Just thought I'd pop over here and say hi for the first time. Hi. Only stumbled upon an LTT video a few months ago by accident (Linus wears a lab coat in Ultimate OVERKILL w/c PC) when I was doing a bit of research on buying an older GPU (Vapor-X 7950 to be exact) and because of the build video, I reckon I've watched about 20 hours worth in the last few weeks, so, as a result of my eyes burning eyes, I've decided to join the forum.

 

Here's a pic of my budget 2nd hand build (apart form the GPU, everything else is pre-owned. Any questions about it, feel free to ask .

 

Edit: Upgraded my AIO & GPU in the last few weeks and decided to update my pics accoringly. Have purchased a B grade 8Gb RX480 Nitro+ OC (1400/2100) for a not too shabby £190 and a Corsair H105. Looks and goes a bit better. 

 

Before and after pics....

Hello there.

I've been an LTT subscriber on YT for a long time now. I just saw Scrapyard Wars and I was like: "yup, gotta register at that website, this is freakin' awesome!"

To be honest, I may not exactly fit the theme here since a lot of the LTT videos are about new and shiny stuff and I deal mostly with old junk people were just about to throw into the trash can but I was there to say: "No, no, no, wait! I can build a retro PC out of that!"

Still, I hope that I will feel at home here with my fellow tech geeks and nerds :)

Fair warning: Just because LTT is a good community doesn't mean you won't come across morons every once and a while. :D

Created an account a while ago but I'm going to try become a bit more active. It's a nice change of pace compared to the /r/pcmr sub.

I just joined the forum, that Catchpa makes it quite difficult to register. 

It is highly debatable what is a river and what is a sea, what is a mountain and what is a tiny hill. Not to mention the crappy quality of the images. Also it sucks that you have to allow some Javascripts from Google, but you can't tell because they don't call the script Catchpa, it took me a while to figure out that I couldn't get past the Catchpa wall because of the blocked script (NoScript, it helps a lot to keep viruses off my computer). I can understand the usage of a text based system ("what is fourteen minus three?") but that Catchpa garbage sucks.

Hi hi. Only joined recently but have lurked for a long time. Why join? I had new little project coming up and wanted to ask questions. 

I've dealt with computers I guess. I like taking old PCs apart and slowly upgrading my main rig. It's fun to tinker. It's not fun to tinker blindly and break components. 

Also like upgrading old PCs with newer components to see if you can run modern games on them. Part of project. Hope it works... Also hope nothing gets broken...

Thanks so much for joining. My vision is a community based on positive member interaction and helping each other. I believe that if we all work together toward this goal, we will have success in the long run.

We don't have official forum rules or anything like that yet, but as long as everyone is respectful of each other, and patient with the growing pains that we are going to experience (vBulletin 5 is VERY beta right now) we can make this into an AWESOME community forum.

Linus

Been loving the channels, keep up the great work
