I’m impressed by your videos because I’ve seen others that claim restoration but do not go into depth when restoring these old pc computers. I mean you even go through the process of cleaning wires and screws so they look nice and new as well. To me, your videos are the real way to restore them. Great job!
I've been building and refurb/restoration since 1994, I have done monster pc's (fun hobby) never thought of doing a video turned many rust bucket into sports cars lol. not a bad video thumbs up to this person
For retrobrighting: use a bucket with water and hidrogen-peroxid. Get a few meter of UV LED strips. Wrap the bucket around with the LED strips and with alu foil to reflect back the UV light. Much, much easier and u can avoid the "marble effect" on the plastic. I did it with my Commodore 64 and the result was perfect.
Great Video, memories of building PCs in 1991 and how much fun it was back then, everything was exciting, it seems that everyone worries about their frame rate nowadays but we just loved having a home computer.

21:30 You have 32 Megabytes of RAM there, not Gigabytes lol. I had to do a double take when I saw a computer that old and you said "32 GB". I was like "There's no way..."
My first computer was a Pentium 100MHz 8Mb RAM. This 166MHz you restored was state of the art at the time, only the richest of my friend could afford it.
A miracle that it turned on 😂 Anyway don't build computers by MR.NVC Motherboards and other components(hdd is even more impact-sensitive), even with slight shocks, can experience micro cracks in the solder, which can then lead to component damage.
Amazing job of cleaning and restoration. Congratulations! Most modern US vloggers just wouldn't have the skill and confidence to do this - with the probable exception of MikeTech (but he's a god amongst vloggers). 😄
Amazing when the plastic housing turned white again with the washing solution and sunlight. Looks nearly like my first pc with 800mhz cpu and 128gb ram. Greetings from Germany :)
@@beforelifewaschaos I know, It's hard to think in terms of mega- and kilo- today, with such gigantic memory, storage, and speed specs common now. My first computer had a 30 megabyte hard drive, and I was assured I'd 'never fill it', lol. That drive was a full-height MFM unit that weighed easily eight pounds and cost upwards of $3000 new. It sounded like a jet engine spinning up, too. Today, I can buy a 32 gigabyte USB flash drive the size of a keychain and get enough change from a $20 that I can grab a couple of things off the dollar menu at McDonalds. Easily a thousand times the capacity, and even that is considered 'puny' now. The numbers and prefixes they throw around today were completely within the realm of science fiction 25-30 years ago. I remember being astonished when they got a 486 up to 100 megahertz. And when a one-gigabyte hard drive fell to a price point under $200 - and I still needed a BIOS overlay to run it. And the hideous cost I paid when I upgraded my 386dx from 4 to 8 megabytes of memory.
Great restoration, but i really recommend you wash the electronic parts like you did with the case and everything else (except for the hard disk drive). It wont damage them, you know. As long as there is no electric source and that you dry them well; it's perfectly ok. You're losing your time with that toothbrush. Also, you can use vinegar to neutralise/remove corrosion on parts you can't sanblast. And put some oil in the fan's bearings, like at 14:25 Last thing : you can use thermal paste between the CPU and it's cooler. Computer from that era usually don't need thermal paste as they don't run too hot, but the CPU will still run cooler, wich will increase it's lifespan.
I remember those days, built my own pc then as it was the cheapest way to go. Windows 95 that locked up from time to time . Got my first cable broadband connection then, it was only 1 Mbps but a lot faster than dialup lol.
Even this old PC is electronic masterpiece, most of us today don't even touch how it worked in its inner workings and how it was put together from those little electronic element. Not to mention this "Primitive" software called Windows 95. Try to write this today from scratch.
You earned my sub. That was a real effort at a restoration that most would never even try. Looks like a P5, that is just a little short of XP, darn it.
Windows XP will run on a Pentium Overdrive, which is a 63 or 83 MHz Pentium heavily modified to work with the 486 bus. This machine will run Windows XP if the memory is bumped up over 64 MB. It won't be fast, but it will run.
Nice work on the final result, love the silver paint job. Also appreciate that you still used the original hard drive, seems like everyone just deflects to using CompactFlash adapters these days...
