Nostalgia thread. These kids today will never know our pain

Nostalgia thread. These kids today will never know our pain...

It's not nostalgic if you refer to it as pain.

Ok party pooper.

>watching downloads
>pain
No, it was fun.

>implying 15 years ago when poor people didn't have internet/pc wasn't a better time even with 6kb/sec

>SLI
>One of the cards isn't daisy chained
Fucking newfags, I swear

>tfw pirating photoshop 5.0 on your 56k modem

Admit it, you all had this case at one point.

if you want pain you would be talking about those VIA chipset early Socket A boards. The drivers didn't work properly and would completely fuck up your Win98 install if you didn't install them in the correct order.

wtf that's mine give it back jamal

...

Nostalgia in this context has nothing to do with pleasure, you're mixing it up

Who remembers?

When case modding actually meant case modding.

Can anyone explain to me why they have a window + LEDs installed in their case without sounding like a 15 year old autist?

Wtf how did u kno?

...

I feel it.

Original 203mb Doom download I left running overnight only to find it had failed by the morning. Third day running I realised my disk had 3mb too little space

...

I'm using POSxp, yell at me

fuck yeah, quake II & red alert all day

>praying for it to not disconnect
No, it was not fun

...

>>praying
if you werent guarding the phone lines with your life you werent fapping that night.

Are you referring to the general gayming cases? Well, people like to make their case look like a spaceship, it can blend with the monitor wallpaper, the room etc

depends on the color

fuck off nigger that shit is from like 5 years ago you can't nostalgia such recent stuff

Quake II,Quake 3, Star Trek Starfleet Academy, Tomb Raider, Battlezone 2,No one Lives Forever 1 & 2, Unreal Tournament 1999 & UT 2k4. I Still play a few of these on my modern win 7 pc. Classic games will not die!.

Vista is from 2006.

11 years*

...

Has it been that long already?

...

Aesthetics is why.

Still infinitely better than any game ever released on Steam

...

Because they liked it you goddamn autist

...

'Nostalgia' literally means 'pain for home' though.

...

except I did

ftp://ftp.prw.net/pub/netscape/cc32e47.exe

I loved this one as a kid, now it burns my eyes.

>window
It wasn't entirely my choice that it comes with a window. All I needed was a big case with reasonable price so I went for the 750D which was perfect for me.

>LEDs
I've got one warm daylight LED fitted in my case underneath the cpu heatsink pointing downwards. It was when I realised I can make use of the window so instead of leaving it in complete darkness I added an LED which helps me see current state of my fans.

oops, I'm not the OP, must've forgotten the nick tag on

>Enhanced Internet Gaming Mode
It was already too late.

...

>At Ease
>Launcher
is this how your school or parents had the Mac(s) rigged up?

there already is a old retarded shit thread

>REEEEEEEEEEE!!!!1

Oh please. I swear dialup was more reliable than half the shit "high speed" internet services today. Every time the weather changes I'm resetting my shit. Dial up was slow but at least that shit was stable.

mIRC WAR

>ftp://ftp.prw.net/pub/netscape/cc32e47.exe

lmao no way...

So? Can there not be 2? Is the extra post killing load times on your 56k connection?

Stop being a whiny bitch.

Can i have sex with that?

Oh fuck, GameSpy.
That brought back a lot of memories...

>playing WC3 mod CS 1.6 on weird servers

Everyone had that goddamn case. Myself included.

Mine housed and AMD K6/2-450, 64 MB RAM, and a Real 3D PCI Starfighter 16 MB. Ballin.

Battlezone remake from 1998(?) the one prior to Battlezone 2. Now that was the shit.

I'm using that case right now.

Fuck, why do I tear up every time i see this pic

Same.

oh the irony

>t. cancer

Excursion mirc client looked so l33t.
>.cjb.net

...

No window but I did add red leds so I could see where the front audio out was when the lights are off

lol what is uefi

>playing chess with someone in Russia

If only they knew

...

...

Those UIs were so good looking and legible. Very comfy.

Watching this thing chug along, always put me into a meditative zen state.
So many hours spent watching it fix those empty spaces.

shazbot!

And it was the latest OS until 2009, still more used than 7 for at least another year or 2

Supported until literally the year of the lord + 2017.

Just no.

oldfag :s

6 angry anime collectors / autism enthusiasts

This hit me my man.

Who remembers cp/m here

...

Because you're a shut-in autist who's become emotionally attached to a god damn piece of software (and not even the sexbot AI kind) in lieu of actual human interaction?

3dfx was based
i used a voodoo3 3000 agp till 2005 i guess

3dfx.

I miss them so hard.

lmao who thought putting a screeching bitch on the box of a sound card would actually help sell it

HOW

>those old ass pic icons

someone give me somewhere to download xp icons

Damn it, you might be onto something

>old mac
makes me physically ill and I am a modern mac user

It might just be the fact we had to use them in school so I used them for boring work or something, but I never want to see it again.

it put me off apple for about 20 years

I was legitimately pissed off when they removed that graphic.

why did they have different icons for .png or .jpeg

Fuck off with that trash.

>XP
>nostalgia

perhaps to emphasize the strengths of either format

Don't copy that floppy

user, it came out 16 years ago. A 30 year old man could feel nostalgia from using it as a teenager

tfw 6 hours of updates await you

...

Cause someone had XP's picture viewer associated with one type and not the other.

>all those shitty mIRC scripts
goddamn
I actually wrote a 1k+ line bot in that godawful scripting language, it was the sickest shit back in the day and was what really got me into programming.
