Watching old stuff on Youtube you used to obsess over is always a fun time.

I remember years ago, when I was first getting into my retro tech phase as a young teen, I found a particular guy on Youtube who hit every interest of mine.

This guy is Druaga1, a retro PC wranglin', SSD installin', blunt smokin', taquito microwavin' geek of a man, installing SSDs and vintage OSes on the most outlandish hardware, (Sometimes even installing modern OSes on older systems)

I remember first discovering him through his Windows 2000 on an SD card video, and I was hooked.

It was a simple premise, literally just installing Windows 2000 on an old laptop, with an SD card as the main drive. Even managed to get a modern for the time version of Firefox installed and view some Youtube circa 2014.

Some other classics I remember were the Minecraft on Windows 98 video, where he did indeed manage to get Minecraft running on a period correct machine.

There was the time he installed an SSD in another Windows 98 PC, once with a modern SATA SSD, and another time with an IDE SSD, which I didn't even know existed. Even gutted a VHS tape and made it a shell for the IDE SSD.

He does some OS reviews every now again, some good examples being his videos on Haiku OS and React OS, a few videos on React OS being made over the years as the project progressed.

There's a few odd hardware videos as well, such as the Apple Eye TV, or that C.H.I.P computer thing that was popular years ago.
