Windows 98 "Almost Dumpster" Build

Hi everyone! In this video I'm restoring this machine that almost hit the dumpster, hence the title. This was sitting at a friend's storage, and, fortunately he had the good sense of calling me asking if I'd like to keep it! How could I say no? As usually said: "One man's trash is another man's treasure". Watch this computer come back to life after a bit of restoring, a new installation of Windows 98 and some games!
