20 year old PC teardown and demo - Windows XP, gaming and more!

First, yes I still have this PC as of 2026. It has even made the move with me to Japan! I've fully recapped it (look through my other videos; that's here too) so it's like new again, and protected for the foreseeable future. So don't get too hung up by the ending of this, or anything else I say in here. At the time, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with this machine, but I did keep it and I still use it. This computer began life in 1993 as a Packard Bell 486SX/25 and eventually morphed into a fairly powerful custom gaming PC (by 1990's standards). In my latest retro computing video, I get it running again one final time just for you guys, before finally tearing it down completely and showing you all the hardware I had inside. I won't spoil it by posting the hardware list - you'll just have to watch until the tear-jerker of an ending. This video is just something quick while I work on a few more complicated videos, and it's more or less by request from some of the commenters in my $20 laptop video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NdJ6BbvTw-s This computer isn't really powerful enough to run OBS Studio and I don't have a VGA or S-video capture device (all that the graphics card in this computer supports), so I had no choice but to just film the TV as I was using the PC.
