_To those asking about wattage:_ With everything powered on, playing an MP3 through Winamp, fans at full blast, and a cassette playing, it hovers around just 63 watts! It helps not having a GPU or spinning hard disk. The cigarette lighter is the main thing that pushes it, going up to 160 watts while warming up the lighter. twitter.com/lazygamereviews/status/1672316549112143872

If you keep the lighter and AC, you should at least move the AC above the lighter to help cool down the plastic around the heat coils so there's no melting/fires/explosions. I'm not a smoker, but I just love the novelty of having a cigarette lighter and tray in a PC. It really ties in the whole "car dashboard as a tower" feel.

I love it!

Had an Athlon 64 x2 4800+ in 2006 and that computer was amazing. Never had any issues when i upgraded it from XP MCE 2005 to Vista Ultimate 64 bit. Played so much Oblivion on that system. Thanks for the fun memories 😁

You could get the visuliser on that display, with the tape drive. Winamp has a line in plugin, you can have winamp muted while "Playing" the line in and it should run the spectrum analyser for you.

It's aliiiiive! Great work getting this setup and the dedication to re-install vista 32-bit for the full Ultimate Oddware experience! That audio chain is wild 😂 Playing Duke Nukem 3D with that remote was an unexpected bonus here, and just the kind of wonky experiments I love the most (Experimentation with unique input devices.) Thanks as always for the entertainment & have a great summer!

Omg this thing is beatuifully redonkulous! Love it!

Very cool computer. good to see all this components work together.

At first, I was thinking "Ah, that's a reasonably good powerhouse of a machine for that era", and then you mention Vista, and and it all makes sense.

love it! needs an e-z-bake oven, tho. 😁

Clint, I think I saw this tower on an episode of Stargate sg1 back in the day. Love this build, mate!

The Antec 1200 was such a great case! It just had so much room in it compared to anything else around and still looks pretty good today (looks better than this rainbow shit we have today IMO). I still have one in storage with my old x58 system, I'm holding onto that system so I can pull it out again if I have kids one day, there were some great games from this era. This was a very nostalgic video for me haha, cheers LGR, this video made my day!

You definitely need one of those ergo split keyboards. The ones with the left and right side keys split into separate keyboards. Or maybe a vertical chording keyboard.

I built my Win 11 work PC in a 1U server case mounted in the rack using a similar cooler. I can hear it kick up from the other room when I put the PC under a load.

27:21 is a fever dream. Loved the whole video, great stuff.

This was a lovely trip down nostalgia lane 🥰

I used to try to populate the drive bays as well. I'm personally a fan of fan controls on the front. Also front I/O and memory card reader combos.

12:00 if you want to use PLA(+) you should think about using Annealing. It’s really easy to do and can strengthen your prints quite a bit, adding more heat resistance to it 😁👍

I instead recommend PVB filament, so that you can smooth it with isopropyl then burn it out to do an investment casting of zamak alloy.

I have no idea what is going on, but this whole video & voice are so chill.

Amazing. When I was in high school (~2000s) I had a computer that had a few similar-looking devices in my tower. It was glorious and useless. This makes me really miss having a desktop computer!

Absolutely pure awesomeness. :) ❤

OMFG… LCDsmartie… I remember building a HTPC for my dad in like 2007, and it had a screen that was controlled by that / had to set it up. Have not thought about that in forever.

The moment you apply thermal compound is expertly hidden by editing so as not to cause a rumpus down here; well done LGR

once i build my own pc, i'll definitely have a cd/dvd drive and an audio visualiser, this is so rad

Perfectly absurd and I love it

I'd love to have that Antec case and fill it with hot swappable HDD modules for a diy NAS

I absolutely hate/love it! It's beautiful/makes my eyes hurt! Brilliant video, thanks very much for making it!

Congratulations! You've just started a new trend!
