      Intel doesn't need him to promote their products but just to bring attention to it. Most people who watch him already knows about the technical details that even if Linus were to lie about something they can find it out. And those that don't have the knowledge just buys prebuilts, and so they wouldn't risk being caught up in a scandal or something because even if they don't care about us they don't want AMD to capture more of the market.

      Half expected to see Melee set up. My brother's a competitive smash player and has told me that the Trinitrons are basically the best monitor/tv for competitive play on a retro console. In most cases the output for an old console is going to be analog and most HDMI mods work after the system has already converted it's digital signals to HDMI. As a result using HDMI on an older console almost always introduces more lag than using a decent quality CRT with analog connections (even if a modern monitor has analog inputs it still has to convert to digital then display it). Trinitrons in particular are good because they are sharper and faster than other CRT technologies (Sony invented Trinitron but licensed it to a few other manufactures as well). With the PS2 there is an alternative option that may be just as fast if not faster (I've not seen it tested) with a newer mod that has to be soldered onto the PS2s motherboard. I don't remember the name of the mod off hand (MVG did a video on it) but what it does is it takes the internal digital signals created by the PS2 and directly converts them to HDMI which results in a much better conversion. Since it's not converting to analog first then back like other HDMI mods it may be just as fast as using an analog cable/CRT.

    This is by far the best tech upgrade so far. Living in your parents' basement is now underrated.

    I would've personally put the upgraded system inside the Meshify 2, given how much airflow and higher quality the case is. But I can see why Chase would like the customized NZXT case.

    My old sony tv did the same exact thing. Careful with it now though, mine became top heavy after losing that front lip. But the one i have is bigger so yours might be fine.
