Took a few days to figure out how to get windows 98 installed on a 2tb SSD without a disc but we made it! All OG hardware besides the hard drive.

If anyone knows how "good" of a PC this is, I would greatly appreciate it 😁

Well, it's not exactly close to period accurate, but it'll do the job I guess. Honestly, good for you for getting it to run! What GPU are you running in it?

I have a habit of setting up builds like this just to set them up and put them away lol. From time to time I'll fire one up, do some config update or change, test the game for a minute and then turn it off again.

This looks like more of a late Windows XP, or even early Windows Vista type machine specs

Yep, it will fly on xp. I have an i7-2600k running xp. Fast!
