I would genuinely love to do this. If i had the money, id get a c64 or vic 20 and tape drive and do this

@@XiaoDoesStuff The C64/VIC20 use digital tapes. If you want to play with analogue computer tapes you're looking at the Spectrum,Amstrad, Atari's Spectrum is nice and cheap. A Simple and extremely basic ZX Spectrum will be very cheap and use your existing tape recorder. Or go a bit older and cheaper with a ZX81, sure you ain't playing amazing games but you can play with the tapes.

@dlarge6502 oh yeahhhhhh. Either way, all the 8bit computers are out of range for me currently

Oh dang, thank you for the information!

Yes! Technology innovation is crazy. Ive been diving deeper into history and different models of walkman. Its been very interesting!

Thank you for the tip! I realized that a few days after i recorded the video. I don’t know why i thought itd just duplicate the channel

Haha yeah… technology before dvds i never got to experience. And all technology is interesting to me, especially if it’s something ive never dealt with.

@@XiaoDoesStuff The really interesting thing for me, being 40 is although I still use many older methods that I simply prefer, and I still use cassette with my 8 bit computers, but not much else, when I'm faced with a problem then knowing HOW to solve that problem, the older ways of doing things makes the solution obvious. I see so many people uploading videos of their TV's or of their new record player etc, filmed on their phone with poor audio and I'm just instantly thinking "plug the audio output into a sound card" etc.

Im considering getting deeper into the rabbit hole.

The Steam deck is objectively the worst handheld console. Worse specs than all other handhelds, worse compatiblity etc. The lenovo legion go and all the other 680m 780m handhelds are at minimum 2x better for the same price.

@YesItsAimbot that is a fair point, i just dont think i could use a windows handheld, but to those who do, props to them.

@@YesItsAimbot This response it utterly incorrect and cope harder lil bro

@@dexspace10 I mean like source. You can't really argue with objective facts lil bro.

@@YesItsAimbot your source seems to be ass then xd you can't come with an argument saying "worse compatibility" when game on steam from the legion go are running off the STEAMDECK STEAMOS that was designed for STEAMDECK and it works the best on it. Price points are crazy they are not the same price lil bro, no one also cares about the specs, they all care about display on handhelds, if you want performance get a laptop. Steamdeck is better just because it was the first and the most polished one, if lenovo go works on getting OLED and less crashes in games then sure it will be better xD

The baackplane used a sas connection. I dont know the exact type, but its one of the sas standards. I then bought a basic hba card with the same connector (~$35). I then changes the boot order to the hba. My hba had two sas connectors. One for the backplane and one for 4 sata drives. The order does matter, but when you get it right, it will boot from the boot drive as long as bootdruve is in first port connection of the hba

@@XiaoDoesStuff Do you happen to have any video / pics / and or links to the card you bought and where you found it? (Amazon/Aliexpress,etc.). There are a lot of people interested in your build and it would certainly help and encourage your viewers. :)

@@XiaoDoesStuff Got it. Are you using SATA or SAS drives in yours?

@jacquesredmond the hba supports bot sas and sata drives. I am usuing 4 dell 4tb enterprise sas drives

I completely forgot to mention that feature. Yeah, its a great tool when your desktop has a lot of space!

I will be honest, i have no idea. After a quick google search i didn’t find too much info on loaders and truenas

Yeah, and it’s still amazes me that sd cards have that much capacity. I like to use the 512 becuase i dont need all my games ready for on the go. Im fine with having to shuffle between on the go and stored on an external drive, but i can definitely see why people would like to have all games ready for on the go play

Hi there. Electricity will definitely go up. Not a substantial amount tho. My system is pretty simple, and it’s xeon chip is decently efficient because its a low end xeon. Id say you wont have much to worry about with a 65w tdp cpu system

@@XiaoDoesStuff thanks a lot. I've been going down this homelab rabbit hole and have been wanting to get in. Thinking of grabbing an Hp Elitedesk SFF desktop (those have two 3.5in HDD slots) and building my own little mini NAS. This was a great video

@shu9460 oh definitely. Most of those have 65w cpu, and you can usually have idle power draw of 40-50 watts with 2 hdds. You can always google the cpu as well to see the tdp which is it’s roughly max power draw. Most 65w chips use 20-30 idle and each hdd can use around 10 watts

I’ve seen something about that, ill definitely look into it! I assume itd work on my nas

It really is a great way to save on time and data caps

Yes, having a nas is wonderful. Redundancy is very important. I definitely suggest looking up raid configs to find the best for your use case.

The clip is from a while ago. I think I had coins disabled
