absolute monster of a pc user, i'm super jealous

Someone seriously needs to find one of these that's broken and make a sleeper build out of it.

Go away Clint

I can't believe it came with Logitech's best racing wheel!

i doubt you can put anything serious in a case like this

What's the opposite of a sleeper build?

an awake build

Shut up, Darren

Poser build using the shittiest hardware evar.

...

>699

holy shit, computers were fucking gold back in the day

Oh shit... To think what 700 bucks will get you now....

I bet the kids where pissing their pants over having 10 GB of storage back then.

>To think what 700 bucks will get you now

A shitty i3 build with a shitty monitor.
No steering wheel.
No speakers.
No awesome mechanical keyboard.

Oh God I want this to be real so bad.
Pls timestamp

oh hai LGR

I'm thinking the tower itself, since most Motherboards have HDMI I can just use a tv. I hate CRTs anyways.

And I have so many keyboards and mice, also I don't care for racing games.

It's from YouTube.

It would also be lacking Windows 98 and the $500 worth of software titles.

What I'm saying is computers got more expensive.

Back when this hot wheels thing was released you could get the ultimate gaming PC for ~$1200.

Now for $1200 you get the GPU only.

They're okay, just too fucking bulky for my taste.

Okay, get what you're saying. I was just thinking about the power of the computer, you're talking about how much stuff you're getting for the money.

My mistake.

True and untrue. It was more expensive than it is now in 2004. To make the ultimate gaming rig in 2004 meant 4000. Now a days you can make a slamming one for like 2000 easily

...

>64mb RAM
>10gb HDD
It's not 2004. It's 1998 most likely.
AMD K6 500mhz - $95
Mobo - $70
The most expensive ATI Rage - $250
Whopping 128mb ram - $100

It's even less than that. The gaming PC would be around $1000.

>Son, empty your trashcan.
>FOR THE LAST TIME DAD, IT'S MY MACPRO
>Same difference, and no backtalking.

Lower your expectations.

>To make the ultimate gaming rig in 2004 meant 4000. Now a days you can make a slamming one for like 2000 easily

Pretty much this.
Computers used to be hell of a lot more expensive than they're nowadays and the further you go back, the more they cost.
I remember when me and my father went to buy a new computer back in -03 or something and he was totally blown away by the cheap prices of them costing 1300€
He had paid 10k for the last computer he bought back in the early 90s and that thing was for office work.

Avoiding the mac hate train.... and while the pro might be impossible to take apart... the inside design is pretty gorgeous.

Back in 2000 GeForce GTS 2 was what Titan is today. And the price was $400. I remember that clearly.
So the price got jacked by 300%

...

>and while the pro might be impossible to take apart
Are you retarded?

the design team on that actually did a pretty good job.

Bullshit

youtube.com/watch?v=TfhmBcBPNyc

i was referring to the exterior/aesthetics

How so? It looks like a bitch in a half.

699 was worth slightly more then too.

You must be a retard, then. It's all of like 10 steps to completely disassemble it.

The number of steps is irrelevant. It's a clusterfuck of screws and wires fucking everything in a big gay cylinder.

You're a retard, sorry you're retarded.

>pretty good job
Flames evrywhere, and thats it.

...

Its an apple product

It probably has like 12 screws and 2 meters of matte tape.

Maybe an HTPC kind of build?

price jacking is probably due to nVidia (in almost the same way Intel does it) is the only one with a GPU that has that much power so they can effectively charge whatever they want for it, reasonable or not.

Most of the price increases are due to inflation because we use a fiat currency and the government prints more and more money. Deflation can be a bad thing too but in our current case it's basically inflation due to overprinting and borrowing.

You have to adjust for inflation.

Oh My God, to think I remember when in home PCs were starting to become mainstream. They been available for in home since the 80s but for useless purposes. Wasn't until the 90s when I was growing up just a wee lad in elementary school when only 2 out of the 15 kids in class had a computer running AOL version 5.0. Remember that crap? We've come a long way since then. I agree with the other Anons on making a sleeper build. That would be sick. You already got a cool paint job. Thank you OP for bringing me a blast from the past.

PS, those specs are shit

see

Mini mobo with an i7, fury nano and ssds?

Haha okay.

I also forgott the ipad pro and the iphone are super computers.

Oh and both are more powerful than the ps4 supercomputer.

I'm thrilled with my computer! It's the same model as yours! WOW!

The computer might be not so great but the KB is a rebranded model M with buckling springs. Pretty sure it's the only one of its kind in that colour

No, it's not a Model M.

i bet you didn't even own any hotwheels

Are you telling me we had 300% inflation in the last 15 years?

>that
>"ultimate"
man nostalgia goggles are a hell of a drug, at least go skim some old magazines or something before you go on about this shit

a real high-end consumer box back then would have easily run you well into the $2,000 range and beyond, hell the Pentium II 450 alone was priced at ~$670, even the AMD K6-2/400 (that was actually available in 1998) was $280

since most games worth playing supported glide, a V2 SLI setup would have run you probably around $600-700 plus the 2D/non-glide card for another $200, and a good mainboard $150-$200 (upwards of $500 depending on whether or not you wanted integrated peripherals)

then there's everything else, the RAM won't kill you, but the 10K RPM SCSI disk and accompanying controller definitely will (we are talking ultimate, after all)

then there's the optical drives

and any additional interfaces, such as a NIC

and the case

you could hit $3K pretty easily when cost is no object, the average for consumer systems was closer to $1200-$1500 however, though you could definitely cheap out and go sub-$1k with a shitty AMD K6 build, but to claim that it was nearly as good as the sub-$1k offerings you can get nowadays is just plain delusional

and let's not even get started on high-end business systems... or laptops

700 dollars in 2000 is almost 1000 dollars in 2016.

I was 8 when this computer came out. I begged my parents for it but we were poorfags and were stuck with a shitbox my dad stole from work.
I jizzed my pants to this ad nightly for almost a year. Does that count?

A family member bought a Dell in 2011 for $700.

It had an i7-2600, 8gbs of ddr3, 1tb HDD, and an HD 6670, no monitor though. Not that bad for a prebuilt, he's stuck a 750ti in it and it still runs well.

This was my first thought. Biased LGR.

rice

If that's all you can find in that price range then I really think you need to brush up on your google-fu or leave whatever hyperinflated shithole you currently live in whenever possible.

Even then, that "shitty" i3 build will have a way longer useful life even for games than that piece of limp shit that could barely even run XP without a serious upgrade ever did

your specs don't sound right, it's either too good or bad

I remember my first pc was

CPU: 233 Mhz
RAM: 32mb
HDD: 2GB
OS: Win95

then circa 2000 when Dells took off, had a prebuilt

CPU: 800Mhz
RAM: 128mb
HDD: 40GB
OS: Win98
GFX: TNT2

That was already a bomb pc so I'm not sure what are those specs...

>so I'm not sure what are those specs...
it's a typical budget shitbox ca. 1999

Someone already restored one, as well as the barbie version I think, look up LGR on youtube.

>shitty i3
There is literally nothing wrong with the i3 you performance cuck.

Think I worked it out right. That would have taken someone almost 6 weeks at minimum wage in 1998 if they only spent their money on this at 40 hours a week.
(No other expenses.)
Shit technology is cheap now.

>he doesnt have a shit Ibook 3g

Ah the memories!

That's from 2000, not 1998. It says in the copyright statement at the bottom of the page.

wew no wonder it's so cheap

LGR?
