I have the whole thing connected to the Belkin SoHo KVM with my Windows 11 PC (behind the cabinet on the left) and my NUC that I use as a home lab server (on top of the Blu-ray drive on the right)
A blog post on the build will be forthcoming but feel free to suggest games and software I should load onto or AMA about the system.
It was a really fun project
RAM: 512GB DDR
Windows 98: “You want me to load the entire Internet into RAM?”
Going to guess you mean 512MB, since that’s the perfect amount for 98 and it can only address 4GB lol
Haha I didn’t even notice. Yeah I’m not running deepseek on my 98 build
Would run doom at max settings for sure tho
Amazing build! It all looks so new! Although that case seems a bit over the top flashy what with the black and beige.
Thanks! I will replace the case eventually with something more bland. It’s just so expensive to find authentic PC cases from the time period. There is a local shop that does PC recycling, I’m going to see if I can get anything from them.
Does that imply that my old beige computer cases that I still have laying around are actually worth something?
Doesn’t mean they are worth something but means you can list them on eBay for $75+
Do they make (or did they make cuz I probably can’t get a brand new one) widescreen CRTs? I would love to use a CRT again, but I don’t wanna go back to 4:3 ratio. For that matter: is there any CRT that uses HDMI? Cuz I just realized that’s the only output my GPU has lol
There were a few widescreen Carts but they were super expensive. The coolest was actually two 4:3 tubes in one bezel.
