Seven(!) years ago, I tore down and jokingly "retired" my original gaming PC - a home-built aluminum monster that I put together in 2002-2003. In this video, my goal is to turn it into an all-in-one retro gaming PC for DOS, Windows 98 and Windows XP - but at this point, that means almost literally bringing it back from the dead. This PC was built during the capacitor plague era and many of its major components were right at the edge of total failure. Watch as I stop the bleeding with some new capacitors, make some new hardware additions and get all three OS's up and running smoothly, with game demos! This is a long, long video I know. I thought about breaking it up into smaller segments, but didn't think any of them would be interesting enough on their own. So, whatever - watch it all at once or pause whenever you like and come back to it later. I leave the choice to you! Chapters are included for you to skip around as desired. 00:00 Intro and history 05:16 New additions, BIOS demo 10:10 Teardown 18:45 PSU intro and basics 23:10 PSU teardown and recap 34:28 Motherboard intro and recap 45:38 Completing reassembly 54:59 Testing! 58:32 More "new" hardware and DOS games! 1:03:18 Showing off tri-boot, Win98 and XP games 1:14:07 Outro
