After running out of disk space on my PC a bunch of times, I decided to try storing games on my NAS instead. Well, I actually have two NASes: a Synology NAS with mechanical hard drives, and a Homelab NAS with NVMe drives (and 10Gb networking). So I decided to install six games on each … Read more
Over the years I have collected a BUNCH of different storage drives that I no longer need/use: seven hard drives and one SSD. People always say that mechanical hard drives are fragile, but I’ve always kinda been curious about just HOW fragile they are. Does that make me a bad person? Who knows. What I … Read more
The graphics cards are one of the most powerful – and complicated – bits of a PC build. That’s because while plugging them into the motherboard PCIe slot is easy enough, cable managing the various PCIe cables (that run from your PSU to your GPU) is NOT easy. This is especially true if you have … Read more
Cleaning the inside of your computer can seem scary, especially because some common mistakes can be really BAD for your computer. From knocked components to shorts caused by liquid or static, it’s easy to do something wrong during cleaning. So in this video I cover 11 mistakes that people sometimes make when cleaning their PC, … Read more
I have always been interested in how computer cases vary in size (and price) a LOT. I mean, the Inwin BK623 is a fan favorite of the small-form factor community, measuring just 14cm / 5.5″ wide and 32.3cm / 12.7″ tall. But you then have a ‘desk ATX’ (i.e. full tower ATX) case called the … Read more
A few months ago I launched a new series called the ‘Media Workflow Upgrade Series’ (snappy name I know), because the way that I was producing video content was a bit too cumbersome and laggy. After making a BUNCH of upgrades, I have now ‘finished’ the upgrades (or I’m as close to being ‘finished’ as … Read more
NVIDIA’s popular GeForce Now cloud gaming service just emailed all their members with an “Important Update”. Which, as expected, is a BAD thing… why does “Important Update” always equal bad news nowadays?! In this video I discuss exactly what GeForce Now changes are being introduced in January 2025, and why it sucks. If you prefer … Read more
I have always wondered what PC/laptop set-ups the big tech creators use for their own personal gaming and/or video editing, so I emailed ten of my favorite creators and I asked them. The results were really interesting for a few different reasons, as I explore in this video. If you prefer text over video, please … Read more
When I attempted to upgrade my study from 1 to 10 Gigabit networking, I quickly found that there is a world of non-Ethernet based home networking out there. In-fact, Ethernet is barely ever used as the central delivery mechanism for 10Gb, 25Gb and 100 Gigabit networks. So in this video I run through exactly how … Read more
In a previous video I discuss how it’s unusually not advisable to power your low or mid range GPU with a single PCIe cable, due to inherent limitations that exist in the PCIe cable – especially if it’s a budget (low guage) one. But what about high end graphics cards, like cards from NVIDIA like … Read more
