Bill Gates Paid Me to Upgrade his FIRST Computer

Thanks to Microsoft for sponsoring this video! Learn more about Microsoft Build 2025 at: https://build.microsoft.com/

Microsoft partnered with us to celebrate its 50th birthday. And what better way to celebrate than to build a sleeper build in their PC from the great 1970s, the Altair 8800. Not only can you play Oblivion Remastered thanks to the RTX 5090, you can also use the Altair 8800 as it was meant to be.
