Got this at a some clearance/estate kind of thing a shop was doing. It's all about who else shows up I guess - one of my better wins - $5.00 + fees ($1.60) - had to travel pretty far but great find - Win98SE, I have to dig in more to get other specs, but solid machine, AOL installed as you would expect a machine of the era with a modem on it :) - will take apart this weekend and give a good cleaning, return to factory and install some games if the video card is any good (GATEWAY VX900 on XPERT98 AGP x 2) That CRT is still very nice and 19" - will do 1600x1200 32-bit pretty nicely

Came across this Quantum Bigfoot
5.25 series with a casing that has FireWire ports. Some mid/late 90s tech here.

Ive been super into these old beige and dragon case alienwares from late 90's and want to build a pentium 4 retro build for all my old games

I just put together a build with the intentions to install windows xp for retro gaming.

I acquired a gtx260 core 216, intel e8500, 4gb Kingston hyper x ram .. I put it all together. It turns on l, all fans are going but I get no screen at all on my crt (Samsung syncmaster 793mb) I got a dvi-I to vga adapter.

I know the screen works. When I put into another home windows xp machine that has a vga output on it I get picture.

The second I plug it into the adapter (not even plugged into the new build yet), the screen goes into standby mode. It does not work when plugged into the new build as well. Could it be my adapter?

My first time dealing with older machines.

I could really use some help! Was super excited about putting this thing together
