This week: We discuss facial recognition happening around the world, but not in San Francisco. Also, O'Neil Colonies may be the best way to live in space, Starlink from SpaceX is rolling out, plenty of D&D news, and lots of PC Gaming news.
Check prices on the specs:
CPU - AMD Ryzen 3 2200G with Vega 8 Graphics: amzn.to/31BIkzT
Motherboard - MSI B450i Gaming Plus AC: amzn.to/2IRm8cq
M.2 SSD - Patriot Scourch M.2 NVME 256 GB: amzn.to/2L07ORs
RAM - G.Skill Aegis 16GB DDR4 2400 Mhz: amzn.to/2ZswKoA
PSU: Thermaltake Smart Series PSU 500W 80+: amzn.to/2RkMJ5x
Case - Silverstone SST-SG13B-Q-V2 : amzn.to/215dak
I decided I wanted a PC for the living room that never stutters, is always reliable, and nearly silent. This started because my mini-PC was having a hard time with h.265 files and video files that were encoded at a high bitrate. So, I reached for the AMD APU. This machine will also be awesome as a general use/office PC, a medium gaming PC, or a family PC.

I clicked on this because I didn't know what HTPC meant. Now I know. I have a living room PC and it's awesome!
The love that the graphics card coaster is STILL there!!!! :D
i realize I am quite off topic but do anyone know of a good site to watch newly released movies online ?
I just built an htpc/sff gaming build with a 2600, same ram, case, a 1tb nvme drive and a 570 4gb and it’s great
Currently running Plex on my main rig with media on an external drive. In the research phase for a dedicated media box. Some solid recommendations here, cheers dude :D
You can run Kodi, RetroArch, etc under Mint, get a nice wireless all-in-one media keyboard like Corsair's K83, a Windows MCE remote for classic media playback. It's my favorite HTPC setup for years.
Where can I read more about this?
@@MrKadidle51 reddit.com/r/htpc
@@scarea2691 thanks
Nice build. My HTPC is running Win7, Windows Media Center, HD Homerun, Kodi, Steam, RetroArch + EmulationStation. Hardware: Pentium G3250, 8 GB, Radeon HD 5750. I skipped this generation of game consoles to build this. Very happy with it.
I usually install libreelec for my htpc setups
For media and light 1080p los settings gaming I got a ASRock deskmini with the AMD 2200g
a very neat build. i'd go for kodi probably, or emulationstation for retro gaming in the living room
I agree I like to tinker so I'd go with windows or linux. But if I had to choose a media os id go with xbmc
Finally I can watch pirated full 60gb+ 4K hdr movies without stuttering
*Evil laugh*
These 2 guys ^ are promoting a scam. Kodi builds, cyberflix and cinema HD aren’t scams
I love the mini-itx builds. How about one of a 2 or 3 drive nas using freenas or openmediavault? Been wanting to build something small and compact for a long time, just need help deciding. Is there even anything out there like the node 304 anymore? Thanks for the content and keep up the good work!
I use the core 500 from fractal more room 240 cooler 2600x perfect
This is actually kinda nice!
I would get:
Cooler Master Elite 110
Ryzen 2200G
Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro WiFi
8GB 2400mhz RAM from Crucial
480GB BX500 SSD
Corsair VS450 PSU
You could use pop OS grab a drill make your own vent holes on the side with a pattern some black spray paint ,specially if your tucking it into the home theater stand and shove a SM form factor graphics card like a Zotac GeForce GTX 1060 Mini 3GB GDDR5. then you could do some half way decent gaming too
I'd planned on it, Ryzen and vega still up and running..no issues..the 4200 frequency leaves a little more desired tho. but the 4 extra threads is nice...and people don't realize the transistor count being massive for it and that die.
wise choice i just subscribed this guy today.
I think I’d go with Ubuntu with a sudo apt install kodi on the side. Boot into either one I want at the moment.
Wow cool
Build an Awesome home surveillance cctv system would be my next wish from an old PC
schmudge I did that with an old amd phenom system. It works great.
How much faster will there be with the new apu from amd compared to this one?
An if so can a larger ie. "taller" multi pipe cooler fit this case?
Ubuntu with kodi installed via ppa repository, Chrome and Firefox for streaming from Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu and RUclips premium, (and literally anything else) "Private Internet Access" for security. Logitech K830 for couch controls. And I have Logitech f710 game controller
How can you manage to put the cpu cooler to fit in the motherboard. I have the same cpu and motherboard.
At 4:43 the colors of the video change :)).
MSI B450I Gaming. The mid-range B450 ITX mainboard that has a better VRM than 95% of the wanna-be "high-end" X470 boards. Awesome little board, use that one in my gaming system as well
These MSI B450 boards can be poor choices for any customized gaming performance because the iGPU clock speed can't be adjusted. Great VRM for APU's, but unsuitable because of that BIOS issue.
I would install a multi-media-specialized distro (with Kodi but also with access to a terminal) of Linux and I would use a 2400G and keep the gaming limited to simple games which don't need much hardware performance. Emulation (Super Mario Kart, Super Smash brother, Mario, Zelda, Megaman), Rocket League, Borderlands 2, CS:Go, Cuphead...
Need more Zweihander soundtracks in my life...
Awesome albums!
Is there some exposure issues with the camera? Anyway cool video.
First time using davinci resolve. I have no idea what I'm doing with color grading yet.
Can it run netflix 4k ?
How about "just enough" HTPC build
No Blu Ray drive for it? Why have a home theater PC with no Blu Ray drive?
Why am I not seeing any of your vids even tho I got the Bell on wtf RUclips
How many movies fit on 4TB?
JRiver Media Center?
That motherboard only got HDMI 1.4 though.. I want 4k60 HDR in my mediacenter, at the least :/
MyrKnof just throw in a gtx 1050 or gtx 1650 low profile and you’ll get 4k 60fps
@jhon doe that's a good one -- esp. considering he literally says it's NOTTTtttt a budget HTPC within the first 10 seconds and once again somewhere along the way... BUT WE ALL CAN'T BE SMART, RIGHT?
Also, please keep us posted about your power supply because I have heard dozens of nightmare stories about and have literally read over thirty negative "catastrophic failure" reviews about Thermaltake PSUs in general and especially about the "white" certified 80+ Thermaltake PSUs. I'm looking for as much data as possible before I decide to risk cooking all my components.
Color correction begins at 4:43
For a HTPC I would go with a SBC with a Intel Atom running Debian. I would do FreeBSD if Netflix and the like would be compatible.
I had an atom but it was stuttering a lot with h.265 and also some huge files like de-specialized Star Wars (over 25gb each). It was a slideshow.
@@teksyndicate That makes sense with the h.265. I suppose you could have another machine in another room do a real-time live transcode to h.264 using OBS and Nginx/RTMP.
I would prefer something that replaced all the sticks in the house and lasted longer. Not all that cut the cable steal. ;)
Maybe a silly Q but would the new 3200 or 2200 be good for video editing? I like the itx builds as I live in the UK the smaller the better lol more room on my tiny desk XD
So guys. I need a NAS with (8TB usable storage) and I need a Plex Server. I already have a HTPC (i5-3470-8gb-GTX1050)
Option 1: Should I buy a Synology DS218 with 2x 8TB in Raid 1 and install plex on my HTPC? (Networkshare on the NAS)
Option 2: install unraid with plex on my HTPC and use it as a Plex Server and NAS in one device?
Wraith spire cooler and quiet? Are you kidding?
I have a question.. Would a 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800R RDIMM Crucial CT16G3ERSLD4160B Equivalent Server Memory Ram work in this application? I ask because I already have one unused on hand. Thank you!
How to turn on the HTPC with a remote?
@@SilkMilkJilk better like mr. bean...
Greetings from Costa Rica dude, i love your content even serious bussines buti liked more when it was called the tek, anyway amazing content.
tuanis compa
Does the amd still create a lot of heat?
No. Intel are now the heater manufacturer
Does it support Netflix 4k HDR?
Of course it does
Great content. Stay consistent and keep improving everyday if your trying to grow your following.
Do you know who he is???
@@davidlockwood7244 He is the tiger direct guy.
I'd just install a standard GNU/Linux distro, probably Guix System. For media I like to use mpv. It's super powerful and you can control it from the terminal it's launched from, meaning you can control it from other devices over ssh. I recommend doing this in a tmux session so other devices can access the same mpv instance. (laptop, phone, whatever you have near you) You just have to export the DISPLAY env variable so it knows there's a screen to show stuff on. (mpv can also be used to play audio on something headless) You can set up setting for automatic volume per file type and for http(s) stuff, easily take screenshots, and play things from a .m3u file (you can just put a file path or a url in here with your text editor of choice and then open it in mpv). This setup is also handy for displaying pictures on a big TV. mpv can handle pictures, and you can even give it multiple things to open and it will treat it like a temporary playlist, so you can use the < and > keys to go back and forward through them. You can do stuff like `mpv pictures/cats/*` and show off all your cat pictures.
If it's just media then a Pi4 4GB and a NAS box. Otherwise it's just wasting good hardware.
God damn you guys in the states have such cheaper stuff. That same drive costs (as of July 2020) the equivalent of £56 on US stores, but here in the UK the EXACT SAME DRIVE costs £130. You guys can get 4TB of NAS storage for the same price as 1TB of home grade storage here.
I paused my adblock to help with ad rev.
It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.
Never use adblock on RUclips. Show respect to creators. That's my motto.
Soo.. My HTPC.. I got an old Acer XC600 that I and an old co-worker of ine diagnosed with faulty Ram slots. In the end I got it home with me (technically not allowed but shhht) I discovered that 1. Acer XC600 Systems use standardized Micro ATX mobo measurements, meaning I can upgrade this sytem to a Ryzen 3 2200G if i wanted to. 2. H61 one mobo's, second hand, are still expensive.
Right now it has:
i3 3220 (A weird one with no iGPU)
6GB of DDR3 1600MHZ
Samsung 850 250GB SSD
MSI GT 730 Passive cooling.
Windows 10 Pro. (For unknown reasons this mobo had a Windows 10 Pro license attached to it.. given it was activated after install, lucky me!)
I hear the stock cooler for the Ryzen 2200G is actually insufficent because an APU runs hotter than an equal cpu. Have you seen a similar trend over time?
I use a 2400g with a stock cooler. Overclocked it, and run games like AC Odyssey without issues. The thing is really silent, but OC-ing was limited, crashed a couple of times, but found a steady build now. Runs without a hitch for over 6 months now. So for an HTPC, this is perfect.
Would recommend a different cooler if you want to focus on gaming etc, but then you'd probably use a dedicated GPU anyway.
Liked because you sound like alex jones. (great build too btw)
1. Optical Drive (Bluray RW) required
2. TV Tuner required (DVR)
Id still do windows. i have bluestacks installed for entertainment movies/shows. and if i want to hop on linux real quick ill open up VMWARE. BAMMM !
why wouldn't you just get the athlon 200ge and overclock it. Overclocking for the 200GE was unlocked in MSI motherboards with a bios update
for a home theater i’d probably just use a light fast linux distro.
I'm using MX Linux in the exercise room and it's about perfect for that.
@@teksyndicate
I use Manjaro. I like the Arch repositories and I like KDE Plasma. I have tried MX Linux, that had some serious problems on my hardware, it was terribly slow at booting (>30 seconds compared to 12-14 seconds of a regul Linux distro - old hardware). After an update of Manjaro it also happened to Manjaro, I installed Haveged and had it run all the time (systemctrl enable) to increase the entropy and the problem was solved. I speculate that that might have been the problem for MX Linux too.
However, for a HTPC I would probably use a tiling window manager instead of a desktop and use a compact wireless keyboard.
That exercise room is intruiging, I never have seen anyone in my country have that.
I used Sparkylinux gaming edition with kodi and it a beast. Plus lutris. Woe
RUclips dont put your videos in my list :(
MEH!
