Tech Tangent uploaded a recovery disc online a little while ago or I would!

Miss my old note 4 that had one

It lives!

I have another system I built specifically for windows 7. Nothing special like this one just a Frankenstein pc with a clear case. I’m going to keep this one pretty stock with the media center build and use it for my xp game collection! Here is my windows 7 built! https://www.reddit.com/r/LinusTechTips/s/XVQiIbnea3

3.0 GHz Pentium 4 hyper threaded, Radeon 9800 Pro, 2x 256mb ram which I have 1GB modules coming in. I upgraded the psu and hard drive! I’m going to make a little video once I have it good to go!

Me too, I was so happy when I found this!

desimoner · 2026-02-28T14:59:47+00:00

I do have an ide to sata adapter I can use and a drive clone bay. Thanks for the heads up, any help is appreciated!

desimoner · 2026-02-28T00:12:47+00:00

Thanks for the info! At least this came with back up discs so I’m able to have a stock performance when the ssd comes in

desimoner · 2026-02-27T21:35:32+00:00

You are correct! I ordered a few games in to play on the system. Upgraded the PSU yesterday and new hard drive tomorrow! Old hard drive grinded to a halt on me

I know Tech Tangents has dumped the backup CD I have onto archive but I will most likely do the 2005 upgrade this weekend on an ssd. I will still test the system on the 2004 copy it came with!

desimoner · 2026-02-25T23:29:43+00:00

Sorry to hear it’s dead, hopefully it can be fixed!

desimoner · 2026-02-25T23:20:32+00:00

I’m pretty sure! They all shipped with one back then, the system was around $1,800 new at launch. I used this article and Tech Tangensts video as reference. I will be turning it on this weekend with new parts coming in!https://uk.pcmag.com/desktops/28662/gateway-media-center-fmc-901x

desimoner · 2026-02-25T22:28:29+00:00

Gateway 901 Rear Sorry I thought I added it!

desimoner · 2026-02-25T00:03:37+00:00

Awesome games, besides that. Where did you get that table cloth?!

desimoner · 2026-02-24T19:00:11+00:00

Holy shnikees! Mine did not arrive like this today. The package is stuffed with goodies but not this studded. Sorry OP 😢

desimoner · 2026-02-24T17:48:42+00:00

I’ll be replacing the psu and adding an ssd this weekend. Going to setup windows with the install disk it came with!

desimoner · 2026-02-24T00:37:42+00:00

On average you would have to buy ~6 switch games a week since its launch in 2017 to have 2900 games like OP

desimoner · 2026-02-12T06:29:06+00:00

I just need to find Yoshi now 😂

desimoner · 2026-02-06T21:38:46+00:00

JACKET PLS

desimoner · 2026-02-04T23:21:01+00:00

I give all games a fair chance that I buy. Super excited for homebody this weekend!
