The fact that a) you videotaped yourself painting a wall b) kept that tape for 17 years c) remembered that you had a tape of yourself painting a wall 17 years ago says a lot about you. My hat off to you sir :)
Yes, I guess it does! :) I had never even watched the tape back until now. And then it took half a day to find anything that would play it. And then that would allow me to get it into a digital format.
Many thanks for the effort and excellent videos. It are the things like that piece of video tape which really set your videos apart; give it more character :)
Glad you kept the VHS recorder. Without it, we had not seen you painting a wall. This week the production of VHS ended: fortune.com/2016/07/21/last-video-cassette-recorder-maker/
@@kentries5690 Agreed. Even if the layout is still the same, it’ll be cool to see whether Chris is still using the same monitor/keyboard/mouse setup or whether he has changed.
That is exactly what I've got, I just only use it to switch the keyboard, as I don't want to use the same rodent devices on each PC, and the monitor sorts itself out (in practice I seldom have both PCs running at once, so it picks up whichever is live).
i get your point but a decent self switching kvm like one from belkin with audio support could help reduce the amount of equipment on your desk even if over than switching the video between the two pc's it eliminates the need for the keyboard switch and one of the audio switches, however like you i have 3 computers at my desk so because i cannot be bothered the go and get a preiferal switching device, i simply raided my periferal stash for mice and key board and hide the ones not currently in use behind my monitors
franciscoaprend-- EXACTLY!! While everybody pushes the newest and greatest equipment year after year, none of that matters. Yeah, it's nice, but older systems properly setup by competent people can still perform plenty well enough to keep most peoples workloads flowing
what a great personality. I always look forward to your videos and came across this one, you are so personable and really dry humored funny. Totally enjoyed this. Now that you have over 500,000 subscribers and people have gotten to know your personality you should put up your old site with the animation videos. I think people would want to view them now knowing your personality.BTW, some of that stuff belongs in the Smithsonian lol.
Although this video is 7 years old, it's a part history, sadly I can't time travel, this is next best thing. Maybe one day. 😊 Nice to see how much technology has change over the years. Maybe they will use a PI, powered by Linux.
Thanks for this comment, which I read on a morning when I'm making the 500th ExplainingComputers video. How time flies. The 100th does not seem that long ago . . .
These are my favourite desk setup tours, it seemed to be all of a sudden people started showing off there desks that look to sterile and clean (and possibly sponsored by lg, this is a real functional desk setup and actually teaches me a bit about file management!!! This is amazing
(I'm going through your back catalogue apparently, thanks to TH-cam recommendations). I have the same (engineering) approach: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I'm most impressed by your creativity which is becoming apparent the more I watch older videos - I didn't realize that you had created the opening graphics until I saw that you had done the "Custard Pie" board in Inkscape. And now there are graphical characters, kids' TV shows and broadcast content too! I would bet you even personally created the theme music for the channel. Great work!
I still have a 4:3 monitor on the right side of my desk. The rest is filled with 16:9's though. At work, I actually have a pair of 8:5's set up vertically, (more like 5:8 in their current orientation) so that I can more easily edit long functions of code. They're both 1152x2048. At home, I actually have 4 monitors all attached to my desk in a T-shaped arrangement, 3 across the top, one below in the middle.
Great Video! I really love how you still keep old technology. I don't think it needs to be updated every year when something new comes out. I still have a VHS and Compact Cassette tape deck and I'm very happy with it. I have a second-hand store near my house in Leeds and they sell loads of tapes. Thanks for your videos and keep up the GREAT work!
Hi Chris. Very nice of you to show us your workshop where all of the content creation happens. I also liked your attitude in using your old hardware because they still works, both nostalgic and environmental friendly. I know it is an old video but I just watched it again and wanted to thank you for the good work.
Hi Chris. Congratulations for reaching this milestone. Nice to see your studio. You don't use cutting edge technology yet you have created many informative and entertaining videos. Thanks and we hope to see you again very soon.
An idea for a future video would be where you use your legacy hardware, and show how you used to do video editing. I think one of the things that first attracted me to your channel is that you talk about your experiences through the eras, and for those of us that are from the era of commonplace digital video editing suites, it'd be fascinating to see what we missed.
This is a great idea for a video and very useful feedback. I got into digital video editing (as we used to term it) when you needed dedicated hardware that cost more that the rest of the PC. I must still have the cards somewhere, and will dig them out. Somebody last week also suggested doing a video comparing a Raspberry Pi Zero W to a Windows 3.1 or similar PC. I really must make some "looking back to old hardware" videos again.
Congrads Chris!!! It amazes me that you do your thing on such older equipment! I never would have guessed. I am sure if you keep your PC dedicated to performance of your projects, most anything is possible. I think back to when we put a man on the moon and what we used to get there! Anything is possible. I appreciate you taking your time to do these videos and to teach myself and others what is really going on in the world! Many years of happiness and learning ahead! Rich USA
Professor, congratulations are in order. I love how pragmatic is your setup and workflow. This certainly is reflected in your videos and the personality you let us see. Here's for 100*100 more.
Addendum: I really like how in love you are with technology and that you do not buy into the narrative of having always the latest and fastest. For years computer technology has been truly good enough. I specially smiled when y u showed your minidisc player. I miss mine.
I love your videos, and as an old technician myself, was especially chuffed at seeing THIS particular one... it seems that we techs have messy desks.. they are of course used for working, and we will certainly not win any awards for desk setups. Thanks. Loved this.
Loved this, congratulations on this beautiful achievement! I don't mean to make you feel old but your desk remembered me about my grandpa's desk which he uses with a ton of stuff on it (he even has those switch UPS from the 90s still!). Love your videos, best regards from Chile!
This is what I love about setup like these. It's not the most efficient or modern computing setup, but it has history, and it's a combination of new and old technology.
I love how you've kept the same tower system and just kept adjusting and upgrading it! I do the same thing, my pc still has it's floppy drive because I also just never got round to removing it, so it's nice to see! :) I used to work in Lightwave too (7), I loved 3D animation. You could consider re-releasing the odd Annabelle's Antics animation on this channel like a sort of cartoon interlude? I think it would do very well! Could even lead to some 3D modelling/animation tutorials. :)
And this is the problem for Intel, Microsoft and others! Most computers used to die within 3 years of purchase, or otherwise became unusable. But not anymore . . .
I love all the equipment you have and how it works, and you have some for so many different things. I am very intrigued by your setup and wish I could have half of that running at my house.
Thanks for introducing the mini ITX thermaltake, last year,I squeezed in a i7 4 x 4.0 GHz CPU , gigabyte Z97N,and windows 10 which runs rock solid😄 Been running a year now and my first PC since 1992 where the sleep function actually works properly ,saves me a lot of energy wastage! boots in 10 seconds, very pleased with it...
ExplainingComputers:: Thank you for providing the Link for this video it was a Treat, cool to see older Hardware& Software being used and Appreciated👍🏽🖥⌨🖱📺📼🎧
You have encouraged me to recycle my very old tower. The tower is a PC AT case which will require some "case adaption technology". i.e. a dremel and cutting wheel. I recall there being a 486 DX2 99MHz chip inside the case. I'm guessing 256 - 512 MB of ram will become part of my wall art. Good day sir and if I buy the parts I'll make a video of the process.
Reading through these comments I see a lot of people trying to push you into updating all your kit. Personally- I find it quite cool in these modern days you can keep up perfectly fine with all these other TH-camrs who've spent a ton of money on all their brand new current gen equipment. To me that shows you're one who definitely knows what you're doing, and are not just able- but perfectly FINE using what you've found works best for you over the years. My Poppi used to say one of the biggest problems with today's culture is we're so willing to throw perfectly good things away *just* to keep up with whatever new trend is 'in' right now. He was a huge proponent of "if it ain't broke don't fix it", and I'm so glad those were some of your first words in this video!
I love this video, inspired me for my setup, Desktop Tower PC, Steamdeck when I want to dable with Linux (it has it's limitations in it's varient of Arch/Nobara), and a backup Dell AIO desktop PC for backup computing since I like to keep my windows laptop strictly for travel.
I'm obsessed with computers and electronics I collect them especially old ones and I like them really really a lot they my only companies I have You Sir really really a decent man with a strong charisma I think of you like a lot of Computer Geniuses and Bill Gates
CringeGinge watch his "vaccine" ted talk, here he says: "If we do a good job with healthcare, we can reduce the population from 8 bil. to only 7 bil." and: "If there was one thing I could have, whether unlimited power, vaccines, which I love, or energy, it would be energy." He said he will use vaccines and other healthcare to wipe out 15% of earth's population, over 1.5 BILLION people. He is testing this in Africa, where his vaccines were given to 500 African kids. It paralyzed them and many had seizures and died.
I saw it and thought I wanted it the other day, but seeing it here, I think that editing PC would be slightly too big for my desk. Is a fantastic case.
I have a Wacom tablet that's from the same generation as yours (only a bit bigger) since 2001, but had to buy another one because that hasn't worked on newer computers for whatever reason. I still don't know if it's an OS problem or what (last time I checked it still worked on an old, mid-2000s)WinXP machine I still keep around but haven't turned on in a year). It's a great tablet, though. And its surface isn't too abrasive and thus doesn't eat the stylus tip like the newer models do!
Well I like this channel as well as techmoan. You are into everything computing related and techmoan is into retro and everyday items. You are in-between. Mix of old new and retro :)
I don't think you could have had a better centenary video. Thanks for sharing your office with us. I especially like the fact that you embrace older technology as a still worthwhile investment in activities today. Too many people I see think they need kit that is just too costly and too powerful (as I remind them they can type only so fast, even if the computer can do trillion flops a second). Good luck with the next 100 videos: I'm sure there's lots of people going to enjoy the ride with you. All the best to you and yours.
Thanks Kevin. :) The "can only type so fast" thing is so true. And, as a parallel, you can only edit video so fast! Once a PC offers fluid, to-the-frame editing, upgrading it will not improve the editor's performance . . .
I often write at my desk, and a 21:9 monitor is very poor for that. So I stick with the 5:4. It all depends on your workflow -- and I like to run all programs full screen.
I don't have a KVM switch like you since I use a USB powered hub that simply uses a button to switch between computers. I find it much easier than having to use a KVM switch.
Your doing a great job on your channel i wish i had 1000 subscribers but, as of late im running out of ideas. Congratulations on your 100th I hope to see 100 more.
I was expecting some new hardware. It's really cool to see that you don't need to have the latest and greatest. I really like the idea, if isn't broke don't fix it.
Chris, Now we KNOW you're secretly a LUNA-TEC! LOL!! p.s. You are probably already aware of this option: we overclock our Q9550 on an ASUS P5Q Premium motherboard simply by upping the Front Side Bus to 400 MHz. When busy with SpeedStep enabled, it runs at 400 x 8.5 multiplier = 3.4 GHz, and we "sync" 16GB of DDR2-800 also at 400 MHz DRAM clock. The Q9650 has a slightly larger multiplier of 9 x 400 = 3.6 GHz. I couldn't quite make out the model number of your Gigabyte motherboard: because it's running your Q9550 AOK, there's a good chance that motherboard will also permit the same overclock. Good luck and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! p.s We did remove the faulty "push pins" on the stock Intel HSF, and installed a $5 USD backing plate with spring-loaded chrome-plated machine screws: www.sidewindercomputers.com/lgbowiscsp.html
@@ExplainingComputers Here's some of the research we did to isolate the faulty "push pins" on Intel's stock CPU heatsink/fan ("HSF") assembly: supremelaw.org/systems/heatsinks/warning.htm
...and here I am running more powerful hardware in a network router and already planning the replacement of my Sandy Bridge i7 desktop when I don't do anything nearly as demanding as your work.
Congratulations! Given the time You explain computers, it seems You could make a little history of computing, using Your "explaining computers" videos. Perhaps even more interesting, this could also become a "history of TH-cam", viewed from the work of one contributer? Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tour and congratulations on your 100th video, here's to the next 100! A fantastic channel with many exciting experiments and tech information. I love all of the various computer equipment you have especially that Anker USB 3.0 adaptor and the render machine some really interesting and fun animations. Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video. PS: Have you heard of the Raspberry Pi knockoff called Raspberry Pi Orange? I have seen this on TH-cam, it is made in China and I thought it might make for a good EC video if you manage to get your hands on one. www.orangepi.org/
I've heard of the Orange Pi, but not got hold of one yet. Nor the Rose Apple Pi (I kid you not). This said, next week's video features a LattePanda -- a Pi-like SBC with an Intel CPU. And it comes with Windows 10. :) And I am currently on the waiting list for a CHIP.

The crowded desk says it all : this is a desk for work, and not for show.
:)
kvm's are entirely hardware based and therefore require no software to work
ExplainingComputers so why not get a kvm with a hardware button to handle switching
That is exactly what I've got, I just only use it to switch the keyboard, as I don't want to use the same rodent devices on each PC, and the monitor sorts itself out (in practice I seldom have both PCs running at once, so it picks up whichever is live).

I'm sorry I never had you as my Uni Lecturer. Keep well and have a great week.
very nice video, and congratulations!
5:07 It's amazing that you have a Samsung 830 Pro.
Good Job, and congratulations. :-)
21:9 monitor anytime soon? Guess it suits you well for all the work you do. It did help me in work efficiency and cable management
I often write at my desk, and a 21:9 monitor is very poor for that. So I stick with the 5:4. It all depends on your workflow -- and I like to run all programs full screen.
I actually still have the early version of the JVC S-VHS + MiniDV deck I was editing video on about 16 years ago. Some things you keep.
hopefully they'll be 100 more to which i look forward to watching :)
I don't have a KVM switch like you since I use a USB powered hub that simply uses a button to switch between computers. I find it much easier than having to use a KVM switch.
Congratulations!!!! :)
Your doing a great job on your channel i wish i had 1000 subscribers but, as of late im running out of ideas.
Congratulations on your 100th I hope to see 100 more.
I was expecting some new hardware. It's really cool to see that you don't need to have the latest and greatest. I really like the idea, if isn't broke don't fix it.
I like how you are using the same chair EVEN TODAY since early 1990s.
Haha, the jelly made an appearance!! :) Congratulations!
i was amazed that there wasnt a core i7 6700k build. but an i3 and a core 2 duo with a gtx 650. i love it though
Cumbersome Core 2 Quad
Good taste in music as well, Jeff Wayne's War of the Worlds making an appearance at 14:36. Saw it live in London recently :)
I bet that was a great show.
congratulations!
Heartening to see your desktop is errm overpopulated too
I will remember that. My desk is not untidy. It is overpopulated! :)
That old tower is massive!
Love the Videos keep them coming :)
Nice video, like the animations videos 👍🏻
Chris, Now we KNOW you're secretly a LUNA-TEC! LOL!! p.s. You are probably already aware of this option: we overclock our Q9550 on an ASUS P5Q Premium motherboard simply by upping the Front Side Bus to 400 MHz. When busy with SpeedStep enabled, it runs at 400 x 8.5 multiplier = 3.4 GHz, and we "sync" 16GB of DDR2-800 also at 400 MHz DRAM clock. The Q9650 has a slightly larger multiplier of 9 x 400 = 3.6 GHz. I couldn't quite make out the model number of your Gigabyte motherboard: because it's running your Q9550 AOK, there's a good chance that motherboard will also permit the same overclock. Good luck and KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!! p.s We did remove the faulty "push pins" on the stock Intel HSF, and installed a $5 USD backing plate with spring-loaded chrome-plated machine screws:

Very interesting; thanks for sharing here.
@@ExplainingComputers Here's some of the research we did to isolate the faulty "push pins" on Intel's stock CPU heatsink/fan ("HSF") assembly:

...and I'm almost a exactly year late viewing this.
...Better late than never!
...and here I am running more powerful hardware in a network router and already planning the replacement of my Sandy Bridge i7 desktop when I don't do anything nearly as demanding as your work.
@8:52 The audio switches I noticed the most important piece of equipment on any desk the answer to all problems.....
Blue tack!!!
So true! :)
How funny, i had the same Creative speakerset.
Super cool setup.
Congratulations! Given the time You explain computers, it seems You could make a little history of computing, using Your "explaining computers" videos. Perhaps even more interesting, this could also become a "history of TH-cam", viewed from the work of one contributer? Keep up the good work!
Thanks -- and I really like your idea of doing the history. I have a large archive now. So will get my thinking cap on . . .
Liked it all great video hope to see more in the future.😀👍
I am planning a behind-the-scenes video for my 300th video, which is not that far off now.
Thanks for the tour and congratulations on your 100th video, here's to the next 100! A fantastic channel with many exciting experiments and tech information. I love all of the various computer equipment you have especially that Anker USB 3.0 adaptor and the render machine some really interesting and fun animations.
Keep up the great work and I look forward to your next video.
PS: Have you heard of the Raspberry Pi knockoff called Raspberry Pi Orange? I have seen this on TH-cam, it is made in China and I thought it might make for a good EC video if you manage to get your hands on one. www.orangepi.org/
I've heard of the Orange Pi, but not got hold of one yet. Nor the Rose Apple Pi (I kid you not). This said, next week's video features a LattePanda -- a Pi-like SBC with an Intel CPU. And it comes with Windows 10. :) And I am currently on the waiting list for a CHIP.
