Welcome to TCG Productions! I do a lot of computer-related stuff on this channel, mainly specializing in vintage computer hardware, though just about any computer that interests me enough to make a video about will likely end up here.

Intriguing video, subbed!
Awesome, thank you!
I'm just imagining you hapazardly slamming it in there
I like my popcorn to be in the center of the platter.
Will comeback to this in 8 years time hoepfully....
I have a 3 and a half year old video that exploded in popularity out of nowhere a couple months ago, so that's certainly possible.
Solid video! I got two very similar Precision 420s earlier today, one with a 600mhz P3, the other with a 933mhz.
Very nice! Do they have SCSI controllers and drives?
@@TCGProductions03 On both, seems like everything is IDE
well you actually have a sensor microwave so it should work great, that label is really there cause of shitty microwaves without hygrometers
how can you tell if a microwave has an hygrometer?
@@Justgreen89925Just search for the model of the microwave (usually on a sticker on the edge of the microwave when the door is open) and then search the owners manual or just google if that specific model has a hygrometer.
@@Justgreen89925 giovanigeorgis3848 method is the most reliable, but usually "sensor" in the name means it has one (but not always)
I remember this with my sound blaster, vibra 16. There was a reggae midi as well. Nostalgia
The fact you're browsing early web 2.0 forums on a CRT screen warms my heart
This was recorded years ago, so please don't comment on the camera not being synchronized with the monitor.
I successfully managed to replace my laptop’s keyboard using this video. Very useful. Thanks a lot!
You're welcome!
What year did this Kawasaki Toy keyboard came out
Not really sure.
Lol.... what was jimmy on for thus video?!?! 😂😂
It got fixed in just a second, wow
i will leave my comment here, will comeback after work 😊😊🥳🥳
Hey still uploading my dud keep it going 🔥💀🔥
my eyes man. Word of advice make sure to sync up the camera's refresh rate with the refresh rate of the CRT.
read the description
oh look it's the not-vx720!
pretty flashy!
WHAT ARE THE SECRETS, JIMMY?!?!?!?
Thanks for this! My grandfather gave me this exact desktop last weekend for data recovery and this video helped tremendously!!
You're welcome. Glad it helped. Was his system running a similar SCSI configuration?
Thanks for the Video I have My Gateway 310 up for sale on E-Bay. Looks just like yours Pentium 4 gt610 video card Windows Xp Pro. maybe i will keep it after all
Is that intro sound the Nt5 workstation login sound backwards?
Yes it is. I wouldn't've reversed it, but some random "artist" sampled it in their song, so it caught a copyright claim because of that.
UGH razer mice nowadays are just so awful when it comes to their scroll wheels. I've gone through two Razer Naga X's and after only a few months the scroll wheel becomes all jumpy on both of them. Before trying out these newer Razer Naga X's I was using my Razer Naga 2014 edition almost daily for 8 years straight. However the sensor/laser went bad on it but I had no problems with it for 8 years and the scroll wheel still works like new after all that time. Razer needs to get their act together, their products used to be so good and reliable :(. Anyways thanks for the helpful video!
That's exactly what this mouse did! The scroll wheel took on a mind of its own that no amount of percussive maintenance (short of a hammer, mallet, the butt end of a screwdriver, etc) would fix.
@@TCGProductions03 Such a shame! ive even tried the blowing compressed air into the wheels method and that didn't work either. So maybe it is time to bid them farewell and fix them once and for all like you did XD. Razer would have some of the best mice on the market if they would just revise their shotty scroll wheels. They have amazing optical mouse button switches that are actually hot swappable too. I just don't get how Razer hasn't come up with a scroll wheel solution yet. Just looking around online this problem plagues every other person it seems, and everyone else in time. The issue is rampant with complaints everywhere you look. I can only imagine how much money they lose from people getting their mice replaced under warranty. It usually happens under a years time and its been a fault with their mice for years now.
Well explained
Thanks. I hope it helped.
3:01 It could be two of a kind or three pair. Huh?
My grandparents in Ohio have Dish.
love the video thanks for posting!
Thanks!
Jimmy is the Bob Uecker of gambling. "JUST a bit OUTSIDE!"
So awesome to see it all revamped. I'm so proud of the effort you have put into honoring this retro tech. I miss our talks.
LFG
The beginning is the Windows NT 5.0 startup sound backwards and the end is the Windows NT 4.0 shutdown sound
Ayy, you fixed it!
Is it possible to attach an internal floppy disk drive into this mode?
I don't believe so.
why do i enjoy this so much? what is wrong with me?
Cool! Can I get pinned?
Sure
@@TCGProductions03 thx man!
Yw
@@TCGProductions03 heh?
Yw = You're Welcome
a cd drive in the early 90's? that would have cost a heck of a lot of money. most pc's of that era would have had floppy drives only.
The CD-ROM drive in this system was made in 1997. I think that it was part of an upgrade that took place around 1998 or so.
0:37 7!!! Right there!! The Anime nerd chara pose!! That's where he's doing the monologue scene where he explains the history and capability of his machine, how he manage to keep it functional and explain the main protagonist, how under his hands, this machine can still operate and compete with modern personal computers!!
Ah the days where you had to turn on your monitor as well because they didn't autodetect signal and turn on automatically. Living like it the 90s for sure
I used to have this EXACT tower. Someone threw it in the trash. I revived it. It was a great PC for me for many years.
someone threw your tower in the trash? 😲
I think what he's saying is that he rescued it from the trash.
Man it’s so crazy to think how far technology has came since the early 90s.
AWESOME setup!! I’m jealous!
Thanks!
That beard looking fire 🔥
Cmon now son, you know you gotta have that rootbeer bub!!!!
This is just a VHS rip that I did and uploaded.
Ever since we gave up CRTs for LCD’s thinness in the mid 2000s, we also gave up the incredible image quality and motion clarity of CRTs and didn’t realize what we lost until it was too late. It’s not been until about last year, when OLED tech has finally become mature enough to be used in monitors, that we’re finally getting image quality to rival high-end CRTs. Crazy.
CRTs are still better than OLEDs for motion clarity, fluidity and response times, and the one thing I love the most about CRTs and HATE about modern displays is that CRTs have no native resolution like modern displays do, so in a CRT you can watch and play older content and it will look amazing at any resolution while it will look like a blurry and pixelated pile of trash on modern displays because of the fixed native resolution. You don't need 4K and 360 FPS and a monster RTX 4090 to make your games look good on a CRT. No need for anti-aliasing either, so you can save a ton of GPU resources that can be used to turn up all the good visual effects to max and make games look amazing.
The Model used in this setup, I think is a Model 3000 based on the interface. In 2005-2012, they used a new logo with a "TV GUIDE" which oddly was very fuzzy. I assume there was a firmware update or something like that.
Holy crud man! This is the exact receiver I used until 2009, which IK sounds crazy, but ooooh the Nostalgia man!
