I just ordered the parts to put together an X79 setup. Whole computer for around $250, some new some used. As soon as I have my fun I am going to sell it then build an X99 system.
I have one of those Fractal cases in blue. I put a blue ray in the 5.25 in bay. I last used it to play star trek legacy. Before that I used it to play and watch the Meg. I have movies on disc all over the house hidden away in closets and drawers.
Evening Andrew, I don't know if you follow Miyconst - but he does a lot around the chinese X99 boards. I've dabbled, and this weekend I finalised a Machinist X99 PR9 build. I think most of the chinese boards have questionable VRMs, so its a good idea if you get a high watt Xeon - to have some form of airflow over the VRMs.. regarding performance - for the price I paid (£37 for mobo, £2.70 for a Xeon 2640 v3) I can't complain and its vaguely on a par with a ryzen 1600. Not for tripple AAA gaming at 4k, but these still do everything at 1080P gaming and in that value segment, they still offer fun.! Good video :)
A further update; I ordered an additional two Samsung DDR4-2133 ECC RDIMM modules to match the existing ones, and now have a working 64GiB (4×16GiB) in play and running well. I also got a three-way fan splitter cable and have two front fans and one rear fan in play too.
Do you know if ECC is enabled and working? I have a bunch of X99 boards from different manufacturers, and they all work just fine with registered, ECC memory. But few of them actually enable ECC. They just run the ECC sticks as regular memory and ignore the 9th bit.
I couldn't say for sure. I don't think it's reasonable to believe the smbios data, given that on all 3 of my Huananzhi, Jiahuayu, and Machinist boards, all report 72-bit width, suggesting ECC, but only 2 of those 3 even have ECC memory installed. Could you suggest a method that actually directly tests and proves ECC operation?

Optical drive. Wow. Bet your mum is impressed.
She wasn't impressed, and then I pointed out how much utility I could get from writing dual-layer BD, and she became proud beyond belief.
Xiahua Yu! A name you know, and trust!

Thank you for sharing your optical drive experiences.

found your channel last week and going over your videos dude really like them ...
Thank you for saying so. No doubt you like how ‗completely‗ sensible they are.

Hi Seth
You would say “PayableOnSeth”.
Haven't used a cd for a very long time
This optical drive had a manufacturing date almost ten years ago, and I think it was already becoming rare then.
I have nothing to say.
Presumably your computer remains built from wood and still has a floppy disc drive.
Pillow Talk
I sometimes think I should create a whole video series from thoughts I have immediately after waking up in the morning.
@@andrewsturmey Please don`t Andy as I think the world and UA-cam are not ready for it yet lol
