I guess all retro RU-vidrs need to have a 'modern' build every once in a while 😉. This build gives off the warm look of a gas heater!

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

yeah, I kinda like that solid dark orange (fire) look at the end. That's how I ended up keeping it :)

@terosaarela4555 5 месяцев назад

That paint job came out very nice! A step drill is a great bit for drilling holes onto sheet metal.

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

I forgot, I think I have one somewhere :) Thanks!

@extrameatsammich 5 месяцев назад

@@Epictronics1 You can also use the next size drill bit to deburr a hole in metal or plastic. You want to twist it with your fingers and just enough pressure to bite the burr.

@davidp4456 5 месяцев назад

You said you were going to do a budget build and spend as little as possible. Then ‘voilà’ you produce one of the nicest and expensive cases I’ve seen in a long time😂😂.

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

I guess, I could have reused the old Fractal case ones more :)

@catriona_drummond 5 месяцев назад

The North is not really expensive when you look at the whole case market. There are hundreds of cases way above 200 $ these days. It's not a 40 bucks banger but still pretty much middle class.

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

@POVwithRC 5 месяцев назад

Very good. No matter how vintage you are, you still need modern hardware to run things behind the scenes. Make it pretty 🥰 The North looks like Ikea should be selling it.

@MonochromeWench 5 месяцев назад

A white computer is a good match for RGB lighting. Display Port to VGA adapters work very well in my experience. Display Port was designed for these adapters. With VGA becoming rare, it would be a good idea to get an adapter sooner than later as it might become difficult to get a good one.

@stephen.mcguire 5 месяцев назад

As soon as your started drilling out the rivets I said to myself, "there goes the warranty!". Good gracious that's a beautiful build, thanks for sharing.

@antonb8687 4 месяца назад

That hole you drilled in the PSU shroud is neat! While I was putting my own build together I kept thinking to myself that I wished that there were more holes for cable routing. Otherwise I really like the case!

It's a nice feeling to build a new system from scratch.. Keeping the recent vintage GPU is a nice touch, especially with the minor mod to it. Very nice.. glad to see that monitor sent in, very nice of them!!

@VicTheVicar 5 месяцев назад

The repurposing and repainting of the new case was a very Epictronics thing to do! It looks great, but perhaps could it look even better in off white beige? ;)

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

Everything looks great in beige ;) Thanks

@wizardjd64 5 месяцев назад

Nice combination using your old keyboard with your modern build at the end there.

@drewnewby 5 месяцев назад

Excellent work, the RGB mod on that Titan came out great. The only add I'd suggest would be cable combs, or like we did back in the 90s on base transceiver stations, diy ones using zip ties, since they come in all colors.

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

Thanks!

@exxor9108 5 месяцев назад

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

@eddiehimself 5 месяцев назад

Funnily enough, I got a free Radeon HD 5870 where someone had done an LED strip mod on it lol. Since it was going in a windowless case, I took it out. In terms of HDMI to VGA converters, I got one for my file-server for about £4 or so (I'm not using a CRT monitor with it, but an old beige 15" LCD). It works nicely, and I haven't noticed much in the way of latency, although I'm sure it wouldn't be ideal for 240 fps competitive first-person shooters :)

@8antipode9 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I've talked myself out of upgrading my daily driver for years now. Don't have a compelling reason to do it. Got lots of reasons not to: mainly, I built my computer case as a drawer that fits into the tower-shaped spot in my oak desk. Doesn't seem like ATX is going away any time soon, so I'll probably be good for a long while.

@Epictronics1 5 месяцев назад

Yeah, I planned to reuse my 10 year old Fractal again, but I really liked the look of this case

@awilliams1701 5 месяцев назад

I know LGR ran the newest ms flight sim on his threadripper with 3x CRTs. Pretty sure that was converted. I didn't hear him complain. It's probably a lot easer to make a VGA signal from digital then to convert a VGA signal back to digital.

@nyccontrabass3489 5 месяцев назад

@@Epictronics1 for me aesthetically best to keep the inside of the case black with all of the hardware you have. Those black grommets… just doesn’t work! Perhaps try using white silicone spray? I can imagine an all white interior with a black video card to stand out or all hardware white especially with such a nice case. I think that’s why the case manufacturer went with a black interior because the grommets aren’t produced in white.
