I forgot to write the total amount of how much this PC cost, but I think the one who looked carefully managed to calculate the price of this PC when it was relevant😅 Here are the timings with prices: CPU: 0:36 Motherboard: 1:31 RAM: 3:01 CPU cooler: 3:34 Case: 4:41 PSU: 6:55 GPU: 7:55

I just love how the 6800XT is just sitting at under 200MHz while running Fallout 3. It's essentially idling.

My first PC was a secondhand PC built in 2004. I bought it in 2007. This kind of PC was my dream back then.

It’s every 90’s kids dream to run crysis

Man, I love old hardware so much.

Back in 2008 my brother had a Sabertooth 990fx mobo, GeForce (remember when that was the shit lol) 8800gt, 8150 be cpu (scandalous), Corsair case, 16gb DDR3 and I drooled over that heap of crap. Watching him play WoW on it with his massive 27 inch flat screen was the greatest thing I had ever seen. To this day that pc sits under my desk just because. He saved for 7 months to build it. I had to sit next to him on his hand me down sempron scorpion pre build pc lol. I have never felt like that again about a pc and I ran it until 2018 after getting it from him in 2014. Of course I grew up and upgraded to real life modern day good kit but no pc has ever made such an impression on me. Watching this made me turn the damn thing on and as soon as windows xp flashed up, it had to go back off. Good times

man these were great times. I had the 4870 X2. That thing was a BEAST. It would actually heat up my room from use though lol

I can't believe 280 is beating 6800xt in some D39 games. lol

Beautiful work! Knowing how much time it takes to set up each and every shot for all the small details you filmed, you put SO much work in to this. :D Great stuff! I would have LOVED to have a pc like this back in the day! 😁

dude, seeing that gtx 280 gave me good memories, not because id have it when it was launch, but because my big brother bought that when i was like 2 years old, and my first gaming pc that i mounted by myself used that gpu in 2018, and to be honest, it worked well regardless that constant 90 degrees temps

It's just me, or this type of video is just therapeutic to watch.

man shows u how well Dead space was made. Looks better than most those games you demo'd and ran better and more optimized. Still looks great today in 2k or 4k

This video made me feel things I didn't know the human body could feel... thank you ❤

Nostalgic! I had this case!!!! SOOOOOO GOOD!!!

I miss my Sagitta, that was a case with some serious personality. My first build had a Athon 64 at 2.0GHz and a ATI X1650 from Saphire. The blue glow from that build is burned into my memory.

This is amazing,brings memories of my first pc in 2005

My first gaming pc in 2009 was a phenom 2 955 be, asus m4a79t deluxe, ati radeon 4890 xfx xxx edition, 4gb ddr3 1600 mhz corsair vengeance, cooler master cm690, hd 500gb seagate 7200 rpm, corsair hx 1000w modular and a cooler master hyper 212. Miss the old days... Greetings from Brazil!!

The performance of Dead Space is actually very impressive with the GTX 280. It looks like it uses all 4 CPU cores fairly well, too. You could definitely bump up the resolution, as the game requires a 60fps cap in order to avoid physics glitches and you're already getting over 100fps. Dead Space is a game that has aged very gracefully and is so well optimized- despite a few technical issues on PC.

Watching this video brought back lots of memories of me and my brother hitting the fle markets and getting pc parts for dirt cheap and gaming on a budget. just got you're self a new sub!

Ore of this. Love the new old builds

Wow this brought back some memories i had the same board Asus p5q with Q6600 8gb of ddr2 and nvidia 9600gt built back in 2008 !

this is so cool! love computers of this vintage 🤩🤩

I have a 775 motherboard some of the most fun Ive ever had with a computer. Just trying to get an older Xeon 771 to work on the 775 board was super fun. couldnt find the micro codes I needed in the end but still. Was fun for the time being

The sound and video quality is awesome. A pleasure for the eyes and ears ❤️

I was surprised the CPU that's not designed for the socket works when you cut into the board in order for it to fit! Many of us will have watched in horror when you cut off the tags on the motherboard, then everything powers up! You could try changing a tower into an RGB with acrylic instead of glass, painting the interior black, then add some lights.

The good ole rusty razor blade. Nostalgia ❤

I enjoyed your video very much. Look forward to more videos like this. Best wishes from Panamá 🇵🇦

Literally it was my first pc box, love it.

superb quality

where did you find that case ive been looking for one of those i had one in one of my first builds and i wanted to get another to remake that build but cannot find one anywhere

I still have that same cpu cooler. I love that thing.

I wanted to see this type of video in a while ty

Mi primer PC fué un Pentium 2. Recuerdo que en ese momento no todos podían tener un PC y entre 12 amigos solo 2 teníamos una. Entonces nos juntamos del viernes al domingo en la casa de un amigo y llevábamos las 2 PC, las conectábamos en red. Mientras 2 jugaban al Age 2, algunos miraban la partida y otros jugaban algún juego de mesa o a las cartas. Otra época.

Great to see the gpu comparison at the end

9:57 This is actually one of my favorite games of all times. Not many people know about it, let alone test it. I am really happy to see it here! :)

Nothing beats those old steel casees. The aluminum junk now strips easy and theres no room for hard drives and dvd drives. I an antec case from 2001 (main rig) with dual xeon 2678 v3 turbo hacked 64gig ddr4 and rtx 2070 super

The sagitta case was one of my favorites. Brings me back to when I had my Smilodon build.

tomb raider underworld looked way too good for 2008 LOL

2909 dollars for the whole build back in the day which in todays money is 4.1k

I want that case! That case is ball to the wall man! great video, I liked all the parts you chose and the era. The giant coolers on the memory was completely ridiculous. you know? just the way we like it lol! I really enjoyed this video. My only thing would be that the video needs more of a soundscape. it was kind of a silent video for the most part. Im not asking you to speak in your videos or play obnoxious music, (thanks for not doing that) but I dunno... needs more audio. some kind of audio. maybe lol

P5q Premium with a slight overvolt too chipset i got a core 2 duo e8400 stable at 4 ghz which i grabbed out of an old hp sff pc that had been discarded at that point, used the same 1066 mhz ocz reapers as you with a chrome anodized heatpipe on there. the Core 2 duo e8400 didn't need that much cooling on 4 ghz either, ran fine with the intel copper slug they sent with the hotter chips on socket 775.

Oh my god, great time, i remember many of these games. ❤

🙂 i picked up a new retro case for my retro 775 build, its called the Cougar MX 330-G PRO, its a new revision, it has the 5 1/4 DVD Drive Slot, since its a modern case it will support modern 3 Fan Video Cards, thanks for the video

Okay now i feel old, and that a relic

At first I thought I was watching a foreign blogger, but then I saw Нова Пошта! Наш живчик!

This was so relaxing to watch! I miss the hardware of those days. I bought a HD4870 with my very first paycheck, back when you could get a high-end GPU for £300

This was amazing to watch, thank you 😎😎🍺🍺

This was in a great era of gaming, when you did not have to spend a lot for more higher end PC parts. 2008-2016ish was a sweet spot.

Is ASMR retro gaming i appreciate that thank you

crazy that a lot of the setups of the original people who first started playing minecraft were like this or worse

I remember when i had Intel Q9550 NVIDIA GTX 295 8GB RAM🥹

holy god that thermal application

Чудова робота :) По коробці з НП зрозумів, що щось тут наше є, і дійсно, опис каналу все видав) Гарний матеріал, цікава ідея, однозначно лайк

Nice looking setup!

mate you are like the Quentin Tarantino of youtuber pc builds with those editing skills

This made me feel old - I remember when I got my XFX GTX 260 Black Edition it felt like yesterday. Now the 280 being 15 years ago I'm thinking "Wait, what? That can't be!". I then realized I used it for nearly 10 years.

The moral of the story: 1. buy modern high end second hand components. I mean from our age. It will give you access to the most modern technology for a fraction of the price and it will also postpone your next upgrade call. 2. Learn how to use the full potential of your computer for other stuff besides gaming. It will keep you away from the consumerism hype that the corporations are putting you in through gaming. + it will develop you further and might finally find a spot where you will really need an upgrade. The sense of satisfaction the then is outstanding. I personally use a Dl380 g6 with 2x X5690, 128gb DDR3, one M2000, one K2200. It is a Solidworks Beast for the cheap,while also holding openproject and nextcloud opened to the internet and done Linux machines

awesome pc! back in 2008 I got Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 - overclocked, Asus P5Q Pro (P45), Cooling -> Mugen 2, RAM -> 2,2GB,OCZ,OCZ2RPR10661G,1066Mhz and 2x Asus EAH3870 CF 😃. I still have an Asrock dual sata 2, 2gb MDT Ram CL2 in my parents' house with another ATI 3870, amd xp athlon 4200+ or 4400+, and 1950 xt club3d as well as a rare ATI Hercules 3d prophet 9700pro with awesome passive cooling made of copper in 9800pro pbc disign

The bottleneck must’ve been crazy when you put in the 6800 xt

that case bring me back to the old days of alienware when they used to be good

ASMR 10/10 unboxing 10/10 video entertainment 10/10

this is a wet dream for every gamer back in 2008

❤ That Copper Fins on Mobo. Subbed.

great video !! what a lovely idea to do this ! What happened with the PC afterwards ?

I absolutely love the raidmax sagitta I first saw it on a windows xp build on eBay and haven’t seen the case since

Hell yeah that’s what I like to see 😊

nice editing... i know... good to see a manufacturer took the guess work out of where to put the motherboard standoffs by labeling them.

those raidmax cases are so beautiful.

this is sublime ! rly cynep

That bottleneck at the end was nuts lol

2008 was the year X58 dropped. If I would do a high end 2008 gaming build I would go for a i7 965 and two GTX 285 in SLI. That was the cream of the crop of 2008. It made the Q9650 and X5482 look like a midrange option. And the GTX 285 was 10% faster then the GTX 280

I wasn't expecting the ASMR when I clicked on this video

When I saw the word "saggita" some core memories emerged.

¡¡Excelentes tomas!! Ha sido un video súper entretenido. 😎👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Was the reason some games on the newer card ran worse frame wise was because it was experiencing a cpu bottleneck bc the graphics card was overloading it or am I messing that up

i have the same cpu fan and it still works.

Why are you using red paper washers on the mobo screws? Aren't the metal screws supposed to connect the ground plain of the mobo to the case?

I can't believe hardware like this is still available. So over the top.

The title confused me. I thought he was going to build a PC for a 15 year old

how the hell did you get that 6800xt working on that platform. Ive tried every mainboard i can think of but couldnt run a single amd card newer or faster than the rx460 on my 775 system.

lapping a processor to use it with mx-4 paste??? also what exactly you doing to the mobo socket and processor??? (to fitting properly?) beside that things, dream pc back then for sure!

*A día de hoy nos damos cuenta que la fuente de poder, en ese lugar del gabinete, absorbe todo el calor generado dentro del gabinete.* *El pci-express 2.0 de la placa madre está limitando la placa de video.*

wow its beautiful

Did the cpu temp change because the different gpu or because you used it outside the pc gaming case

8:06 Нова Пошта ????😮

That psu has the same release date as me

im just surprised that old PSU didn't just blow up

very cool to see the 771 to 775 mod used today. I would've thought the adapter would be hard to find at this point

When you buy a Motherboard and it says CPU not supported.

That thermal paste application made me cry

I built my first legitimate pc for my own money three days ago, the sight of you modifying the cpu socket with a rusty wallpaper knife was one of the most uncomfortable things I ever saw. Great video nonetheless.

P5Q MOBO WAS my dream in those days😍

Nicely shot&edited. About the assembly itself.... Bro,you SHOULD ALWAYS check before the final assembly.

I have done same last year, Asus P5q3, core 2 quad q9650, Kingston 4x1GB ddr 3 1800, GTX 285 BFG 2GB, gt 9600 rog (for physics) , 4x 500 GB HDD RAID 10, and some old atx chase. But I used new gold PSU, I don't want to burn any of this stuff

Cool

It's raw and I like it

Cooler should be zalman, the multicard reader should be a floppy disk combo, also the optical drive should have been a pioneer bd combo other than that and maybe a few even more minor details i agree with the main hardware choices

That processor is shining brighter than some ppls future

This looks mush solid

Still way better than my pc :c
