Obsolete Compaq Presario Pentium 4 Motherboard Swap - Retro PC Templar - Part 01

I'm not much of a fan of Pentium 4 based machines however this one served as my main PC from 2003 til late 2008. It started out as a machine I intended to run Linux on exclusively more or less protesting Windows XP's Product Activation. I'll go more into my experiences in later videos

Hardware in use includes the following:
Microstar MS-6714 Socket 478
Intel Pentium 4 @ 3.06 GHz
512MB of DDR PC400
Video Card ATi Radeon 9250
Realtek AC97 Onboard Sound
