I'm still fascinated with how much I enjoy your videos considering I don't know what you're talking about half the time. They're just very relaxing and have that sense of going over to a friend's house after they've just bought something they're all jazzed up about.

PCMCIA needs more love, I thought those cards were the coolest thing back in the 90s, one slot that could let you add a hard drive, RAM, a modem, a floppy drive, it was kind of mind-blowing.

4:09 "It's really a thumb and indexfinger screw if you think about. "

Don't know why that cracked me up, but it did.

If I remember correctly, some Ram expansions interfere with proper PCMCIA operations. You really want to use a proper accelerator board, which puts the Ram in it's own system bus, and doesn't interfere with the PCMCIA memory space.

I'd say put in the cd drive. It's there if you need it, and its always more content.

Oh look a shooting Star.


I wish for a Jagged Alliance 2 review in the future from LGR.

Also Congrats on a new Intro Logo.

use an old back plane from a vga card that has a dvi and vga port. That should fit the usb and dvi headers you have.

I wish horizontal PC cases were still a thing. They're out there but usually cost quite a bit extra compared to a similar "tower" case.

WOOOO always a good day when LGR is in my Feed!!!!

It warms my heart to see all this amiga love, having grown up with one on my lap.

Great video and thanks for promoting my case again. The screws you used were for the risers and are M4 that are not for PSU and I use a CF card adaptor that fits into the rear PC slot covers. Thanks again.

Pinball dreams!!!!
(the whole series was awesome, and still is!)

You should totally do a beginners series to help people (me) to start out with old tech. Love your channel and watch it every morning when i eat breakfast!

[jjjacer]

for the dvi and USB you could take an old video card with dvi and vga ports and remove its backplate and mount those ports to it, the usb might fit the vga hole

The cable manager in me is screaming, but it is a pretty case.

[Dukefazon]

Damn you, Clint! :D Your last Amiga video made me want an Amiga 500 again. So I went out and bought one. These are getting more and more expensive... But at least I got around 4-500 floppies with it, that's really nice.

The fonts you're trying to use were designed to be used on a minimum of 400/512 line displays. Please switch to either Interlaced of double-scan. :)

Having an Amiga and not playing Turrican is a crime.

[Markimark]

The Amiga Checkmate is such an overlooked computer, too bad Commodore was killed off by competitors, because our schools loved Commodores!

[JapanPop]

It’s somehow gratifying to see you go through the hard work the rest of us do when playing with old hardware in a new era! You kept plugging! Good job.
