I am a broken man. So, many boxes. So many stairs...but boy is this worth it. Normal content will resume in early January and I'll continue to work on building this space, and getting a little break off for Christmas in the next couple of weeks. Thank you so much to all of you for making this possible, it's incredible to think how far we've come over the last few years and it's all thanks to you. Neil - RMC
RMC - The Cave Broken? More like cave poor! It's wonderful! Keep at it! Don't forget to lift with your legs! Also don't forget to take a rest even if you have to push a video out a week so you don't get burnt out! So excited! I think this is the right step forward for your channel!
@serpentza your such an inspiration. Great that you reveal whats happening in China.. and that you like retro or even Amigas. Thats just a humongous bonus. I watch your content and Voice of North Korea by Yeonmi Park. You are such important influencers and your knowledge is what people should listen to. Thanks to you and laowhy for the content you make. All the best from Oslo, Norway I did an interview with an Amiga person from Iraq, amitopia.com/amiga-had-70-share-in-1990-in-iraq-in-our-exclusive-mados-interview/ its a bit on the side of what you do, but it shows what wars can destroy. Great health to you.
That smile on your face says it all. Everything else is a distant second. This really is an awesome space. Being on the top floor, it's not really a "cave" but the old building, with the finish on the walls really does make it look cave-like. I can see you being very happy here.
This is the perfect place for a retro computing channel, A mill, looms where some of the very first early programmable machines, using a rudimentary punched cards system, you should stick a pulley system on the wall out side that hatch so you can just haul the stuff upto the cave with a rope.
People with hair don't realise what a great early warning device it is in low roof spaces!! Looking really good for you Neil and you look really happy there. Hope you get settled quickly and good luck in your new "Cave". ( My Cave is also in my loft!)
Ah! Man, nothing like that feeling you get when you are in your new place and the excitement of the possibilities of what you can do with it especially when you have so much space! I have that same feeling here about my house. I lived in a tiny 3 floor house that each floor was the size of a caravan, and now I live in a 3 floor house the size of 3 small houses per floor! Oh what blessing it is!! I could feel the excitement as you toured that beautiful historic building! The top floor! That is so ME!
Congrats on the new Cave 2.0 Neil. Fully deserved. One of the only two youtubers I will watch every video produced, no matter the subject. There are some beautiful mills like that around me, one of them was operating as a museum to the textile industry up until the Covid outbreak with a working steam engine room.
@Kevin I played the amiga version, but the ST was first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedball_2:_Brutal_Deluxe „ The first version was released in 1990 for the Atari ST.“
@Kevin It wasn't even the capabilities difference between the machines, it was the fact that the Atari ST was born out of hate and vengeance because Jack Tramiel was denied the Amiga (by his old company Commodore he was forced out of, no less) so he set out to try and destroy it. Thankfully he and the ST failed in that endeavor, though the ST did cost the Amiga dearly in sales and the ST never had any other reason to exist and wouldn't have if not for Jack wanting revenge.
"This is the Atari cupboard." That made me laugh a lot more than it probably should have. Can't wait to see the Cave 4.0 come together! Congratulations on the new studio.
Those rough walls and the vaulted ceilings are excellent for the acoustics - you'll barely need to do any acoustic treatment at all. The perfect location.
Can only speak for myself, but having felt like we came along on this journey with you, to continue to show us progress of the new cave would be exciting and would very much like to see it. Can't wait. Looks a great new space. Looking forward to getting an open day ticket next year.
Living in an 800 square foot bungalow (incidentally the same size LGR once said his house is) I was thinking the same thing. However, also thinking of LGR he had said how he deliberately keeps his work and home separate. Having once started trying to fault find a PC after waking up at 3AM I can understand why he does that.
You were lucky to find such an excellent place. Plenty of space inside and a beautiful environment outside. I look forward to seeing your progress as you transition into it.
CONGRATS!!! So glad things worked out! Such a great space and lots of potential. Can't wait to see everything finished. Also, if it's possible please make a series showing the remodel and everything. I'm 100% sure the rest of the viewers agree with me. PS I love the office. I'm jealous! Cheers from the U.S.
What a wonderful space mate! Look forward to new content filmed in there along with possible ghost sightings. Some ideas: -Smaller wooden barrels for seats (not very ergo but work for short use?) -A sleep space when Neil needs a lie down/pulling all nighter -Ask the landlord if there are old pieces of machinery/tools around you could use for decorating
You sir deserve every advantage you come across. I am glad of the upgrade, what means for you and what it means for your loyal watchers.. Cheers from the Canad-erps!
Absolutely stoked for you. Not only cos you've found a great new place for the cave; but because your business is growign enough to make it viable! The first thought I had when you went into that room was: I want it myself for 3D printers, then you mentioned the landlord used to use it for that. lol Wishing you many successful years in the mill Niel.
What an awesome place you have there. I'm certainly interested in seeing the cave evolve as you build it together and absolutely would be up for a visit once your finished. I also think you're doing the right thing by taking your time with it, that'll give you the opportunity to plan out better how you want it all finished.
Looks amazing, congratulations! can´t wait for the first episode in this new cave. I bet everyone is expecting an inaguration video. However it looks like is floating on top of that pond, aren´t you going to have humidity problems, maybe when putting things against the stone walls? I´ve had a couple of old TVs ruined by humidity. 6:00 I couldn´t stop thinking about the meme: OI, OI, OI, you got a license for that chum? 13:44 the number of network sockets is a sign giving you the amount of people you could have for the party The success you are having with your channel is absolutelly inspiring! Wishing you all the best!
Excellent spot! So happy for you mate! And yes, please do keep the update videos coming. Really looking forward to seeing how this evolves. Once all this COVID situation improves I'm looking forward to taking a trip down to England to see The Museum of Everything Else and whatever you do with your new space. can't wait.
I don't know how you did it but you found a great new place that matches some of your wonderful character, curiosity, and charm. It will be great to see the progress on your new place and can't wait to see the content coming from a new exciting cave.
WOAH! That place is majestic. Massive congratulations RMC Retro. This is extremely well deserved. It proves that hard work and passion really pays off. Thanks for all you do for the retro community. We are lucky to have you and I am very excited to see the new content you produce in this beautiful new home. Lots of AmigaLove from AmigaBill
Congratulations on the new RMC ( Retro Mill Cavern ) venue....Look forward to what you mange to do with the place! Certainly hope you don't rush to get back up & running - we will all still be here no matter how long it takes after all !!! Take your time , plenty of breaks and cups of tea! Hopefully plenty of time lapse shots as it all comes together? Sounds like the new Landlord is maybe a secret RMC fan? Pass on our thanks to them for letting us all share such a lovely building & location - look forward to the day when we can finally join you for one ( or more ) of the private open days ( or is it open private days? ) - hope the car park is big enough for us all ?
Thank you I really appreciate it. There's so much to do but we'll find a balance in the new year to keep the momentum going of developing the space and making videos
@@RMCRetro I am sure if we are allowed to travel in the new year that many of us would feel lucky to be able to join you & help carry some stuff up the stairs, move furniture or even just keep a constant supply of tea & biscuits on hand? We are a community so feel free to call on us for help if you feel the need !
Looks like a perfect space for modern loft! I would definitely watch a progress videos between saving and upgrading Amigas... Congratulations Neil! I'm proud of you! Cheers!
The space looks great! You're right about the texture of the wall with the RGB lighting on it, I really like that effect. I think I'd personally be interested in the periodical updates.
So pleased 4 u Neil! The new place (palacel) looks ace...A ray of hope in these grim times!......as they say....as 1 door closes.....another 1 opens..? Retro mill cave is it not!?
I am so happy for you. This looks like a fantastic place. Easy to see the sparkles in your eyes when you talk about the possibilities. Looking forward to follow your channel :-)
Looks like the old landlord has actually done you a favour as you now have a much better space than you originally had - just a shame about the journey you had to go on to get there.
It looks great, I worked in a Mill for a Tech company a few years back , great surroundings, enjoy your new space, I look forward to seeing the new vids and private exhibitions sounds awesome
This is turning into a retro version of Jayz 2 Cents moving to a new and larger premesis every few years with a video series on getting the setup done.
What an awesome space you have now. And it looks incredibly beautiful around the surrounding area with the weir and other lovely views. Should be very inspiring for you as well. Looking forward to seeing more videos as you progress along this new path both your usual retro fare and the setup of the new space. And Merry Christmas for next week as well.
What a perfect setting and location. It's almost like it's been purposely built for you. Lots of hard work ahead to get it set up, I'm sure, but it's going to be so rewarding too. Don't we all want to enjoy our work, after all?

Does the landlord have to make regular access to that space? Might need a "on air" or "recording" sign!
It looks absolutely wonderful Neil.
Congrats on the new space Neil, looks like a nice upgrade!
That's a great amount of space. Once COVID is behind us, I'd love to come by and see it in person!
It would be my honour David, any time mate
Hey! I was hoping you guys were friends! I love both of your content! You guys make my day!
Most retro tech channel hosts are really nice people. It would have surprised me if they weren't. :)
And you might go and check out the new space David is building
We want a collab video of RMC and The 8-bit Guy!
Looks marvelous! A retro building to house retro tech! Excited to see how this progresses

Loving Retro Mill Computers.... Congratulations on the amazing space!
I absolutely would love to hear any history you find about the mill or the area! Beautiful building!
Yeah... that place looks like it has a few stories within those massive stone walls... what a gorgeous place! :-)
I'd love to hear about that too, great idea!
yes please
Wow! I love the old brittish architecture! Fantastic building!
So much room for activities! Congrats on the new space. It looks amazing!
This is the perfect place for a retro computing channel, A mill, looms where some of the very first early programmable machines, using a rudimentary punched cards system, you should stick a pulley system on the wall out side that hatch so you can just haul the stuff upto the cave with a rope.
"if not, I'll just do it in my own time and I won't film it" * _and the crowd began chanting:_ Montage! Montage! Montage! *

There are some beautiful mills like that around me, one of them was operating as a museum to the textile industry up until the Covid outbreak with a working steam engine room.
I actually laughed out loud regarding your "Atari ST cupboard"
That almost made me un-sub.. Stuff I learned on the Atari ST was how and why I became a IT pro.
Me too, I loved the delivery. I have never seen an ST for real, but am so thankful for it giving birth to speedball 2
but the cuppoard was not only dedicated to the st, it also was HUGE. i suspect rmc wants to collect and lot of them and store them in there.
@Kevin I played the amiga version, but the ST was first en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedball_2:_Brutal_Deluxe „ The first version was released in 1990 for the Atari ST.“
@Kevin It wasn't even the capabilities difference between the machines, it was the fact that the Atari ST was born out of hate and vengeance because Jack Tramiel was denied the Amiga (by his old company Commodore he was forced out of, no less) so he set out to try and destroy it. Thankfully he and the ST failed in that endeavor, though the ST did cost the Amiga dearly in sales and the ST never had any other reason to exist and wouldn't have if not for Jack wanting revenge.
Talk about retro! The new (old) cave looks great, well done Neil 👍🕹️
"This is the Atari cupboard."

Can't wait to see the Cave 4.0 come together! Congratulations on the new studio.
Those rough walls and the vaulted ceilings are excellent for the acoustics - you'll barely need to do any acoustic treatment at all. The perfect location.
Reminds me of the history of Clive Sinclair. I had to look it up but Sinclair Radionics was in an old mill also :)
I thought exactly the same.
Can only speak for myself, but having felt like we came along on this journey with you, to continue to show us progress of the new cave would be exciting and would very much like to see it. Can't wait. Looks a great new space. Looking forward to getting an open day ticket next year.
I could live in a place like that. Rooms for my tools, building 2 bedrooms, kitchen... An amazing open loft concept.
Living in an 800 square foot bungalow (incidentally the same size LGR once said his house is) I was thinking the same thing. However, also thinking of LGR he had said how he deliberately keeps his work and home separate. Having once started trying to fault find a PC after waking up at 3AM I can understand why he does that.
The new place looks great. Congrats!
I would die for a place like that!!
Like literally just sleep on a sofa and eat dry bread.
Absolutely amazing!
Mental lol! Congrats!
Cheers Rich!
Talk about an upgrade! Looks great.
You were lucky to find such an excellent place. Plenty of space inside and a beautiful environment outside. I look forward to seeing your progress as you transition into it.
Room with the water and the 16 amp/3 phase outlets would be for Co2 laser cutters

Yup
What a wonderful space mate! Look forward to new content filmed in there along with possible ghost sightings.
Some ideas:
-Smaller wooden barrels for seats (not very ergo but work for short use?)
-A sleep space when Neil needs a lie down/pulling all nighter
-Ask the landlord if there are old pieces of machinery/tools around you could use for decorating
Amazing space! I do hope you share the process with us as it evolves, I cant wait to see what you do with it.
Excellent! Please keep us updated on your progress! The setting around your building is exquisite.
I REALLY LOVE this space! WOW!
You sir deserve every advantage you come across. I am glad of the upgrade, what means for you and what it means for your loyal watchers.. Cheers from the Canad-erps!
Bored of this!??!? WHAT? NO!!. WE WANT FULL VIDEOS SHOWING HOW YOU REPAIR THE NEW CAVE AND EVERYTHING YOU DO! MAKE IT A VLOG!! PLEASE!!
Absolutely stoked for you. Not only cos you've found a great new place for the cave; but because your business is growign enough to make it viable!
The first thought I had when you went into that room was: I want it myself for 3D printers, then you mentioned the landlord used to use it for that. lol
Wishing you many successful years in the mill Niel.
Wow! It's the RMC Penthouse!
Commodore PETs one side, Penthouse Pets the other?

I also think you're doing the right thing by taking your time with it, that'll give you the opportunity to plan out better how you want it all finished.
looks amazing, i can just imagine some mini summer 8 or 16 bit expo happening.. have a great Christmas Neil, all the best for 2021
Wonderfully jealous of the space! Well done! San Diego California here and loving the historical building you chose.
Congratulations Neil, a fantastic new location. I don't envy that office move up and down that many flights of stairs!
Looking awesome. I love the green glow behind the cave.
Looks like there's room for a switch, a number of desks and an RMC LAN party :)

My first thought - "Oh, oh! Attic! Could be very warm in the summer". But then I remembered, it is England :D Nice place!
The new cave looks great! The older building is a much better choice than the newer office spaces!
Ok, the new cave exterior gives some vibes from the first "Black Sabbath" album cover photograph. Approved immediately!
"What is this that stands before me?"
@@sugaryhull9688 I love RMC third album "master of virtual reality". Specially the song "children of the cave"

Future project: 3D print a new wheel for the mill and have it power your computers.
Wonderful looking new space. Very impressed. What a nice spot, with a great history. Excellent choice!
I guess the weir outside is to wash all the rust off those dodgy Amiga's ...
Jon C - Atari STE owner... yes someone had to buy one :)

So. Much. Want.
Yes +1 to jumper!
The space looks great! You're right about the texture of the wall with the RGB lighting on it, I really like that effect. I think I'd personally be interested in the periodical updates.
If this building was a mill, maybe you can reactivate parts of it and generate your own power from the water? :)
Oh my word! what a magnificent building to house The Cave... kudos Neil and the team (very very interested to see how it all evolves)
"That area" - RMC Cafe!
RMC - The Café :D

- The landlord asks why he needs to make Neil the new tenant
- ...because he's holding a thermal detonator
What has he done to deserve this?
AWESOME! Beautiful place, cant wait to see it all kitted out. Looking forward to all the videos.
"Up the loft with RMC"
You don't get any more retro tech than an old water mill... As a professional in the cultural heritage sector, I definitely approve!
The outside of the building reminds me of the Black Sabbath album cover...
lots of awesome lighting potential for that vaulted ceiling. RGB. Fiber Optic. Acrylic edge lights. LAZORZ! Cyberpunk that place up.
Looks like the old landlord has actually done you a favour as you now have a much better space than you originally had - just a shame about the journey you had to go on to get there.
I Love your new place, I am happy for you. I hope you can stay there as long as you want!
Well its not a cave anymore right ?
Its a Loft

Congrats on the new digs. Great looking exterior postcard views.
Guess you'll have to christen the place by playing some Atic Atac on the BBC.
Wasted so many hours of my younger life on Atic Atac
It looks great, I worked in a Mill for a Tech company a few years back , great surroundings, enjoy your new space, I look forward to seeing the new vids and private exhibitions sounds awesome
Million dollar view from the window - yeah, we need to cover that up.

Gonna have to rename the channel again, RMA - The Attic
Location, Location, Location... WOW, what a place... 👏👏👏
Time to change (again!) the channel name: RMC - The Attic
Office.
I love watching TH-camrs in the process of upgrading their spaces. More videos about the process as you go would no doubt be appreciated by many
that's over 600 feet
a lot more 1m² is roughly 3x3=9 feet² so 200 m² is around 1800 feet².
but never mind, i also often get confused when i convert areas or volumes :)
Awesome space and so much potential! Look forward to the next few months to see what you do with it all. Thanks
This is turning into a retro version of Jayz 2 Cents moving to a new and larger premesis every few years with a video series on getting the setup done.
Not sure that "Neilz Tuppence" has quite the same ring to it, though. 🤔
