In Russia we had a huge wave of cheap chinese gas lighters with leds between 2000 and 2004. I can remember blue 5mm led price in local radioshack - it was around 50-60 rubles. And lighter with exactly the same blue led was around 20 rubles. So it was much more profitable to buy lighters with blue leds.

Part of the problem today is all of the badly done glass and mesh fronts (because RGB), but this old case is still high performance. Great static pressure and bottom to top air flow. Nice to see air cooling getting some more love from the reviewers in 2020. Can confirm, it's timeless in function as well so far.

You can plug 4 pin fans into 3 pin headers without an adapter. They are designed to do just that for compatibility :)

An audio recommendation for you, when you do videos like this where you move around a lot and use camera audio, you should downmix it to mono. Ashens does the same thing for his videos so that the viewers aren't constantly hearing your voice move around as you move around.

That's the first Lian Li case I had, bought it from PC case gear in 2000/2001. Cool build

Please tell us how you get on with that SATA-IDE converter. I had a hell of a headache trying to get a similar thing to work with my W98SE system because I just ended up with a load of errors and crashes happening all the time. I don't know if it's because the adapter I received just happened to be not working (I've checked it over and nothing appears to be visually wrong with it, and I know the SSD itself is working just fine) or it's because (and I suspect) that it only works with the last revisions of PATA.

Speaking of MIDI, have you ever experimented with Wingroove?

More LGR retro tech ramble style videos? Yes please!

HDD Led's for the most part Have always been Red. Btw Clint your videos are very chilled and you are not over acting / scripting your you tube channel like a lot of You tubers are doing these days to try grab and impress viewers.

I didn't even know you HAD a blerb channel, might keep updated on this!

Still didn't answer my question from the first video, where did you source the scsi SD adapter?

SCSI to SD? is that good idea for DOS? I need a good DOS either SD or SSD solution. I bought a IDE to compact flash adapater and realized 1) compact flash isn't made any more, and 2) I only have 64mb cards.

Thats one sweet Lian Li case! Im using a similar looking antec case for my PIII Geforce 256 win98 PC!

That case looks so cool

I always found it interesting this project box setup you've got going, nicely era appropriate but with some nice ideas that make for an all round enjoyable experience which in turn have fed back into my own late 90s setup. Have you ever considered using a more modern power supply to run the system? I remember that Gameshark video with a dead PSU and its something that seems to help reliability if the +5v rail is up to the task. Either way, keep up the awesome work. 👍

I'm pretty sure you can directly plug a PWM 4-pin fan into a 3-pin header without any sort of interface. The little alignment notch on the fan connector is aligned in such a way that it would cinch up to a 3-pin header even if the fourth pin isn't present.

I use a Sata ssd with an adapter for an old Pentium 4 box and it works great. Just be careful as the connection between the adapter and the actual drive can be kind of loose depending on what type of drive and all.

You should use the IDE-to-SATA adapter, I'd love to see that. I'm rebuilding my childhood PC and I'm considering using that adapter and putting a modern SSD into a 486 system and just the thought of that is hilarious to me, but also awesome.

I'm dreaming of one of those Megaluminum cases, turning it into a pre-Windows MS-DOS 3.3H machine (8088-1). I'd finally have 5.25", 3.5", and CD-ROM all in one machine. My Vendex Headstart LX-CD didn't come with a 5.25", which at that time wasn't always convenient; my uncle had to copy a driver for something (either the printer or the hand scanner) from its original 5.25" disk to a 3.5" HD floppy. When we upgraded to a 486, we finally had a 5.25" drive, but about the only time I used it was to transfer the _Wolfenstein 3D_ Shareware installation disk to 3.5" floppy. Now, I'm finally reacquiring the proper boxed copies of games rather than the pack-in shovelware CD-ROM, and I need a 5.25" drive again (this was that other question I mentioned in email).

I’ve used a lot of those sata-pata bridges for putting ssds in to older computers. Some older motherboards do not like SSDs at all. Something about ata commands specific to ssds. Those promise pata controllers have a good bios of their own and handle ssds just fine.

Worth installing that ssd, perhaps together with one of those 5.25 sata drive bays & then that ide to sata converter behind that or a pci sata card so you can use the ssd on a windows 98 compatible sata controller for some more speed.

Antec Super Lanboy was my favourite pc case of all time
