Raven4K South Dakota become Taipei when Acer brought Gateway.

Our second family computer was a Gateway. We got it Christmas 1999 (it has the same tower as the one shown at 0:55). Pentium 3, 128mb RAM and a Voodoo 3 3000 graphics card - it was the ultimate PC compared to everything my friends owned in every respect at the time. Weirdly, using the software that came with it, this machine helped extend the life of our first PC, a Packard Bell Exec (Pentium 1, 75MHz). It was a great computer and Gateway's customer service and support is still to this day the best I have ever known. Weirdly, Gateway and Packard Bell are now both owned by Acer, and it looks like Acer are phasing them both out judging by the small choice available :-( Their machines appear to be identical too with just the badge changed (Gateway badge for America, Packard Bell badge for UK/Europe).

our family had a gateway computer right before they vanished. for 2012 it was a pretty powerful home pc. from what i remember it had a amd athlon x4, 4gb of ddr2 and a 2gb graphics card. eventually it broke down because it was running a malware infested version of windows vista. my parents still have it sitting around somewhere, maybe someday i will get it running again

Ahh Gateway... The best brand of computer. I have a 1994 Gateway P5-166, it sat under a desk with the top panel of for 3 years, full of dirt, and I felt bad because it was my first computer. I cleaned it out, and it was fine. That was 7 years ago, and it is why I got into vintage computer collecting and restoration. Now I have an Apple IIGS Macintosh SE, an 15 machines ranging from 1983-1997, and most of them are heavily modified or built by me.

My family's first major computers were Gateways. The first was from Future Shop (Another relic of yesteryear if you're in Canada), and had a Q6600 at 2.33Ghz, an ATi (dead as well) Radeon HD 4650 that died after 6 months cause of my dumb ass playing Call of Duty 4 for 4 hours a day. Then I dropped a GTX 550Ti into it and rocked many months of Battlefield 3 even into Battlefield 4 until it finally started acting up. By that time, I had been building computers for 2 years and decided to just replace it for my parents. My personal rig for the last two years of high school was also a Gateway, albeit a bit weaker than the one two years before that. It had an AMD A10-5700 APU with 8GB of 1333Mhz RAM, so nothing blazing, but it was okay for the time. Got it from Costco, but after high school, I started really getting into PC gaming even more than before, and put an R9 270 into it, which lasted about 6 months until I saved from my job at the grocery store to build my own rig. They were good, but after Acer bought them, their machines started to really turn to ass, which sucks. We'll miss you, computer from South Dakota.

My father loves Gateway and, for the majority of my childhood, would ALWAYS buy gateways if one of our family members wanted a PC for their birthday or whatnot. My main daily driver for 3+ years was a Gateway DX4870 with an ivy bridge i5 3330. That tower was the gateway for me into IT and PC Gaming, among other things. Sadly, this tower was the last of its kind; when mine was bought, it was because Gateway (acquired by Acer) and all of its assets were being liquidated. I'd never sell that tower as long as I live.

I own this exact Gateway model (GT5668E) and i still use it. I managed to get a Radeon HD 6850 running on the thing, once I figured out how to max out its 4 gigs of ram. I bought this thing in 2008, and it's still not obsolete yet. That is really saying something.

I like what he's done with his hairstyle now, but I absolutely ADORED the long hair look. Especially when it was down and you could see a few glimpses of him smiling at the camera around 2:37 -ish. Just, awwwwwwww :)

I've always loved the value Gateway PC's gave. They are still for sale under Acer in the US. I bought one for a budget PC and still are using it to this day. it's an i3 DX4860 stuffed into that specific case in this video. I used to take it with me to LAN parties and stuff and I eventually destroyed it's original case. so I had this PC laying around that didn't boot anymore. so to keep it with it's pedigree, I stuffed the new gateway parts into this PC. I wish I could find an old whitebox gateway as shown in those commercials to put this hardware in. now in the US, Packard Bell is the obsolete memory we have. interestingly, they took the name and now sell it only in the European Union. Either way, I love these computers, and the nostalgia they bring.

My girl still works in the remnants of the old gateway building here in South Dakota. It's still painted like a cow lol.

holy hell this rocked. Your channel makes me feel so young again.

I only found your chanel today but your videos are amazing!!! 😊😊😊

Great content friend. My wholehearted thanks for making such enjoyable content.

I was honestly too young to remember the first computer I ever used, but the first I ever *owned* was a Dell Inspiron 531s. With its Radeon HD 2400 and Athlon 64 X2 3600+ CPU, it played pretty much anything that 9-year-old me and my 12-year-old brother could want at the time. The most played games on that PC were World of Warcraft, Need for Speed: Carbon, and some flash games. Its remains are still in my room. I'm the reason it broke, sadly, and I still regret it (#thatanxietylifestyle) but it served us very well.

Nice song during your 'ad'. An oft-forgotten classic from the 90s.

Damn, I still remember those old monitors, floppy disk drives. It was a happier time, it was a simpler time.

i remember that god damn gateway load up sound, its so nostalgic, and i don't even remember ever having one.

My main computer used to be a Gateway laptop since 2013! I just got a dell optiplex 9020 just a week ago! 80% of the keyboard was dead but it kept on running and playing almost all of my favorite games!

I last seen a Gateway computer setup when I was 6, and last saw any piece of Gateway branding (a monitor) in 2009 at my old school. Plan on getting one sometime.

you're channel is awesome, i really, really, really like you're vids man, keep it up ^-^

Ironically, when I watched this video on my PC, it really DID give me the dreaded Blue Screen of Death... Windows 10, you had ONE JOB!

My first computer was a Gateway 2000. I was like 1 when we got it. All the memories. Original Pentium CPU, 16MB of RAM, 400-ish MB hard drive, ATI graphics with like 1MB of VRAM, all the floppy drives and of course Windows 95.

+Mystery Biscuits My first was an IBM 300GL, had a ~300MHz Pentium III, 384MB DDR 133MHz RAM, and probably like 1MB or VRAM as well. Had so many memories playing NFS: Hot Pursuit 2 on that thing.

I had a Gateway Essential 450, so much nostalgia, too.

I just got a friend's Gateway DX 4200-09, it's my first tower and I plan on gaming on it. (Not joking). I got a new gigabyte graphics card which is cheap but it works. I Maxed out the ram too by adding 4 more Gb to complete the max 8 gb. I just ordered an ssd to go along with the hard drive I am getting soon. Great videos! Keep it up!

My first PC had some form of AMD Athlon processor clocked at about 1.8GHz or 2.0GHz with about 1GB of RAM and no discrete graphics. I loved RTS games at the time and Command & Conquer 3 was becoming my go-to RTS. It barely played the game at all at 1024x768 on the lowest settings. The cooling was terrible, the hard drive was loud and there was a crack in the case.All running from Windows XP. But I couldn't have been happier. Now I'm gladly settling for my Core i5 4690, GTX 1060, 8GB RAM, SSD/HDD drives!

My first computer was a WANG 350/16S : intel 386SX 16 MHz, 2MB of RAM, 40MB HDD, 256KB colour VGA, and a 14 inch colour VGA monitor. It was using MSDOS 3.3 and Windows 3.0. Damm, I'm so old... but I loved that machine and I was able to see PC hardware evolution that now has been brought to a halt, almost.

I got chills down my spine when I heard the Intel sound at the end.

Hey man! Been watching a few of your vids and so far I'm loving the way you did them, sorta the way I wanted to do mine but never had the time or money (coming from a 17 year old ;D).....that will change soon. But, keep up the good work man, also I hope you make a few extra dollars selling some of those systems.

God I love Gateway... My gaming pc uses a Gateway GT5458 case. I own an old Gateway laptop and a Gateway monitor as well.

My first ever IBM compatible PC was a Highscreen 486DX2 80 with an 800MB HD and 8MB of RAM(Yes thats MB. Both the RAM and HD size where upgraded extras from the stock 540MB HD and 4MB Ram). That was the last PC I bought pre assembled. Since that time I build all my PC's myself. Ussually keeping the case, HDD's and optical drives and quite often also the powersupply and just replacing the mainboard, memory and CPU. The cycle ussually was Mainboard+CPU+Memory. -> RAM/CPU/GPU/HD Upgrades on same mainboard over the next few years then repeat after the board became obsolete due to old IO busses like VESA local bus,PCI,AGP and having maxed out to the maximum supported CPU. I've still have an AMD 2 system with an Athlon X2 3800+ lying around (Though currently canibbalized for parts like PSU and GPU). I've used it as a media center until about 1.5 years ago hooked up to both a TV and a 720p beamer. That processor ran rings around the pentium 4 of the era and ran Windows XP 64bit for years. (Best XP version ever)

My first computer was a Dell Optiplex GX150 tower with a Pentium III 1ghz, integrated graphics, and 512mb ram. Most games didn't run well. One of my favorites was Impossible Creatures, and don't hate but I always played Sonic R on it! Great video!

I remember playing Doom and Wolfenstein 3-D for my first PC gaming experiences. It was okay, but didn't keep me from my PS1. Then one day I got to play Diablo2, and not long after that the original Deus Ex. I was blown away! To this day I don't think I have put as many hours into any game as I had Diablo2. PC gaming is the best :').

Still rocking a Gateway FX6800-03H desktop PC from 2009. Significantly upgraded now (but still the same MOBO and CPU!).

Love the outro!

how do you only have 11k subs? you deserve at least 20x that

Felt kind of sad when chapter 2 ended. I was rocking my little heart out and it suddenly ended. Man, I love that song.

I have the same dell monitor, it was an awesome deal for a 1080p monitor, still using it now

That description though."My Mac is experimenting with hallucinogenic drugs again."

My first PC was a Commodore Pet. Not the first I used though as I ran IBM System 3s and 370s back in the 70's.

✌️😏 Tucked away I still have my 17inch Gateway Core2Duo Laptop, its a business model with a dedicated Invidia Graphics Chip 😘🐢 .

oh my god. my heart like........ imploded when i saw that blue screen. then lol

the old athlons god damn it the good old days such memories !!

My very first pc had a Pentium III running at 450 MHz, and had a Voodoo 3 graphics card in it! Midtown Madness ran fine on that setup :-)

awesome video green ham gaming man

My first PC was a dell dimension 4100, and that thing is a little powerhouse for a pentium 3. Used to play mechwarrior on it a ton, and putt putt, and some tonka stuff before the mechwarrior came along. Oh, and good old Descent, Descent 3 used to scare the living crap out of me. (The best part? It's still perfectly alive to this day.)

my 1st computer was a Gateway P1 tower! i really miss it tho

I have an older Gateway than that, a Pentium 4 that I use for my old Hasbro Interactive games, they don't like ANYTHING with a more modern graphics card but play on the Gateway with its on board VGA without a hitch, so I have, for the most part kept it stock, except for a memory upgrade, clean reinstall of Windows XP and a replacement of the failing stock power supply.

My first computer was an HP pavilion g4 laptop with a Pentium B960. So slow, but I relied on that thing to game for years before I built my desktop

My first computer was an Acer Aspire One D255 netbook from 2009. It had an Intel Atom N450 Single core @ 1.6ghz, 1GB RAM, and Windows 7 Starter.
