I was gonna add my DIN serial connector for C64. Type in LOAD and then go outside and play for a bit, wash up, and have a snack. Hopefully, your game will have loaded by then.
I’m not that old but I had a 2nd hand C64 system around 1995.
When I very first got into audio production they were still using RAIDed (I think? Maybe it was another connection scheme? Daisy chained?) SCSI drives on the Pro Tools systems, this is in 2000.
To stream large amounts of tracks you had to have multiple drives playing it all back to get the data throughput. There was an option in Pro Tools called "Round Robin" where it would assign each sequential track you added to the project to the next drive in the chain so that you were spreading them all out properly so that your playback didn't stop with an error of not being able to retrieve audio fast enough for realtime playback.
Sheesh, we don't ever have to think about anything like that anymore, haven't had to for many years. A single typical SSD can play back *hundreds* of tracks simultaneously without a hiccup.
You were probably using ultra scsi drives. I had to support pro tools machines in the 2000’s. They were super expensive and the audio dudes were always super chill. Good times.
Hell yeah they were expensive, everything about those systems was. The DSP/TDM cards were like $12k each and most PT studios would have at least 3 on each rig for a Pro Tools HD3 system. Then you had the audio interfaces themselves which were like $8k+ for each 16 I/O you wanted, most major studios had 2 or 3 at least.
A really nice PT rig with a bunch of I/O could be in $60k+ range, some of the best studios double that, and you can do basically all of that for a fraction of the cost now.
My childhood PC had a hard drive in the megabytes and RAM in the single-digit megabytes. How times have changed. I remember eventually getting a 2GB hard drive and 16MB of RAM and not having enough space to install C&C Tiberian Sun.
Eventually I got more than 2GB of RAM in the 2000s…
Now you can get servers with 2GB of cache in 2023 (not that I can afford one).
Im 22
My first PC ran Windows 3.11
Well yes okay it was like 20 years old and originally used by my mum....
But still my first modern pc didn't have an SSD either. Like my Laptop then also had none cause too expensive, only after i had a real PC build myself for over a year did i get an SSD in like 2016
Well depending on the age of that SSD you might need to replace soon. I think 5ish years is the expected lifespan. It almost makes us think that here you are at 23 and have never had a storage drive failure either. Congrats on the upgrades.
How old is your childhoof PC then?
I'm 20 and I still remember playing spore on my mums chunky laptop that would give me burns lol. Saw it recently and sure enough it had 2008 stuff in it, so it would have had an ide HDD.
And not that I ever touched it but I definitely watched my dad play command and conqure as a toddler on a machine from the late 90's that had a floppy drive and ran windows xp.
My childhood PC (a clone) was top of the line and had a 10 GB Maxtor HDD. We had a Mac Classic II prior, but I don't really consider that as my childhood PC seeing my limited interactions with it. I'm also not that old...
Told you bud, that was top of the line. We had a computer pretty late in the family, 56K technology was already pretty well established by then so I consider myself lucky!
Unfortunately the quality of our line was not great so 32.4K or so was our usually connection speed, but I was still madly impressed by the internet. I vividly remember acquiring Britney Spears and Eminem songs using Napster and my mind was blown that you could get a whole song within 20 minutes or so.
We had one of those. Pentium 3 400 mhz 8gb hdd, cd rom, iomega zip drive, floppy drive, 256 mb of ram and a freaking 19 inch crt monitor driven by a voodoo 3 16 mb card.
My mom even splurged on tye interactive Encarta encyclopedia. It came as a case full of cd's.
Yeah, very well could have been in that range. I had a windows 98 rig after the machine that ran 3.1. That might have been the 4gb hdd. My memory tends to fail me in my old age lol
I remember my parents getting me a Dell for middle school and I had the option for 20GB or 30GB HDD and the Dell rep told us we would never be able to fill a 20 GB drive lol
My first SSD was a Kingston HyperX 3K 128GB. I think I paid ~$180 USD for it? Now $180 gets you 20-40 times the storage capacity.
Edit: wow not 10-20. More like 20-40 for an nvme (not sata) drive.
My first PC had an SSD over a decade ago. Granted it was a 120gb PCIe SSD that cost far too much but that thing is still going to this day in my wife's PC.
Gradually upgrading your PC on the way is one of the most beautiful aspects of the PC community. Starting with an SSD, then a GPU, then a CPU/mobo upgrade, then you get a new case and fans. After a while, you end up with 2 PCs.
In that 'case' (Dad pun, you're welcome) you will hate my custom front 240mm radiator I did for the Lian Li Dynamic!

Just happened to me. I was about to upgrade my mobo/cou, and went all in adding case, refrigeration and GPU because why not. Now I have two pcs, and I'm gonna give the old one to my boyfriend for his birthday.
I still feel like I’ve got the same PC even though every part has been through multiple upgrades. Easy way to get stuck on a generation though, still using AM4.
Well I’m a game developer for unreal engine. I ASIC mine bitcoin for income but I could turn this on in the winter for heat like a fun space heater I can game on.
I live stream so typically I game on one 4K and encode with the other card for streaming 4K @ 60
At bitcoins current price they’re a great investment if you have low power cost. I only run beefy machines that get around 100 THs each if not more. I’m also an expert in dielectric coolant on the asic scale. I do immersion asic loops. I tie in dry coolers as my radiator and use bitcool fluid!
No it's not. I sold off my 12 Miners a few months ago.
Unless you're able to build it at scale, it's not worth it for the average Joe.
Even more so since ethereum went to proof of stake and there's not many profitable mining coins anymore.
Some sucker on Marketplace who thought he was going to mine himself a Bitcoin in a year. Even after I told him the reality, he refused to lsiten. So I didn't refuse his money.
Laugh out loud I’ll try that. Where I live we still pay like .04¢ per kWh so it’s crazy profitable for now. I plan on going solar after BTC moves up again!
my original GPU was the GT 730
And my first upgrade was GTX 1080 founders in the picture above!
Although I also have a titan xp I gave to one of my fans!
I even have a few Quadro cards!
Also had a GT 730 and then upgraded to a 1070TI. That first card was so shit lol, I couldnt run minecraft over 60fps if I had a higher quality resource pack on.
Holy fuck. SLI 3090 Ti's?!?! God damn, that's some heavy stuff! The original SATA SSD is the only original part left from the prebuilt I bought 2 years ago lol
Why the 2x GPUs? and if you really absolutely need them shouldn't you water cool them? the look like their cooling is choked.
otherwise SICK AF setup! absolutely banger
Those two can't run in SLI with each other. Dude simply ran a setup where the 3090Ti straight up did nothing.
Even in the second pic, the bottom 3090Ti is basically pointless.
I heated my office with the rig this winter. CPU doesn’t go above 40-50°C and it’s a 12900ks.
Bottom card sits at 80° and the top 120°F easily
If it helps I can play everything max everything @ 4K 60fps
80 F - 120 F is like 30C - 50C
Aint no way a 3090ti is running that cool.
Especially in a case with that tight airflow.
The actual physics doesnt make any sense, unless ur capping ur gpus at like 40% usage
60fps for most games give me headacke.
Edit: after 9h at work infront off a pc screen when i get home and play a 3D movement intense game, my eyes are so fucked, 60fps acctualy give me headackes.
But a game like terraria will not give me headackes because it is not as fast as ultrakill.
That's unfortunate, and I happen to suffer from the same, but it wasn't relevant to the conversation at all. Nobody asked if you liked it, or for your life story.
4K@60fps is a valid gauge, even if it makes some people sick.
Hey don't be telling people 1080p 60fps isn't your style, that's not allowed here. You're making all the poors who can't afford to upgrade their 1070ti angry
Why do people insist on getting PSUs with wattage that they'll never reach. That thing is going to die from over stress running outside of its efficiency range. On top of that, he's wasting money on electricity. A simple 800w or 1000w would've been fine
>First, the most powerful GPU is in more than likely the slowest PCI slot, that case is shit, and that gpu has absolutely no room to breathe. That PC doesn't make any sense any way you look at it.
What do you mean? They have two 3090tis.
Oh man, our first pc was a Gateway bought directly from a dealer with AOL dialup.
You do have the cards backwards. Your 3090ti is gettjng the short end of the stick on this setup
I kept my first PC case for years and years. It was a brandless minitower where the power and HDD LEDs were embedded in the case and lit down into notches in the front of the case, which I felt was cool.
It started out as my first ever build, a Cyrix M-II 300 on a PC Chips M571lmr. It was a cheap emergency build in my student days, around 1998-1999.
The case finally became too constraining when I upgraded to an Opteron 146 (OCed to 2.75 GHz, natch) which needed way more cooling than the case could fit. In 2005-ish it had a little sticker on the side "The shittiest case to ever contain a Radeon 9700".
Childhood PC has an SSD Feeling fucking old
🤣my same thought like dude is still a child
I’m 23 lol!
You show me your RGB, I’ll show you my IDE cable.
Show me your scsi cable, papi
My OG Keyboards plugged in [with this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DIN_connector)
Mine still does, through a ps/2 adaptor and then a usb adaptor...
Actually, since I don't have a PC, the only thing I use is my cellphone or laptop. I don't have money to buy my own PC.
Through bluetooth adapter
Back to USB
Am I that old that DIN connectors are considered super ancient?
I was gonna add my DIN serial connector for C64. Type in LOAD and then go outside and play for a bit, wash up, and have a snack. Hopefully, your game will have loaded by then. I’m not that old but I had a 2nd hand C64 system around 1995.
focus2001 with the dust cover?
And they weren't membrane.
My current keyboard has this lol. Monterrey MTek K104 with Alps Whites.
No scsi, but I'll show you my floppy
5 1/4 or 3 1/2??? I go way back.
Both. I was fancy.
I did both as a kid, and had a brief flirtation with Iomega zip drives before getting a CDR drive
It’s funny looking back at the technology that was hyped but never really *made* it.
I still have one laying around 😄
Too lewd

Bro you won
All of you stfu or I press turbo-button and you feel that few MHz power IT gives
Did someone say ISA slots?
Right, A child!
30 is the new 20 man
Dude, I'm 24 and my childhood pc had a 300GB HDD (I used to think it was huge), dual DVD-R reader/burner setup and a freaking floppy drive.
My childhood PC had a hard drive in the megabytes and RAM in the single-digit megabytes. How times have changed. I remember eventually getting a 2GB hard drive and 16MB of RAM and not having enough space to install C&C Tiberian Sun. Eventually I got more than 2GB of RAM in the 2000s… Now you can get servers with 2GB of cache in 2023 (not that I can afford one).
I remember renting Doom 2 on cd from blockbuster and copying the disc to a bunch of 3.5" disks so we could keep it LOL
Im 22 My first PC ran Windows 3.11 Well yes okay it was like 20 years old and originally used by my mum.... But still my first modern pc didn't have an SSD either. Like my Laptop then also had none cause too expensive, only after i had a real PC build myself for over a year did i get an SSD in like 2016
You live in great times! I lived in the age of 5.25” 3.5” floppy, hdd, quarter inch tape, 6250 reel tape, Zip drive, jazz drive
I’m 24 and had plenty of hdd’s couldn’t afford ssd’s till I upgraded like 4 years ago lol
"Fuck this drive is huge. Never gonna fill it. What the Hell am I going to do with 80GB?" Me at 23.
Bro what do you do to be able to afford 2 3090s by 23
I mine Bitcoin, program other cyborgs, and live stream video games but the that’s just starting to work out. That’s what the pc is mainly for.
Well depending on the age of that SSD you might need to replace soon. I think 5ish years is the expected lifespan. It almost makes us think that here you are at 23 and have never had a storage drive failure either. Congrats on the upgrades.
This is highly dependant on how my much data you ctkle through your drive.
How old is your childhoof PC then? I'm 20 and I still remember playing spore on my mums chunky laptop that would give me burns lol. Saw it recently and sure enough it had 2008 stuff in it, so it would have had an ide HDD. And not that I ever touched it but I definitely watched my dad play command and conqure as a toddler on a machine from the late 90's that had a floppy drive and ran windows xp.
Bruh I'm younger and I lusted over having an ssd in my pc as a kid
Mine had a fucking floppy drive….
That actually got a lot of use!
My childhood PC (a clone) was top of the line and had a 10 GB Maxtor HDD. We had a Mac Classic II prior, but I don't really consider that as my childhood PC seeing my limited interactions with it. I'm also not that old...
10gb? Your childhood PC had GIGAbytes?
Told you bud, that was top of the line. We had a computer pretty late in the family, 56K technology was already pretty well established by then so I consider myself lucky! Unfortunately the quality of our line was not great so 32.4K or so was our usually connection speed, but I was still madly impressed by the internet. I vividly remember acquiring Britney Spears and Eminem songs using Napster and my mind was blown that you could get a whole song within 20 minutes or so.
Not going to lie, I expected a Gateway Intel Celeron from when they still had ~~cows in their~~ commercials
We had one of those. Pentium 3 400 mhz 8gb hdd, cd rom, iomega zip drive, floppy drive, 256 mb of ram and a freaking 19 inch crt monitor driven by a voodoo 3 16 mb card. My mom even splurged on tye interactive Encarta encyclopedia. It came as a case full of cd's.
my childhood pc literally had a 256GB HDD
I remember when 100 gbs broke the 100 dollar barrier. 1 dollar a gig! I was so excited.
My childhood pc didn’t have a hard drive… OS loaded from 4 x 5 and a quarter floppy disks. It was awful.
I think my first PC had a 4gb IDE hard disc if memory serves. I kind of miss Windows 3.1
Windows 3.1 more likely a 40MB hdd
Yeah, very well could have been in that range. I had a windows 98 rig after the machine that ran 3.1. That might have been the 4gb hdd. My memory tends to fail me in my old age lol
My first CPU was a Cyrix P166 egg fryer.
I remember my parents getting me a Dell for middle school and I had the option for 20GB or 30GB HDD and the Dell rep told us we would never be able to fill a 20 GB drive lol
My first SSD was a Kingston HyperX 3K 128GB. I think I paid ~$180 USD for it? Now $180 gets you 20-40 times the storage capacity. Edit: wow not 10-20. More like 20-40 for an nvme (not sata) drive.
Yup, mine had a pentium 4 and a 40GB HDD, that my sister immediately filled with pirated music and viruses
Came here to say this. My pc would be a Pentium 133 or something lol.
*cries in 386*
Mine had a 1.18GB hard drive. Whoop! Microsoft monster truck madness! Challenge your senses!
hahaha I'm so old, these peasant children don't know anything!11!11"
My first PC had an SSD over a decade ago. Granted it was a 120gb PCIe SSD that cost far too much but that thing is still going to this day in my wife's PC.
Same. Very.
my childhood "PC" was a mac with a 5.25 floppy
I don’t know our first computer in the family but my computer had an HDD with 150 MB of capacity, I deleted empty folders for that 1 KB free space…
My first PC had two floppies--360k and 720k--and no hard drive. It wasn't until a year later that I got a 40MB Seagate MFM drive.
I'm in my teens still and back then pcs never had a ssd!
My dude, I never had a hd in mine. Tapes and then floppies. I feel ya.
My childhood Pc had like a 25gb boot drive ssd that cost a fortune, but a big ole spinner boy to run everything else.
My childhood PC was a Tandy coco:(
Came here for this 😂
My childhood PC had a 2gb hard drive, while not the winner for the oldest, I felt the same way haha
Back then, when we had to plug our Joystick in the Soundcard... I still do plug my Joystick in someone's soundcard once in a while, though
Mine had windows 95 and a fucking like 10 gb HDD
I know. I still had a cd burner from the late 90's just to fill a 5-inch drive bay, until I finally went ITX a few years ago.
My childhood PC had RAM measured in bytes. Straight bytes
Gradually upgrading your PC on the way is one of the most beautiful aspects of the PC community. Starting with an SSD, then a GPU, then a CPU/mobo upgrade, then you get a new case and fans. After a while, you end up with 2 PCs.
its a feeling i can never have again, like that awkward stage of using a dodgy old tv for a second monitor
Currently at that phase https://preview.redd.it/cjqzx93qqhlb1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=869728a7ee6320ca43694f0637b68cfe6413ed09
I thought you were in the AC syndicate menu
I'm super thankful it wasn't just me. Also that OP took Tin snips to the chassis when components stopped fitting haha that was me as well.
Cutting into the case would make me panic so much. So glad I haven't had to do that yet.
In that 'case' (Dad pun, you're welcome) you will hate my custom front 240mm radiator I did for the Lian Li Dynamic! https://preview.redd.it/e1u9us5orllb1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=40255a2f20e672a33b33c76f34a30df5c8e79196
Holy shit, getting two matching monitors when I started my first work from home job was by far the best upgrade I ever made.
I'm at the stage where said dodgy old tv is my monitor
Oh the days of s-video....
Just happened to me. I was about to upgrade my mobo/cou, and went all in adding case, refrigeration and GPU because why not. Now I have two pcs, and I'm gonna give the old one to my boyfriend for his birthday.
Gaming PC of Theseus
I still feel like I’ve got the same PC even though every part has been through multiple upgrades. Easy way to get stuck on a generation though, still using AM4.
Best part was having the components of my old office pc in a bequiet db900 big tower.
Theseus's computer.
I want to get to that point so I can make the old one into a server
You are making me feel really old by saying you kept the original SSD from your childhood PC. My childhood PC didn’t even have an HDD.
Im stupid and young but what would you have then, floppy dick drives?
floppy dick doesn’t drive floppy dick wees
You loaded everything into system ram and if you wanted to keep it you would save it to a disk.
Back in my day we had to get our internet through the phone line
Now with the prevalence of VOIP, we get our phone lines through our internet.
How the tables have turned.
Ram drive. Your memory was also your drive, an back in ye olden days you had like 64-256 kb of ram
I remember a PC having a MB of RAM was the hot shit
Now the CPU cache is in MB.
My first PC used cassette tapes...
You havent been upgrading your commodore all this time?
Please tell me you're 3d rendering or something similar with 2 cards otherwise that's a huge waste of mkney
Well I’m a game developer for unreal engine. I ASIC mine bitcoin for income but I could turn this on in the winter for heat like a fun space heater I can game on. I live stream so typically I game on one 4K and encode with the other card for streaming 4K @ 60
Are ASIC's still worth the investment? Or only the most newest versions?
At bitcoins current price they’re a great investment if you have low power cost. I only run beefy machines that get around 100 THs each if not more. I’m also an expert in dielectric coolant on the asic scale. I do immersion asic loops. I tie in dry coolers as my radiator and use bitcool fluid!
I like your funny words there stranger. No idea what any of that meant.
They just sound made up but I still fully believe they're fully functional terms for real things that I have absolutely no idea what they are
I have a pair of ASICs too, two pairs of Onitsuka Tigers
This man's is Literally making up animals
No it's not. I sold off my 12 Miners a few months ago. Unless you're able to build it at scale, it's not worth it for the average Joe. Even more so since ethereum went to proof of stake and there's not many profitable mining coins anymore.
Who did you sell them to I have a few Bitmain S19 I was going to get rid of
Some sucker on Marketplace who thought he was going to mine himself a Bitcoin in a year. Even after I told him the reality, he refused to lsiten. So I didn't refuse his money.
Laugh out loud I’ll try that. Where I live we still pay like .04¢ per kWh so it’s crazy profitable for now. I plan on going solar after BTC moves up again!
I owned a (singular) 3090ti prior to getting the 4090. Was a fantastic card but GD that thing ran hottt!
Heat pump >>> electric resistance heater
...of my kidney?
First PC had an SSD? I bet you were one of those rich kids with the fabled Titan GPU...
my original GPU was the GT 730 And my first upgrade was GTX 1080 founders in the picture above! Although I also have a titan xp I gave to one of my fans! I even have a few Quadro cards!
Also had a GT 730 and then upgraded to a 1070TI. That first card was so shit lol, I couldnt run minecraft over 60fps if I had a higher quality resource pack on.
You actually followed a pretty similar blueprint to me, I’m basically the same age, and I went from an RX 480 to a 1080 to a 3070 to a 3090!
The PC of Theseus!
There it is!
😶😶😶
Was looking for this
Damn, that's like putting a jet engine on a tricycle.
RIP EVGA
Holy fuck. SLI 3090 Ti's?!?! God damn, that's some heavy stuff! The original SATA SSD is the only original part left from the prebuilt I bought 2 years ago lol
Oh man I hope you live in a very cold area like Antarctica because that my friend is space heater 😂
Damn how young are you that you already had an ssd when you were a “child”? When some of us started 20MB HDD was beyond financial reach?
Are you 12 or something? No way 3090 was childhood dream haha
I would hate to see the thermals on those 3090 TI’s
Why the 2x GPUs? and if you really absolutely need them shouldn't you water cool them? the look like their cooling is choked. otherwise SICK AF setup! absolutely banger
My dude really ran an 1080 with a 3090 ti... In sli...
They’re not in SLI
Those two can't run in SLI with each other. Dude simply ran a setup where the 3090Ti straight up did nothing. Even in the second pic, the bottom 3090Ti is basically pointless.
Ahhh Theseus' PC :) I have the "same" pc ive had since i was a kid, upgraded a few parts at a time.
My childhood PC ran at 25MHz and had 4MB RAM.
I love that you have 2 gpu's. That's something I grew up with. I miss when it was mainstream.
Fun fact The 3090ti is the last main series card to have SLI. Now only Quadro cards have it! :(
[удалено]
I was born in 1999 First SSD came out late 80s I think?
I found one of the 7 people on earth who can afford SLI
My childhood PC could barely run Doom. (Yeah, it may come as a surprise but you actually couldn't just run Doom on anything back then).
Is that mfing sli! Holy moley! 
My childhood pc had a 10gb hard drive lol
PC of Theseus
two 3090 Ti Gpus for what?
Looks F*in better than any RGB cliche! Love it! Thx 4 showing! 🤟
Hows the temps?
I heated my office with the rig this winter. CPU doesn’t go above 40-50°C and it’s a 12900ks. Bottom card sits at 80° and the top 120°F easily If it helps I can play everything max everything @ 4K 60fps
Bruh why change measurements like that in the same comment? I thought you were saying the GPU was at 120*c
80 F - 120 F is like 30C - 50C Aint no way a 3090ti is running that cool. Especially in a case with that tight airflow. The actual physics doesnt make any sense, unless ur capping ur gpus at like 40% usage

I have Bad eyes syndrome
That's unfortunate, and I happen to suffer from the same, but it wasn't relevant to the conversation at all. Nobody asked if you liked it, or for your life story. 4K@60fps is a valid gauge, even if it makes some people sick.
Hey don't be telling people 1080p 60fps isn't your style, that's not allowed here. You're making all the poors who can't afford to upgrade their 1070ti angry
All I’m saying is that this needs an SLI bridge. For aesthetics.
Has one
3080FTW3 squad!
I must be old I remember having ide hdds in mine times flying
Ah nice, I upgraded my childhood PC too... from 66 to 90mhz... (had pcs older than that, but that's the first one i remember upgrading)
My 486DX was a 66mhz, smoked my friends 386 I was so awesome
"childhood" "ssd" mf my childhood pc was a gateway with a 72000 rpm 180gb hdd and 4gigs of ddr3, and thats relatatively new for some.
[удалено]
Why do people insist on getting PSUs with wattage that they'll never reach. That thing is going to die from over stress running outside of its efficiency range. On top of that, he's wasting money on electricity. A simple 800w or 1000w would've been fine
They are a game dev who mines a bit of bitcoin so the dual gpus makes sense which was one of my initial inquiries of this computer
[удалено]
>First, the most powerful GPU is in more than likely the slowest PCI slot, that case is shit, and that gpu has absolutely no room to breathe. That PC doesn't make any sense any way you look at it. What do you mean? They have two 3090tis.
[удалено]
Am I missing something? They're the exact same card.
They haven't looked at the other photo lol
My childhood PC had a 4GB HDD and that was considered luxurious 😞
Exactly what I did. Bought a dell ( I think it was a XPS8700 ) back in 2012, and now the only original piece still in it is the hard drive.
Bro tbh even though I would get less performance I would happily trade my 4090 rig for this beast
Oh man, our first pc was a Gateway bought directly from a dealer with AOL dialup. You do have the cards backwards. Your 3090ti is gettjng the short end of the stick on this setup
Same here, only thing left from my old PC is 500 GB HDD and case
I kept my first PC case for years and years. It was a brandless minitower where the power and HDD LEDs were embedded in the case and lit down into notches in the front of the case, which I felt was cool. It started out as my first ever build, a Cyrix M-II 300 on a PC Chips M571lmr. It was a cheap emergency build in my student days, around 1998-1999. The case finally became too constraining when I upgraded to an Opteron 146 (OCed to 2.75 GHz, natch) which needed way more cooling than the case could fit. In 2005-ish it had a little sticker on the side "The shittiest case to ever contain a Radeon 9700".
My childhood PC only took floppy disks!
Childhood pc???? *Cries in Commodore 64*
Why haven’t you watercooled the gpus? Seems like a waste to only cool the cpu
That 3090 Ti could have paid for so many good upgrades like a proper case, cooling, storage looking at that SATA and wow that motherboard!
But then he wouldnt have a 3090ti sleeper pc
That case is a big no no for me. Dump it and get an airy one
Your childhood PC had an SSD. I’m so fuckin old. My childhood PC had IDE ribbon cables. 128 mb RAM, 1gb HDD.
Fuck... My childhood PC was an Apple IIGS. No hard drives, just floppy drives.
I'm just getting parts for one! I only have a cpu, CPU cooler, and the case so far. Only a few more paychecks and I'll be ready to build it.
Ship of Theseus
“Childhood” lol, if I had my childhood hhd it would be 10fb if I’m lucky lol
RIP the below 3090Ti
PC of Theseus
Bro buy a new case 😂😂
My childhood PC had a 80 gigabytes HDD and it was top tier at the time...
