  • A while back I found two old PCs in a barn in downtown New Delhi - This one was the later of the two and turned out to be a Pentium 4 PC from Acer.
    In this video I attempt to get it working, and end up replacing most of it in the process.
    It's not always worth it to try and refurbish a PC.....
    The other PC from this pickup is covered here:

    I love the contrast of the rust and the new PSU 😀

    The first thing I thought watching this was when the first computer came out, "it puts the lotion on its body or it gets the hose again" It got a lot of hose 🤣
    Man, this was sooo rough. And you did a bang-up jobber on it, sir!

    I remember when the very first Pentium 4s came out in late 2000 and early 2001, I remember that this was even before Windows XP was released, so at the time, Windows ME would've been the latest and greatest operating system. However this Pentium 4 seems to be a later generation most likely made in 2002 or 2003. This would have been well after Windows XP's release.

    Nice Case though. I once sold a working Williamnette Flop PC as an oddity.

      Yeah the case was quite good, other than the filth all over it

    Maybe try another render path when using Doom3 unless it's a driver issue.
