LGR - NewQ Gold Graphic Equalizer for PCs (Patreon)

Of all the frivolous add-ons and upgrades I've installed into my PCs over the years, from audio input panels to RGB lighting, I've never actually had anything like this. This nifty little thing from 1999 sports a color VFD with a spectrum analyzer and, while catching the eye of certain PC builders, didn't last too long on the market. But I was finally able to track one down and get it imported from Japan. Enjoy!

Never heard of this thing before, ever

You didn't say "lets put on a tray"

Making coffee, step one: Order a vintage piece of computer hardware from Japan.

I'll have to watch later, but that thing just reminds me of the increasingly ridiculous car stereo scene of the late 90s, which culminated in single DIN stereos having multicolord "screen savers."

Crutchfield and Computer Shopper were engines of discontent and spendiness in the days before the Internet was everything.

Who knew one could find brand new 2018 US MRE coffee in a decades-old piece of tech from Japan ;)

I love a good excuse installing LED 5.25 Inch drives... Please just make my whole front panel LED light show! :P and are you lactose intolerant? or do you like coffee with water? I much prefer milk creamy goodness

OMG I completely lost it like 2 seconds into the Steve1989MREInfo bit once I realized what was going on

Love this thing. What would be even more awesome would be a tiny oscilloscope in this form factor, something along the lines of a Pioneer SD-1000.

Try sticking it in like an old IBM PC or something, connected to an AdLib or whatever :)

I still have one of these around somewhere. Looked super cool at the time but made everything sound distorted if it was not running in its pass though mode. Got it at CompUSA around 2003ish on the clearance rack for about $35.

Would be cool to see if I could get something like this but newer to put in the 2008 HP tower I use for my balls to the walls XP build.

Yeah on higher volumes I was definitely getting a little bit of distortion, had to crank things down a good bit. Could also be due to the way it handles "low" and "high" inputs and the sound card one has.

Sure would! Oh man, I'll definitely have to stick this in my XP build when I get around to that

Waaait, it came with a tiny bag full of coffee and such..? :'D Edit: I should read more comments oops lol

I miss the time when new hardware came with complimentary coffee and snacks.

Oh my gosh I must know more about your kettle with the hilariously long and thin spout! Great video as always, of course. :)

Imagine if NewQ were still around today. Preheated gamer seats. Auto start your computer as you get home. Spoiler fins for your heatsinks. Maybe even spinning rims for your M3 nuts. The possibilities are endless.

Æsthetically, this would work pretty well in your Woodgrain 486 PC. - On a personal note, I'm going to search for this one myself.

My old Samsung CRT television had a very similar surround mode in it. For certain games/shows it really sort of expanded the sound of everything, making things seem more centered or more to the sides, but it didn't work well for everything... in fact, most things didn't sound much better or worse, so I just left it off most of the time. :P

I dream of a crossover episode where Steve un-boxes some random oddware and you review an MRE but first you need to get a tray!

I lost it when the Win 98 startup sound came blasting out: "OK!"

dude I have been watching MRE reviews a lot recently and seriously had a wtf moment.

I wasnt sure about the paint job on the Windows 98 capture PC but after seeing the close up in the thumb nail it properly screams 90's

Oh DAMN it's been a long time since I saw one of these. I used to work at SRS Labs haha

And by the by, if you'd like to know details about TruSurround and etc, let me know. I was going to do a long form comment here, but I figured it was more polite to ask first.

I had this on in the background while making dinner and I heard you start talking about non-dairy creamer. Haha! Definitely made me do a double take.

The Steve1989 MRE reference lol.

Late 90s computer accessories from lesser known Korean makers were very interesting. They filled a lot of niches, mostly those that didn't really need filling. But then again, the world is always a more interesting place when people are out there doing things that don't "make sense" to the big guys like Samsung. And those same mid-tier / niche Korean electronics firms gave the world some of the best little MP3 players on the market before Apple squashed them all like bugs. :)

Oh man... I didn't have a EQ back then, but had I know they existed I probably would have got one, but I did stack up the front of my case with everything I could find, so I'd have a CD drive, a DVD drive, a floppy, the Sound Blaster front plate and then a double din fan control center with a bunch of lights in it so I could put my system into game mode at the touch of a button - and touching that button, which would max out all my crappy 90s and very early 2000 fans, would make it sound like I was using a leaf blower.

*Takes CD out of sleeve* "Alright, let's get this out onto a tray... Nice! mmkay!"

Love it. I bought some old russian VFDs recently. That is a very nice EQ!

I had the silver Pro model growing up. ARGH! SO MANY MEMORIES! I loved mine and it was the crown jewel of my build haha

Same here. Honestly, the physical volume control and graphic equalizer was all I really wanted. The TruSurround was always iffy and didn't want to chance any compatibility issues and always left it off, save for some fiddling when listening to music!

Your Nice almost sounds exactly like Steve!
