[smolbeanmachine]

so I need to make a video? I hate my voice in my microphone 

[sceypt]

@smolbeanmachine You dont need to use your mic. Could just use epic songs such but not limited to Drowning Pool - Let The Bodies Hit The Floor, smash mouth -  All Star. You're welcome for the advice  make sure to have your specs though.

My old HP laptop from 2013.  The exterior's worn, the fan's grinding, and the GPU stopped working in 2015.

I've been wanting to build a new PC for a while, but minimum wage sucks.  Most games just crash outright on it.  League of legends runs 25-30 fps on low settings,  CS:GO gets anywhere from 15-40 fps depending on the map, and playing overwatch on the lowest settings at 1366 x 768 is just disgusting.

It's got an i7-4700MQ, 8gb of DDR3 1600Mhz RAM, an Nvidia gpu that no longer works, a fan that grinds and fails to cool, and corrosion where you put your hands, and a failing keyboard.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "gaming" rig, but i do have an old namco plug and play that fulfills the "gaming" requirement.

 

P.S.  Please excuse my ugly face.

My approach was to remake the original commercial of my imac g3 graphite, i mean this one:

This is my entry:

I do not have bench marks but i have a photo of the cpu usage while playing nes which i think explains everything

There is more to the story than i could said in the video, Im an engineering student at Mexico city,but my family live in another state (about 2 and a half hours away), so every  weekend i go visit them. One day, i was on my way to the bus terminal, so i took a bus to get there, and i happened to notice through the window a sage imac g3 on a "yard sale". But i didnt got off the bus inmediately, i was runninng late so...
Then, a couple meters down the road the bus i was in broke down and everybody got off, thats when i realized i could go take a peak a that computer, 10 minutes later i bought it for about 10 US dollars (200 mexican pesos). It was hard to move around with it, beacuse it is so heavy, but i finally made it to the terminal and my family was perplexed when they saw me with such a big thing.

The graphite one came when i started to look into overclocking the sage one,long story short, i got it in exchange of my old smartphone, the one you see in the video is a franken-computer with parts of the two.

 

The games in the video are: "Slippy" and "Out of this world".
And also, my heart broke a little when Linus kicked that imac

Spoiler

If you have one as well and want to overclock it, here is the tutorial:

Be advised, smd resistors are hard to work with, and you can accidentally rip the soldering pads, but you can just make the connections without any resistor, and it'll work fine.

Heya! I wanted to join this competition, however, I have a fairly competent rig.

I had a dilemma, but I then realized I could add something this competition was missing: spicy memes! (and dabz on the haterz)

Here's my video submission:

Featured 'rig': http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/2370929

Editing rig:

Case: Rosewill Gram

PSU: EVGA 600w White

Cpu: i3 7350k

Cpu cooler: NZXT Kraken x52

Memory: 2x8gb 3000ghz Corsair white LED

GPU: Gigabyte G1 Gaming gtx 1070

SSD: Crucial BX100

HDD: WD Blue 1tb (2012)

That's basically it.

Here's the actual benchmark for it: http://www.userbenchmark.com/UserRun/4638802

I just wanted to join the fun and hopefully make some other contestants laugh.

 

Good luck fellow competitors!

Stay spicy!

Sorry in advance for stealing the LTT intro, as well as making fun of Linus's sandal socks. 

 

My name is Kris and I am from Vancouver Washington. I am a co-founder of a small gaming community called Dweebfire Gaming Community. We have been playing games together since 1999. My PC is to the point where I can no longer keep up with the games that they want to play. Pretty much stuck at Rocket League and CS 1.6. My wife has cancer and we're buried in medical bills so I cannot afford to upgrade it right now. PC gaming is our release from everyday life. My wife likes Diablo and MOBAs and I like Rocket League and FPS. I build this computer myself back in 2010 and have upgraded a few pieces since then over the years. The GPU, the PSU, and the case. 

 

My PC Specs are as follows:

AMD Phenom 9950 Black Edition at 2.6 GHz

Gigabyte GA-MA770-UD3 mainboard

8 Gigs of OCZ DDR2 @ 1066 MHz

Nvidia GeForce GTX 460 1GB

OCZ 700 watt Power Supply

Xclio A380 full size case

Fully functioning x16 DVD R/W optical drive

 

My peripherals are:

Cooler Master Devastator II keyboard and mouse combo 

HannSpree 21' monitor

 

Good Luck to all entries! And thank you Linus Tech Tips for the opportunity!  Sock On.... I mean... Rock On!

Hey there :-) 

With your help we can maybe join the Republic of Gamers! 
That Republic sounds like a safe place away from any possible nuke attacks :-)

 

And maybe, my friends and me can finally enjoy Rocket League with more than 15 fps! :-)

DFTBA

P,S, sometimes an issue: "A SOLAR keyboard in the BASEMENT.... B R A V O...Bravo me..."

My boy was super excited to enter.  We shot some videos where he went on for over 5 minutes, so I admittedly coached him a bit to get him down to a reasonable time.

 

Here's his entry for #ROGRigReboot

[Creeper_Killer12]

these videos are pretty good.

That is a good pc @DragoNate  I would be happy with tha

[coomansingh86]

I can't really make the video that you want me to make but the reason I need a new custom PC is because like you I have a YouTube channel, I actually have two YouTube channels one for technology and one for gaming and I can't do the videos that I want to do due to the fact that I have a really bad PC and half the time I can't even edit my videos without there being audio lag. In addition I can't even game on the PC. The PC is sporting a AMD Athlon II X240 Processor at 2.80Ghz and whenever I'm just normally using my PC without doing anything heavy on the computer like just using the internet to do research on something the processor will start running on the max load which is 2.80 Ghz then the computer starts lagging and that's why I need a new pc.
