You can tell hes happy to not be stressing about a really expensive really complicated build

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

I think he's partly also just getting to do something he enjoys without having to have some sponsor breathing down his neck. Sometimes you can just see the "I-work-retail" levels of pain in his eyes as he's introducing sponsors and thanking different companies, with whom he's had the joy of all the behind the scenes drama and dumb stuff we don't normally see unless Steve Burke gets particularly ticked off at somebody like Newegg. So I really think it's not that it's expensive or complicated (he's not poor, and they do get sent stuff) but that it's about the business behind the scenes crap which he's wonderfully bereft of suffering through here. I think that's another reason why he's always so much happier working on old unique hardware, not just for nostalgia or geeking out about something, but because it's *his* as opposed to *theirs* if that makes any sense. It's like doing a personal side business/project you want to do, versus being on deadline and under contract. Which is sad because I think his videos are more joyous to watch when they're joyous. Well maybe not always. Let's be honest we're all enjoying watching GN suffer the 69 layers of hell of prebuilts.

[@pandemicneetbux2110]

I think it's sad that LTT is basically unqualified to do that at this point. like, I'd trust them to review some kind of old bizarre thing or talk about a classic PC, but the fact is they're much too close to being Apple-only user tiers sometimes with Linus himself likely being one of the only non-zoomer types other than Anythony and even he has this tendency to be about "tech" not technology, and yes there's a massive difference. I don't want to come off as bashing them (which I sometimes do but only when it comes to brand fanboyism, which jayz and HWUB both have preferences but can be at least unbiased, whereas here it's hard to take GPU stuff as seriously sometimes, any maybe partly because of being stuck in the "Intel and nVidia are the only options for gaming" mindset of the early to mid 2010s, or a lot of other years really other than 7970 and now pretty much) but coming here for a neat "trash build PC" and seeing a GTX 1070 be called not just budget but "ruthless economy build" makes it practically impossible for me to take the concept of them even being able to conceptualize the mentality of building a used part PC, when they're buying $10,000 prototype widescreens and dropping multi thousand dollar Threadrippers. It's really just not their thing, unless it's another neat Linus video of him doing what he's passionate about like finding an utterly bizarre old multi-GPU from before SLI was a thing. It's partly why I think jayztwocents is the most useful out of all of them by far because GN basically does the turbo autis--I mean enthusiast stuff, which can be exceedingly useful for finding a not junk prebuilt, but it's really just Jay who's I think most solidly in touch with the kind of average gamer who could benefit from that. I think it's something that makes his channel really valuable to first time/novice PC builders, because he's really able to connect with that mentality and imagine the kinds of questions and problems that a beginner working on a shoestring budget may come up with, whereas I think that Linus is so thoroughly far removed from that for so long it's like the bourgeois descendant of nouveau riche trying to put together a video for shopping the best K-Mart sneakers. Which is even more odd considering Jay may've been in the business longest and has spare 3090s all over the place. Again not trying to bash, just pointing it's really not their "brand" in the same sense HWUB said they'd not do gaming mice reviews although mainly my favourite videos of LTT is all the neat weird stuff they find, like that microSD alleged SSD, jank Chinese chips or soldered on 1050tis, ancient computer tech etc. So I do also wonder even just in marketing sense whether it would work for them, or how much shiny new stuff compares to interest in the old/unique hardware. OH wait also nvm btw Linus actually did one of the best new PC builder videos come to think. It was like hour and a half long, and very both descriptive and concise without being confusing. I was more thinking about someone shopping around comparing parts (I found GN and HWUB the two most useful per part, with techyescity and level1 being good mentions too idk why techyescity isn't brought up as much or Wendel they're both good too).

A 2 TB SSD sets you back around $160, and is all you will realistically need for storage the next 10 years. :) Add to that NVMe boot drive and 4xNVMe x16 PCIe expansion cards, and you're looking at all the fast storage you will ever need in your PC.

[@aswallace88]

When I was in college, my first desktop was an eMachines case that I got out of a dumpster, an HP mobo that came from someone who knew I was interested in computers and had a dead computer with a working mobo. It had a Pentium 4 660 clocked at 3.6GHz, with a whopping 1.5GB of RAM. The case was missing the hard drive bays, so my 40GB HDD was out and sitting on the sub woofer for my Logitech speakers with the molex and PATA cables running into the open side of the case. It wasn't much then, and it's even less now, but it was awesome when I had it.

[@ChrisD__]

@@treborrrrr What about buying known good used parts? Or maybe a Chinese X79?

[@treborrrrr]

@@ChrisD__ Doesn't matter if you are able to test them before you buy and they appear to work fine. They can die the next day and then you have no other choice then to buy new parts. Yes, they might work just fine, and you could get more bang for your buck. But if you're really trying to scrounge parts together like this you probably don't have much margin for error as far as finances goes and you might not even be able to replace the broken part at all. So I think it's better to either buy new and accept a slight performance loss (these days you still get very good performance for little money), or wait a little longer if possible and save up a few more bucks so you can go one step up on the performance ladder. If it's not about the money but more about "let's see what I can manage to cobble together for as little money as possible, for giggles", then that's a completely different situation.
