Dope Tech Episode 2

<<@nathanslife2297 says : When are you continuing with the EC best bits series?>> <<@Banana85021 says : Great stuff. It’s refreshing to see that someone like you still produces videos without jargon, communicated clearly and straight to the point. Also some of your vids did help my boomer parents and some of my relatives with understanding tech terms. I am particularly drawn to your thought process and articulation in each video. Looking forward to more! Who knows what will you use next? i9 or Ryzen 9? Only time will tell :)>> <<@BOplaid says : I am very excited for the projects Best Bits video>> <<@sslaia says : While watching this video, I had an idea. Could you create a tutorial on building an energy-efficient Mini-ITX based mini PC? I've noticed a lot of interest in mini PCs on my Reddit feed, including for gaming. People are looking for a PC that is energy-efficient, space-saving, yet still offers decent performance. I'm personally interested in a mini PC that can handle casual local LLM tasks and general productivity work. Edit: Improved the grammar.>> <<@KhunRoger says : I've built a Windows XP PC (Coolmaster case, Gigabyte MoBo, various other bits) and then a Windows 7 PC, which I upgraded to 8:and 10, and used similar hardware. This was about 20 years ago. My Windows PCs had a CD drive which I used to install the OS from genuine MS CDs. How do I get Linux onto the new PC?>> <<@audioglitchguy says : Hey remember i mentioned a good while back about not trusting Chinese devices and you basically tried to make me look like a fool? https://youtu.be/ndM369oJ0tk?si=jHBha2k38569IE-0 Now who's the fool 😂>> <<@rikgreen520 says : Hi, quick question, I need to migrate everything off my old ssd to a new ssd, but I don't want to migrate the operating system, as it's windows 10, my new pc is windows 11, is it possible to migrate everything over except for the old operating system…? Thank you.>> <<@CorkyAgain says : I enjoy your build videos but what I like most on your channel are the episodes that give it its name: *Explaining* Computers. I've especially liked your discussion of various RAM architectures and the differences between the interfaces to solid state memory.>> <<@positivelynegative3260 says : Rock 5 ITX is still my favorite build!>> <<@tomnorman5461 says : Balena Etcher is malware? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufDVKQ4C8-0>> <<@Daryljon64 says : I like the up close shots . That was a great idea. Many times building or repairing. Its hard to know what pins go where.>> <<@meowthx1985 says : By the way, are you a Timothy Dalton fan? Because you did visit his hometown of Colwyn Bay, North Wales and he was in Doctor Who, Flash Gordon and of course 007 in the late 1980s.>> <<@chloegilbert4261 says : Congratulations on 10 years! I love the videos and so now do my sons who watch them after I recommended them. See you verrrry soon...>> <<@okekeobi9885 says : Fair play to you on an incredible journey of posting new videos every Sunday. Encountering your channel much later, I am compelled to dive into the same world of building computers and more. That's how inspired I am. Cheers to more years in the habit.>> <<@rafal_czerwinski says : I miss the times of green or blue PCB-s inside the cases, where you could clearly see all elements, and color-coded cables. Then came the "dark times" with the ubiquitous "gaming design" ugliness 😞>> <<@maaku.moreno says : Well if you can, how about a build which includes easily available parts that are swappable in the future so that the computer is, in one way or another, future-proofed and likely to last the user for at least 10 years. A roomy case is good, and if the build is very generic, it might even be used as a server. To that end, some version of Linux might be best. A processor that can use ECC memory is also nice. The latest WiFi card for WiFi 7 but also swappable when WiFi 8 arrives. Of course since I know little about such builds I may have asked for the impossible. With our tarrifs looming importing these parts may soon become too expensive.>> <<@noname-vl6vy says : this is a classic channel. hope it continues for the long run>> <<@ThomasBrisco says : It's fun to look back at these - and see how "retro" these feel, while at the time they were exciting and cutting edge. A 40GB SSD? Great retro -- I always appreciate yoru content, and congratulations on so many years of consistent educational videos!>> <<@treshanremolano159 says : I liked the green-type mini computer (which I firstly watched the EC video), using high-energy efficient processor and other parts that will cut energy costs. SBCs are high-energy efficient computers too, so I want to focus more on "Green Computing", as 2030 carbon neutral will come ahead of this time... P.S. I think more mini-PC building were focused on the future...>> <<@jwaddin says : Do MQTT!!!!>> <<@ZippydsmLee-freetube says : time flies, cheers!>> <<@niallwood says : Another great video Chris! This in particular brings back a lot of memories for myself as I would religiously follow your PC building guides when I first started learning to repair and build computers. This knowledge I now use everyday, and is second nature to me. That being said, I look forward to your future builds as no one compares in terms of passion, quality and detail.>> <<@RaymondSwanson-u9y says : I can't believe we're still using the PC design from the 60's. AT boards? Card edge connections? Back planes? Wire and plastic power rails? Am I building an Altair? It's the same friggen design. And it's causing problems. Look at GPU's for an example. They have become so massive that their own weight is cracking the PCB. Did we change the design, the card thickness and mounting structure, to accommodate? No, because of the AT standard. Did we change power delivery so connectors won't melt? No because of the AT standard. The standards are old. They need an upgrade. We need better designs.>> <<@starprince3083 says : love your videos. iv got a pc over 10 years and thinking of building my own>> <<@wiwingmargahayu6831 says : wow and peace be upon you sir from me>> <<@arsenalgear3009 says : Here's to another 10 years>> <<@asquared8399 says : From my personal perspective, the best bit is that your channel exists. It has been consistently of high value to me. I've been messing about with computational kit, in some form or other, since the late 1950s so when people inevitably ask me for advice and education I invariably recommend this channel.>> <<@loginregional says : I recently moved and set up the Thermaltake v21 case (for the NCM) on the shelves with its window facing to the side, "front" and the IO panel facing the desk. I sent the picture to Natalia. She asked what I used the MICROWAVE for. *NCM N100M>> <<@rifatyasmeen4721 says : I must say that this is the first YouTube channel I've come across that serves as a pillar for many fundamental concepts regarding computers and technology. Congratulations Chris 🎉>> <<@Frogman488-f3w says : Build us a home Quantum computer next , house it in a bar fridge :)>> <<@freddylq67 says : Great build history and as always another great video.>> <<@waynebickell1793 says : I wouldn't mind a new PC build with at least an 8Gb AMD GPU! 12Gb would be better. Alas, I'm skint! Or so the boss keeps telling me! 🤣🤣🤣>> <<@chriholt says : I have always greatly enjoyed your build videos!>> <<@Борзый-Шнифер says : >> <<@mtdroidrva says : Warms the cockles of my heart>> <<@TheMarksT says : Thanks for all your hard work! Cheers! Awesome jobs!>> <<@ryanzmuda3167 says : Congrats for 10 years. 👍😊>> <<@leonidd00 says : I am following about half of the year this channel. Didn't even knew that they are many build videos I actually never saw. I have some work to do 😊 Thanks for your great work Christopher and especially for promoting Linix 😊>> <<@tech_plus_stuff says : What has happened to the previous components used?>> <<@PS_Tube says : Congratulations on the EC decade. May you make more videos for more coming ten years.>> <<@martinsmith5028 says : Hi Chris, a nostalgic video which I enjoyed very much. When you consider your future projects, I'd personally get a lot out of a 'budget' build that is powerful enough to be reasonably future proof by anticipating the potential requirements of Windows 12 and even later. I'd prefer it to include a blu-ray reader/writer along with the software necessary to use it as Microsoft no longer have the inbuilt ability to. Have fun!>> <<@camerond169 says : Well done on 10 continuous years Chris!>> <<@NovemberOrWhatever says : Your red Ryzen system was not the first PC build I saw, but it was the video that convinced me I actually could build myself a PC. Thank you for making it!>> <<@johngangemi1361 says : What I like about these builds is that they are affordable for most people. Some of the gaming focused channels build systems that cost an arm and a leg. Keep up the great work Chris!>> <<@MeinDeutschkurs says : Chris, have you ever upgraded anything sequentially? Most of the PC users are talking about upgrade ability: but the least are really doing it. Except of doubling the RAM maybe. Some are buying new graphics cards. I left the PC in 2013. I fiddled and diddled lots, especially screwing all the new components together. Since 2013 I use Macs. No fiddling and I upgrade them in the same way. 😂❤>> <<@geoffae says : I used your Ryzen budget build for a local disabled neighbour whose computer needed upgrading due to it's age. I am now looking at a mini pc to run W11 for myself as my W10 pc is not upgradable 🙁>> <<@neilshobbyhq says : I copied your Ryzen (red) build, my first ever PC build, if it had been a VHS tape I would have worn it out going back and forth gathering the information, I have since built an even bigger and better PC and it was all down to you, I never thought I would ever understand computers as I do now, just wish Id have known all of this many years ago. Thankyou so much Chris.>> <<@lekalotte2825 says : Please, if possible, cover these new, exciting AMD APUs with rtx4070 level iGPUs.>> <<@johngermain5146 says : Excellent, Congratulations!>> <<@aticoco says : Would be interesting to see you do a series on servers.>>
