    Hey! I'm the one that put that archive up! I'm glad I had the foresight to do that. Most of these devices got sold to hospitals and healthcare centers in Colorado and other major cities. The sandforce SSDs die when you submit them to the usual DOD wipe resellers are forced to do to be legit. Back when I made that archive, Steam was just getting ready a month prior to kill XP support, and I was sitting there, with an Xi3 X5A, complete with 2GB of RAM, an Athlon64 X2 3400e, and mobility HD3650 graphics... and a 16GB Sandisk SSD because I was broke. it was AMAZING that they even had XP drivers to begin with, but even to this day I always wanted one of the higher end boxes to play with. I even thought about using the box as a makeshift home server with the eSATA port hooked to an external enclosure that never materialized.
    A little bit of background, the CEO was retired military turned business tycoon and I have no doubt in my mind that the end game was to make ruggedized small modular PCs for the military as well as "upgradeable" PCs for the consumer market-- why else would the sides be removable after all? especially the port end... wouldn't have been hard to make one whole board with all the inputs and outputs a military application needed to survive, after all. He had ambitions set too high for maximum bank. And that's not to even note that if memory serves, one of the other ventures run by him was a military contracting company of some flavor.
    In the end I'm glad the files I painstakingly downloaded and archived helped someone with a model much newer than mine.

    When I was doing IT ~10 years ago in a school, these were our "computer lab" machines. Just Vesa mount em to the back of the monitor, and they were pretty slick installs. Also, fun fact! The chassis isn't grounded -at all-. I'm a static-y person, and I killed probably a dozen of these things by pressing the power button and zapping them with static.

    Seeing a "Trinity" APU brought me back to my early PC gaming days. Rocked an A10-5700 which had 2 cores, 4 threads, 10GB of RAM (no idea why they added that extra 2GB stick) and the best integrated graphics I had ever seen. I could play Minecraft without being stuck to Low view distance! Then I popped in a 750Ti a few years later and I was really living the dream. Good times.

    Here's a good way to... Either stress test, or explode your devices:
    1) GMOD
    2) get a dupe with at least 50 ragdolls with thrusters
    3) press any key to continue.
    or just, spam explosives. Physics in gmod generally thrashes those old cpus.

    • @glennglog22
      @glennglog22 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +35

      Pardon the "um ackshually" but I don't think it'd be a great performance metric because the code of the source engine is simply so unoptimized that even on my PC with a Ryzen 5 and RTX 2070, gmod will scream in pain without causing so much as a stirr on the part of the CPU. Unless you run it on an Intel Atom or some Dell laptop from 2013 or older, it'll perform the same either way
      Could still cause a memory leak tho

    Whoa! The Xi3 out in the wild! My dad actually worked on these twelve years ago, I think. I thought the concept was really cool. It was supposed to be a modular system that could be upgraded with additional storage and compute units later on by just plugging the units together.
    The model you have doesn't have the ePCIe port (literally "external PCI Express", like a thunderbolt port before thunderbolt was more than just Apple), and that port was supposed to be the new extensibility, rather than needing to open up the unit to add components.

    Hot glue tips:
    1. It is actually pretty easy to repair a hot glue gun. It's literally just a hot thingy and a feeding mechanism. It literally just shoves the hot glue stick in one end of the hot thing and hot glue comes out the other side. Oh, and there's a little thing that stops the stick from escaping.
    2. If you get hot glue on your hands, simply rub the glue as much as possible, thus making giving it much more surface area to cool off. This is so effective that if you do it fast enough, you can actually use it intentionally to shape the hot glue without hurting yourself. Speed is the key.
    3. Hot glue gets more powerful the hotter it was. You can go from basically useless to harder than wood or crappy plastic. In most cases, you don't need full heat.
    4. Stop the strings by wrapping them around the front part of the hot glue gun.

    Im sure someone else has already said it, but that thing you showed off was called i believe, the "Piston". The reason it had all of those UI ports was the thing was meant to be a modular PC. Which would come with a bunch of extra stuff like an external GPU and hardrive and the like. It was shown off briefly when Steam Machines were gonna be a thing but then disappeared into the ether like most of Steam Machines.

    I have one of these and I absoutely love it. Its my baby. I bought it off of ebay listing it as a raspberry pi subsitute (I think 3b+ was newest at the time). I never had any ram issues with it and now I will have to check out the bios update. I will say if you populate both msatas and boot a linux live cd (I use lmde) you will notice one is msata and one is marked as "removable". Only the one marked as "removable" will boot (don't ask me), It will also not boot from the INTERNAL SD card slot you missed. The thing turns into a fireball if you put pressure on the gpu, even noctua fan replacements cannot tame this beast. Any cpu load is fine though its just the gpu.

It's a neat design, and modern AMD APUs are far better suited to this kind of thing.
