Welcome to my channel!
I'm currently trying to improve upon my upload schedule, and in general you can expect one to two videos each weekend. Uploads during the week will be exceptionally rare.
I've just opened a patreon, where I will post behind the scenes and extras, including uncut footage!

nice mate! huge collection of parts also! I am all about late 90s computers, i am sure I would finde one or two pieces I would love in you collection :) cheers from bavaria in germany, keep it up!
@@ShrineOfLife I appreciate that, thank you! I watch a lot of German vintage PC channels
The Legendary Mechwarriors forcepacks contain several variations of mechs so for example, you're holding the CGR-3K at 22:27 and it doesn't have 5 small lasers. The Caesar you were holding before then (with the hand-held clan PPC) is a custom version piloted by Marcus GioAvanti. The standard Caesar (in the Merc box set) doesn't have a handheld PPC and has less pulse lasers.
thought this was AI from thumbnail lol, this is great
@@Vinoross0 it's a weird case lol
Excellent way to share the joy of your hobby. Great video!
The case reminds me a lot of the early 2000’s Dell Dimension 8200 I had as a teenager.
@@eelomaa I can definitely see that. I've got a handful of Dell Dimensions from around that era that I might make videos on, I haven't decided yet
Another fine video! Personally I would keep the G400 to tinker with. Sure the GeForce is more capable but I would see what I can get out of the Matrox first. Banshee is ehh.
back in the day is was pretty standard to want addon cards to handle all the crap on the I/O .. the belief was that it took load off the rest of the system .. so if u could afford to replace the sound, network, n VGA.. ya should.. plus anything ya stuck in there was likely an upgrade in other aspects so why not lol :p
kzread.info/dash/bejne/mWGelJaOeszOftI.html Black Python (Viper) FYI the Timberwolf - Bounty Hunter 2 has 3xSRM4's (12) in each side torso.
I have a 1 GHz Pentium III in a Dell Inspiron 8000 with an ATI Rage Mobility card. It can play most old games well at 640x480 though they look a little blurry on the 1400x1050 display.
That's pretty awesome! I love the ATI Rage series, I am about to build a system with a Rage 128, either that or a Riva TNT
I've picked up quite a few old boards going back to 286's from Ukraine on eBay lately, did take quite a while in shipping, though I'll give them a break on that one.
Nice KZread channel and we love your content. Steven now build a 486 and do some restoration for a customer. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands
Win 98 was limited to 2GB drives wasn't it?? or am I mistaken??
@@djpiles1982 almost, It was limited to 2 gigs of RAM, although there are ways to get around it. Windows 98 is kind of a mess when you start throwing it at high-end hardware. I think there's also a CPU speed issue when you get above 2.1 GHz, but I've never actually run into that because I don't install it on CPUs that fast. I think the maximum drive size for Windows 98 natively is something like 127 gigs, It's somewhere around there. But like with most of the other issues, I'm pretty sure there's a way to get around that hard drive limit
well this must be the first computer from a warzone that DEFFFO can't play warzone. I remember upgrading as a teenager to one of these from an AMD K6 2 300, kept the 3DFX voodoo 2 card up until last year when it was sold on eBay for a whole £65 which was more money than a RX580 would have brought me. It was a great computer for the time never had any issues with it
I think you found a bit of a treasure there, seemed to work without too many problems
@@bulldogboy100 honestly, I was genuinely surprised. I was certain there would be some sort of issue with it, and it just kind of... Worked. I didn't even really do anything to it, all I did was clean it. Of course, I'll be upgrading it later, but for now I'm just happy it was a somewhat simple video to film
You have effectively done a recap of a re-cap. Perfect!
@@ewasteredux The previous owner of the board had replaced three of the capacitors, but the vast majority of the rest were original, and even the ones the previous owner had installed were bulging at this point lol
@@LowSpecActionSquad , a recap of a re-cap of a re-cap.... excellent!

😒👍 It's all about the Pentiums 🐢🐢🐢
My new favorite channel...
i found your videos a few weeks ago and i really loved them manly because you take old PC parts and Repurpose them. and i watched this one and so far i have not seen you rebuild them and i loved it. so i got to ask did you go to school to learn how to do this ? why i ask is because i want to go back to school and learn to do this but i am lost as to what classes i should take. if you have any insight it would be really appreciated. but thanks for the videos i really like how you do them
@@chaos1291975 I hate to admit this but I mostly learned from trial by fire. I've always had to repurpose old PCs, not just for fun but for my actual computer as well, and I've accidentally killed more than my fair share of computers. Whether by installing a capacitor backwards, forgetting to change the jumper settings for CPU voltage, or full sending it with bulging capacitors. I've also once forgotten to change the power supply input voltage settings from 115 to 230 before I plugged it into a 220 outlet. There's a lot of good resources on KZread, so although I have ruined a lot of hardware, I've learned every step of the way how to not do that again
@@LowSpecActionSquad thanks for getting back to me . that is how i have been learning i never was a learn by book person i have always had to do it . i started out building guitar foot pedals then did a guitar amp and i was hooked now i try fixing everything i can lol well your channel is a very good resource . there just is not much about the old stuff and how it all started . so thanks again and and take care and stay safe.
those old cases are pretty tough, I like to find perfect 2000's cases and stuff 7800x3d's in them. 😂
@@GoonyMclinux absolutely!
Man why does this channel not have more subscribers, it's a fuckin gem.
I have several old mobo's laying around pentium2,pentium3, think i may have a 486 mobo stashed aswell.
The Voodoo is fine, Because of the Glide, but the Geforce 2 has better compatibility for older games.
After watching both videos, I think you should verify HDD performance with a disk benchmark like Atto, and memory performance with Sisoft Sandra. It just feels odd that the CPU upgrade made such a big difference. Did you check the ATA mode on the controller?
@@looks-suspicious 100%, that was the only reason I even made a second video because it just felt so wrong. I know 1.8 isn't very fast, but it still should have been absolutely crushing it. An 800 MHz boost shouldn't have doubled or tripled the performance... That's why I kind of think there was an i/o problem with the old CPUs. I actually didn't check the ATA mode on the controller, but it shouldn't have changed with just a CPU swap, and if the mode was incorrect (which is absolutely still possible) I think it still should have been pretty slow, at least for load times. Good suggestion though, I'll write those down on my list of things to do for this tower
Hello from Ukraine. Thanks for the interesting videos)
$20 is good price for that computer, i think you did not burned out
likely ATM-12 "advance tactical missiles 12 tubes"
One of my friends called it out moments after I posted the video lol, I posted a correction in the description. Thank you though! I wasn't familiar with the ATM missiles :P
14:30 it s different mad cat. not the mad cat prime.
Oldie but goodie computer probley be good emulates
Beeg Timby
Surprised there weren't as many spiders in there! Also, is that an Urbie in the background I spy?
Ehehehehe
Do you have a 3D printer?
Sort of, it has never worked though. I have a friend who has one
@@LowSpecActionSquad , I have... more than one. If you need help getting it working, let me know. As a hobby, I buy them broken from eBay for pennies on the dollar and fix them. If you wanted to print your own versus buying miniatures, I can likely help. If you are not interested, I understand.
💕
Lentiiummm 😅😂
you're car looks like spaceship, bro i think you need a spacesuit to be alive during drive
2:43 😂
dude you sound like me... I know i grabbed fans where i put i just grabbed them too..lol
just for doing this video and the reason and also the battery comment new sub from me 100% FIRE bro
I always build and sell on marketplace, always looking for that deal, been using Macbid for cases and monitors lately. I got to a point now that I only sell computers with SSD's, and Core 2 quads or AMD equivalent is as old as I would go for modern stuff anymore, if it can't run windows 10 smoothly or decode a 4k KZread video, I don't want it, I can't do much with it. I gave away my old Athlon's and Pentium 4's and IDE stuff for free with DDR ram and that fun old stuff, the recycling place here wants you to pay for the items you bring in which is dumb, so threw it all in a box and listed them for free.
what was their reaction for computer?
@@magomedmakhmudov2945 unfortunately it wasn't a spectacular reaction lol, but they were definitely excited. I've heard the kids really like the computer and have been playing lots of games, but I think the mother and father were more excited about the computer than the girls were lol.
you seems a good person, i respect it❤🩹
You could try some mosfet heatsinks with adhesive. Just peel and stick. Better than nothing. I was thinking the difference you were seeing would come down to cache, but as far as I can tell these don't even have L3. There are some that do have L3 and are at 400mhz. I think they'd work too, but who knows? Its the Gallatin family that has the L3 cache. I think you might be able to make some am3/am4 style brackets work on that board. I mean you'd have to drill out holes to screw them down, but gotta be better than those jet turbines. that noise would drive me nuts.
I've been thinking of that, the mosfet heat syncs, but have not really committed to anything yet. I do plan on replacing the heatsync fans with noctua ones, I mean, they are only 60 watt CPUs, so shouldn't need anything fancy. I also might be able to put a quieter fan that blows directly at the VRM, that would be better than the 1/2 amp fan out of a server that I crammed into the floppy bay. This PC needs a lot of work still, and I have a few things coming to make for a hell of a follow up video. I'm also going to mess with the clock multiplier to see if that actually does anything. Next weekend I'm hoping to be able to put out a nice socket 370 video where I replace all the capacitors on a motherboard I had shipped all the way from Ukraine. Just waiting on the case at this point
@@LowSpecActionSquad Not sure I'd mess with the multiplier. There's probably a good reason newer versions of the board had heatsinks on the vrm. Plus with two cpu's its like double the odds something won't like it and fails. If you really want it to run faster, I'd probably try the cpu's with L3 cache - after adding mosfet heatsinks. Enzotech is the brand I've used before and had good luck with them. Once you stick them on, they really do stick in place well. I remember thinking they'd fall off and short something, but never happened.
Assuming it wasn't real aluminum facia, I approve!
I wish it was lol, nah, this was typical GM plastic garbage
duh you have to sodder them in bro
wire tie cable management is must
"What is that? It looks like a oldschool subwoofer box" *Clicks on the vid* OOOO.oooooo
lol holy fuck you have my old case.
@@DnaKGames they are awesome cases lol, at least when the fans work
@@LowSpecActionSquad Man, those big ass fans broke on me like 10 years ago 😂. ended up making it an open case to dissipate the heat eventually
Beautiful, I like the case, is a piece of art 😄
Which case is that, may I ask?
@@WalkerArt-64 pretty sure it is the XCLIO A380
Nice
That case looks like it can give mine a run for it's money. No lie, mine weighs about 50+ lbs after being fully populated 🥵
