It took three computers to fix one that wasn’t broken.

The the unpopulated components in the little power button board 43:59 are LEDs and probably their current limiting resistors, not caps. LED footprints have a little chanfer on the cathode, while electrolytic caps have a shaded region. This was probably for debugging the MCU state.
drops computer, camera shakes and I can feel it through my screen
CRD: "…Yeah maybe that didn’t do it for ya."
Man's sarcasm is on point today LOL! Keep up the good work.
I'm half expecting 'small barcode label' to be on a shirt some day
Surprise SOBA probably doubles the popularity of this video. Let her stay 🙂
"I've seen it work before, I dunno why it's not working now." Yeah, sounds like a capture card to me.
Also, you should for sure rock the 3770 in there. That's what I'm running right now! It's a pretty good lil guy.
Considering that some cisco switches and other pieces of networking equipment use ATX CPU connectors to power them, it should not be hard to find a brick that already has that connector, just probably of too low a wattage I think
We just got to the screw-collared barrel jack and it made us angrier at the plain barrel jack for charging our ebike's battery.
Thanks for including the Soba segment in the video. Excellent cuteness.
Gee. Sonic Foundry used to be such a powerful name. It spawned speck-tackler software I STILL use today. Sound Forge. Vegas. Acid (although the dubious MAGIX owns and mangles all that software now, after Sony owned and mangled it for a while).
The "T" at the end is for a low-power-but-not-to-the-point-of-U CPU SKU. I think they stopped producing those at some point but I could be wrong
With some case mods and Linux, there are a few ways you could make this actually useful in some capacity
NEEDS NEW CAPS
Want a verbose BIOS? I have an Evoo netbook thing that runs an AMD APU, and I think the OEM just took the default Aptio package and changed the boot logo. There's way too many things to configure in there.
POS back of house server.
Sonic foundry made sound forge which was a pretty popular music production software, if you haven't heard of SF then you're likely to have heard music made using their software at some point in your life! ☺

Bet that's a Gigabyte mobo. I just got an… AMD something, with DDR3 and the BIOS looks almost just like that. The Splash/POST screen has the "X for BIOS, Y for WHATEVER" just like this one.
I'm such an old nerd, that I edited video with Vegas Pro, the year it first got released.
lol I recognize NCR, that's National Cash Register.
Sonic Foundry is the creator of (Sony) Vegas…
@44:34, ESD safe? I'm CAT safe! That should be more important.
You wouldn't see "VGA" written on a panel of a DVI input, because VGA is just the name of the connector that carries the RGB signal. It's just referring to the presence of the four analog video pins on a DVI-I or DVI-A connector. I agree that seeing RGB printed on an I/O panel is often a sign of professional or pro-sumer gear though.
I can understand not wanting to test everything on one nic and then again on realtek lol
Cable loom is cause people will often do shorr term setup for event and cables get yanked around
missed opportunity to make the title incredibly confusing with Little Guys 3: Part 5 (Three), really good video as usual 🙂
My gaming computer has a motherboard with this chipset and I can tell you it sucks. It has no overclocking capability despite having settings for it, it just doesn't work right or at all. The extra ethernet port is for remote management
Thought for the N3000: Turn it into a firewall with OpenSense or PFSense.
many things are hurting my ears. your opinions are wild and mainly driven by a lack of knowledge about computer hardware in general. I mean it seems you have no idea, really. Its hurting my ears because you sound like someone who knows it all. there is so much to learn. for example: there are even LGA1200 thin mini itx boards on the market…. its perfect for desktop/office pc's because you don't need a bulky psu. its smaller and cheaper that way.
dont get me wrong, your videos are very entertaining and I have learned a lot over the years.
if you want to skip the intro, the Little Guy shows up at 44:20
Love the startup sound part! Would be really disappointed if you didn't try! 😍😅
I wonder if Aaeon OEM'd the boards for Intel? I think Mitac and Quanta build most of the laptop boards these days…
Maaaan, it's a pity I cannot find one of these cheap on the other side od the pond, in EU land….
Is the Fit-PC still in the pipeline? I have a couple waiting for me and I am looking forward to your riff so much! 🥺
Some laptop PSUs only have the earth for RFI reasons and there should be a symbol on the PSU that denotes this.
22:41 you have a bit of false information. EDP is actually known for talking to underage girls.
The NCR box is cool. I was a NCR employee
I for one can't wait for the long awaited sequal to this series: Big Guys
I find it awesome that you looked at the NCR n3000 I work with the newer version the n4000
On my Dell laptop's power supply, I'm fairly sure that the barrel plug is earthed. Also, instead of a mickey mouse power cable, it uses a standard desktop PC power cord. This is probably because it's an absurd 210W PSU for my laptop.
Great video, loved the surprise fix and Soba appearance
I love the NCR N3000. Look at that subtle lime-green coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has dual heat pipes! Definitely one of the most handsome little guys I've seen.
I have some Kramer HDBT kit and there are some adapters for AV equipment with 5V DC collared connectors. I think the ones I have are Serial over IP peripherals.
instead of an i7 I would try to get my hands on a xeon E3 1245v2 or E3 1275v2.they're often cheaper than the 3770 on the used markets…
Seeing this video dredged up long-forgotten memories of Mediasite as a brand; I used these extensively in a media role throughout the 2010s. Their product and particularly the software/cloud integration was pretty good. The recordings were saved on local disk and uploaded automatically, then the local copies were overwritten as the disk became full. You could edit the recordings from the web application (directly editing the cloud-saved version) or edit the local copy and reupload. Students liked the player webapp they used to view the recordings it made too, because it allowed them to both download the videos and to play them at 2x speed (was a unique feature at the time) so they could finish "going to class" faster. We deployed Mediasite units across a university campus for streaming as well as recording; it did streaming pretty well too… though I think ours were mostly the larger rackmount units which not sure if they had more features (they were still third-gen Core based). We'd particularly liked that the Mediasite recorders could be scheduled and remote-triggered — our department operated from a central control room and we could start recordings for a class across campus without having to actually walk/drive over to that building and set it up.
Perhaps of interest to this channel would be their AIO mobile recorders. Same/similar hardware in a box with a touchscreen LCD. These were hot shit for us, we'd deploy them to outdoor events on campus with just a single tech. Give them a tripod and camera, a couple lapel mics, and the mobile recorder box. Find them a long ethernet cable and they could suddenly have a high-quality stream from literally anywhere, which was impressive back in the early 2010s. I checked on eBay and it seems like right now there are only older units (they're all running XP but ours ran 7… and definitely didn't have firewire…), but they looked like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/285776859092
I <3 Little Guys!
AVer is known for making PTZ web cams
Sonic foundry also made the editor/Encoder that eventually became windows media Encoder. Great features and interface, especially for the time.
The T in i5-3470T means it's a low TDP version of the i5-3470, which they probably chose for either cooling reasons or power consumption reasons
