Ultimate year 2000 gaming build. Asus CUSL2 P3-1ghz 3DFX Voodoo5 CM ATC201

[VictorB]

Great case!! I also got one :)

 

I scored a third Voodoo5 5500 mb and a Voodoo4 4500 32mb. So I swapped the GF2 + voodoo2 sets from the 2 other simulair builds. P3 1ghz 512mb 40gb sb-live Asus cusl2-c :)

Oh dear god, all those brown PCBs, I think I might be suffering a serious case of

flashback to my teens. :lol:

[Exotath]

Reminds me of when I went from a Soyo K7VTA KT133 (if you remember soyo then *high five*) to an MSI KT333 Ultra2 that had a red pcb. I was friggin pumped.

yeah it came out a long way before computer get a good color scheme. But after the pentium3 they started to make motherboards with purple agp oranje mem slots blue pci slots lime green cooling fans etc etc! So Ugly!

 

What kind of footage do you all want to see of this machine and my other machines? Or which games? :)

I think one of my favourite offenders from that colourful era is the

MSI X38 Platinum:

Also, the Asus P6T:

Dear god, it's good times have changed since then... :)

[Homicidium]

Soooo great! Absolutely love those retro builds. 

[F.A.T.]

Super Cool!! Love it!!

let's have a laugh here!

The Ebay seller now asks now 1299 dollar instead of 1000 dollar :P My system is the same in the basis specs

So my system must be at least worth 2000 dollar hahahaha. My total cost where 65 euro. Voodoo5 40 euro, Coolermaster ATC 20 euro, Kingston mem 3 euro and cpu cooler 2 euro. The rest of the parts where free.

Who can send this buildlog to the seller of that overpriced beige ugly case :P

Awesome Old School Build man great work.

Jesus, an X38, my bro still uses an X38 board which I think is from Asus, still running strong :)

Is that good or bad lol

 

Also my chipset isn't the newest around either

Haha, well as long as it still does its job I see nothing wrong with that. And X38

is not all that old as long as you don't need the highest FPS in games or do something

compute-intensive IMHO.

Sadly I missed the whole socket 775 era due to army and college, only got back

into the game just as 1366 was in its last days (but 1366 really was pretty

epic as well IMO). But luckily 1366's successors have not been so much better

that my SR-2 rig feels completely outdated; it's probably still faster than

most setups when it comes to raw computing power, you just need software which

can profit from all those threads.

 

My eyes!

Oh yes... :lol:

EDIT:

Aaaand Build of the Week, congrats! :)

[Jumper118]

i used to have a pentium III but i think it was only 667mhz! my mate has it now

[Undieing_Lust]

Thats Epic

[Jumper118]

i have a abit ic7 max 478 socket but that is for retro overclocking not really for gaming. i've got a massive 3 heat pipe cooler on it too. its not working at the moment though because i've run out of windows xp licences :(  

[VictorB]

I looked up the abit ic7. OMG that colors.... :) But nice board and nice chipset!

 

Thanks for all the view comments and likes!!

 

 

Here you can see the other 3 simulair systems! I installed Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 in 2 systems and build the 4th blue systems. Today I gonna work on the software side and make it into a 4 player lan setup!

there are some great builds there, that dual apg card is a beast! i think my 478 system has an ati readeon 7000 32mb and the colours on the abit ic7 are epic. i did have to take that nice trresucent blue plastic off the top of the board to make the heat sink fit though.

ASUS: Design matters... but we didn't care about the design.
