Over the course of time I have gotten a LOT of hardware and software, so here’s what I use to make my videos, website and projects.
Desktop
A custom build PC I built myself over the years, starting from a shitty prebuilt I got when I was 10.
Current hardware:
| Name | Model and/or specs |
|---|---|
| Motherboard | ASRock Phantom Gaming 4 B550M |
| RAM | 32Gb DDR4 2133MHz (Crucial 2x8Gb 2666MHz UDIMM + Lexar 1x16Gb 2133MHz SODIMM) |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 4500 |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 8Gb VENTUS 2X OC |
| SSD | Samsung 870 QVO 1Tb + Lexar NQ100 500Gb |
| Case | Newway NC1 White |
| PSU | CORSAIR RM650e 650W |
| OS | Debian 13 with KDE + Windows 10 Pro + Windows 11 Pro |
| Keyboard | CIY X79 65% AZERTY FR ISO |

| Display | THOMSON IPS 180Hz FHD M24FG2Y14 |
| Camera | THUSTAND USB document visualiser 1080p |
| Mic | HyperX SoloCast White |
| Keypad | SayoDevice O3C with Gateron Jade Pro |
Next upgrades (by order of priority):
| Name | Model and/or specs |

| Keyboard | CIY X79 65% AZERTY FR ISO with different switches and PBT keycaps |
| SSD | WD_BLACK SN770M 1Tb |
| Display | AOC 180Hz IPS QHD Q24G2A + KTC 400Hz IPS QHD H25X7 |
Laptop
A laptop I bought in September of 2025, luckily right before the RAM shortage started, although that meant that I couldn’t upgrade the RAM and SSD as I wanted to in 2026… Bought it brand new for €750, which I think is a very good deal, especially considering the current hardware prices for 2026 - now that same laptop is sold for €1000!
Current hardware:
| Name | Model and/or specs |
|---|---|
| RAM | SK Hynix 2x8Gb DDR5 5600MHz |
| CPU | AMD Ryzen 5 7535HS |
| GPU | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4050 6Gb |
| SSD | KINGSTON OM8SEP4512Q-AA 500Gb |
| Case | Acer Nitro V 15 ANV15-41-R4FN |
| OS | Windows 11 Pro |
| Display | 1080p 165Hz display |
Next upgrades (by order of priority):
| Name | Model and/or specs |
|---|---|
| OS | Windows 11 + Debian KDE (or maybe another distro) |
| RAM | Crucial 1x32Gb DDR5 4800MHz or similar_*_ |
| SSD | Crucial P310 1TB or similar_*_ |
*I really despise Crucial, but they’re the only ones having such low prices during that shortage…
Server
I have a self-hosted server on which most of my projects run, it’s simply a Raspberry Pi 5 with 4Gb of RAM, so not much. However it still does the job for now…
Current hardware:
| Name | Model and/or specs |
|---|---|
| SBC | Raspberry Pi 5 4Gb |
| SSD | Old Microsoft Surface SSD with Ugreen USB-to-NVMe adapter |
| Cooler | 52Pi Raspberry Pi 5 Low Profile Cooler |
Next upgrade will be making my own server build that’ll be WAY more powerful than my actual server. But that’ll take a lot of time to gather the money that I’ll need, I think…
Phone
I currently own a very, VERY cheap phone, a Xiaomi Redmi 13C 4G that I bought for exactly €99.99, which is less than the money I spent on my Raspberry Pi 5 server…
Specs:
| Name | Spec |
|---|---|
| OS | Android 15, HyperOS 2 |
| Screen | IPS LCD, 90Hz (feel 60Hz), 6.7"* |
| SoC | Mediatek MT6769Z Helio G85 |
| RAM | 4Gb RAM + 4Gb on top of ROM (disabled, slow af) |
| CPU | 2x2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 + 6x1.8 GHz Cortex-A55 |
| GPU | Mali-G52 MC2 |
| Storage | 128Gb eMMC 5.1 (slow as fuck) |
| SD | SanDisk 128Gb (2x faster than the phone’s ROM btw) |
| Camera | 1080p@30fps, main, macro & selfie (they’re all shit) |
| Battery | Li-Po 5000 mAh 18W (“fast” charging!) |
*No, it’s not a joke, it’s really… 6.7 inches… in diagonal…
Next upgrade will be in 2027 probably, I’ll buy the new secret phone that Motorola and GrapheneOS are developing when it’s released. It may have some bugs, but it really can’t be as bad as a €100 phone, can it?
