Tube build with LIAN LI + Pentium 4 + GeForce FX5900 - RETRO Hardware

[@pedroferreira4323]

a motherboard with a onboard tube!?!?!?! why don't we have that instead of rgb?

[@ProfileUserNumber]

Rgb tubes bro........amplifies the sound at more frames

[@ZeroHourProductions407]

Too many morons following Linus. Same reason that the "PCMR" thing went from being a derogatory term to those idiots that can't seem to enjoy a game that didn't take weeks and months of tinkering and troubleshooting, to being used as some kind of stereotype to aspire to.

[@lodashnotebook5390]

+ 65 fps instant boost per tube. Companies hate it, so they had to take it off and replace it with expensive ass flat circuit boards which they call them "graphics card"

[@drummerdude100]

Jorge Ramos wow salty

[@ChucksSEADnDEAD]

@@ZeroHourProductions407 and like many derogatory terms the community took PCMR and started using it among itself in both ironic and self-aware ways.

[@RaPtOr9600]

If someone told me that motherboard with tube exist i would not believe it. But here it is

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

It's a tube front end on the amplifier. The output is still solid state. You don't see this a lot as you can get a tube preamp instead that is transferable between devices.

[@kekistanifreedomfighter4197]

[@Skott62]

Funky hardware is right. Never seen a mobo with tubes

[@pedroferreira4323]

now THIS is a real pc build

[@RETROHardware]

Some add info: Why not Pentium 4 3.06 HT 533FSB? I made post with this CPU but no OS boot. Simply unsupported (first revision of 845E chipset) Why only 2x 512MB and not 3 modules? This chipset supports only 2 modules (double sided) 512MB/each. Is sound with TUBE better? This is not possible to show in video. You need quality earphones to find some difference. But no big deals with it.

[@titotech]

fix this

[@jorts900]

Cool video. I wish I would have saved all of my old hardware.

[@alemigse8803]

Hi, i'm new subscriber! Do you know if the Motherboard Intel D845PESV has P4 3.06 HT support? I love the retro hardware!!! Thanks (sorry my bad English) :P

[@RETROHardware]

I swear I am ready to pay any kind of money to buy that motherboard.. I love the retro vibe that light bulb like tube brings.. Never knew such tech existed

[@dariopetrusic4215]

Simply awesome! This is becoming one of my favorite channels, please don't stop!

[@Niyologist]

I love these classic builds. It sucks that I never knew exotic builds like these existed. At the time these components existed, I was around eight years old (with the exception of the PC Case). So I was unaware of them until recently.

[@j.r.huffnstuff3549]

Yeah, I was ten in 2000, and even now the era before the p4 and core 2 duos still seems like another world. I remember playing Diablo 2 on an fx5200 and p3 with no clue what was going on inside the case. Now I love looking back at that era of motherboards with on-board graphics or even just *having* a North and South Bridge like a history nerd looking back on the 1920's.

[@VictorGuerrero14]

These old tech videos are so mesmerizing.

Quite a few audiophools that had this back in the day made all passive cooled builds with it. You pretty much horrified them by putting a FX5900 dust buster lite in it :D

[@TheLionAndTheLamb777]

It's just a normal onboard sound card with a tube stage on the inputs. It's more gimmick than anything else.

[@xxxxxx-ef7ni]

Absolutely stupid idea use tubes for shity realtek chip

[@Pidalin]

Good old days with Windows XP and everything offline. :-) Always when I am on some PC with XP, I feel so satisfied and relaxed because everything is exactly on it's place, I don't have to using search and such shits like in Win Vista and newer, I am not even talking about Win 10.....without search I would not find even mouse sensitivity and home network always stop working after any single update, with XP, it worked always! :-D

[@orangeActiondotcom]

Gorgeous. Nice work, as always.

[@orangeActiondotcom]

Consider installing the 5.25" tube amplifier in the bottom-most bay. Above DVD-ROM, the tray eject may interfere with your headphone cable.
