So my main PC that I do all my video editing, programming and anything more complex than talking rubbish on Discord died. Totally dead. How it died is a story for this video and involved me, a new NVMe SSD and a screwdriver.

It wasn’t too bad because I’d been looking for an excuse to buy a new machine anyway. My PC was originally created in 2017 to play VR games with a Rift CV1 headset, and over the years has become a tad outdated. I did put a new GPU in the machine and this helped a lot, but the CPU and motherboard were getting on a bit. I just wasn’t expecting to need to upgrade so soon.

Due to the untimely demise of my main PC, and it being the time of year where I have to get my car serviced, there will be a short break before my next video comes out.

I wanted a mechanical keyboard with Windows keys. I have an IBM Model M keyboard, but its lack of Windows keys makes using Windows 10 more annoying than it should be. I don’t hunt and peck around the start menu, I’ve learnt to press the Windows key and just start typing the program I want to open.

Come with me for a nostalgic trip around my Atari ST that I had has a child that has been sat unopened for the past 10 years. In this video I go through the hardware, what I used to do with the Atari ST and make a list of future improvements and fixes to make.
