What Was In The Build Before Christmas? - Paul's HardVlog #007

2014-12-29
excellent what's up guys welcome to Paul's hardware I'm doing a quick vlog style video because I know that's all I'll have time for this weekend if you guys were watching my channel you might have seen the Christmas video that I posted and thank you guys so much for the amazing response from that video I really was happy with how it turned out and oh my gosh like all the likes all the views everything like just so amazing so merry Christmas everyone happy new year and thanks for all the love on that one but i did get also some questions on that video and i also needed to come out and say that i am a big fat liar I'm sorry this is the motherboard that I used in that video and as you can see it's not in the system I did do the video with this motherboard but unfortunately it is actually defective the cpu I'm sure is fine and the other parts I think are also good like the power supply but the motherboard I think if we can get a focus here the motherboard has some some rust going on back here I think that might have something to do with this some corrosion so the mother more did not last so I had to go with an alternative the alternative being well I didn't have another p67 board I didn't have a z77 motherboards so basically I couldn't use that 2500 k although it rhymed so well in the poem but um I went with an AMD system so actually this has been working great so far it's got an a-10 7700 k AP you in there and a discrete graphics card with the GTX I'm sorry not a GTX discrete graphics card in the r7 260x apart from that let's let's go over and run down real quick I did some modifications here I added this little gigabyte front panel USB 3.0 Loremaster century in case from quite a few years ago and it didn't have USB 3.0 is that's my external SSD which has been translated don't worry that was the already dead motherboard anyway apart from that I did add some bling this little enter max TB Vegas fan especial LEDs that you can push this button on the back and cycle through super oh look at that that's beautiful just like Vegas I'm sure the parents are going to be really happy at that this is for metal nieces and nephews by the way and their parents but let's take a look inside actually all right so inside the Zelman cpu fan is still four is from their old system because i had their old system here that i used a few parts from and then the motherboard in the back is an asrock FM to a 88 x so it's a nice 88 x motherboard i got eight gigs of corsair ddr3 1600 memory i have that h is r7 260x right there and then the power supplies and enermax maju 82 plus this one is an 80 plus bronze one and this is also from the old system for storage i have that verbatim SSD which is 256 gig it's only say a tattoo but it's still an SSD so it's actually still really fast and peppy and they're doing doing anything fancy with it besides games and stuff that's for the OS nother the bottom we got a WD black 500 gigabyte dread which is going to be very fast as mechanical drives go and I wanted to give them some nice solid reliable backup storage and and and then the other things for this little build here are some accessories because like i said i want to i kind of nudge them along towards some pc gaming so i'm going to drop in a xbox 360 wired USB controller and i've been setting that up for them i'm also i've got some some corsair I think these are vengeance like 11 hundred a thousand thirteen hundred I know there's some of the older vengeance series a headset so I'm going to toss that in as well and then not the keyboard I'm sorry that's my keyboard it's good it's got MX Browns on it alright so and then finally some of the software that I've setting them up with so i installed steam for them and i got them set up with an account and i dropped in Super Meat Boy because it was only 75 cents on the Steam sale then i also got them portal the original portal so they can try that out I got minecraft on here so I'm sure the kids will be happy with that and I got the little language minecraft controller so they can actually still use the USB for the xbox 360 controller with it and then we also have some emulators so I did n64 and they've got mario kart 64 on there and then we've got nes emulator that has a bunch of nes games on it so they can play some old school games as well which i'm sure that dad's gonna be happy about I know he's he's down with some of those okay I gotta get this packed up and then we'll see if the kids like it cuter yes you computer it is oh that's exciting yay any possible backs it's paper cords I got some cables okay there's a drive rails in case you install an additional three flight by today hey that's the manga wow you can see it hey Anna remote control that's a controller or so to bring my video to resolution I have set up the system over here these are my nephews let's imagine hi say hi Matthew that's that's Lucas and Lucas is right now playing mario kart 64 use an n64 emulator we still need another controller that I think that would be cool to get because want to set up some multiplayer here but thanks everyone for watching this video and dealing with my with me
