I didn't know making a Windows 98 PC requires blood sacrifice.

The system looks so new that it feels like you travel to the past and bought the parts.

<i>Nice.</i> Upgrade vids are always fun.<br>Did the exact same thing popping out a panel on my recent Win98 build, ha. Did not even notice until that moment of "why is there blood on this card? Oh."<br>Decided to just get rid of spinning hard drives on that build as well, replaced with SD cards. I figure if I'm needing a beefy HDD that isn't period-correct anyway, SD interfaces/cards are so cheap and convenient it makes too much sense to ignore. However, I'll always kinda miss the sounds a spinning drive makes, that's for sure.

If you jump through the Video, you can hear the CPU Fan increasing in RPM. Aaah the good old jet engine times waking up your parents at night...

Try loosening the bracket on that PCI card. Sometimes the screw holes in the bracket have enough free play that you might be able to adjust it to fit better in the slot.

I would kill for a computer like that, reminds me of the one I had during the 90s which just got scrapped for parts or given away over the years. Why didn't we keep these things instead of regretting it and buying it all again for inflated prices by the people who did keep things around.
