I started my channel almost 2 years ago in July of 2012. I was inspired to start it because of Ben Heck. Thank You.

you said "i'm gonna use my Nerf gun to stun it", and then my browser crashed.

For the portable, replace the Harddrive with an SSD.

Holy balls, that heatsink on a console?
But anyway, to the 14 year olds arguing, you need to remember.
Microsoft is experienced with software.
Sony is experienced with hardware

Could you make an upgrade for the Xbox One to make it mineral or water cooled?

[Nevoexpo]

You are amazing and deserve millions of views on all your videos! Keep it up and a big thank you!

I personally like Xbox One original design. This huge black beast is so quite.

[combatplayer]

you shouldn't forget that you need the kinect plugged in to use it. so keep that in mind if you make it portable etc.

The Ben Heck Show Could you pls upload a guide so that We consumers can build our own portables

I bet it was smelling like shit when oppening that big VHS player.

interesting fact: those Samsung drives are actually stock from Seagate... you can tell from the Seagate website on the top of the drive label and the model number... the Seagate hard disks have an model number... for example, the 1TB Seagate Baracuda is ST1000DM003-1CH162., ST standing for Seagate Technology

I can hear my dad now, SCREWDRIVERS ARE NOT PRYBARS.

Just finished watching the both the PS4 and XBOX ONE tear downs. It was very interesting to see the different build philosophies of each company. You can tell the PS4 was designed by the japanese because of the very efficient use of space, just like you can tell the XBOX ONE was designed by americans as it is very open like a pc tower. All in all very cool, but from what I saw I think the reason the PS4 is putting out better graphics is definitely cause of the DDR5 ram, both had very similar chip sets but that DDR5 allows for faster processing. I'm guessing MS picked DDR3 to keep costs down while still keeping kinect.

Having gone through 3 xbox 360's from red ring of death my current slim 360 halo reach edition has been running like a champ since I got it in 2010. I can see microsoft did a similar design on this one probably even beefing up the heatsink even more with solid copper and so forth so I'm thinking heat won't be an issue with the xbox one. I'm still amazed they sandwiched the original 360 gpu right under the dvd drive which led to so many problems but I'm glad to see they resolved it going overboard to be sure the XB1 don't have any overheating issues. I've had my ps4 since launch and still no issues with it even though the small case does concern me for the longterm reliability let's just hope sony knew what they were doing.

at 13.05 for the small screen, since it only has a VGA input you can use a cable that's called VGA to hdmi, that should work for you...

Challenge : Turn the parts of an Xbox One, and a PS4 into individual PC's and then run a Diagnostic on them!
