Great set of videos Patrick, I love doing the full restorations and mods myself, I've done and sold on about 25-30 systems in the last 7-8 years, obviously with the time taken and the finished lowish value I certainly don't make money from it but I get a great buzz out of and really enjoy the work rescuing them and putting them back to a reliable usable state for someone else to enjoy. Keep them coming, thanks for your content! 👍

Yea one will not get rich doing this 🤣 I spent like 60€ refubing two MB's and sold them for like 100€ total with cpu, cooler and ram so some profit but not much. A lot of my systems are built on parts people discarded as wast and they are some of the most stable systems on our retro lan parties. I rater have recaped and repaired MB's and GFX cards then one that is original and have had no service in its life. TY for watching and have a good day!
Many youtube channels just play with old computer parts, but most of these parts need work in order to work stable and reliable. You have done it right. All has been restored and make ready for longevity and reliable use. I really like pentium 1-3 computer beacuse they where about real 3D. Unlike 486 which is good for 2D maybe 2.5D. I saw original ticker spec on this system and saw that originally pc was equipped with riva TNT. As you mentioned would be great to compare both cards Banshee against TNT 1. Would be great to see more 3D games from 1998. Unreal, Half Life, Thief. Great restoration so far

I made a Bonus video, coming next week. Might contain what your looking for 😁 P.S this system has been working many days and night for the last 3 weeks running and testing some OpenGL software I wrote. The last 48h its been on non stop sometimes running my OpenGL demo overnight with no crashes of system or software. I would say its pretty dam stable system now, did take a swap of that crap PC125 ram tough (no system I ever tested liked that ram).
Well; early 90’s 3D games was all software rendering. With a fast 386 you can run real 3D with affine texture mapping and sprite based NPCs at like 10-20 FPS(ultima underwrld) in a small window. With a fast pentium 2 something like 400x300 quake or 640x480 system shock is as far as you’d want to go. That’s all you get for that extra CPU speed. The real advancement was 3D acceleration and 3D positional audio (which hasn’t been improved upon since the aureal vortex 2). It takes a stupid amount of brute force to do anything in software. A fast 486 with a voodoo (pci motherboard) is surprisingly competent in something like quake and turok. Anything like HL or UT that really hits the CPU for bone skinning and similar will choke.
for ata 66/100/133 u have to use an 80 wire ide cable to get the full speed. cd drives don't mater what kind of cable there connected to as they don't even connect at ata 33 speed.

Yes and i440BX is only ATA33 and the original 40 short wire cable was used. Overclocking the FSB overclocks the ATA bus also making the signal integrity poor on 40 wire cables. 80 wire cable always have superior signal integrity even at less then ATA 66 speeds because of the separate ground wires for every signal wire. But a 80 wire cable wont make the transfers any faster on this system but it would allow for longer cable if needed or higher ATA clocks speeds when increasing the FSB. The only thing 80 wire cables will do on this system is allow me to run a longer cable at 112Mhz FSB where the IDE bus is effectively running at ATA37 speed due to being overclocked.
Solid build, it turned out really well.

Bravo pour vos vidéos, J’adore👌👌👍👍
Would be great to see some more pc gaming On this computer build
Yea I also want to game but there is just so much time one have per day.
But I see about running some other games next time the P2 is due for a Video.
