He could also do more videos on cheap phones. The five that he has already done (LG Optimus L3, Samsung Galaxy Ace, Samsung Galaxy Mini 2, Nexus 4 and Samsung Galaxy S2) have been really good and successful (although they're starting to feel dated now) and it would be great to see more phones of those sort of prices from a 2021 (or 2022) standpoint.

Not sure it's a "good" thing that we are all having to be a bit more creative given the parts shortage/inflated prices but maybe this all means that we can make the tech we have go further for longer, and keep it out of landfill. Great video and love the choice of case!
My first DIY PC lasted me 9 years and I managed to sell virtually all of its parts off second hand. Unless you're playing the latest graphics intensive games a PC can last you a surprisingly long time.
I don't think people are scalping DDR3 ram....A 16 GB kit was getting harder to find before Covid...Its just demand is so high that people are buying up old systems and all the 16gb (2 x 8gb) kits they can get their hands on.
Looking forward to the day Budget Builds posts again. Always got me interested in doing a project. I am sure the resurgence will occur with a drop in gpu prices!
Very nice. I recommend using a lighter version of Windows Server without the Explorer, called "Server Core" for this purpose. It will save RAM and CPU usage. For administration of either Server Core or Desktop Experience installations just use "Windows admin center", which is the Windows equivalent of "cockpit" in Linux.
Can’t believe the coincidence on this video, just this week completed the same build but with a twist, managed to do the bios upgrade with a programmer and salvaged bios chips - not a smug move honest! Now have a i5-3570k on same board.
A look a new video by Budget Builds Official. A totally, brand new, amazing video about a media unit and nothing else. 😂 Seriously, still enjoyed this. It probably could be uploaded 10 more times and I'd still watch. Keep being awesome and thanks for all the videos.
I also got a P8H61I RM/SI board for a cheap HTPC build. Can confirm the BIOS chip is removable and you can use a CH341A USB programmer to manually flash the latest ASUS BIOS over the RM branded version. Works just fine, you just need to use a tool like uefiextract to get the raw UEFI image from the ASUS BIOS file.
I wouldn't mind seeing more videos like this.... It isn't your standard fare, but I liked it!! Then again your channel isn't my standard fare for technology either, but I like it!!
9:15 Managed to get a RTX 3070 just as the GPU scalping was beginning, for £630. Now they're going for a grand on Ebay. Held my old 1060 for a couple of months before I sold it - went for £280, more than what I paid for it new in 2016. Situation is messed up right now, heh.
Not for everything. I picked up a used 980 hydrocopper(EVGA custom loop waterblocked 980) for 110 USD(about £80). Put in about 300 dollars worth of spare watercooling equipment, which explains why the 980 waterblocked(Ti is about 1.5-2x the price) is still pretty much the same as before the scalpocalypse.
This video is a really good object lesson for what can be achieved with older 'obsolete' hardware. Matching the task to the hardware is the key. Your server is over kill compared to mine but I don't need a high speed file server as I only back up over night once a month and the relatively low power draw of the down clocked CPU and moderate spin down times of the drives result is a 45W draw which costs a few pennies a day. FWIW the POH of one drive is currently over 72,000. I am unconcerned as the data is quite redundant, even if not RAID.YMMV.
I'm glad I kept my gtx 950. Did not see the market getting this bad. I looked on offerup and even saw a 1050 or 1060 3gig version for 300 to 400 dollars.
my secondary pc is also a 1155 mobo with a I73770 and a gtx 980 paired with 16gb of ddr3 1600mhz ram. for 1080p it's great, even cyberpunk will run at 60 fps with low details
I have avery similar setup for my cheap 24TB nas with the node 304 case and that same ASUS RM Bios motherboard, I did face the exact same issue as I was trying to install a Xeon which was supported by the original firmware but not by the RM version I was using, however I found on eBay that people will sell replacement socket ICs that contain the bios, so I bought one of those that I asked the seller to flash with the original Asus firmware and then swapped it and it worked to my suprise. It was very easy to swap since it is socketed and I was surprised that at the time nobody online appeared to figure this issue out. It did cost me £9 for the new IC, flashing + delivery but I already had the motherboard and cpu at this point so it was worth the risk. If you are experienced with IC flashing and have a flasher I believe you could flash it yourself manually with the Asus Rom over the original RM Rom. I also had a similar looking Chinese sata card which kept causing issues and ZFS errors, (I think there was an issue with the controller and using 5 drives at high bandwidth) but I replaced it with an eBay IBM LSI M1015 that I flashed the IT mode firmware onto and since then there have been no issues whatsoever, highly recommend this for a Sata card solution.
In the U.S. , instead of buying a 960, you should bid for an RX 560/70 or GTX 1060. Bidding is SIGNIFICANTLY cheaper, and I'm seeing listings for 1060s for a little under $130 that end soon
I used to have a dual socket LGA 1366 with Xeon 5677 in each socket and I decided that's way more power than I'll ever need for any of my server applications now, so I repurpose my old htpc which had a i5 2400 in it, and it does everything I need to do just as good as the big system did, while sipping power in comparison. The electric bill certainly appreciates 40 watts compared to a constant 210 watts. And I can still play my personal Minecraft server on it just fine while simultaneously streaming a Plex video.
I think it's a good time in hour harware-performace-crazed PC gaming community that you can have tens of thoussands of hours of great fun with thousands of games on a 10 year old machine with an 8 year old graphics card, no problem. We are kinda spoilt by the latest and greatest, but current situation we should all probably take a step back - even the budget builders - and take a look at all the awesome games that are available to us. More than we can play in a lifetime. We just need to take our eyes off the top 5 lists for a second.
Due to my not throwing out old builds I now have a abundance of parts that can satisfy my building needs. Right now I have a bit too many DDR4 and DDR3 RAM kits due to my constant changing of size configs and design options. Same goes for my processors and graphics cards.
Freaky, I'm literally building a computer similar to this but on a 3D printer case. Cool that this got recommended to me. If your curious; I7 3700 16gb ram Gtx 970 Mucai h61 mobo Apevia 500w itx psu SL 3d printed case on youtube I think it's called. Gonna be a pc for the living room, especially with fsr and lossless frame gen with controller. Now, you can actually build a budget itx system!!
Good video. I think unless you get a great deal that used parts are generally overpriced. If I was doing a budget build then I would look at new Intel 10th gen parts, they are on clearance sale right now and they won't last long at those prices. You can get a new 10400f, motherboard & 16gb of 3000 ddr4 for under $350 U.S, closer to $300 if you go with the i3 10100 (better performance than stock i7 4790) and need an igpu. Faster and more modern features like NVMe stoarge, Gigabit lan,etc. I've read that Intel 11th gen will soon be hard to get because of cpu shortages.
Worth noting that the more stuff you add to Gmod the worse it's gonna perform, I have 40 pages of addons and my Ryzen 5 3600/GTX 1080/16GB DDR4 3200 system doesn't go over 145 fps, usually dipping below 100
