There's several Youtube channels dedicated to old PC Gaming, but the rigs that those Youtubers build tend to use less common and more sought after parts - 3DFX Voodoo graphics cards, high end Pentium III processors etc. You wouldn't see a low end eMachines or Dell PC in demand for PC gaming, not back in the 1990s or even today.
As a side note, almost all computers built after ~1995 were 32-bit (Windows 95 needed a 32-bit processor to run, and Mac had been 32-bit for a few years) and Windows XP's system requirements were far lower than what you need just to boot Windows today. None of the ones i've seen in the photos look like they'll be able to run Windows XP at anything faster than the speed of erosion though.
Effectively it looks like its less about collecting and more about hoarding in his case.
Sorry kiwis, my poor memory and general autism has struck again, yep the 9x boxes were 32 bit, I remember trying to set up 32-to-16 bit Trumpet Winsock on a Win95 box and of course fucking it up so badly that I had to wipe and reinstall.
Anyway, yeah his hoard is all low end consoomer shit likely from garage sales and such, except for that Sun which isn't made for gaming. Silicon Graphics boxes likewise weren't game boxes, they were for what is now called CADD and other graphics creation stuff. That basement is just autistic hoarding, although nowhere near to the extreme as Chris's living room full of $700 Lego sets and Transformer knockoffs.
@nobull: Fuck, his parents did all the quack med shit to him? That would explain a LOT. At least my dad never went any further than regularly beating the shit out of me in the belief that I was just an arrogant fucktard who needed discipline. But yeah, there are all sorts of crazy autism "cures" that simply fuck the kid up for life. That would explain the milk teeth at age 25.
Also, the Mercury Grand Marquis is an old man's car ffs, a giant sedan with a giant engine with absolutely zero point in existing except for old people who remember the giant cars of the pre-oil embargo era. My guess is that it's a hand-me-down from a dead relative.
