Building A Retro Arcade Machine

I have an arcade machine with over 30,000 games on it. It tears up normal hard drives, makes them run super hot and slow. I have had several hard drives go up on me because it is trying to access to much date. This SSD was expensive but worth every penny. The games run 10 times faster and this hard drive never heats up. If you have a MAME arcade machine this is the answer.

This compact 80's arcade themed micro drum machine provides endless amounts of entertainment.

I'm not building anything super fantastic in it as I'm building something for playing retro games with PC emu on Debian. Small and has a pleasing aesthetic, wish it came in beige but white will have to do. Basic build since it's for emulation, not virtualization: MSI H510I 8Gb 2x4Gb of 2666Mhz Corsair RAM Corsair SF450 Noctua NH-L9x65 (I like quiet) Pentium Gold G6405 (Pentium Case Sticker!)

This has been great for printing decals for our arcade machines.

I needed a 16 terabytes drive for a retro gaming machine. When reading the reviews, some people mentioned that this was noisy drive but after installing 2 of them in my machine, I barely hear them. The drives are fast and so far have had no issues.

Great machine! Excellent colors! Great building! Versatile! a top-line machine

This thing is simply the best looking case I have seen. After building my machine I just had to sit and stare at it for a while. My only concern is possible dust issues, but its to soon to tell right now.

Building a new machine after 15(!) years. If you are doing this for the first time a good tip is to try one stick of RAM. If it works, then try the other just in case it fails. In my case I got the bad stick on the first try. The second stick worked no problem. B&H returns/RMA process was not a problem, got a replacement set and I am loving it. Good timing and speed for the AMD Ryzen cpu/chipset. Set the UEFI/BIOS to use the XMP profile and away you go...

I was building a 3D rendering machine with the goal to have dual RTX 4080s or 4090s. I didn't realize how large GPUs have gotten and quickly found out that none of these GPUS would fit in a normal case or motherboard. After some deep diving, I discovered a couple of pros who build machines with the MSI GeForce RTX 4090 SUPRIM LIQUID X Graphics Card. Most RTXs take 3 slots while the MSI is just a standard 2 slot. I ordered one to check fitting and quickly ordered a second. Killer GPUs. I'd reccomend to anyone looking for a 4090 that doesn't want a massive card. GPUs run super cool and were easy to install.

Very good retro looking.
