And here is my latest retro build... a Windows 2000 machine, with a twist! Hope you like it ;)

It will, don`t worry All the computer parts are ready, OS is installed, just waiting for few more parts and off we go

I got my hands on some extra parts, so decided to design something a bit different around them. All the 3D designing is over and detailed, now I am just waiting for some parts to arrive and its building time! Answers: - its a terminal style PC with integrated 17" FullHD laptop Screen - switches control displays and fans - displays show CPU and case temperaures - cables connect integrated speakers and display with the graphics card (that way you can connect external ones - made just for looks) - it will run cool-retro-term terminal emulator just for the looks - it should be done in... a month? Depends on when all the parts will arrive...

Thank you! I also designed a complete new computer case in this style, but for people that only want to install components inside an existing case, not spending alot of time making something like this. I even started a crowdfunding campaign for it. You can can find it on OKpal.com under "Vintage Hi-Fi Computer Case"

Mine is paired with i7 970 @ 3.6GHz, 24 Gigs of RAM, two SSDs and GTX 970... for my usage, still enough. I mostly do 3D graphics and sure, new components would eat it, but there is really still no need for me to upgrade... I think these components will stay in this PC forever. Next PC that I will buy, some day, will be a brand new project

Yeah, thats EVGA X58 SLI Classified inside

Its all airbrushed

20 years ago Intel released Pentium III Coppermine, the last processor to use the unique Slot 1 (SECC2 - Single Edge Contact cartridge 2). This builds is dedicated to the good old times of hunting the 1GHz mark, and to show how even 20 years ago, computers were not that different inside. I started this build when my friend who owns a PC shop messaged me two pictures of a PC and said "I know you like this old crap, do you want it or should I throw it away?". Idea popped in my mind as soon as I saw the computer... and I spent many days designing it in my head, thinking of what can be done and how... which component do I need to get, how to paint, how to this and that... and then, when I came home from vacation, the build started. This is a fully functional Windows 98SE PC now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jmDxOj_Skt8 Other components used in it are: - Epox EP-BX3 Motherboard - 3x 128MB SDRAM - Geforce 2 MX 400, 32MB

Hi all!As someone who likes old Hi-Fi gear and collects old Sanyo Hi-Fi components, I decided to take one old Sanyo amplifier and integrate my computer inside of it. That way I can have my PC as a part of my Hi-Fi tower! I used standard desktop components I had in my PC, but my goal was to have the whole front completely functional, all the knobs and switches.I know this is not the top of the line PC, but it is my baby I have been using for years now and its still serving me great, so be gentle Original amp had to be gutted, and many modifications had to be made to the main shell. While I was at it, I also customized almost all the components inside, and made many parts out of copper and wood.Bottom part of the case had to be separate from top so I could fit original 1978 switches inside, and to make room for three hard drives. I separated bottom and top sections with one piece of hand cut copper plate (2mm thick). Purpose of copper is purely cosmetical, there is no special reason (heat etc) behind it. That plate sits on four steel feet with anti vibration rubber on bottom and top, painted in copper.Back plate is made one part from copper (where motherboard comes), and one part in wood (where graphics card comes).Since there is a serious height problem with that kind of case, I had to use PCI-Express riser to place graphics card horizontally and Noctuas low profile CPU cooler in order for everything to fit inside.Graphics card and motherboard both got a new paint job and wooden inserts.Front functionality, starting from left to right:- Top two knobs control fan speeds- Power switch turns on the computer- Green light for HDD activity- USB 3.0 port hidden behind a knob- 2 switches to turn on/off fans- 2 switches to turn on/off LCDs- Above switches - left LCD shows case temperature and the right one - CPU temperature- Largest knob is for volume control- below it, another USB 3.0 hidden behind a knob- Big red power lightOuter shell has been made from scratch, using 1.5mm aluminum mesh and profiles. Top plate is hinged, so it is extremely easy to take a look inside And finally, all the copper got a nice polished finish and the rest was painted in mat black.I hope you will like it as much as I liked working on it. It took me some time, but to me, its more then worth it.And don`t judge it by the old components... I worked with what I got Have a nice day everybody! Here is the video of it working ;)
