Why do I Have so Many Computers? | Room Tour and Setup Overhaul!

[@Meowster3K]

i would LOVE a room like this

[@danielktdoranie]

We now live in an age where it is expected that a desk chair lasts 4 years.

[@PiroKUSS]

That's sad.

[@KingKrouch]

Yeah my racing chairs usually costed me $200 and lasted me six months at most due to how often I used them, so I ended up biting the bullet and getting the cheapest Herman Miller chair I could get (a Sayll). $800 later (on sale), but I've had it for about 4 years already and it's still going strong without flattening.

[@GamingWithRabbit]

@@PiroKUSS why is that sad?

[@Charlemagne89]

My ikea desk chair from 2012 is going strong. Delaminating a bit, but still supportive.

[@PiroKUSS]

@ Because desk chairs are becoming shittier in quality lol

[@mllarson]

I like the chaos of the room since it makes me feel better about my chaotic-ness 😀

[@BetaMaster2]

Before this video, I was ashamed at how much stuff was on my desk. That hasn't changed, but at least it's not this bad

[@blvnktek]

Thank god this setup tour is realistic and doesn't make me feel bad about my setup.

[@talimen2535]

What's your setup?

[@teamkilled1227]

i like how you continue to refuse mentioning astolfo despite him clearly being in frame in every video

[@repoversemedium]

I wish I had as much computers as you did. To me, they just seem so awesome to own, especially the older ones from the 90s, and plus, these things have many uses compared to all the other electronics I have…man, now that I’m thinking about it, maybe it wasn’t such a bad idea to leave the classroom during nap time (that was the first and only time I saw an iMac G3 in person).

By far, the best battle station video on KZbin 💯

[@youtubeisgarbage900]

reminds me of my chaos, my home is, while not dirty a disorganized mess like this and all my cool stuff is in storage XD these smaller tech channels make me wanna start my own soon

[@breaddyPL]

yoooo I was actually wondering about your setup and there it is a setup tour, great vid mate :]

[@Boromoro]

so glad youtube recomended me your dream windows 95 pc video. Such a good channel can't get bored of it!

[@ivanmaglica264]

Man, Borland Paradox, that used to be THE thing, before MS Office took over in 96.

[@Welvrt]

You have the dream setup

[@cdkw2]

This is what my future setup looks like

[@tuworlds]

i love your video. simple chaotic clean untidy u speaking without a script this to me is tons better than what other people do. like extra squeaky clean environment bright lights everywhere tip top editing production etc etc i love the honesty that shines throw the video and i appreciate your stuff i grew up around that time. i thought the cb's where Cobra but maybe not i didn't get it wow..... fantastic video. and now i'm gonna subscribe

[@datPinto]

Looks great, keep it up! The radio stuff is quite interesting... may need to dabble in that myself...

[@raccoroni.]

oh lord another banger, this guy just dont miss !!!!!!!!!

[@Pummelator1337]

Cool room tour! It's nice to hear that most of the computers have a purpose that they serve. The radio setup is also interesting. I managed to find a manual for that camcorder on the Internet Archive and I think I know what part of the problem you're running into is. The refresh rate I found in the manual was "60 fields". That means that the camera does refresh at 60hz, but the video is interlaced. Skipping an explanation of interlacing, a field is effectively a half-frame. I'm guessing that the processes you tried before were either deinterlacing the video or just interpreting it as progressive scan instead, resulting in the 60 fields/second source becoming 30 frames/second. I've never had to copy over video from a MiniDV camera, so I don't know what a solution to getting 60hz video out of it would be. I don't know how much of this you already knew, but hopefully it points in the right direction.

[@untitledaiff]

i did not expect to see the panchiko deathmetal cd, one of my favorite bands actually. big fan of your channel btw and have been watching for a good time, your setup looks a whole lot like mine lol

[@capability-snob]

Learned C on IRIX (on an Origin 200 over VNC) with no intention of going into software. Totally hooked ever since.

[@JayLeeGames]

Why did the radio section sound like tuning into a GTA radio station 😂

[@serch_1x]

12:41 AZUMANGA REFERENCED LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

[@MartinScherpa]

im just so impressed because of the intel sample, that's a so cool flex

[@zantuforevers91]

You are one of the few I have seen with more actively used computers in one space; makes the four PCs I use (Slackware Linux on a dual P3; Win98 on another P3; Win10 x2 on a 2nd gen and 12th gen Intel i7s) feel almost reasonable... almost. Very nice collection in general!

[@AO554]

Great video!

[@moody_weirdo]

Holy shit, I remember you from Aero 8. That's some god damn nostalgia lol

[@Ionic1k]

DUDE I USED TO WATCH YOU AND SAM'S VIDEOS!! What a small world, thanks man!

[@AO554]

i want my own room full of computers

[@Mbro-dq2do]

Man can I relate (sitting in my lab with 8 Computers 14 other old unibody macs i brought back from the dead and they all run sonoma or seqouia thanks to open core legacy) Great video bro

[@dq3w]

As someone who’s never watched or read rent a girlfriend I laughed when you said you had to throw it away

[@daven6634]

I would honestly recommend stabbing the loose cpu's into some foam if you want to keep the pins straight for cheap. Like the gear, great opportunity to have the ultimate retro esc setup.

[@JT-2]

Holy based, now that is a cool setup. Definitely want to see more radio stuff

[@zeep-yt]

I love everything about your setup

[@htechtgarisc7559]

Colorado mentioned on the wall!!!

[@domingoburrito]

You gotta lot of stuff dude really awesome

[@piecktrevor]

sick upgrade 💪 Would love to see your ARCH setup in detail sometime. cant wait for more videos!!

[@wikwayer]

Nice setups im more in it for the CRT but rest is also good

[@snwwzy]

I kinda want a video explaining more radio stuff and what you do with it and why you do it. Also would be cool if you explain some of the software shown on your computer in the videos. Kinda do like a workflow video (?) idk

[@janhebi]

12:42 sees the game rent a girlfriend ... you oh gotta throw this awax xD but cool room and nice video

[@sufferingincorporatedtm1781]

i really like the bumper at 0:55 :)

[@therealrnice5533]

Great videos , Just a heads up try not to have a steady image on the CRT monitors , you can cause burn-in image on the phosphor, use a screen saver if you can. ;)

[@wilbed1082]

I see Ionic1k veedio. I like Ionic1k veedio. I simple manz

[@BigDrewski1000]

Those dude's talking smack over CB were hilarious! 😂

[@Ionic1k]

That's not even cb, that's 40m HAM

[@seanh2983]

I have a similar problem. I have 8 computers from different eras of Windows gaming. I have a 95 with the og Sound Blaster, a weird 98 with an industrial itx board, two XPs, two 7s, a 10 and an 11 mini pc. My next pc will be a Linux Mint. I just don't see a reason to get rid of them when they all still work great, and I'll never have compatibility issues with old games. I like your Astolfo figure.

[@Nightwalker1105]

ngl, seen many cool new chinese shortwave radios lately, the future is cool

[@fsafdshiuasdh]

GREAT VIDEO AS ALWAYS.

Yeah, bro. SDR++ and CB. Literally me. But i like mini pc.

[@garland-key]

Spider on the carpet!

[@yatapaws]

love ur setup !!!! :3

[@ares23dc]

One simply cannot have enough PCs in their life. I have probably close to 15 PCs. They all have their specific purpose. Besides my main setup, 5 of them are for retro gaming and multimedia, Batocera retro console emulation, Win98, WinXP, Win7 and Ubuntu. One is purely for downloads. One holds my NAS and massive offline storage. One is my test bench for DDR3, the other my DDR4. The others are for my wife and kid.

[@alivew]

Great setup, but ngl, I think the 3 monitors on ur desk looked way better, tho

[@zeultimate24]

Honestly kinda surprised you don't have any oscilloscopes :3

[@Ionic1k]

Some day, I really need one

[@friedgpu]

[@JJGhostHunters]

I would love to find an Indigo 2 that works and didn't require any repairs to set up like you have here!

[@Роман-г5ю5ь]

Room of my dream wow

[@allanau]

It's been awhile since I used MIniDV but I don't think the codec goes up to 60p, it might go to 60i.. I could be wrong, just going off memory. I used it a ton at my work.

[@TechHaris_]

3:27 You realise that the video is interlaced? To get the full frame rate, I would recommend a deinterlacer such as QTGMC.

[@timecage]

Do a windowmaker customization tutorial!

[@Ionic1k]

Perhaps

[@coffeedvdrw]

dream setup ngl

[@mgrogian]

Weird question, but that ATX case in the left side of the screen at 14:35 with the chrome-plating: would you ever consider selling that? My first computer growing up was in that exact style case, and I haven't been able to track down a single one like it in several years outside of the manufacturer and model.

[@naganomancer]

im very interested in the radio stuff. ive wanted a setup like that for a long time now but i dont know where to start.

[@gotbletu]

create FreeHDBoot using IDE HDD that u can do on any old IDE ribbon PC. Then u can make your own FreeMcBoot memory card

[@somedudeonlineidk]

Goob 👍

[@salvo91able]

bro that italian clock at the beginning scared the hell out of me

[@jonpoeschek]

Are you sure that camcorder shoots 60p? It's likely 30i (60 fields per second, which can be deinterlaced to 60p). I don't think firewire has the bandwidth for 60p.

[@ZagTheWag2]

You see the done show in Portland for NYE?

[@AchWave]

That PS3 white is nice, is it custom build since I don't think they ever made ps2 bc white ps3

[@Ionic1k]

Nope, it's the Japanese launch console, it's imported

[@AchWave]

​@Ionic1k might not since it only has two usb ports and it could be a case swap

[@Ionic1k]

@@AchWave trust me, it is. When it did work I was able to play NTSCJ ps2 games, the Japanese consoles had a few differences at launch than the NA ones

[@erichanson420]

Very nice. Pretty tidy really. What'll you do with the defunct playstation? Fix it eventually?

[@quadraforest]

The fat PS2 models don't necessarily need freemcboot. They can also be soft modded by installing freeHDboot on the hdd, if you have the network adapter.
