Pentium 4 Gateway Retro PC Re/Build: Cap Kits, Noctua Fans & the Sony GDM-C520!
Channel: Retro Tech
Date: 12/07/2021

I bought this PC from a Gateway Store in Late 2002.  It was my college PC.  It has been in storage for over a decade.  It need to be recapped and then it will be rebuilt and tested with one of the best Sony Trinitron CRTs ever made, The GDM-C520 Color Monitor!
