Even managed a 13:37 runtime! That's some elite editing. XD

It's crazy how good a game from 2004 still looks today! Doom 3 is just amazing.

Up next: All New Windows 7 20th Anniversary Build in 2029

I had the same case back in the 2Ks. Built several systems with them. They came with handy carry straps, but no dust filters. I had UV CCFL tubes too. They turn the clear acrylics brown after a few years! Those games brought back some memories.

Your Windows 98 PC build back in 2018 was one of the best videos I've ever watched... I haven't even started watching this yet and I already know it's going to be amazing! Keep it up!

What an amazing coincidence! 😁 That build blows mine out of water... I'm very impressed - this is actually the ULTRAXP's big brother! Glad there were no leaked caps this time, loved this video)

Very attractive build. XP is still so fresh in my memory and I have a period HP D530 SFF running it for occasional fun. The new filming studio is working great too. Good luck with it all.

I got introduced to your videos with your 98 build and I must say, this video perfectly matches the energy of that video. This is simply incredible, keep it up man.

Had no clue caps could leak just out of old age without actually being used.

Damn, that pc looks fantastic. Really miss these kind of pc cases.

I've put together a couple of rather basic builds a few years ago just to practice building PC's and I slapped a CX430M into my P4 build, was nice to see you bring it up on camera at least!

I love the gameplay with the real box sat next to the screen. That's such a power move! haha great stuff. And might I just say there is an extra dynamic punch to these recent videos which I'm guessing is in some part connected to finally getting a space you can breathe in and feeling inspired to create.

Alright now that I've finished: I actually had this Antec case back in probably 05-07! Mine was quite worse for wear but it was indeed one of the best cases I ever owned before 2010. I loved the captioned titles of the games, each one of them made me chuckle. That's also an incredibly impressive library of games to play on this beautiful machine, and they all run so much smoother than the Pentium system I had at the time ever could. I remember playing Quake 4 at 640x480 with 15-20FPS in the best performing areas and thinking it looked incredible. Never did beat that one! This was a super awesome nostalgia trip and honestly I miss this era of computing. Just the installer music alone sent me on a huge wave of nostalgia. They just don't make the experience as cool as it once was anymore. Windows XP was a huge part of my life for way more years than it should have been. Exposed me to a lot of knowledge about computing, and also how stupid I could be with one. I'll never forget tearing the registry apart to learn every bit of how it worked, watching viruses eat my computer alive because I didn't understand basic computer maintenance as a kid and also put my grubby hands on virtually any download link I could find at the time haha. Thank you Shelby, from the bottom of my heart, for this incredible video

OMG can I just say I missed you this past week!? I got used to updates from the office and I kept checking for more every day. Then it hit me that I really really enjoy your delivery of information, even if it's just your daily activities - or maybe especially your daily activities. No weirdness intended.

Dude massive respect, I plan on doing a retro XP build as well for gaming. This is very inspirational. Great content!

I love the little captions you put for each game.

Boy, the first full video in the new space is killer! Well done! Production quality is great!

Always love it when an anniversary build comes out, well done sir!!!

Several years ago, I owned that very same Sony DVD+-R drive. Loved it. Had very little trouble burning discs with it!!

Great video! Always cool to see people building older rigs.

This hit me right in the nostalgias. Yes, plural.

Gives me the feels. First PC I built was around 2000 as everything I had before then was a upgraded prebuilt. I miss this generation and how unacceptably tacky it was. Solid man.

The windows 98 and XP builds were super interesting to see. Thanks a million!!

Wow! That Antec case looks pretty nice honestly! And it's quite a nice surprise that Antec's been around for that long.

I still have the XP machine I built using that exact case, back when it was newly released. I recently updated the machine by replacing the PATA disk with a 120GB SSD using a SATA to PATA interface adapter and now it boots REALLY fast. Great job on the build!

Back in the day, I used to put my optical drive in the second bay, leaving the top bay empty as an "attic" to shove all the spare power supply cables into. That's what passed for "cable management" at the time!

I really enjoyed the video, it brought back fond memories and made me think about creating a similar setup for games of the time.

I've always wanted to do a similar build with all old stock parts. Awesome vid!

I love videos like this, I get excited even for old builds like this, can't wait for the next one!

I get strong nostalgia pangs seeing the XP installation....so many fresh installations! New office looks to be working out great too!

I didn't know how to react when I saw you play Unreal Tournament 2004 in this ol' beast PC. It was one of the few games I remember playing from my childhood. I loved every second of this video. Really grateful for bringing back so many memories.

This is my favourite video on your channel. And one of the favourites from youtube. Thank you, friend.

I loved this video as well as the 98 build you did! 98 and XP are my 2 favorite vintage versions of Windows ever! I hope to build 98 and XP retro machines soon too! I can't wait for October 25th

A Zboard would be a nice period correct keyboard, especially with the Doom 3 keyset if you can find one! I remember being so jealous of my brother when he got one

So satisfied to watch!! Keeps nostalgic moments alive!

These videos fill me with so much joy and nostalgia. Thank you

That glow tho ❤

Do a cap mod to the old power supply to make it work again! That would be a fun video to see.

So much soul contained in that shot you used in the total dark playing Doom 3. Great video

hey dude. I discovered your channel by accident from the Doom Multi-monitor video. I'm LOVING your stuff!

Haha, had to setup an XP machine a few months ago, found that phone activation service thingy and worked perfectly for me too.

XP gaming builds are the most interesting thing out of all the operating systems I think XP has the most wide variety of hardware I've ever seen which isn't a bad thing makes for fun choices also because of interesting parts you can come across in this era and the fact that it was supported for a really long time.

As someone who has built a Windows 2000 Professional PC, (With slightly newer parts, While retaining some classics) This is actually amazing. We were all hoping for an XP build. And this here is the most amazing XP computer build I've ever seen. Loved every bit of it.

This is my first time watching a video on your Channel and I find it very humorous that you just conveniently have a shelf with every windows install disc (I’m gonna subscribe now)

Oh man, I distinctly remember having that MX700. I loved that mouse. That charging station was so neat back then. Awesome build. Digging the new studio! Also that wizard after the first boot… the music… Windows XP was such a huge part of my youth, so much nostalgia.

Welp, I'm gettin' old XD. This build perfectly exemplifies the era I grew up in, great stuff!

I've watched your Windows 98 PC bud in 2018 and was excited when I saw you did the same to Windows XP, first OS I ever used

Oh man - that case fan with the LEDs shining into the blades... that takes me back. I was working at an independent computer store around this time. We started carrying case mod and water cooling stuff, and all of us had an informal competition for the coolest modded rig. I built in an aluminum case, water cooled and overclocked a Northwood P4, cut my own window (which came out just slightly better than you would expect), installed cold cathode lights, spray painted my drive bezels silver, and of course replaced all the drive LEDs with white and blue ones. Install StyleXP to use a unique skin, and voila ... maximum early 2000s achieved. 😎

I absolutely loved everything about this video. You have gained +1 subscriber! I really appreciate your attention to detail, especially the authenticity side of things. I'm glad you installed the sound card before the OS so we got to hear the elusive XP setup theme! PS. That's a mighty fine collection of old CDs you have there on the shelf! I think I even spotted the original RCT from 1999, one of my all-time favorites!! If you were to give this setup an appraisal for the time period, how much would you say it would cost?

Highly recommend that you recap the entire ULTRA PSU, with the right parts some psu's end up being more reliable than new, and it's worth saving something so unique

Oh my god i waited 2 years for this! Thank you so much!

You just ran through my childhood here. I was lucky enough to have a crazy father who spent all of his spare money on a beast comp and I'd play it when I used to visit him on the weekends. A lot of our bonding came out of him encouraging me to keep playing Doom 3 even though I was terrified of it. He passed in 2012 and I often think about how he never got to see the games that are around now. He loved Flight Simulator and I just know he'd take out a loan to be build a PC that was able to run the latest release of it. Anyway, this was a nice trip down memory lane. Also, he had the same exact speakers. Thanks for this! Subscribed!

Very nice build, I really enjoyed this and your Windows 98 new old stock build! Looking forward to the next time when you're gonna do the upgrades, I hope you can recap the PSU and put that CCFL into the case :) Also on a side note, I liked how you illuminated the Doom 3 box with a flashlight in true Doom 3 style ;)

Great video Shelby. Looking forward to seeing that PSU with the reactive cables getting repaired.

Nice build, nice new studio, great production 10/10 for Tech Tangents =)

That was so nice to watch. thanks!

Love the build! I wish I had hardware half as good as this back then, my XP experience was on a machine with a 1.8ghz AMD Sempron and onboard graphics, a Geforce 4 MX if I remember correctly. I did try to play Doom 3 on it, it did not go well.

YES THIS IS IT I'VE BEEN WAITING ALL YEAR FOR THIS

my first custom build was in this case, Sold it stupidly and spent months hunting for it a few years later. I still love it❤

I am so envious of this build. That boot time though!

A joystick episode with Flight Sim X to really tax it would be interesting, lots of fun flight games around this period

Calling it now. This is gonna be a popular video (relatively speaking). I love old-new builds like this! Thank you!

That XP sound really brings me to tears. Such fond memories.

The GPU's box back day was so cool!

0:36 Hah, the lighting you used for Doom 3 is straight out of Doom 3!

Here's how to activate windows xp: go to regedit, HK local machine, software, microsoft, windows nt, currentversion, wpa events, oobe timer. Then open the oobe timer folder and modify the oobe timer thing in it. Just spam random things in it. Then it's activated

I had that exact same monitor back in the day. It was my first lcd and it lasted until ~2010 when I finally upgraded to my first 16x9 panel. This build was a huge nostalgia trip for me. I had an Alienware with a 3.2ghz hyper threaded P4, Radeon 9800xt, and audigy 2.

Well done mate, really nice vid! The GPU has solid caps, no worries.

I have feeling the 13:37 length wasn’t coincidental.

I went all out with my XP build a few years ago making it my 'end of an era' build using the newest and the best possible hardware to officially support XP. Ended up with a 4790K, a 4 gig GTX 960, Samsung 850 Evo, blah blah blah. The whole idea being to send XP off on the highest note possible and also to ensure that I could run even the latest XP games at their max settings to be able to truly see just how good games of that era could look if you had a system powerful enough to run them maxed out at the time. The irony is that it's more powerful than some entry level modern systems and some of the games I play in excess of a 1000+ FPS lol... But for games like Doom 3, Quake 4, and so forth, the engine they are built off of can actively and evenly use up to four threads. So having a multi-core platform does help especially when you max the settings out.

Beautiful build, very well done. Would’ve loved to have such a beast back then 😄

Thanks for the great video, very nice build and well done with the new parts. Cheers.

I remember my brother having two of those XFX 6800GS cards in SLI. Was certainly cool at the time, and for some games it was awesome. The cooler is fantastic and was a friends choice for his Q6600 back in the day - 3.6GHz without any issues. You should absolutely get an X-Fi XtremeGamer (or XtremeMusic) sound card and an AGEIA PhysX card to make this totally pimpin'. If you want a nice gaming laptop of this vintage I can highly recommend a cheap XPS M1710 (with RGB lights!), the Precision M90 (same machine with Quadro FX equivalent graphics cards and a more serious look), or the Inspiron 9400/E1705 (same machines with lower specced GPUs available and no dock connector, although you can install the beefier graphics cards). Having a Core 2 Duo laptop with a 17" 1920x1200 display and a GeForce Go 7950 GTX for Windows XP/7 is nice. EDIT: Definitely would like to see a PhysX video - I remember the PCI cards and they're dirt cheap now. They seemed cool at the time (of course) but I never did try one of the dedicated cards.

That case is SWEEEET!

you've done a great work, sir. Appreciate it much

You sure bring back a lot of memories for me. My first computer was a Packer Bell with a 386 cpu and a 28K dial of modem. The system was running Windows 2.1 and this was at the time we that didn't have a internet as we know now. I think everyone was using AOL at the time as well. Good old DOS days.

Here's a great idea for a video How about replacing the capacitors in the PSU with solid state ones, as well as maybe checking some other hardware for similar issues and fixing them? Call it a Great Plague Cleanup or something Edit: watched the video to the end, i'm glad you decided to acknowledged the issue. Left the comment because i was kinda partially disappointed that toy just tossed the PSU aside instead of fixing it, since it looks way better than modern ones

I love win xp it’s my favourite os still today

When I saw this video, I clicked on it immediately. I loved the Windows 98 Build and was wondering if you were going to do a build for Windows XP’s 20th Anniversary. Loved the video and can’t wait for the video of the upgrades!

I think I used to rock the very same copper Zalman cooler back in the day! One of the best builds I had ever run with. WinXP were excellent and highly customizable!

those Zalman coolers were so cool! i had one on my VGA (i cant remember the ATI model, but the cooler was a VF1000), i really miss those "creative" coolers Thermaltake also had some pretty funky designs

That keyboard issue is still present in most laptops, even my "gaming" laptop. Granted it's only with the trackpad, but how have we not fixed that yet?

This brings so much nostalgia. I really wish those times came back, man...

This video was a great inspiration to me. I love Windows XP now. Thanks for the inspiration.

13:37 playtime … sweeeet leet

Oh, that Microsoft keyboard. I had one. It would drop connectivity frequently and repeat keystrokes A LOT. 😂 I imagine that having a different wireless mouse by its side makes it even more glitchy! Try the original mouse from the kit if you can. It's really not that bad.

This is really cool to see as someone who never got into pc building until recently

I'm using that case for my server right now, got it at a flea market for $10. Held up very well.

Would’ve been fitting to see GTA 3 on here, since it’s also in its 20th anniversary

Do windows 7 Build

Oh wow, that hardcopy subscriber list has grown so much! Very glad you've had so much support in the last couple of months :)

My builds around that time always had that exact Zalman cooler, and whatever $99 Intel motherboard was available. Nice nostalgia trip.

this is quite nostalgic.. in the worst possible sense.. xddd

When will we get more office-videos?!

Loved the 98 machine videos, and I love this one too! Even the same runtime!

Wow what a coincidence, my Windows XP build video which is coming out in a few days utilizes the exact same case!

Nobody commemorated the 20th anniversary of Win2000. Literally shaking R/N.

Man I just melted when you showcased that old school system case. Also my father got a Sync Master around 2005 and he's still using it to this day, although I think that we may have to get a new one coz the display has turned to green now!😄

Man, I enjoyed this. So many great memories.

you brining back good memories with all those old games of the day
