- Hello and Welcome to Another Budget Builds Episode where today we're going to be building "The Cube"...Which was more of a personal project that ended up becoming something a bit larger for the sake of featuring on the channel... It is a blindsight harder than id like to actually get ahold of the parts I wanted, eitherway I managed to snag (With the idea being that you can either focus this down a server route with HDD and RAID or gaming with the GTX Route):
Yes this is a reupload as I wasnt happy with the original release, and have since fixed a few issues
1155 ITX Motherboard Bundle - £60
Fractal Design Node 304 - £60
Delta PSU - £12
16GB DDR3 - £15 (local collection and a lucky deal right now)
GTX960 - £70 - Optional for Gaming
15TB HDD (£35 Per 3TB) - Optional for Storage
120GB SSD Boot Drive - £15

Volvo 850 manuals in the background.
I see what you did there.
paint it blue/white/cyan now
@@vincentg351 Yellow cause Volvo 850s resemble skips.
The channel theme is about budget builds but now the graphic cards price are going crazy on the market, hope he will comeback as soon as the graphic cards price cool down
PHEEEW! THAT ♥ means he/she/it* is still around...was getting a bit worried!
*just to be none offending.
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.

Please come back. I miss you so much.
He came back.
With the current prices you really have to think outside the box
...
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.
Th cat following the mouse 😂
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.
That kitten was probably the best part of this video (and probably that nirvana disc)
finally, a cube case that can disguise itself as a microwave
Have you seen the sugo 13? It's a cute microwave that had a mid life crisis.

I always love pieces like this. Making due with what's available and building something thats actually pretty great for its task
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.
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!
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.
Let me finish watching it before deleting this one ;-) Love the content!
Yeaaah there the video is, it got private now its back!!
why?
@@StoneyScientist No idea
@@StoneyScientist Probably video processing.
Please come back, we desire your good videos.
Yes please
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.
Any more new videos??
Love the retro hi-fi in the background.
Might I recommend (for the future) a xeon/opteron build (late 00s-early 10s) + ECC DDR3? As of August 2021, those are stunningly cheap
Ouch, it's only a 2c/4t CPU :/
Thumbs up for the cat :3
Never underestimate those i3s! They are perfect for budget competitive games, pubg lite, lol, cs go, valorant, etc! And for extremely cheap prices
@@calvitocalvon1711 well, I have a Haswell 2c/4t i5 on my laptop and it simply feels slow when I'm used to faster hardware.
@@RuruFIN laptop processors are slow as hell because they generate heat, pc i3s are cool because most competitive games run on 2 cores only
@@calvitocalvon1711 Though it doesn't throttle, it just feels sluggish after using a fast machine for years.
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.
man whered he go :(
When is your next vid 🙁
Awesome video bud, always love your channel.
does anyone know what happened to him ?
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!!
Gotta love that Be Here Now album cameo!
I love this sort of video, I am dealing with 1155 myself right now.
Gotta love those classic Haynes Shop Manuals. I have one for the American version of the Jetta and Golf/ Rabbit.
Yay new video from my favourite youtuber :D
Oh yeah Be here now cassette I remember buying it as a youngster from my local Safeway 👍
I'm really glad i found this channel
So I saw the video before and it went private and now am watching the vid again 😃😃
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
love your channel! subbed! :D
Nice job.
is this the third re-upload!?
Perhaps
@@BudgetBuildsOfficial ahh, there it is.
what the hell for?
Multiple video issues, the cube is cursed 😔
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
What a cute little kitty!
I have that same 850 manual!! Also HELL YEAH 440s are so underrated.
It looks like it would cook up a mean hot-pocket.
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.
love this
"So what case do you want?"
"Microwave"
"Wa-"
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.
THIS case is cool: uk-02w-op from Chieftec: small but full atx, 2 chambers, inverted board layout. Love it ;)
In today's episode, I spotted a weird flex.
Hayes Volvo manuals.
Niiiiiiice.
I like ur content dude!
Really missing the uploads your channel and random gaming HD inspired me to make videos
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.
the king is back
Hey man, you ok? Been silent for a while..
That cat is so bloody cute :3
nice gamecube you got there
ayyy volvo and old golf gti manuals, mans got good taste
Love your content
Come on man. Please upload a video
I was having a weird sense of deja vu until I noticed that it was a reupload
Love ur channel and this is awesome but can I just say I'm v jealous of your hifi setup!
The node 304 is pretty huge, it can accomodate 6 HDs, full size GPU and a huge cooler like the Noctua NH-D9L
I love your videos. ^^
Volvo spotted where, when, and very cool
God. I miss this channel :(
No wonder I stopped getting recommend videos. Please come back 🙁
Crappy times but nice video, i liked the kitty scenes too! I still rock 1155 socket with i7-3770 and a GTX780
Hey man, is everything all right?
Definitely need more low price server videos
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.
ARRRRRR !!! It's on the floor. Curls up in a ball and twitches with OCD.
Volvo 850 owner here, I approve this video
Upvote for cat and the Volvo manuals.
u are so underrated
I have this case i love it, i hated to build in it though, my poor hands got cramped
what that linux quote say at 15:49
Did the same thing with a 1650 super and a 4570 on a jonsbo c2 case last year for the same price.
Retrofitted 2 3.5 and 2 2.5 hard disks on it lmao.
Nice this video
I mean, the load times in civ 6 are quite long. Except for the little cpu situation, thats a pretty cool build.
Why the re-upload?
*Golf MK II and Jetta Service book!
Nice
7:05 that crooked screw though ... ;)
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.
Does it make a microwave noise at startup
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Looking forward for more budget build videos. Perhaps some tips on windows 10 optimization.
yes!
I have the same concept but as a tower with A8 7650K and works great
we have that case at our school
That thing looks like a microwave
Didn't you upload this a while ago? Keep deja vu'ing throughout the video. Good vid btw
yes,i felt like i've watched this and realised it's a reupload
the best gamecube
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!!
I'm 3 minutes 28 seconds in and just realized this is a reupload lol
Yea, had a weird case of dejà vu watchin the start of the video too!
Looking at it From the side with the window. It reminds me of a microwave. Lol. But nonetheless another great quality video. With or without those re-uploads
I have a feeling of deja vu
2:56 i thought it was a microwave for a second
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.
YOOOO NEW VID!!
It looks like my microwave, only it probably heats up faster.
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.
Your cat is exactly like mine same color to.
Missed a shout not testing Wind waker on the Gaming Cube 😜
