Top Comments of this video!! :3
As a fun note, at work I'm still running an HP Z400 desktop PC which hasn't turned off (other than the occasional power outage on the Vancouver Lower Mainland), since circa 2012. Yes 12 years up and running non stop 24/7/365. The PC carries on like an old truck, and it's used for remote desktop tasks. Hard drives were updated twice, if I recall correctly.

My main rig is an X99 Classified! It's still pretty good, despite the age, though I probably don't know what I'm missing at this point lol.
This video gives me serious nostalgia remembering building this thing piece by piece, saving as much money as I could in an attempt to "future proof" (it was my first gaming PC). I also built it with a 980 Ti that a friend gave me as payment for building his new system with a Fury X. This thing has carried me through a lot.

When you held up the 4090 at 9:44 i honestly though it was an edit to make it oversized in comparison to the 980ti but then i remebered how big cards have got over last 10 years.

I still have this beast, used it for 10 years! It was overclocked to 4.2 with 4x 580's. You needed two people to move the PC it was so heavy. It was an offering so ahead of it's time, particularly when doing Vray renderings with 2x cpus and all those cores. When Vray GPU rendering came out, those quad cards were a blast too, as was rendering videos out of Resolve. A relic no doubt, but so cool and unique.

I this generation for a while - couldn't afford an SR-2, but I picked up an EVGA X58 SLI-based system in 2015 for $100. Swapped the slowpoke i7 920 for a $50 W3690 (same CPU as the X5690's here, but lacking multi-CPU support / extended RAM support) and ran it at 4.5ghz for ~3 years on WC (OTT 480mm custom loop from previous owner - never went above 50c) as a gaming computer and 4.2ghz with a lower-profile air cooler for another 2 years 24/7 as a homelab.
Incredible architecture. Great system, really, really competitive performance.

I'm still rocking this setup from more than 10Y ago. It's been a rock star. It's also built with the EVGA 1200W and I've upgraded the RAID set on it a few times.
I definitely love that I haven't had to "fork lift" replace my main workstation PC at home in that time. For me it was well worth the investment. Too bad I can't post picture here, otherwise I'd post my build in the comment. She's been running 24-7 for the last 10 years, very impressed.
Thanks Linus for bringing back this great board in your channel.
