LGR 8th Anniversary Special! The Altair PC Build
Added 2017-07-02 14:51:13 +0000 UTCLazy Game Reviews is eight years old, wow! To celebrate I'm doing something enjoyably ridiculous: building a modern PC into the case of an Altair 8800 Clone. Because why not.
This video has taken ages to put together due to a variety of complications and roadblocks, plus just getting all the physical resources together and the tedious editing process. Ended up with 4 hours and 100GB of footage by the time I was done, all edited down into 15 minutes. It was worth it I think, this turned out to be super fun :)

2017-07-05 05:09:02 +0000 UTCWell Done Clint!! Keep up the great vids and reviews.
2017-07-04 09:17:09 +0000 UTCCongrats on 8 years! Very slick editing on this video. Nice infographic in the corner. Also the Altair clone was a great choice for a modern system case. I'm looking forward to seeing any modifications you make to it in the future.

2017-07-03 16:47:19 +0000 UTCP.S. That story about the CPU/BIOS update was funny. I've experienced similar things.
2017-07-03 14:36:57 +0000 UTCI can't belielve you've been doing this show since the heyday. I hope you get more popular Clint! Thanks for all the great videos.

2017-07-03 14:35:24 +0000 UTCWatching this in 4K. I wonder what percentage of your viewers watch in 4K thus far. Does YT have analytics on that?...
2017-07-03 14:31:36 +0000 UTC:D Awesome!!! Here's to 8 more years and beyond!!

2017-07-03 12:24:58 +0000 UTCCongrats on 8 years, Clint! Here's for another one! Also, any plans on expanding that PC (I mean I know you said you want to, but still :P )? It doesn't look like it can fit a Graphics card without some more modification.
2017-07-03 12:24:39 +0000 UTCYeah but does it run Doom? All kidding aside congrats on 8 years dude!

2017-07-02 22:22:00 +0000 UTCCongrats on the 8 year anniversary! Oh my, does time fly, especially when you're having fun. And yeah, when I saw you unpack that H110 motherboard the first thing I thought was "hopefully it comes pre-flashed with the latest BIOS, otherwise Clint's gonna have a problem with that Kaby Lake processor". Guess it didn't. Good thing you had another Skylake processor lying around then.
2017-07-02 21:40:12 +0000 UTCGreat video !!! It 's kind of cool if make PC Part as terminal (via putty terminar emulator ) of Altair 8800
2017-07-02 20:54:45 +0000 UTCThat's pretty cool. Here's to another 8 years!

2017-07-02 18:56:11 +0000 UTCYou need a turbo button on that thing man! :P
2017-07-02 18:32:24 +0000 UTClong live LGR
2017-07-02 18:25:21 +0000 UTCNow I want a new retro looking pc. Thanks for that.

2017-07-02 18:00:34 +0000 UTCGood on ya Clint for making it 8 freaking years! Great stuff as always. Love that case man.
2017-07-02 17:48:27 +0000 UTCVery nice project. You can install an USB to serial adapter to transform your PC in a terminal for the Altair, and with some code you could flash its LEDs according to the state of the PC, too. And by the way congratulations for 8 years of awesomeness !
2017-07-02 17:48:15 +0000 UTCCrysis is 10 years old.... That hurts me so much.
2017-07-02 17:48:12 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 8 years! Here’s to many more!!! Funnily enough I had the exact same problem with the un-updated bios couple of weeks ago. Cost me my weekend to figure out what the problem was...
2017-07-02 17:34:34 +0000 UTCOMG gaming marketing. I have am MSI B series board which is targeted at businesses but it still displays its giant "MILITARY CLASS 4" crap on bootup. Btw...gaming keyboards are the worst.
2017-07-02 17:31:23 +0000 UTCCongratulations on 8 years. Here's to another 8 fantastic years worth of videos and content. :)

2017-07-02 16:29:41 +0000 UTCWelcome to my world! Since I'm dealing with hardware in most of my episodes, it seems nothing ever goes to plan.

2017-07-02 16:22:49 +0000 UTCWoots 8 Years!!! Also I received the 5.25" floppy disk. Me and my dad loved it, thumbs up the with the quality content.

2017-07-02 16:18:00 +0000 UTCSeems like only yesterday myself, it's bizarre that some of my mini-series alone (like Oddwar) I've been doing longer than I've had some "real" jobs, haha.

2017-07-02 16:13:31 +0000 UTCHehe, I knew that decommissioned grenade would make for a fun gag sometime.

2017-07-02 16:08:00 +0000 UTCGreat restomod. I love it! I'm looking at doing something similar to a late eighties PC but because it's my daily driver cooling is going to be a problem.

2017-07-02 16:04:01 +0000 UTC8 years? Man, seems like only yesterday when I stumbled onto the channel. (Which was 3 years for me. Needed something to pass the time when doing military training.) Anywho, congrats on the 8 year anniversary LGR! :D

2017-07-02 16:02:43 +0000 UTCThe Grenade motherboard with the actual model grenade was hilarious. I do agreed they are appealing to the 14 year old dude gamer, that are buying motherboards by the dozen, I'm sure. But anyways, yay for eight years of LGR! I'm glad to have watched you for four(!) of them! You always seem to stay true to where you've come from and that shows in the growth of your channel. :)

2017-07-02 16:00:55 +0000 UTCCongrats on 8 years dude! This was a fun video to watch! XD Building a computer from scratch is always fun no matter what the setup is and this was no exception! Never thought about splicing cables and drilling holes into the case to make it work before honestly lol =P Keep up the amazing work dude! =D!
Marcus Zertuche
2017-07-02 15:54:23 +0000 UTCAn awesome 8 years at that too! Also this has to be one of the best things I've seen ever, as far as computer builds go. :) - The case alone totally wins it!
ReeseRiverson
2017-07-02 15:40:42 +0000 UTCCongratulations Clint! Coolest case ever! I would have it say "Greetings Professor Falken. Would you like to play a game?" when you boot it though.. (even though it's not the actual Altair from Wargames. But who cares, it's close enough! :D)

2017-07-02 15:29:01 +0000 UTCYay!!!
LGR
2017-07-02 15:25:21 +0000 UTCThanks, I'm glad it's still going strong too! The past year has been the best in LGR history so far and it only seems to be improving :)
LGR
2017-07-02 15:25:14 +0000 UTCThank you!
LGR
2017-07-02 15:24:36 +0000 UTCGreat fun! Have had a lot of fun watching all your vids from start to finish. Makes my day when I see something new to watch. From no beard to beard to no beard again, keep up the good work!
TJ @ The Variety Show Podcast
2017-07-02 15:22:39 +0000 UTCYeah it will *IF* there's the proper CPU installed so it knows to do that. Otherwise it won't even boot to the USB to flash the BIOS :P
LGR
2017-07-02 15:22:29 +0000 UTCHmm some of these boards if you but the BIOS bin file on a certain USB it will load it and update. Yea, that sucks though. Congratulations on 8 years!!
2017-07-02 15:19:41 +0000 UTCHa!
