My First PC Build - A Pentium 4 PC from the Windows XP Era

Hi everyone, in this video I’ll be attempting to build my own retro Windows XP computer using a micro ATX case that was recently offered to me, slotting an old motherboard into it, and bundling it with lots of spare components including optical drives, RAM, and a Pentium 4 processor. I’ve never built a computer in my life, so please don’t expect anything wonderful – I just wanted to do this purely for fun. Hope you enjoy!
