I have a Comp Sci degree and I’ve never built a PC (until now!)

Even though I went to school for Computer Science, I've never actually custom-built my own PC before. I've always played on laptops or hand-me-downs, except for my current PC which was made using NZXT's BLD service back when GPUs had huge markup after-market.

But this time, I wanted to build the ultimate, Sonic-inspired gaming and video editing rig.

Will my studied knowledge prove useful? Or will my lack of experience lead me in over my head?

Let's find out!

    I'm from an electrical engineering background, and also interested in video/film work. Seeing you motivates me to try what I love again. Keep at it! Subbed.

    dude you're living out my dreams of being a sonic fan who can do all of this crazy cool stuff I wanna be like you fr bro

    The H7 Flow is SUCH a nice case to build in. I’ve built in 5 cases so far and it’s by far the best I’ve been able to work in

    I just love every neatontherocks video ❤❤❤

    I love the music choices in this video! As someone preparing to build their own PC soon, this is inspiring and motivating. I really want to theme my build, and though I have no idea what I'm doing for part choices, I have a friend helping me pick parts and assemble it. Hopefully it goes together smoothly like yours! Really does feel like doing rocket surgery even just taking it apart to clean haha!

    I'm so happy you made this video because I did the same thing! I don't have a degree in compsci but I did build my first pc a month ago. I even recorded a video of me talking about it, I just regret not filming the process since that would have made an awesome first video of mine. I was nervous about how I would edit it, but you uploading this has just given me more of push to actually start editing it to then upload!

    When’s the Sonic 3&k video coming out? I know you have other videos you’re making (like this one) but I was really hoping to see that video when I got the notification that you made a new video.

    Where’s my &Knuckles MOBO so I can build a Knuckles PC?!?
  • @SonicKing9
    woah hey, i just built a sonic themed pc a couple weeks ago pretty similar to this lol, so sick!

    ... Not sure if there being a lack of BG music for a good chunk of the video was an intentional design choice or slip-up, XD. Also, where did you find that remix of the Sonic 3 File Select music that you used here?
  • @ABitofEpicness
    the chillness of these videos are nice to see on a site where everything is high energy right now (also you get bonus points for using toxic caves music thats like one of the only good songs from spinball so kudos) 🫡 hope to see you with over 100k subs in a years time, hopefully sooner!!
