So! It seems that a kernel-based virtual machine might be something awesome to try on here with those PCI cards. Apparently you can pass specific hardware through to an older version of Windows that way, which would be a best of both worlds situation. Lemme know if you'd like to see me try that -- or any other ideas! I'm really enjoying learning what can be done using Linux and this funky mix of old and new hardware.

Linux gots its own drivers. It'll cover most (if not all) the hardware you throw at it.

A trick that I do is to add double the SWAP space on old computers when installing Linux. For a 2 gig RAM system I well create 4 gigs of SWAP space on the hard drive. Hope this helps! Have an awesome hApPy nEw yEaR LGR and everyone (^_-)/ Looking forward to more videos on this cool Linux computer (^_-)/

I was just going to suggest that you could try installing XFCE or MATE on the Ubuntu game flavour, since that seemed to be the one that ran the best, but lacked a lightweight desktop environment. Using a VM or three would probably be best if you're up for it. Give it some old versions of Windows and DOS to play with, maybe try out some modern projects like FreeDOS or ReactOS if you're so inclined as to tinker with the latter, and I guess just throw in a bog standard GNU-y, Linux-y something to have a workstation VM.

It's not a pyramid PC case, it's a multi level PC case.

Is that thing literally open to all dust through those huge slots along the faces???? What a terrible design!

pointy pyramid pointless pc

Dress it up like pyramid head

The reason linux is running so poorly is likely because ATI graphics cards never supported linux very well

The way half life runs is the way it used to run for me back in the day so it makes me kinda nostalgic to see it like this.

It is possible that the pc is running off the processor rather than the graphics card, that would explain why it is so slow.

Aw we didnt get to know how he got the rgb fan to work at the top (which he did)

Linus was building a PC similar to this. I'd like to see one too. Maybe having one... Why not

Why.. why. you dislike this video? Its the real deal... the dude knows it...!

.... i want the pointy PC...

Just don’t fall on the darn thing Clint

put a webcam on the top XD

My 2017 asus board I bought as a base for my gaming PC in 2017 has pretty much the exact same AIO. I feel attacked.

the issue with windows 98 was the memory manager. you can replace it with a better one and it will install. MattKC did a similar thing and had a similar problem, and replacing the memory manager fixed it.

Sharper processing, surely?

Ya, I've made drunken internet purchases before too

"American Megatrends BIOS. Nostalgic!" That feeling when your current gaming PC still uses the American Megatrends BIOS because your motherboard is from before 2011 >>

i love how all his recommendations were his own videos

How you have room for all the computers

This but mitx and a gpu riser cable.

A pyramid needs a gold ad lib soundcard.

That has to be wildest motherboard I've ever seen!

I missed this video when it came out, but welcome to Linux my friend!

Is it wrong that I love this? 😅

29:36 One Must Fall 2097

Dang, you're putting bass boats to shame with the amount of glitz and glam going on with that thing.

wow i did know know you can do retro games easier with linux i wonder soon can you do a video on how to use linux for retro gaming for beginners like me

Jill of the Jungle. The original Fortnite.

When you try making a gaming PC but end up making a Sith Holocron instead.

that pc is still better than mine, even with it running windows 98 edit: it is so fast, in fact that in text mode the cursor flashes so much you cant even see it flashing

the way you say Ubuntu is very very chaotic and i don't like it

One of the first thing on LGR I actually might buy/build. Love it!

Where did he buy that PC cone speaker??

Piramid computeris has made for faraons

Maybe a Socket 775 system would have been better suited for the pyramid.

Omg that's re-volt. That brings back some memories.

I forget where I read this article and I didn't read to see if anyone commented this but you can modify the boot file for win98 and limit the amount of ram the system will access. I have it running on a 16 g ddr4 system as we speak.

dude. just get a faster card

I really hope that they also make a spherical shaped PC case, WE NEED THE GAMESPHERE DAMMIT

oof

I am still waiting for somebody to make a small form factor machine that would run win98se and XP and had enough power for all the games from that era. Kind of like the classic ps one or nintendo but for windows. I surprised nothing like this exist yet :(

I remember building my pc and I wanted something other than just a rectangle so I looked up weirdest pc cases and the pyramid case popped up and low and behold it’s my pc case now haha

28:33 WARNINGS: Front Right Axle broken Rear Right Axle broken Exhause damaged

Is that lamp made of uranium glass?

It's beautiful!

Dear google, i already watched this video about 20 times. I pressed all the bad buttons. Dislike, never recommend lgr again. but still i i get this video. i don't get it. Who do i have to murder so i stop getting this video?

Illuminati confirmed

Where did you get Re-volt?

If your PC is gonna sit there anyways, it mise well look like art. I wouldn't mind this for the den's media center.

That cooler is awesome. Almost tempted to get one on the offchance I might build a PC sometime!

Connect the 5v ARGB strip to the topside fan to get it lit up.

Hey Clint, awesome build! I dont know if you have it, I dont know all of your vids & builds, but how about a HardSID Quattro PCI for C64 and Amiga chiptunes and a Media Vision PSA with YM2612 for the Genesis ;-), if you are already playing around with emus on it?

next upgrade the gpu. The gpu is bottlenecking the cpu i suggest 1gb video card. gtx 460

Does it come with the StarGate or is that an extra?

Retroarch is far superior to retropie, X86 has much better emulators and more of them, I play Saturn a lot on retropie with a proper arcade stick I built

My laptop with an AMD A4-6210 APU is faster than that. And half the time it's thermal throttling because of the coolers being clogged.

When you spend so much on your case and now you don’t have enough budget for good parts

I demand this PC case.

It’s not ridiculous if it has a point. And it has 5 :)

Damn, that actually looks awesome! I kinda want a PC like that now, lol. If only I had space on my desk... (And was actually crazy enough to do it.)

I imagine this thing sitting on a pedestal in the middle of a room and it having touch screens on all 4 sides.

Linus tech tips would be mad...

I know this is really random but what is that lamp and where do I buy it I can’t see a single wire on that thing

Sabre Electronics

Doooooooood.... that's the same triangle from the "Modern Talking" music video!!!!!!

as cool as it is there is just way too much wasted space IMO... I like big PC cases but I like them in work station form: that extra size means more expansion capability!

29:22 anyone know what that maze game is called?

it's a Windows 95 or 98 screensaver

cool beans!

xubuntu is amazing :(

I'm a sucker for PORTZ! Made me lol

The perfect case for your Goa'uld mothership

what movie at 30:43?

This case is beautiful! I would love one for my old rig.

I am confused i like this video but i keep hearing sandwich background music. send help

That actually looks pretty cool with all the lights. It’s the Luxor of PC’s lol.

The mini version is straight up awesome. Even better without the glass imo

Pyramid, Cone, Triangle, That 3 Sides!

@LGR. You don't know really what you're running. Prove me wrong.

A see-thru Pyramid case is exactly the kind of thing I would have expected to find commonplace in the futuristic 21st Century. Not...wood grain.

Re-Volt

30:50 What game is that?

I think the ridiculous here is the one who makes an old system in this amazing modern case.It's terrible when realize that you put a motherboard without RGB support...Finally, the case is amazing, something out of that world and i have it...with i7 5820k+x99+RTX2070Super...And this look amazing, i will put a video soon. Too ironic and arrogant video for me...

Honestly, that board looks pretty much like my LGA1155 board, at least in terms of connections. Seperate PS/2 ports, VGA out, PCI slots, etc. Sure it doesn't have a serial port, but there is a header so you can plug one in. That board would be interesting in some old case. It looks like an old machine, even the ports make it look old, but there is someting else in.

Wasn't there a torture device shaped like this?? 😫😫 ouch

This pc is eagerly anticipating silent hills ❤

PLEASE HELP what led strips are those i need argb strips for a build ut cant find any

you know how to time it, that a fade to black is a fade to ad

pentium gold sucks even on windows 10. i speak from experience

11:05 Unless! the cables are snakes. . . hmm, but then you'd probably need to rig up a case open rolling boulder boobytrap reservoir diorama, and then you'd definately need a hidden auger to feed the sand falling through the case. . .

Awesome case :)

All I'm hearing is it's Jonny Number Fiiev

This is more alien than anything Alienware has made (to my knowledge).

Clint playing Minecraft never thought I'd see the day

Amazing.

Running Ubuntu or a Ubuntu-based distro doesn't really make sense on hardware that old. Something like Debian with LXDE or Arch would make more sense here to prevent bloat and have a functioning desktop environment

I'd suggest an Adaptec 2940 series PCI SCSI card and something like a SCSI tape drive as an obsolete thing you can use a PCI slot for.

The amount of negative space in the box hurts my brain

UFO inside a pyramid? Doesn't get much more illuminati than that.
