Video Description

Assembling a mid 90s Windows NT workstation computer! Specifically NT 4.0 with two Intel Pentium Pro 200MHz processors, maxed-out RAM, and a Matrox MGA Millennium video card. All in an awesome metal case on wheels. Testing, dusting, building, troubleshooting, games, CAD rendering and more! Most of which I've never done so let's dive in and make some mistakes. ● Become an LGR YouTube member to see videos early and more! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLx053rWZxCiYWsBETgdKrQ/join ● LGR elsewhere online: https://www.patreon.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.twitter.com/LazyGameReviews https://www.facebook.com/LazyGameReviews ● Background music licensed from: https://www.epidemicsound.com 00:00 what we're making 02:01 the motherboard 06:58 the tower case 11:38 a talking BIOS 12:20 testing the Socket 8 14:16 cleaning the mobo 15:53 upgrading cooling 17:49 swapping casters 20:48 cleaning the case 21:51 standoffs, cables 22:46 Matrox Millennium 23:42 power supply issues 25:02 Quantum Bigfoot HDD 26:15 choosing an OS 27:40 installing NT 4.0 30:50 first NT impressions 32:38 3D Pinball Space Cadet 33:15 NT driver complaints 34:36 MIDI playback 35:38 Photoshop 5.5 36:43 AutoCAD R14 38:23 MS-DOS "support" 39:35 the Duke 3D test 40:21 Quake II and OpenGL 41:46 Age of Empires 42:43 Matrox MGA stuff 43:53 Asymetrix 3D F/X 45:05 ray tracing 46:23 Tandberg SLR50 tape drive 48:37 intake fans, 5.25" infrared 51:11 freezing on boot 51:59 in summary, I'm frazzled #LGR #retro #computer #building
