This guy has a PROBLEM - Tech Hoarders

[Emily Young]

What happens when you combine a tech nerd with means and storage space? Tech Hoarders! Let's see what wonders await - Featuring Brian the electrician!

 

 

Maybe start a tech hoard of your own - They'll be retro, too, some day!

 

Buy a Core i5 9600KF:

is he selling stuff tho

What's weird about keeping the eee PC quick guides...

[Nystemy]

And here I sit myself, having literally 21 Intel core two dues in a tray, and a couple of blade servers, an old dual socketed AMD board, etc, etc.....

But well, I would likely hoard a few more computer thingies if I had the room for it.

After all, I got to have room for hoarding electronics components too for various projects, not to mention electronics test equipment, etc...

[greenhorn]

Wow, now that was impressive. There is enough stuff in there to make several seasons of scrapyard wars possible without leaving this house.

@BrianTheElectrician you should open a museum, your collection is really nice. And let me say that your stuff is very well organized in that basement, that must have taken some time to set up.

[Kaydax]

I love this mans collection

[AnonymousGuy]

Yeah this guy really does have a problem.  I toss out stuff that there's no chance I'm ever going to use again.  Like Windows 98 discs....there's zero chance that I'm going to install that on something, and even if I needed to I could download an ISO faster than finding the disc.  I haven't used an IDE cable is well over 8 years.  3TB in a storage server isn't even worth the electricity it's costing to keep it running.  The list goes on and on.

What was that little square flashing box on Linus's hip near the beginning of the video? Looked like an insulin pump.

And you can't call yourself a proper true tech hoarder if there isn't at least one SGI or Sun box in your collection

Hi, does anybody know the model of the motherboard in the thumbnail and at 12:30 in the video? I'm looking for it's manual and I can't find anything online because there aren't any markings or stickers on the one in my possession.

Why wouldn't you just istall dosbox or run a VM?

[Jeron202020]

Question. 

Is there anyone who still have old 

ISA Card RS422 Serial 

Whit address selection. 

Like this?

And is there someone who can help me with old Dos 

[Dalamar911]

Is he selling that case i found one at the second to the last on the left at 15:53 that i was interested in, if he's willing to sell it, could he tell me how much for the case. I've been looking for a vintage desktop case that's not too thin or small form factor for a sleeper m-itx build or micro atx build. Not interested in the components that's in the case just the case. and if its a key access case maybe the key as well.

[fatalberba]

I would love to get my hands on a 5.25 floppy drive. Step father has several hundred 5inch floppies that all say nothing but IBM confidential on them from the late 70s to early 80s and I'd love to know what on earth is on them.

Its a wireless mic like this one

[BrianTheElectrician]

Haha I'm glad (mostly) everyone like the video. Was a lot of fun to do and is what I was alluding to in my post in the show off your vintage hardware thread. As for selling, not really interested in shipping anything but would consider for a local sale so if your in the greater Vancouver area, shoot me a pm! Same goes for the minecraft server, its whitelist only but may be willing to let a few in

[idmb]

You made fun of that old monitor, but in my lab at UBC I have a machine with an i7-8700 with only a pair of Acer AL1511s running 1024x768. Because that's all you need! 

[NumLock21]

Man, the majority of what Brian had are the stuffs I've encounter, when I was learning about PCs. like the CPU with the built in fan on it. I believe that was a Pentium Overdrive (I still have that). Those AT boards using socket 7 are compatible with both AMD and Intel CPUs. 2 things about them AT PSU was, the board's main power  was split into 2 pieces, and the power wires were physically connected to the power switch in the front of the case.

Although not shown, old ATX cases, the bottom front of the case, was to house a internal speaker or a fan. The fan bracket has rails, so long cards won't sag.

ISA cards like that sound card, back then Windows isn't good at handling interrupt request or IRQs, so when there is a hardware conflict between 2 devices, you'll have to manually set the IRQs in the card itself to fix that IRQ conflict. I believe sound card was IRQ5.

Them Asus EeePC came later, their older one were called Pundits.

If it helps, mine has a stickers on the back. One says "Microedge" with a barcode and the other "PM8G7" so I'm assuming that would be the model number. There isn't a make or model number on the pcb that I can see but there is a V1.6b in the top left corner which would be the revision. Mine does however have the jumper settings silk screened onto the board, so can take a close up picture if that helps.

[amdorintel]

the hoarder has a problem, its a mental problem, like every other hoarder there is, can just hope its not putting his safety or anyone elses safety at risk and would probably do neighbors good to inform the fire department as even the neighbors maybe at risk. an intervention would be necessary and the threat of losing his residence might persuade the person to clean up and sell a lot of his "junk" but selling maybe too time consuming so an alternative is to sell to an electronics recycler for scrap $.

[caincha]

LOVED this video!!  

And Brian is THE MAN really liked all the videos he was in. 

Now go on and bring LGR to check Brian's collection they'll have a blast

Is this the map Linus was talking about for Supreme Commander?

 

If so, it's available along with thousands of others on the FAF client.

Thank you so much! These are the only information I have found since I have this motherboard. I needed the manual for the jumper settings. The silkscreen got somehow rubbed off before I got it. Pictures would help very much because several google searches came out dry.
