What version of office is that, that you run on this cute little machine? and how have it been treating you for the last 4 months?
@kalfaxplays7899 Says:
very good video. very informative :) subscribed.
@robertj1138 Says:
I really like this project as it matches with a similar idea i had for building switching over my NAS. I probably would have put a fan in there because I am paranoid, but it is nicely done. Thank you for sharing.
@si4632 Says:
It will work with a 12v brick
@viktorszabo4467 Says:
Well i think the PSU is bad choice! Its better when you use a bronze typ normal silent PSU, (Seasonic Power supply ATX24 350W/80+ Bronze/) the power consumption will lower -10W or less, and you didnt hear anything!
@danielq250 Says:
Hi Christopher, how do you install the win 98 install you have on this and Word also? Do you have a video on these ? Where can i get the files etc ? Many thanks 😊
@Arachnoid_of_the_underverse Says:
Nice little system and totally silent too.
@protocetid Says:
Is there a reason no YouTuber covers SBCs with new Atom chips? There are some ultra low power Atoms out there that make me curious about how they would perform in a small and cheap handheld PC. I don't know enough about computers to determine performance just by looking at the specs.
@LucS0042 Says:
PS2 port, parallel port headers, serial port, VGA port.... Feels like a blast from the past.... But with a modern cpu. Great video!
@hananas2 Says:
I personally do have a weak spot for passively cooled PCs, I find it very unfortunate that my graphics card has coil whine which means I can't use it passively cooled because due to the power consumption I'd have to keep it in an open air bench if I'm not using fans.
@DeltaDudeBasje Says:
Can someone recommend a similar pc case like in the video? I need one with an external drive bay i it. Most of the smaller pc cases don't have anything in the front...
@PVZBlover Says:
I'm dreaming of building a low energy silent gaming pc using a velka 3 mini itx case
@Kennephone Says:
I love that case, I wish more modern cases had 5.25'' drive bays, even if you're not gonna put an optical drive, they're handy for hot swap sata bays or additional front usb.
@PaulGs-Stuff Says:
I am new to video creation and was looking at your Ryzen 5 build, which is great. However I need a smaller form factor so wondered how far you can push a ITX format case as far as processor GPU and heat dissipation is concerned. I am not so familiar with motherboard formats so not sure what to do as far as small as possible but decent video editing performance is concerned. The alternative is to buy a laptop I guess with a GPU but these are very expensive
@RidwaanNazmulNishat Says:
intel N100 is better performed than i5 8350U .
@abzs5811 Says:
Samsung is shit recommending bad products doesn’t inspire much faith
@capieluky Says:
I possible use ram modules with XMP profiles ? And use them on XMP profile loaded ? Thanks
@ragtop63 Says:
I can see this as a good use case for a DIY router/firewall. Unfortunately, it wouldn’t work as a desktop for my purposes.
@mmatej16 Says:
Great video! I also have this board, but i have noticed a noise coming from the cpu every few seconds, heard some people have it too.. Did you hear any sounds coming from the cpu?
@robwalsh3082 Says:
Inspired by this build and have just ordered a case. Please could you tell me if the ASrock N100 motherboard supports a dual monitor setup. I believe it has an HDMI and also a Dsub port. Can these be used at the same time to run two separate monitors so I can have different windows open on each monitor. Thanks so much
@MrJ0mmy Says:
I love the n100cpu
@InsidiousDr9 Says:
This thing is just missing a floppy controller - but it is otherwise covering the last 30 years of computing.
@devarionarias Says:
Ha. I used a case very similar to this for a PC build I did in 2014 as well. Nice.
@Raintiger88 Says:
They lost me on the 1gbe internet. . .what a waste of time.
@billstei Says:
This was a very helpful video. Any thoughts on the possibility of an N300 based mini-ITX motherboard? The Maxtang ALN-10 is one (not the N305 active cooling, the N300 passive cooling version), but does not seem to be available yet...
@camerondean6804 Says:
Thank you. I didn't have huge computer demands. Going to build exactly what you did. Can this board support 16 GB of RAM?
@deadlinerhorus Says:
i really would like to replace my J3455 Apollo Lake with N100 Alder Lake, but Linux Mint 21.3 or more precisely the Mesa-Display Driver has issues with the INTEL Graphics! Cinnamon GUI crashes far more often than i expected. Could you please investigate with your Alder Lake and LM 21.3? I assume it still has the i915 Display Driver bundled?
@darrelrobertson8169 Says:
Would like to see a new case with an Intel core i3 n305 processor.
@rogerlahaye1948 Says:
I must say you increased my knowledge. Thank you for that
@RobertVan-iz5lx Says:
I was going to say, 8gb nowadays windows 11 taking 4GB on a cold boot but he installs Linux of course 😀
@Grogueman Says:
0:36 Why are you dressed like a barrister?
@RAVPower- Says:
I'm a newbie in this field and wanted to buy the components, but realised that it's much cheaper to buy a mini PC with the same processor. So why build one myself?
@dersteep2192 Says:
11 Watt seems pretty high. i got the same CPU but in a complete mini PC together with 16GB LPDDR5 und 512GB M2 SATA Drive.and the idle is around 6 Watts there.
@garydurn7983 Says:
Just how much performance could you squeeze out of the silent pc concept, what's the limit?
@vpchelko Says:
I already purchased on Ali FireBat for 130$ with 16gb ram and 512 ssd on board! Why are you still comparing these pathetic solutions to ordinary solutions?
@nikthefix8918 Says:
Great video as always. But why would you choose this build as a daily driver over a used Elitedesk 800 G2 i5? Fan noise and I/O perhaps? I refer you to the conclusion of your video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPX3A7YS-6Q A response would be greatly appreciated and probably well received by those wishing to add affordable subsystems to their network. It could be argued that's it's a limited resource but every year ex lease Dell, HP and Lenovo 1L PCs flood ebay. It is with out doubt the best bang for buck (and always available). Nothing compares for the money in this domain.
@leadfarmer5563 Says:
As always Chris, informative and entertaining. I am extremely happy I found your channel years ago. Thank you for all the great vids including this one.
@a7i3n93 Says:
This is really good. I could use this as a headless server/utility machine. Maybe even run Proxmox ... Thanks!
@theodorechryssanthidis Says:
Hi Chris! Are you planing to run Windows on this particular setup? If so, could please make an SSD performance test under Windows with the same SSD so we can see under which OS is performing better? Thanks in advance!!!
@OIdiesCentral Says:
My win98SE ,20 years ago on an old MSI board had temp guage in BIOS and no system since,has it.
@dexterroy Says:
You have CRT monitor! Massive respect!
@manout-kidin8735 Says:
This n100 embedded cpu motherboard is a great choice for daily home use like office work , browsing web , watching YouTube/Netflix/prime , some light gaming with old games and even stock trading ( most of the brokers in my country have a online web trading portal from where 1 can trade so no issues there but i think this cpu can easily handel the trading softwares which will be running from ssd . Install 16 gigs ram . ) so it is a allrounder in a budget . ( It's a shame that it is not available in my country) 😤☹️😑. The best part in this whole vlog is the Linux OS part . He only cloned the the previous drive's content and transferred it to new m2 ssd . And walla Linux mint system was up and running just like that 🎉🎊. No installing of any other drivers except for the video graphics driver which he said will be sorted out with a upgraded Linux Kernel 😮😳😁😆 . Now try this os cloning part with windows 😅 That is why i like Linux . It's kernel has all the drivers the OS needs to make the system work and ssd/hdd can be swapped easily to other system provided that the other system has same brand's graphic processor as that of previous system example : intel onboard graphics so go for another system with intel onboard graphics even if cpu is older or newer . Same for systems with discrete amd graphic card , find another system with discrete amd graphic card or intel onboard graphic and linux will boot ) I think a 6.x Linux kernel or above will automatically solve the graphic driver problem . LMDE 6 already comes with kernel 6.x so graphics driver may have got resolved from that start but its mint update software doesn't has any kernel update section but has got "debian backports" enabled by default so newer kernels are being pushed to LMDE6 but LM 21's mint update software does have kernel update section which contains newer kernels series from canonical
@user-kw8kh8dg3h Says:
It's impressive, but I wish it had a full speed x16 slot
@jduvel Says:
I assume you meant Akasa 65w and not Asaka?
@MrEduedu123 Says:
The "N100M" version with pcie 16x slot + a gpu is a great option for decent gaming. This cpu is matches a i5 6500
@johannesdolch Says:
You can easily passive cool an actual good CPU like a ryzen 7600. Hell, my 5900x is silent.
@2008mjb Says:
Thank you for the review of this motherboard. One bit of criticism is that I do not understand why you are so worried about the bios being able to download drivers when you are still running WindowsXP which has been EoL for 10 years now.
@SkysTrains Says:
bro's so wholsome he deserves an n300 with 8 e-cores.
@stormshadow5555 Says:
Chris, I'm curious as to what kind of wristwatch you use in your videos. Just curious... Thanks!
@knifekitty_ls Says:
19v 65w that might be possible to be powered from usbcpd charger, cool
