Behind the scenes: The TrashLab PC is nearly done! (Patreon)
Content
Hello my patrons! Another update video on the TrashLab PC.
I actually didn't talk about why I call it this machine the TrashLab. It all goes back to the fact the first basement PC was one I found in the garbage at my old office downtown! It was an AMD Athlon X4 or X6 -- and while it was old, it actually completely worked perfectly! If you can believe it, this Windows 10 install I'm using dates all the way back to that PC. It had Windows 7 on it, so I just started fresh on a 120gb SSD which is still what this machine rocks today.
This is now the 4th iteration of this machine -- now a Ryzen 5600G + 16gb 3000Mhz DDR4 but the same install. I have too many old drivers and things setup on here to want to install everything from scratch, but I did just finally convert it to UEFI (using MBR2GPT /CONVERT) and am using TPM 2.0 + Bitlocker. (I did now know you could NOT use MBR drives with Bitlocker on TPM 2.0!)
Anyway at this point, all I need to do is buy a few more cables and then do some cable management but I am finally up and running with my quad HDMI capture card so live streams are actually possible now! I just need to work out the logistics and how it'll go.
Thanks for all your support!
