Thats a really impressive video board at 2:40-2:46 . What kinds of expansions does it have? I couldnt really find anything for it on the internet.

@amthomas0412 A very impressive card, indeed. Its running on the VESA local bus, also shown in the video. You can find more information here: stason . org / TULARC/ pc / graphics-cards / A-B/ATI-TECHNOLOGIES-INC-VGA-M­ACH32-VESA-VRAM html

I have one of these mammoths sitting in my basement. I really want to get it it running again but I cant find a hard drive to use with it. Mine has the overdrive socket already put onto the motherboard and 64mb of ram . Just no OS since the HDD is dead. I even have the anykey keyboard. But no original monitor or owners manual.

@xxxDavidMaysxxx - Thank you very much David. Hectic work and a three-week vacation have put a damper on my videomaking, but I do intend to make another video soon, hopefully sometime in August.

That thing is a monster! Wow! I think I remember seeing something like this back when Packard Bell computers were around. I think I remember seeing something very similar and it was the first tower PC i'd ever seen (full size tower). It looked mighty impressive next to what was almost entirely desktop systems at the time. Great video and indepth descriptions. I really can't express how much I appreciate videos like this. As not many appreciate older technology once obsolete.

Thanks for this - it's great to see old PC's!

[diskoman44]

did you just call doom "loom"?

[SiliconClassics]

@diskoman44 - No, I called "Loom" "Loom."

[diskoman44]

@SiliconClassics oh... sorry bro, I got scared there for a second. :)

Mmm. Gateway 2000 486 machines. I fondly recall drooling over these with the Overdrive installed, CD-ROM and VESA graphics. Wanted Doom 2 and SimCity 2000 SE so badly. What an awesome machine.

[MixerVM]

I have a Gateway2000 P5-120 from 1995. The original hard drive is dead but I still have it, and the computer itself is all taken apart.

Even PCs were better back in the day! Great video, thanks Aaron.
