You can tell hes happy to not be stressing about a really expensive really complicated build
I think he's partly also just getting to do something he enjoys without having to have some sponsor breathing down his neck. Sometimes you can just see the "I-work-retail" levels of pain in his eyes as he's introducing sponsors and thanking different companies, with whom he's had the joy of all the behind the scenes drama and dumb stuff we don't normally see unless Steve Burke gets particularly ticked off at somebody like Newegg. So I really think it's not that it's expensive or complicated (he's not poor, and they do get sent stuff) but that it's about the business behind the scenes crap which he's wonderfully bereft of suffering through here. I think that's another reason why he's always so much happier working on old unique hardware, not just for nostalgia or geeking out about something, but because it's *his* as opposed to *theirs* if that makes any sense. It's like doing a personal side business/project you want to do, versus being on deadline and under contract. Which is sad because I think his videos are more joyous to watch when they're joyous.
Well maybe not always. Let's be honest we're all enjoying watching GN suffer the 69 layers of hell of prebuilts.

All in all case is just a container. And you can cut&slice that old brick to tweak airflow up. I always recomend used case for a cheap PC, you can save couple of bucks for better drive or GPU..

I think they should do more with weird janky hardware, even if it’s just more sleeper pcs
Or do a ‘Alex’s junkyard pc guide’ on what things to look for in case etc
I think it's sad that LTT is basically unqualified to do that at this point. like, I'd trust them to review some kind of old bizarre thing or talk about a classic PC, but the fact is they're much too close to being Apple-only user tiers sometimes with Linus himself likely being one of the only non-zoomer types other than Anythony and even he has this tendency to be about "tech" not technology, and yes there's a massive difference.
I don't want to come off as bashing them (which I sometimes do but only when it comes to brand fanboyism, which jayz and HWUB both have preferences but can be at least unbiased, whereas here it's hard to take GPU stuff as seriously sometimes, any maybe partly because of being stuck in the "Intel and nVidia are the only options for gaming" mindset of the early to mid 2010s, or a lot of other years really other than 7970 and now pretty much) but coming here for a neat "trash build PC" and seeing a GTX 1070 be called not just budget but "ruthless economy build" makes it practically impossible for me to take the concept of them even being able to conceptualize the mentality of building a used part PC, when they're buying $10,000 prototype widescreens and dropping multi thousand dollar Threadrippers.
It's really just not their thing, unless it's another neat Linus video of him doing what he's passionate about like finding an utterly bizarre old multi-GPU from before SLI was a thing. It's partly why I think jayztwocents is the most useful out of all of them by far because GN basically does the turbo autis--I mean enthusiast stuff, which can be exceedingly useful for finding a not junk prebuilt, but it's really just Jay who's I think most solidly in touch with the kind of average gamer who could benefit from that. I think it's something that makes his channel really valuable to first time/novice PC builders, because he's really able to connect with that mentality and imagine the kinds of questions and problems that a beginner working on a shoestring budget may come up with, whereas I think that Linus is so thoroughly far removed from that for so long it's like the bourgeois descendant of nouveau riche trying to put together a video for shopping the best K-Mart sneakers. Which is even more odd considering Jay may've been in the business longest and has spare 3090s all over the place.
Again not trying to bash, just pointing it's really not their "brand" in the same sense HWUB said they'd not do gaming mice reviews although mainly my favourite videos of LTT is all the neat weird stuff they find, like that microSD alleged SSD, jank Chinese chips or soldered on 1050tis, ancient computer tech etc. So I do also wonder even just in marketing sense whether it would work for them, or how much shiny new stuff compares to interest in the old/unique hardware.
OH wait also nvm btw Linus actually did one of the best new PC builder videos come to think. It was like hour and a half long, and very both descriptive and concise without being confusing. I was more thinking about someone shopping around comparing parts (I found GN and HWUB the two most useful per part, with techyescity and level1 being good mentions too idk why techyescity isn't brought up as much or Wendel they're both good too).
This looks like the sort of thing I might unironically build.

I feel personally attacked.
why do you even need case?
When I was in college, my first desktop was an eMachines case that I got out of a dumpster, an HP mobo that came from someone who knew I was interested in computers and had a dead computer with a working mobo. It had a Pentium 4 660 clocked at 3.6GHz, with a whopping 1.5GB of RAM. The case was missing the hard drive bays, so my 40GB HDD was out and sitting on the sub woofer for my Logitech speakers with the molex and PATA cables running into the open side of the case. It wasn't much then, and it's even less now, but it was awesome when I had it.
Linus: I built in this when Antec was still relevant.
Me: Looks at my brand new Antec case.

"Ooooh, it's dust!" Dude, I could tell you some real horror stories of things you can find in old abandoned PC cases. Things both alive and dead, spiders of a size that would not be out of place in Mordor. There is the lovely tale of my friend who recovered a VCR by the side of the road. He got it home, plugged it in and all was well - that is until the device warmed up and all the roaches that had been hibernating in there started to stream out into his living room like a scene from 'The Mummy' - but in real life.

I love making old hardware into gaming rigs. My first PC was a parts bin/friends dumping old hardware for next to nothing. Lol
I used that more than my "from the ground up, brand new" build.
I know that case! They were very popular for a few years. It was also my last ATX build.
Newegg no longer stores purchase history before 2010 but I still have the email invoice.
11/16/2007 (13 years ago exactly) - CASE ANTEC|P180B BLACK RT $129.99 (no internet sales tax back then, also free shipping).
I also bought a 250G PATA drive for $70. (I'm up to ~50TB now), Intel E2160 (only $70, low-end dual-core Pentium but great for OC because that was before cpu locking), and 4GB of RAM for $87.
I also bought the WRT54GL router which was very popular for running alternative firmware (e.g. DD-WRT). It was also my first foray into WiFi so I quit having to run ethernet cables around the house.
I had one of the earliest modular PSUs -- Hiper Type-R 580W. Fully-sleeved with nice screw-on coax-type connectors. The company was kind of a one-hit wonder though and no longer exists. That solves the cable problem, even when using PATA (round sleeved PATA cables are thick but look much nicer than the flat grey kind).
Cleaning that case would've cost you literally 0$.
By that logic, employers don't have to pay anyone a salary. They can just work for free because their time and effort is worth nothing.
@@Wheres_my_Dragonator By that logic, this PC is a lot for that $500.
@@milnertechnologies9556 TLDR:the more you look into that argument the more it brakes down
yes but as stated it cost him employee time just to think up this computer not just build it, by that defintion it's not a 500$ PC, the same argument can be made for the budget system, what's the point in tidy wire runs when it's all about performance? On that note why is it not in a cardboard box instead of a PC case, it would be quicker to assemble (so less time/money wasted) and would require less effort to find(less time/money wasted)
@@milnertechnologies9556 I don't think Linus pays himself for hours paid. From what I understand he gets a flat pay with the employees making hourly. Linus can work on it on his off time like his home improvement videos. They still make the buisness money but that wasn't on company time.
@@milnertechnologies9556 by that logic why spend time with his family? Its not making money. Im 100% sure Linus isnt some min maxxed machine programmed for profits.

That poor P180. It was such an amazing case 15 years ago. I'm about to build a file server out of old parts. Mostly my desktop machine I just replaced, but I hate that Sonata Elite case, so I dug out the P180. I believe it came with a CPU power extension cable because it was the first case that put the power supply on the opposite end of the motherboard from the CPU.
Ha I am in the process of doing just this! The streaming service nonsense and cloud file storage provider shenanigans with basic privacy have driven me to build a NAS. It has drive bays for days, and is sturdy enough to stand on. Also there is a 3D printable 120mm fan adapter for the top 5.25 bays.
Out to lunch one day when I was a kid with my parents and brother. We leave the resturant and drive around the back to leave the parking lot. Next to a dumpster is a computer. My dad gets out of the car, walks over to it in the rain, and puts it in the trunk.
When we get home he reformats it, put more harddrives in that he had laying around. Then turns it into our server. Thing ran for years without problems. Named it "Rain man" since we found it in the rain.

Dust is definitely no issue if we're talking side of the road edition cases, i picked up an old phenom II x4 955, 4gb ram and 320gb hdd i found on the sidewalk while walking my dog and the day prior it rained all over the case so there's definitely worse things to go with, still managed to clean it up and make it work just fine before the case rusted and fortunately the rain water didn't make it to any of the internal parts because it was placed under a tree so it didn't get very soaked to begin with, pretty lucky find lmao it made for a sweet htpc with emulation capabilities after i threw in an old hd 6850 i had lying around (which i replaced for a r7 360 that didn't require a 6pin connector and ran cooler and quieter), mid-high end pc from 2012 still putting up a good fight in 2021
Finally, after all these years of asking for an actual budget build from Linus, we finally get the _true_ budget build :D
you mean dirt cheap build
I know it’s a budget build but most people will just get a old workstation desktop and slap a beefy GPU in there with a cheap SSD.

I actually was running a p180 until about 3 months ago, it was my first ever case and it started with a dual core xeon E7210 and a GT 210 and it ended life with a Ryzen 7 2700x and a 306. How times flew in that chassis.

This.

The case even came with a free DVD drive, what a bargain! I can't believe you didn't mention that.
This is literally what happened in the middle of 2020 for me.
I found a thermal take case on the side of the road, guy claimed board and processor was toast.
It had a Asrock z77 X4, and a 3770K and a freaking 970 GTX.
Took it home, turns out, the ram socket was bad. Switched them both to other channel and bam, booting PC.
My next find was a GTX 1080 for just $100, and then a new PSU for 60.
Then, three weeks ago, I found an ASUS 390 board and a i5 9600 for $100.
Imagine building a $1500 sleeper PC, leaving it in your parents house over the summer, and when you get back they donated it as eWaste.
Then proceed to steal $1500 from them
@@LatvianVideo It wasn't their'd to sell so only fair. Technically you can't sell something another person bought even if they are in the family. Just most families aren't jerks enough to take someone to court on that.
I worked at a Goodwill E-waste location and we would get seemingly mint ailenwares and stuff constantly. We always asked people to remove or drill the harddrives but no one ever did. Phones too, people, delete your pictures! That job was fun.

@@weareallbeingwatched4602 No it's a set inside and that's just a set wall. You can see that in Linus's construction and moving videos. It isn't a real window.
Well.. I had pretty much the exact same case. And parts to put together an old i7 3770 system. And an old friend with a 14yo kid. And we built a system for him. And he was the most delighted person I'm ever seen in my life both when we were building and when got it working. And it's like hey, even if they're old parts the kid is inspired to build and make use of it. That's pretty cool.
I have a very similar case but mine looks new... bought it about 5 years ago... I thought the design was pretty neat, the way the internals were modular. My first pc build and wanted a classy/under-stated case.
"Its 14nm, which for Intel that means its either very modern or quite old"
Depends on the number of pluses
Damn. Linus sure loves a good roast.

just picked up a 10400 ES for 138 dollars. killer deal. and even the most dirt cheap H410 has power delivery beefier than my Z97 that ran for years with as much OC as i could get from my 5775c.
The mobo's legit, just that it's meant for mining
I was trying to search for a mustache gaming PC build but this video is authentic.
Yay "retro" builds! Still on my own "budget build" from almost 10 years ago. Core i5-2500K on an MSI p67a-gd55 mobo with 16GB Crucial RAM and a Corsair Hydro H50. The only things I've upgraded are the GPU (GTX 970 - 4 years ago) and SSD (512GB 2 years ago, upgraded to 1TB this year). All in a Antec Three Hundred Illusion case with a Raidmax 730W modular PSU. The system is, arguably, showing its age. Then again, so am I.
"meet... Computer case! It has features like front panel" had me dying
Honest question who put front IO first? In USB era?
Might as well have just used the box the other case came in. XD
My NZXT H500 doesn't have a front panel 😂
Linus: "It identifies as a Xeon..."
It can be whatever it wants
It's 2020, we can't assume a CPU's architecture, process node, or product family.

I really want more builds like this. I love the creatively cheap systems.
I instantly recognized the Antec P180 when Linus pulled the wrecked shell onto the desk. What I didn't expect is for his P180 and mine to be part of the Side of the Road Edition. Looks as if you had to compromise on the front facia while I wound up with a bashed-in pair of USB ports. No chance you'd want to part with that molded plug, would you, Linus? 😉
"The Antec Side of the Road Edition"......So that's what fell out of the back of the truck on my way to the landfill
I used to have this case, now my dad still has it in his home office. The idea with the PSU at the bottom heat-shielded from the mobo and also all mobo heat could be vented topwards (the natural direction hot air wants to go) without passing through the PSU first with the right CPU cooler installed in the right direction was pretty rad when that case was new!
@@renereiche seems like it could deliver almost rackmount server type airflow. Like it would have better pressure with the different compartments.
OK, I'm just gonna say it. I think that case looks pretty badass. I love that industrial utilitarian/military look. It's even got front mounts for optical drives and removable HDDs/SSDs!
"Our partition is gone" - *The* most terrifying part of the entire video. I'd suggest melting down that hard dive as fast as possible, before someone makes the mistake of using it for something important.

@@VeggieRice You're clueless or insanely rich. I know people with NAS of HDDs for a total 32TB or more.
@@brenlouissurio2404 Storage demands for gaming haven't changed that much since 2015, which has allowed SSD to catch up to HDDs. These days, you can get SSD storage for 3x or 4x the price of HDDs, not to mention most game assets are about to shrink to half the size since there won't be duplicate data everywhere.
A 2 TB SSD sets you back around $160, and is all you will realistically need for storage the next 10 years. :) Add to that NVMe boot drive and 4xNVMe x16 PCIe expansion cards, and you're looking at all the fast storage you will ever need in your PC.
Hey! ive got that case kicking around downstairs! going to be putting a RAID array in there for my first (small) storage solution. I also got the "Side of the Road" Edition! so cool to see this rare edition in a LTT video lmao
the people on r/battlestations will never know the joy of building a pc out of janky but somehow also respectable parts

“eww dust” doesn’t clean the dust out

very good edition btw, i got the Maxdata Unidentified Side Of The Road Edition™, would recommend
Love how when I built my pc I was able to be nearly as ruthless in some cases: spent 10 euros for a cacheless 250gb SSD, went for a single stick 16 GB of ram for 50 euros (even the same exact stick they have), reused my old grandpa's case (bought in 2002), hard drives(2006 and 2007, one of them had an IDE interface), and PSU (a 535 watts pu from 2005).
All of this with an used LGA 1151 motherboard for 40 euros, an i5 9400f (only thing I bought new, for like 120 euros). And then, at the very start I used my grandpa's graphics card (an ATI x300), and then switched to a gt1030.
Only like 2 years ago I switched most parts
