CPU cooler that's not total junk for the 478 platform, and deciding what AGP video card I want for Windows 98se, as I already have one for XP.
That's beside the point for me though. My intention is to recreate the computer I had in my childhood, it'd mainly be a nostalgia project, so using newer hardware wouldn't do it for me.
ankhtahr I hear ya, and was wanting to go down that route with some AMD K6-3 parts, but after looking at the prices of it, and Pentium III my wallet went HOLLY SHIT NO WAY IN HELL lol!
We LGR fans must all be voyeurs. Because we will gladly watch you screw all day and all night long.. :D
Also "While I could go all Druaga1 and go with SSDs or something" Is officially one of my new favorite quotes.
peter obermuller Have you not figured out that TH-cam is the worlds biggest peepshow.
Wait,, what??? are you telling me that i've misunderstood youtube all these years?? (Takes a monent to reassess life) :D
I've got a Gateway 2000 machine that supports the Tualatin Pentium III. Right now, though, it has an insanely shitty Celeron in it until I finally get the motivation to work on the machine again.
I just love your channel. It’s fascinating. Thank you for this awesome video Clint :-)
I never thought when i was watching an LGR episode.
Druaga1 would be mentioned.
LGR, you're amazing.

Dude's literally doing what I was doing with my Gigabyte Triton (not the Triton 180) back in the day. Good times!
I'm glad you filmed this because this was very similar to one of my computers back then. I completely understand the reasoning.
I have so mounted a cpu fan the same exact way in the past lmao. yes not having money can be a great source for improvised inspiration. My wife's pc died last year and to save a buck we got a Dell T5500 motherboard and modded her case to fit it. I have a Frankensteins monster lga 775 heatsink on a socket 1366. lmao I should make a video about it idk if people would be interested lol
for the life of me i cant see the other replies to my post youtube just wont let them load up? were the comments removed?
