My Retro PC—Built for Creativity, Not Gaming

Tavsif:

Take a look inside my retro-inspired Windows XP & 7 dual-boot PC. It's a creative time machine that I got especially for music production, video editing, and running early 2000s software. I’ll walk through each component, show what it costs today, and share why this setup has become one of my favorite tools for staying inspired. Whether you're into retro PC builds, creative workflows, or just love the early 2000s tech era, this one is for you! P.S. I was still recovering from pneumonia while filming this (turns out that takes forever to bounce back from), so if I sound a bit nasally or look a little extra disheveled... that's why. 😅 Thankfully, I’m feeling much better now!
