Compaq 486 PC exploration, restoration and upgrade - Part 1 REUPLOAD

Note: This is a reupload due to a copyright strike on the previous version of this video. There is no way to simply replace the video in that case so my only choice is to reupload with the required changes. On the plus side, maybe some of you will see this video who didn't see it before - it's one of my favorite little video series that I've done and not a lot of people originally saw it. Here's the original description: I bought a 486 PC - a Compaq Deskpro XL 466. It's not my first 486 - in fact, my very first IBM-compatible computer was a 486 too (and a much crappier one than this!). But I wanted to relive that era of DOS and early Windows gaming and computing, and DOSBox just doesn't always cut it. It also doesn't give you the fun of tinkering with old hardware! This is going to be the first of two (or more?) parts in which I explore, restore and upgrade this machine. By "upgrade", I don't mean in performance terms, but I'll be hopefully adding a couple things that will make any old PC more livable... and of course, I've gotta add some gaming capabilities to this old business machine. But I'm getting ahead of myself - most of that'll come in part 2. For now, watch as I tear down this machine, get it cleaned up, put back together and test it out, with a new component or two added. Along the way, maybe you'll find out something about why I think this era of computing is special. Watch for part 2! Depending on when you're seeing this, it may already be up. Most of it's already shot and I hope to release it in the next couple of weeks. Socket 3's blog post on building a 486: https://socket3.wordpress.com/2018/06...
