Building a Low Budget Year 2000 PC for Retro Gaming!

In this video I am building a budget year 2000 PC to try and recreate the experience of owning a cheaper computer back then. This is part 1 where I will build the PC. In part 2 I will try out some games and benchmarks.

Windows ME?!

Love the choice of Windows ME! Love the whole build process, cleaning everything, restoring it. It's satisfying! Looking forward to watching you take her for a spin!

[@ljrretropcs]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jasmijndekkers]

Nice restoration you did. I like your channel. Greetings from Steven from the Netherlands

[@ljrretropcs]

Thank you very much!

[@oliveringram5856]

Great to see you back after so many months!

[@ljrretropcs]

More to come!

[@66mhzbrain]

Welcome back! Nice to have something for tualatin even if it has no agp. I've yet to get hold of anything that can run them. Will be interesting to see how it performs!

[@ljrretropcs]

Certianly looks to be a fun board to tinker with!

[@Kundalini12]

Nice build. I probably would've gone for Windows 2000 just for the Legacy Update support.

Nice video mate, that case cleaned up well. I like these types of builds, it's not all about the best and fastest - good to see what an average home users pc was like back then. Great job as ever Lewis.

[@ljrretropcs]

Thanks man! So many builds focus on being the best from a certain period...But many of us never had anything like that back in the day!

[@gammitinofficial]

@@ljrretropcs absolutely mate, I'm with you. Great vid

[@jonchapman6821]

Great video, glad to have you back.
I used to have that case, I’d recognise that power button anywhere 😆
Interesting board too, I’d not heard of that brand. I should really see if any of my 370 boards support Tualitin now that I’ve got a CPU.

[@ljrretropcs]

Thank you! It seems quite an interesting board, Has SB emulation settings in the bios which seem to sort of work! Lots of tweaker settings too.

[@jonchapman6821]

And I love your choice of Windows ME, it’s always been a favourite of mine and I never found it to be a problem like so many people did.

[@dennisp.2147]

With no AGP slot, I'd be sorely tempted to treat it as a kind of "Super Socket 5" board. Throw in a PPGA Mendocino core Celeron at 300mhz and run Windows 95B on it.

Good stuff

[@ljrretropcs]

Appreciate it
