Taking a trip back to the mid 2000s with my last media player before switching to a smartphone.

I tried to flash mod it by replacing the old spinning IDE hard drive with an SD card. It was a bit of a disaster, but we still explore the classic software interface and test how video and audio playback fares today.

finally finished working on my Compaq Deskpro EN build. I wanted to see if I could make a truly capable Windows 98 machine in a small form factor without sacrificing too much performance.

Specs:

• CPU: Pentium 3 1GHz
• RAM: 256MB
• GPU: GeForce FX 5200 128MB PCI
• Sound: Sound Blaster SB0060
• Storage: 32GB CF Card (via IDE adapter)

I tested it with Duke Nukem 3D, C&C Red Alert, and Half Life. It is more than powerful enough for these games, but the airflow in this compact case is definitely a struggle. It gets very hot after long sessions, so a cooling mod is definitely in the works for the next video.
