Hey guys! Can't tell you how happy I am to find an active community dedicated to old computer workings and legacy support. I'm tired of not being able to play classics since hardly any of my boxed 90s games run on my Falcon (being of 64 bit). I'm very fond of Windows 98 as that was my first PC growing up as a kid. With this new venture I'm looking forward to running old favorites but I'm really looking forward to being introduced to a host of other titles I haven't played yet. Found my way over here just from searches and a video from a user here at Vogons... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfSukXqGZ1c
I'm mainly trying to get recommendations on a parts build (or at least things to look for). Besides Ebay I'm not sure where to go for part hunting as to what he featured in the video. Although Voodoo 2 in SLI sounds like a splendid idea. The only component I have at the moment is windows 98 SE. Other than that I need to order in all the hardware. I've technically never assembled a full PC (from scratch) but I've done a lot of modifications, research and servicing to my existing rigs.
Very excited to embark on such a project as I've dreamed of doing for years! Any suggestions would be awesome, as for me the big thing is just knowing what's compatible to pair with other parts. Well that and of course my knowledge is one that relies on modern PC technology (since I've never worked on a system this old).
