My Klipsch pro media speakers lasted for more than 20 years before they started making weird noises. I was able to call Klipsch and get replacement subwoofer cones from them to replace the 15 year old rotted out ones for like $30 each. That made me a life long customer, a company that actually stood behind their products. I liked them so much I repurchased them again a couple of years ago, the quality went down a little, but still better than competitors.

7:02 Dear Linus. In 1998 at my 30th birthday, I got a SCSI card from my colleges at work. I bought a SCSI Plextor burner for my own money. It completely eliminated the issue that you couldn't use your PC, when burning a disk and there were no issues when the buffer ran low. The SCSI board apparently had its own processor, to do all the hard work, as there was next to no load on the PC, when burning a disk. All you had to be careful with, was not overloading your harddisk, but I can't remember me having a single burn failure, after getting that combo. You should make a video about such a setup! I'm pretty sure I have either or maybe both components to this day, somewhere.
@Agh428 ай бұрын
Back in the nineties me and a friend borrowed, for money, a SCSI card and external single speed CD burner. We took orders from our entire class and spent an entire weekend burning the CDs. We took turns sleeping and had rented three movies, on VHS of course, to watch. I remember one of them was Desperado and my friend waking me up saying, „this one’s hilarious“ and me waking him two hours and one finished CD later with „you were right“. Good times. And we only wasted two blank CDs , for a still painful 12 deutsch marks each.

Ah, the days of adaptec card+plextor drive. I was DTP’ing a newsletter at the time (the move from pagemaker to indesign 2.0 was so momentous for me - back when adobe wasn’t taking lessons from the galactic empire…) and would burn CD-Rs of all the working files of each issue and distribute them to two people across the country for archiving and so that if the pdfs ever needed to be reconstructed, they could do so without me if need be (that did actually come to pass some 12 years later and it actually worked!) and after I coastered 4 cd-r blanks the first month, I was off to the not-so-near fry’s. Never coastered another blank. ;) Meeeemmmorrieeeeeees…

You should just go ahead and build the thing before the parts get rare enough to be expensive again.

But I built a socket A monster, a socket 478 or whatever the HT P4 was and a s939 with an AMD FX-60, and have about a pallet of video cards to pick from, including the bizarro dual GPU Asus MARS things which are actually very nice WHEN THEY WORK, which is about 50% o the time, the other half of the time only one GPU is running. And I have early SSDs like the OCZ card raid drive things that were godlike monsters back in the day. Note that I used plural there, I do in fact have more than one of those things. Full acrylic cases, monster tower cases, monster PSU's like 1250W, 1300W etc plus of course whatever the fanciest sound blasters were of that era, I don't remember the name anymore, but I have more than one of them too. Aureal Vortex too. Well, the downside is that it is, in fact, a sampling of "1 or 2 of EVERYTHING" you'd have in a fancy computer store between 2000 and 2006 or so, several cubic meters of blingified glorious PC masterrace creme de la creme. I have enough to build maybe 6-8 full systems with boxes of parts left over. - JUST DO IT -

The N64 used RDRAM for its memory and the Expansion Pak (the thing that came with Donkey Kong 64) was a 4MB RAM module. The "Jumper Pak" (the thing that came pre-installed in the slot the Expansion Pak goes in) was a CRIMM, or a dummy RDRAM stick required for electrical continuity.

Buffer underrun while burning CDs was so annoying. I learned from that the importance of having two IDE channels, and having the HDDs on the primary channel and the CD drive on the secondary channel. That way the data wouldn't get interrupted, and would have a clean stream from channel 1 to 2. Writing across the same channel would lead to buffer underruns. And cloning discs from one disc drive to another directly was also a big no no. Instead, clone it to a disc image on the HDD and then burn it back to a disc from there.

That's what the BurnProof drives fixed. I had the same TDK drive from this build and it absolutely worked. It was very difficult to get the buffer to run out. Best CD burner I ever owned. In a strange twist of fate, I had already worked for TDK before that helping them build a CD-R factory in the US. It was a very neat place. CD-Rs were in high demand. Shortly after building that facility, the mass producers in China ramped up and absolutely knocked the legs out from under TDK trying to sell blanks made in the US. The TDK factory also made VHS tapes for several brands. They closed the factory and tore it down, brand new CD-R machines and all. Cheap media made in China and the end of VHS really hurt TDK as a company.

RTCW!!!! Yep you can scale that game up to at least 1080p on the original engine (with INI edits), but it's been remade since too. You can also still play and sometimes even find active servers for the multiplayer sequel/expansion/standalone game called Enemy Territory. It was originally planned as an expansion but due to issues during development, they ended up releasing the multiplayer portion of the game as a standalone, free to play game.

Aw dude you should've reached out to your audience. We have like a whole set of those Kipsch speakers on a shelf in the basement. And some in the attic too. Dad used to have what I now know was a- for the time- baller sound setup, but stopped using them at the old house when we renovated the basement to a home theater. (The basement was also awesome, in hindsight. Hardwood floors, an electric fireplace, huge wall-arm-mounted TV with huge space behind it to store any and all consoles and cables, with a shelf/ledge at the perfect height for controller sensors, with built-in bookshelves, a Harry Potter cupboard under the stairs to be a book-reading fort for me, and speakers built into the ceiling. My dad did almost everything himself, except the electricals, because that's something to leave to the pros.)

Hey Linus and/or team! No idea if this gets your attention but I just had to reach out after watching this video. Especially because I HAVE this case and I'm still using it! You are absolutely right that ATX hasn't changed much. My case must be over 20 years old now and I just never saw a real reason to upgrade it. Sure, the 3.5 and 5.25 drive bays are pretty obsolete now but they are nicely hidden behind a door. And in fact, I still have a DVD burner to occasionaly burn a MP3 CD for my husband's old car stereo. And another 5.25 bay is occupied by a silent hard drive enclosure. Remember those? There are a few downsides to having an old case like this. Ventilation certainly has become more important and this case only has room for 80 mm fans. Initially I had Papst fans which were considered the very best back in the day. At least in Europe. And they held up extremely well. I only replaced them a few years ago. Not because they were not working anymore, but more as a precaution considering their age. They have been replaced by some nice Noctua fans. 2 intakes in the front, one outtake in the top and one outtake at the back. And you know what? Airflow is decent and those noctua fans at low rpm are so silent that it doesn't make much of a difference if you have 1 or 4 of them. Another downside is that the case is slimmer than modern cases. There hardly is enough room to put a good tower cooler on the CPU. I can barely close the side panel with my scythe mugen 5. The removable motherboard tray is absolutely useless nowadays. And especially videocards have been a hassle. The thick pillar on the left side of the case prevents the card from being inserted into the PCI express slot. The only way I can make it fit is by partially disssambling the case. These are the moments that I seriously consider buying a new case. But once it's in there it's fine. And realistically I only upgrade once every 2 years so it's not a big deal. This PC gets the hand-me-downs from the top of the line gaming rig of my husband. It's gonna be interesting when he gets a 5090 and I will get his current 4090. Maybe this will be the end? I will definitely try to make it work. I hate throwing away stuff that is still in working condition. And at this point it's become a matter of pride. It's funny because I was actually a bit disappointed when I first got this case. Sure, the brushed aluminum looks great. But silence has always been important to me. And before this case I had a chieftec case with thick steel panels that I lined on the inside with carpet tiles. That thing was heavy and absolutely silent. When I bought this case it didn't occur to me that aluminum would be lighter and more prone to resonate and rattle. I somewhat fixed it by using bitumen to deaden the panels. Also the door was slightly askew, I fixed that with a homemade washer. But still a small letdown for such an expensive case. So yeah, still rocking this case! It currently houses a Gigabyte B660M with a 12700K, 32 gigs of 3200 Mhz DDR4 (no real reason, just couldn't resist with ram prices), ASUS 3070 Noctua edition, Kingston KC3000 1TB SSD, a 8TB hard drive cooking in that silent enclosure and a no name DVD burner. All powered by a corsair RM850x. I put some pictures on your forum!

@@arnox4554 What does electricity costs have to do with the design? The 1080 had been quite pricey as well when it comes to electricity costs, more power requires more electricity, simple as that - still remember how people specifically didn't want a 1080 because of how much it'd cost them on their monthly bill. But at some point we gotta stop striving for more power either way, otherwise we just end up with overly power hungry hardware that barely anyone is going to buy, making it an instant piece for museums unless somehow electricity prices drops so much that it doesn't matter. Because I certainly think that once we reach 50-70 cents of electricity costs per hour played a lot of people rather start sticking to older hardware or give up gaming in general.
