Well Done Clint!! Keep up the great vids and reviews.

Congrats 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.

I think cable like this would be best way to mount USB ports <a href="https://www.amazon.com/CGTime-0-5M-Panel-Mount-Cable/dp/B01IBXZ1HO/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.com/CGTime-0-5M-Panel-Mount-Cable/dp/B01IBXZ1HO/</a>

P.S. That story about the CPU/BIOS update was funny. I've experienced similar things.

I 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.

Watching this in 4K. I wonder what percentage of your viewers watch in 4K thus far. Does YT have analytics on that?...

:D Awesome!!! Here's to 8 more years and beyond!!

Congrats 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.

Retail Archaeology

Yeah but does it run Doom? All kidding aside congrats on 8 years dude!

Congrats 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.

Great video !!! It 's kind of cool if make PC Part as terminal (via putty terminar emulator ) of Altair 8800

Zem Hysong

That's pretty cool. Here's to another 8 years!

You need a turbo button on that thing man! :P

long live LGR

Justin Dotson

Now I want a new retro looking pc. Thanks for that.

Good on ya Clint for making it 8 freaking years! Great stuff as always. Love that case man.

Very 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 !

Crysis is 10 years old.... That hurts me so much.

Congratulations 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...

OMG 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.

Congratulations on 8 years. Here's to another 8 fantastic years worth of videos and content. :)

Congrats on going 8 years strong!

Welcome to my world! Since I'm dealing with hardware in most of my episodes, it seems nothing ever goes to plan.

Wallace Fung Wooh Sheen

Woots 8 Years!!! Also I received the 5.25" floppy disk. Me and my dad loved it, thumbs up the with the quality content.

LGR

Seems 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.

LGR

Hehe, I knew that decommissioned grenade would make for a fun gag sometime.

Here are two of my favorite restomods: <a href="https://youtu.be/NGcglci5_WM" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/NGcglci5_WM</a> <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/70s-Terminal-PC/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.instructables.com/id/70s-Terminal-PC/</a>

Great 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.

The Enforcer

8 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

Lindsay Michelle

The 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. :)

Marcus Zertuche

Congrats 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!

ReeseRiverson

An 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!

Anders Enger Jensen

Congratulations 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)

LGR

Yay!!!

LGR

Thanks, 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

Thank you!

TJ @ The Variety Show Podcast

Great 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!

LGR

Yeah 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

Hmm 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!!

LGR

Ha!

Congrats on the 8 year anniversary! For extra irony you should now run an Altair emulator on that PC. :D

Congrats on 8 years! And what an awesome 8 years it's been :)

Congrats on the 8 years! Thanks for sticking with, man. This has easily been one of my favorite YouTube channels so I am glad it is still going strong! P.S. Love your food channel too!

This is pretty exciting!!!
