Back in the 90s an Australian company called Hypertec created desktop computers for about a year, then gave up! Today we're using and cleaning up this rare Hyperformance model that's running windows 95. #vintage #computer #windows95

Should I make videos about some of the other desktops I received in that pile? Which one looks the most interesting to you?
What usb do you use? And if you use Time Machine on mac what usb do you use for that? Can you link it?
absolutely
How about the eucalyptus oil again? ;)
I just wanna know how to get some eucalyptus oil in the US. Apparently, we don't like it here.
Could you try seeing my laptop
I love your chill narrative, knowledge and love for old hardware.

It was very common to have DMI / IRQ conflicts between network and sound cards back in the day. This is why when Windows 95 came out, "Plug and Play" devices were all the rage.
Of course, those of us who really lived it know that as "Plug-and-Pray"...
Like with the Windows 98 BSOD on LIVE TV! 😂
But it’s a nice pc bruh
Plug and pray that it works and rage because you need to install drivers
Boy does this make me feel ancient! 🤣 The start up tune definitely brought back fond memories of my old PC's of yore! Don't believe I ever built a desktop box, always preferred the towers... oh the memories. Thanks for that 😊
My nickname is also Moe thats crazy, well i guess we both find older pc's intriguing lol
You find this in the trash while people like me pay €50 for that
why would you pay for this - these are trash they have no purpose completely obsolete and useless in the modern world. all possible uses this could even have, a new computer could do the same exact thing, run the same software or the OS but why even do that when there is way faster and more feature filled software new. there’s literally no justification for these existing in the economy and taking them from recycling is disgustingly selfish and harmful to society.
yeah
In what world are you paying only 50EUR for that? Out here there is no local vintage PC market so I'd have to pay hyperinflated prices on eBay -- I'd have to pay $100 with $80 shipping, minimum.
You'd be surprised just posting an ad how many people have vintage stuff to give away if you're willing to pick it up. I was picking up all old hardware but tbh the market is pretty limited I usually fix / clean components and sell them for a minimal profit but yet I can't sell much of that old stock even if like new...
"Recycling centres" don't exist where I'm from, the closest thing are junkyards with washing machines and stoves at best. IF you find a TV it's always broken beyond repair, and never have I seen a computer. I love this channel and other similar ones but in all honesty, watching these make me really sad I cannot follow the hobby. People here charge you absurd amounts even for DDR2 RAM if you can at all find it, too.
I haven't seen a Hypertec in yearrrrrs. Back in 1997 my local library got one, same model as this actually that they hooked up to the Internet via good ol' 28.8 dialup, for one hour every week I used the Internet on this machine. As a 12 year old Mac geek I remember devouring every Mac related site I could find, and also remember talking to people in chat rooms. I miss when the Internet was new and exciting and fun
I literally owned one of these beautiful beasts. Remember how I tried to get XP on it but it wounldn't work. I was so sad. I thought it would be my forever PC. (This was when I was a kid). Still a wonder of history though. :) Great video! I LOVE the camera angles!!
dam ur old
@@agentburningbutters3655 he's so old that the milk in his profile picture didn't age
so what happened to that computer? do you still have it around ?
@@agentburningbutters3655 Dude, you're like 13. You think anyone not still going through puberty is old.
@@user-ce5or8us7v yes what happened?
7:16 i still remember that legendary startup sound when i used Windows 95 in 2006
This was our first Windows PC in 1999, was an ex office workstation. Had a Pentium 100, 16MB RAM and Win 95, later upgraded to 32MB RAM and Win 98 when it became my own PC in my bedroom circa 2002-2003, as we had again obtained another old ex workstation around 2001 as the family PC (this time an MMX, 64MB and 98SE)
This brought back some good memories.
The last ex workstation PC was an IBM with a Celeron, 512MB RAM and XP that we got in about 2005 when we finally stopped dealing with second hand underspecced computers, but they did the job. That served us well for about 3 years and then I think we pretty much went with laptops as I had just started working etc.
Funnily enough when I got my Packard Bell, it also had the textures in 3d maze set to the psychedelic mode. Maybe that was a craze in the mid 90’s.
Yep, I remember the Hypertec brand from back in the day. They rebadged a lot of generic components.
That is a nice neat build and those blue buttons and wave decals are bringing back some nostaliga!
Thanks for the video! Very enjoyable to watch
These horizontal beige towers are so nostalgic...
They're called "desktop cases"
Ah, brings back memories. The company I used to work for in the early 90s supplied Hypertec their bare circuit boards for their Hyperam, they used to be in North Ryde. I recall their voyage into building pc’s started with great promise but local manufacturing costs proved too much. They were brilliant quality computers however. Thanks for the video and the memories. 😊
Would love to see a teardown and see how that weird colour Acer system runs :) It looks in fairly fantastic condition :o
8:08, i thought the game required by law to test on old machines would be Planet X3 😁
ah, a fellow 8BG enjoyer?
@@bassboostedmoonchao of course
Interesting video as always. Keep up the good work..
I love these old machines. great video m8.
Another one? 😆 Great video man, it was great to see such a machine brought back to life!
Nice job. Thank you for sharing.
Bringing back good memories, so do moore videos of old stuff..! Greetings from Norway..!
lovely video once again mate
great video! luv ur vids
I grew up on Windows 95, so I have a fondness for it. Great seeing this video resurrecting a PC with that OS !
I don’t know anything abt computers but i love listening to your excitement haha
Great work true legend never forgotten ❤️ old computer 💻 I love old laptops and pc tower take my back when I was at university studying computer science with Emily latree 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 miss you my friend ♥️
That thingy on the back is some sort of hardware key. It would've been used for some proprietary software that requires the key to load up and function. A lot of HMI stuff I work with still does this.
Love retro tech nostalgia
That startup sound ❤
This man found a classic, while I found a binge watching channel
Definitely remember Hypertec. I have a few computer magazines with advertisements from them. Great video!
If you've got screenshots or scans I'd love to see them!
Another fantastic memory, thank you.
Love older tech amazing review true legend never forgot 🥰
Great video!
Good to see others saving old hardware. I have several old/vintage PC's, the oldest ones being XT/8088's. My oldest computer though is my Commodore 64, the first (of 3) bought in 1983. But my oldest machine is a Coleco Telstar Ranger game console bought in 1977. I do not really collect computers, I just keep what me & my family have bought over the years & I have become the de facto owner of them after they have become obsoleted, simply because I just hate throwing away machines that still have some use in them, so that includes vintage computers.
that's nice a retro computer that is neat and great to revisit a decade later
Gday mate, I had a Hypertec 166MHZ upright PC with windows 98 from standard, was very similar to this one 👍
Wow! I still remember that start up sound.
🙂
All versions of Windows 95 liked to assign conflicting resources to sound cards, most often the parallel port. If you'd manually change one's resources it would change the other device to match. So then the only recourse was to manually assign both the sound card and whichever device Windows was insisting on improperly assigning resources to match it.
Windows 98SE was when Microsoft finally got Plug N Play working correctly. I encountered many PCs that had problems with Windows 98 original that worked fine with 98SE.
Great video
The beige looks great 👍 👌 😀
Great video! I like it
I can't wait to see the others especially the Acer and NEC units
7:17 Did you know that British musician Brian Eno (he worked with U2 and co-produced some of their songs) composed the Windows 95 startup chime? According to an interview, he composed the startup chime on a Mac, and said he never used a Windows PC and he just didn't like them.
I Vuagely remember the hypertec and this case. I think we had them in our school after OSBORNE and before IPEX. But when you say 'this really old pc' it sort of made me realise how old I am now :\
I would speculate that whole case was made by Enlight. It has all the hallmarks of an Enlight case. One of may favorite cases back in the day.
Not as sturdy as some old 286/386 cases back in the day, but still a well built case.
i love your videos just wished they were alittle bit longer
Nice job cleaning it up and getting it working well enough. Am wondering why the 3.5" drive bezel front wasn't cleaned up as well to look lighter. No biggie, was just a thought.
I nice to see a old pc like this. It remindme why im in the 40 now.
The problem is a conflic with the irq resources. This can be manually change in the preference of the device.
Now it changes automatically.
Age of empires and celeron thing was same for me also
7:39 I had that game from an eGames CD compilation. I would lock up my Windows XP computer no matter what I did.
Good to see another old PC being saved.
I remember back in 1995. I saving my allowance for couple of years and bought this pentium 133 mhz. After college my dad threw it away to dumspter. 27 years later everytime isaw somebody post this pentium 1 pc. My heart is really sad. Thank god you rescue this pc bro.
The case design is interesting, back when this was sold new I wanted a "power tower", pizzaboxes where mundane School and office material to me but now I feel nostalgic about the format ...
try changing the IRQ number of the audio card (in the driver section), then you can run the network card at the same time. I believe I had similar issue about 25 years ago
I live in the US and I love watching these old computer videos. It makes me want to build computers again.
Not me. I remember crying like a kid, cause I couldn't figure out what was seated improperly on the motherboard, pins in the wrong place in the hard drives, a sysfig command out of place. Ide vs scsi. These are not fond memories. I stop building clones, round 2006.
When’s the next car update? I would love too see one, you should probably change the oil in the thing too. Those I6 engines are bulletproof, especially the Barra.
Sure brings back memories.
It is a good idea to take a picture of the inside with your phone before taking apart a PC or part of the car so that you can know how to put it back together
HyperFormance is a nice play on words. “High Performance”. Clever!
The term you are looking for to describe that PSU (and motherboard) is AT Formfactor... Rather than the ATX everybody knows today.
I remember Hypertec! We sold them for a short time, it was sad to see them fail.
Hey Nathan. What did you plug in the speaker at 7:18 with red cable. I had seen it in many videos and in the iphone reviews also.
I've collected and built many old PC's over recent years I want to get more to fill up my cupboard with them. I mainly just enjoy building them but I only ever use them for about a week or so before building or getting another beige box to work on. I set two up in my living room and a 486 in the dinning room, the others are in the cupboard. I have about 20 so far.
Its good to see you wasn't using that CF card as the main drive because a lot of people don't understand the damage it does using CF cards as hard drives and so many people are doing it. CF cards are best used as slave drives. I also like the fact its running Windows 95 because many would chuck Windows 98SE on it. 133MHz processor is better suited to Windows 95 and DOS. I like the horizontal beige boxes the best with manual on/off switch.
Hypertec used to sponsor North Melbourne Football Club, they were their jumper sponsor when they won the 1996 Premiership!
This brings back memories...
I Totaly Enjoyed myself & was Satisfied...
finally you repaire this next can you repair the red vaio netbook
Okay, I was getting the impression this was a stoner’s computer the whole time, but the screensaver really confirmed it for me. What a piece of history!
I love your videos.
I was a 2010's kid but for some reason this gave me a weird sense of comfort and... nostalgia?...
I have a 486 Tandy 2100 that is in a very similar case to that one. Interesting.
Nice video
I have one of these. Came with with a 100mhz Pentium CPU and 850MB hard disk. I fitted a 200mhz Centaur "WinChip" RISC CPU and an 8.4GB drive and a network card. Mine has an 8x CD-ROM drive.
Hey @Psivewri Keep this set this up as a retro DOS/Win9x gaming rig!
I remember when I received my copy of Windows 95 beta floppy disks. It was the best day of my life installing it over windows 3.1.
0:27 i like that dell optiplex
Lookin Nice
Good old IRQ conflict
I could imagine making one of these into a sleeper pc.
still have mine in the shed and a old tandys pc
After seeing the MS Excel-Icon on the Desktop: Would be interesting to run the Monte-Carlo Benchmark/Simulation on these machines.
I remember tossing a 1995 IBM Pentium into the dumpster in 2006 because it was taking up space. It was fine, it worked fine, it was a tank. What a regret.
Remind me childhood memories 🥰
After all that hard work you got your self a fully working pc from the 90’s😁
Sounds like you need to change IRQ settings in bios for the sound and ethernet.
new video = great day!
You should be able to get the dark scuffs off the case with a magic eraser.
This is when I built my first clone. I was amazed how easy it was. Well, on my 2nd try. I fried the motherboard, the first time. I connected the p1, p2 power connectors in reverse. Ouch!
In Australia in the 80/90 before Ethernet any use Novell network?
Reminds me off ''Dynalogic Hyperion''...
make music with this will be much fun
What usb do you use and can you link it?
Who would throw such a nice beauty away?
It's useless to most people, so I can easily understand how they want to get rid of a big box that can't help them with tasks anymore. To retro computer enthusiasts though, it's gold.
@@8bitbubsy I get that lol. Was being rhetorical.
@@MarcoGPUtuber Oh, okay. I've seen people in UA-cam comments calling other people names for trashing retro computers, and the sad part is that they seem to not be few and far between. 🙂
@@8bitbubsy Eh. There is no situation in which it's justified for people to be a dick and verbally abuse another person. IMO.
Ewasteben would be getting moist at the thought of a ceramic processor for gold recovery.
Haven't seen the windows 95 Logo in some time lol
im a south aussie too! :)
jumpers, DMA channels, IRQ interrupts...WOW...the good ole' days!!!
I have two computers from 2000s and they have some issues I don't know what to do with them because nobody repairs them in these days,I wish if I can sell them to him
oh i seen this on your Twitter that Diamond Icon Vexed me for hours finally had to give up
I wish i found a windows 95 computer from the trash it is hard
Yeah, it's not easy to find computers this retro in the trash anymore. It was way easier in the early 00s. I remember getting a few 486 computers that way, good memories.
@@8bitbubsy that's true today usually what you will find in the trash is a computers from the 2000s and leter but my goal is to find a laptop / retro laptop from the trash but i didn't found one yet it is harder finding a laptop then finding a pc from the trash
It was a reuse store I bought a vintage DELL wired mouse from back when Windows XP was around I will make a video about it on my new UA-cam channel called
Vintage pc stuff collector repairs possible cleaning on the roller due to some sticky beverage on the side of the mouse. Though it still scrolls good
UPDATE- Vintage pc stuff collector repairs is my new youtube channel and it may be hard to find since I made the channel yesterday stay tuned for a video on it
How much RAM this PC has, and what capacity is the hard disk?
