I spotted that video a couple of hours ago, but didn't watch it. I have to take my existing computer apart. Somehow the CD drive stopped working, and I suspect so has the LAN card. I really need a new computer - Windows Updates keeps getting angry because my hardware won't support Win 11, which is apparently the greatest thing since flush toilets.
I suspect that I may have once met you in person (sometime in the previous millennium), and that I have in the pile of electronic junk in the corner of the room a computer you once built for a mutual friend (likewise sometime in the previous millennium) A few years ago my husband (who is a programmer by profession) tried to scavenge parts from that machine. He tried to get it to boot, and it was having trouble. I applied a little technomagery to it and it fired right up. But we smelled burning phenolic resin. One tiny spot on the case of the CPU turne orange and burst into flame until we pulled the plug.
