I started with html+css and python. If your feeling brave you could start with C#.

Ragewank. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
 
Jokes aside, i usually put on some heavy metal music, and go to town on CSGO. I tend to do better when i am pissed off.

Recently my brother asked me for advice regarding NAS solutions. I myself have two Synology units (DS715 and DS212) but he was looking for something which would perform just as well as the DS715 while costing significantly less.
So I suggested a custom build with specs as follows:
ASRock Q1900DC-ITX motherboard 2TB WD RED hard drive 4 gigs of RAM
Case wise, we couldn't agree on anything off the shelf that would meet both size and capacity requirements and when he showed me this 1985 Philips VCR on an Internet auction I told him I could make it work.

This VCR turned out to be perfect for this - lots of real estate with some good ventilation. Not wanting so much space go to waste I decided to throw in a Rasbperry Pi running RasPlex.
If I was building it for myself, I'd most definitely try unRaid and run Plex client off of the ASRock motherboard but since this build is my brothers who lives some 4 hrs drive away, I figured a dedicated hardware running plex client would be a better choice.
I gutted out the VCR.

Made aluminium frames for both PCBs and put some threaded inserts where screws go in.

I did all the wiring reusing the power and reset tactile switches and fixed a pair of power and hard drive activity LEDs. Made two frames to hold a pair of hard drives (mounting only one for the time being) and put everything together.





Hope no one will mind me posting this educational video (I know at least one person who could learn a thing or two from it *cough*Luke*cough*). I did read the rules a few times and I think I should be good but I know you can never be sure about anything  
 
 

Title; Not sure if this was brought up yet, I did a search but I did not find anything.
If this was already asked answered, apologies. :(
*edit
I am referring to I.E. 11, the buttons do work fine in MS Edge though.
 

What worry's me the most apart from linus's face is how much time you put into this.

I just picked one up for 120$ nzd which is about 75$ usd. I reckon its not a bad deal. Winter is coming...

Steam often goes down for short periods of time(Like right now). Some things to do when you have no connection are.(for ref)
1. Restart the program
2. Make sure you are connected to the internet

1. Try restarting
2. Try and install one of the games, that were originally working and see if it discovers original files.
3. Make sure the directory where your games are located are shown in steam

berg for floppy drives very useless

Use your fingers.

Use pcpartpicker.com, it will help you put parts together.

Clean off the PCB with 99% isopropyl alcohol to remove any corrosion or residue from the fluid, it will also displace any water that is left there or under the SMD components.

You got a some good deals.. 
I love these old hardware builds

M.2 can act as a pci ssd or a sata one.

Sick parts, can't wait to see what it will look like all together(mainly just the ram tbh). R.I.P to all of the necks twisted.

You shouldn't notice that much of a difference, only slightly longer load times in some cases.
