In this video, I take a classic Compaq Deskpro EN and transform it into a high performance, compact Windows 98 gaming machine. This small form factor PC packs a punch with a Pentium 3 1GHz processor and 256MB of RAM, but we did not stop there. The Upgrades: GPU: GeForce FX 5200 128MB PCI Audio: Sound Blaster SB0060 Sound Card Storage: 32GB CF Card via a CF to IDE adapter for fast boot times and silent operation. We put this build to the test with some absolute classics: Duke Nukem 3D, Command and Conquer: Red Alert, and Half Life. While the performance is incredible and more than enough for these titles, we ran into a bit of a thermal challenge. The compact case and limited airflow mean this machine gets very hot during long sessions. Make sure to subscribe because we will be tackling the airflow issues in a future video!
