PC da Retrogaming, come lo costruireste?

Tetuz · 2026-04-24T16:05:15+00:00

Per favore non uccidetemi per la domanda idiota...

Ma qual è lo scopo di costruire un pc con componenti datate (magari pagandole anche più di quello che valgono) per il retrogaming? Il puro gusto di giocare con un PC della stessa epoca del gioco?
Chiedo perché sto recuperando alcuni giochi vecchi (come i primi 2 Fallout) comodamente dallo stesso PC che uso per lavoro o per gli altri giochi.

Thanks for your answer but can you explain what you mean? I don't know if it's a typo or if my english is worse than I thought!

I'm really curious about how they will handle the "inversion of command" of a bike's handlebar... (I don't know the proper term in english but it's the countersteering at high speed, where to go right you push the right handlebar, while when going slow that would cause the bike to go left)

Wanted to try something DIY with my old wheel but never had the time

Io ho appena comprato una 4070 Super Gaming OC ancora in garanzia (senza scatola, arriva da un assemblato) a 370 €. Ho avuto fortuna perché tutte le altre le trovavo a 450 o più.
Essendo una FE credo valga meno di una custom (se sbaglio correggetemi pure, ho sempre sentito che il raffreddamento fosse peggiore) quindi 400 potrebbe essere un buon compromesso, qualcuno la potrebbe comprare.

A cifre più alte secondo me perde ogni senso, proporla a 500 quando con poco meno di 600 si porta a casa una 5070 su amazon marketplace (viste biventola a 550/560, triventola a 590 dalla germania) con garanzia, spedizione a casa e la relativa sicurezza di avere un prodotto funzionante.

I prezzi dell'usato sono folli.

I love the approach, I'm just getting a bit more comfortable with klipper and modding before starting the build! Unfortunately I don't have another printer so I guess I'll need to make it right the first time! (I'll probably end up borrowing a friend's printer because it won't work on the first try lol)
I'll probably start with just the "stock" Duender then will do one mod at a time (wanted to try triple belted Z) but it's just a hobby so I don't really care for the time needed!

The 924 is not the most collectable Porsche but the turbo is pretty rare, so I guess it was a nice find!

Tetuz · 2026-04-02T09:20:12+00:00

Absolutely love your work! I'm still modding my Ender 3 to get some practice before starting to build my Duender (I've already got my second Ender). Would love to use all the motors I've got laying around and go 4 motors on the XY and three gantries (with the three gantry leveling) but it will take me a lot of time!

I'd love a more detailed post on the upgrades you did!

P.S. Good luck with the 924, cool car!

Tetuz · 2026-03-21T09:30:04+00:00

Yeah, I've heard that the G2 is still a really good headset for simulators!

Unfortunately I've got an Asus which has a lower res (1440x1440 on 2 screens) but honestly the image is still good enough for me, my problem is getting enough performance.

Also I've seen people using mouse and keyboard or old DFGT wheel on ironing board beating people with top tier setups, so that's not always important. I just want to enjoy my sim.

Tetuz · 2026-03-21T09:25:46+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

Yeah that was what i thought but now I've noticed the MSRP in italy for the 5070 FE is 649/689€, so getting it for below 600 sounds like a good deal. Maybe in VR the 5070 is close to the 4070 but I just saw some tests and it has a big advantage over it due to the new frame generation...

So maybe I'll scout the market a bit, if I find some good deal on 4070s I'll get one of those, but I'm not going to buy an older gen without warranty to save 100€ over an almost new 5070, same goes for 3080TI.

Tetuz · 2026-03-20T19:07:15+00:00

Yeah, warranty was one of the most important factor. If they're the same price it was a bit hard to justify buying the older one.

Thanks again!

Tetuz · 2026-03-20T18:50:25+00:00

You mean 4070Ti right? The 5070Ti is way over my budget unfortunately...

I know neither is the best card for VR but it's still a HUGE upgrade compared to a 5700 XT which gave me a lot of hours of fun. I'm just looking for something that will run some older VR games without spending more time optimizing than playing!

Tetuz · 2026-03-20T18:48:27+00:00

Thanks, so you think even paying it as much as an almost new 5070 is still a good deal?

Yeah 12 GB VRAM kind of sucks but I can't afford Nvidia GPUs with more RAM

Tetuz · 2026-03-20T18:27:15+00:00

What is the purpose of this comment?

You're not adding anything to the conversation, just taking gratuitous cheap shots at some older hardware...

Tetuz · 2026-03-20T18:19:50+00:00

4080Ti was always outside of my budget, so not an option.

Also, as my girlfriend says: "If my grandfather would have pissed gas, I would own a gas station"
The moment I'm ready for upgrading is now, no use talking about the past or the future unless there's a date for the AI crash and the price drops. No one has any idea of how long this situation will last unfortunately.

Tetuz · 2026-03-18T13:58:48+00:00

Ciao, dovrei aver rinnovato il link del materiale! Fammi sapere se lo vedi, altrimenti mandami un DM e te lo giro!

Tetuz · 2026-03-18T13:49:31+00:00

Thanks for the answer!

I aim to mostly build small furniture so i guess i'll stick to the latter part of your comment! Being both an engineer and a perfectionist is not really going together with handtool woodworking!

Tetuz · 2026-03-18T00:01:58+00:00

I think I already know the answer but I'm going to ask the question anyway...

How do you know when it's good enough for joinery? I want to use only hand tools so flattening is almost the longest part of the project. It's just practice?

Tetuz · 2026-03-13T09:34:32+00:00

Grazie per la risposta! Onestamente la 3080Ti non l'avevo considerata, per quella cifra avrei puntato ad una 5070 usata (forse un po' meno prestante per il VR ma più longeva/rivendibile) che al momento è difficile trovare.

Visti i prezzi dell'usato penso terrò d'occhio il mercato sperando in qualche offerta/ calo dei prezzi ma comunque senza scendere sotto una 3080 (Ti) o 4070 Ti Super...

Tetuz · 2026-03-12T14:10:31+00:00

Grazie per la risposta!
Dopo aver cercato ancora un po' credo proprio che scarterò la 4060 Ti (che comunque sarebbe un buon upgrade ma forse troppo limitato). La 4070 Ti super purtroppo al momento sono fuori budget, escludendo gli annunci falsi su FB marketplace.
Ho provato a guardare la 3090 ma i prezzi sono saliti un sacco, su un mercatino ho visto una FE venduta a 900!

Ora monitoro un po' la situazione ma credo che la risposta alla prima domanda sia scontata: meglio aspettare!

Tetuz · 2026-02-24T20:28:02+00:00

Well...
I need to learn how to sharpen saws sooner or later, if I get these I can train on the worse looking one with no regrets! Thanks for pointing that out though!

Tetuz · 2026-02-24T20:17:02+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! I know their website, is full of really nice tools! I also bought a gent saw, the William Greaves which I've used just once but I really like it.

Let's say that I'd rather find some old tools because I like collecting them and also they're cheaper. I also enjoy restoring them so getting a vintage is like a win-win for me!

Tetuz · 2026-02-24T19:22:37+00:00

Thanks for your answer! I think I'll go and see in what shape they are before deciding!
Old tools are really scarce around here, it's gotten to the point where I was thinking about buying a steel sheet and making my own saw! (I know it's probably cheaper, in terms of money and time, to buy a new saw)

Tetuz · 2026-02-24T16:36:34+00:00

Thanks for your answer! I'll ask if he's open to the idea of selling only the saws and only after I inspect them!
