LGR - Restoring a 1999 Gateway Essential 450 PC (Patreon)
Content
Got an early look at an upcoming video for ya!
But yeah, I've had this machine lounging in storage for years, but now it's finally time to give it some much-needed attention. This is a Gateway Essential 450 from 1999, a Pentium III-based Windows 98 PC that came with Gateway's own versions of the 3dfx Voodoo 3 and Sound Blaster 128.
Decided to get this one back up and running again so I can send it off to a friend of mine. His own machine finally crapped itself for the last time so he was looking for another one, and since I've been paring down my collection lately I told him I'd fix one up and send it his way. And this is the result! Turned out quite nicely I think, as he just wanted something that'll play most Windows 98 games without much hassle.
