00:03:18.480 --> 00:03:20.580 We started with plan A, 00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:23.580 building up the machine in the only case we could afford. 00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:27.580 So the cardboard box that the motherboard shipped in 00:03:27.580 --> 00:03:29.580 and installing our operating system 00:03:29.580 --> 00:03:31.580 on the only boot drive we could afford. 00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:33.580 A USB boot drive. 00:03:33.580 --> 00:03:37.580 But we were quickly foiled by trash Windows XP booting support. 00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:40.580 So we moved on to plan B. 00:03:40.580 --> 00:03:42.930 Puppy Linux. 00:03:42.930 --> 00:03:44.930 Only one small problem with that, 00:03:44.930 --> 00:03:47.930 we couldn't even get the machine to post 00:03:47.930 --> 00:03:51.640 with the single-sided stick of memory 00:03:51.640 --> 00:03:52.640 that we got for the build. 00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.640 So fortunately, this dank AF OCZ gold XTC memory 00:03:58.640 --> 00:04:01.640 that we had lying around to the rescue. 00:04:02.640 --> 00:04:04.640 And more problems. 00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:06.640 Steam wouldn't run due to 00:04:06.640 --> 00:04:10.640 minimum requirements issues on Linux. 00:04:10.640 --> 00:04:13.640 So we caved, grabbed a hard drive 00:04:13.640 --> 00:04:16.640 and a CD drive off the shelf 00:04:16.640 --> 00:04:19.640 and began to install Windows 00:04:19.640 --> 00:04:22.640 only to have disaster strike. 00:04:22.640 --> 00:04:27.560 All of this excitement was actually too much 00:04:27.560 --> 00:04:31.560 for the venerable C7 on our original board. 00:04:31.560 --> 00:04:33.560 And during the Windows XP install, 00:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.560 the poor thing died. 00:04:35.560 --> 00:04:37.560 Never to post again. 00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:39.560 So a month later, 00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:41.560 we have our second board from China 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:45.560 that quite frankly looks a fair bit rougher. 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:47.560 And the fact that it came without a CMOS battery 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:50.560 didn't lend much credence to the 00:04:50.560 --> 00:04:53.720 tested working claims. 00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.720 But who knows, maybe we'll get lucky today. 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.720 This time, we aren't taking any chances 00:04:59.720 --> 00:05:00.720 with the Windows install. 00:05:00.720 --> 00:05:03.720 So we completely broke the price limit 00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.720 and connected the whole thing to an SSD 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.720 in order to speed up the process. 00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:12.720 Where did you find PS2 keyboard in mines?
