Felt nostalgic for the high-school years, so I started tinkering with a retro gaming PC

May I ask something? I'm very interested by vintage computing, for the historical side etc but, do you guys actually use it? What do you do on it?

Installing Windows 98 used to take forever. Probably the mechanical drives didn't help, but then various driver CDs and whatever else.

About 40 min to Win9X and then another 20~30min to install Office97. For speed the process a little, I copied the content of the CD on the HDD and uses smartdrive cache.

How about installing Office97 from floppies?

Back in the day, it usually took over 45 minutes or so from the time you boot the CD to the time it restarts for final time to the Win98 desktop.

What game is the first that'll be installed?

What games are you going to play on it? Sierra?

If this is period accurate, it's under the desk so you can use your toe to power it on.

The blank disks do it for me.
