Hi, Welcome to the Fast and Easy Computers video channel on TH-cam.
We are a company in Hazel Grove, Stockport, UK and have been professionally working with PCs since 1994.
This channel shows some of the kit we install with brief descriptions of the kit and some stuff to watch out for.
Most of our videos are short inspections rather than deep reviews , but its all honest stuff without any editing or tricks and specifically we are not sponsored. Most of the items you see are things we have sold or are selling as a PC company.
We love technology and hope our videos help you deciding what kit to get (or not get) and understand any little tricks that are not obvious.
Thanks

Vid showing a on-board graphic 2D cad system which can play lower end games or be upgraded with a GPU as required. Here we have an Antec NX260 tripple ARGB fanned case, a ASROCK B650M Pro RS board (mATX but still with lots of expandability) and an AMD 8600G. We show the heaven benchmark running at its top 1080p setting (approx 20fps) which isn't bad for onboard graphics.
Unboxing Antec NX260

The Antec NX260 is a nice lightweight but strong case with 3 RGB fans. not that expensive and good to build in. Here I open the box and show what you get. Unfortunately vid got cut short before I summarised but I think you'll see enough to see its pretty decent for its price point. Look for another vid on this channel for a build using this.
Near silent gaming system based on the BeQuiet Pure Base 500 case
มุมมอง 39311 หลายเดือนก่อน
Making a quiet gaming system can be a challenge. But using a case like the BeQuiet Pure Base 500 can give you a near-silent machine when it's not gaming. Graphics cards will always make a system a bit more noisy when working hard, but that's not all the time, so a decent noise-suppressed case like the Be Quiet Pure Base 500 is great. This video shows a 13th Generation Intel i5-based system on a...

Is upgrading AMD 3400G onboard graphics witha cheap Nvidia 1050ti card worth it?
มุมมอง 50ปีที่แล้ว
We recently upgraded a 2 year old AMD system which had onboard graphics with a Nvidia 1050Ti card we had from another upgrade. These cards retail second hand at £60-£80 in the UK. Is it worth bothering to do this upgrade? Well it depends on your requirements but we show a good RPG from yesteryear (Skyrim) plays perfectly on 1080p after the upgrade when it lagged before.

A short video showing the storage options should you wish to upgrade a lenovo v50t small form factor desktop. We think its a great little machine with extra space for upgrades. The lenovo has space for a 2.5" SSD and a 3.5" traditional drive to complement its NVMe SSD on the board. It also has cabling for one of these and a spare power connector. |I think its a really good design.

Acer Veriton x2660G Internal inspection

Acer Veriton x2660G Internal inspection
Hello Sir I have an Acer Veriton X2660G and was planning to upgrade it into a gaming PC. I was planning to transfer it to a different case so the new power supply can fit. Will you recommend PSU like a Corsair 650watts for example be compatible with this Board? I was wondering if I can put a 1050 Ti.
Does it have anti glare
Nearly all the Lenovo business laptops have anti-glare screens, while still being super bright. Some consumer screens are shiny but we rarely see these now.
We filmed the video under bare florescent ceiling lights, in a room with white matt walls.
I just found out that someone can stick a RX 6400 FFS graphics card in the same type of pc as this (but is dell) and with the same 180w psu. I'm planning to buy that GPU, can that work in this too?
I would not recommend small form factor machines like this as gaming systems. The only time we have put graphics cards in are the super low-powered variants (GT710 etc) and then only for multi-screen use. Most small form factors like this have enough video outputs already so this is no longer necessary. The power supplies tend to be good quality but also difficult to get if they blow up, so don't overwork them.
Hello. I know it's a bit late but. How did you get your m2 working? I tryed everything on bios. Different M2 2280 SSDs but not in bios and not in windows.
Its a long time ago but this is an M2 SATA not a NVMe. Most modern drives need NVMe BIOS support which I believe this era of motherboard didnt have.
@@PhilErringtonSK7 Awesome thank you. I just ordered a m2 Sata and will test it. Cheers
is this system unit still good today (2024) or is it already obsolete?
We have business customers still using these. Windows 10 has until october 25, so if the model you are looking at has that you are limited under current plans. These boxes run mint linux well but may be limited by Microsoft for windows 11 you need to check processor generation to use 11.
@@PhilErringtonSK7 core i5 8th gen. 16 gb ram. windows 10 pro
@@leejohann9469 That should upgrade to windows 11 pro. We have some with BIOS passwords and bitlocker so it should have a TPM if the same.
where i can find that mouting kit
Its with the original machine. I'm not sure if you can buy it separately.
Is there possibility to add ONE HDD in more the SDD ? thank
There is space for 2 drives in total and connectors on the board for anotherSATA, but you normally need to get a power splitter to power them.
hI ! is ip possible to add a HDD more the SSD ? is there connectivity for it ? thank you !
It it good for browsing , actually i wana do e-commerce services
Quite an old machine now. Customer has been using it for everything including viewing big CAD drawings for 4 years. Its prime attraction is the flip over to tablet mode. For lots of browsing I would recommend external monitors and mice with any laptop.
How to open cd tray
You press the button when it is all connected and on. Or use a paper clip uncurled to press the manual release which should go through a hole on the front of the DVD drive.
Nice video. Exact same setup with a cheap pc I bought at a pawn shop. Was curious how it would work for me. Appreciate the video!
you are welcome.
tried this with the right software from my mother board a520m phantom gaming 4 and does not work any suggestions will be great fully received
You need to have the header from the case plugged in to tjhe motherboard ARGP header, as well. Sorry if you've already done that but it should work if the LED panel is in the correct listening mode as i showed.
I got one those i7 version 8th
Auto rotate not working
Sorry I don't know how to fix that. Maybe a driver for the rotation sensor?
Worked for me!
it worked for me once, but after rebooting the next day all the fans are different colors... the LED button doesn't respond at all, how to fix..?
and everytime I turn on the computer, the fans are different colors, sometimes even three different colors.
Upd: i tried to fix it, just restarting computer for 10 times (I also turned off and turned on back the power unit) and it works, I don’t know how long this will work, maybe the next time I restart the computer nothing will work...
Does this worth buying in 2023?
I don't suppose you know what model vesa mount that is?
The kit supplied has multiple holes so will do many VESA mounts, please see in the video 1 minute in.
I did watch the video, that is why I asked. I can find vesa mounts everywhere but they do not have an "L" shape on one edge to allow for mounting the N4640G unit as the mount holes on the unit are on the side. I have also looked at lenovo and Nuc mounts but they are too small. I was just hoping for a " Yeah, there is has "v754f" or something stamped on it." That way I could try and find one searching by that number.
@@aaatmusic It seems you don't have the special mounts that come with the unit in its original packaging. I think you might have to DIY these to replicate them as its unlikely these are a spare part.
hi ... i have one lenovo v50t gen 2-13iob but when i login bois press f12 key after login i show in boiss ethernet mac address : not available and i can not show in windows manager device lan network or wifi network i dont no what happend and i boiss the devicess .. and network setup is enable what is the problem
Hi Abo sorry I can't give general advice on all pc matters, You'll need to talk to someone local to you who can diagnose the problem.
removing the dvd drive can you fit 2 3,5 inch hdd?
A 2.5" goes on the left. The DVD is slim and does not have mounting points. We tend to swap the original main drive for SSDs in these machines. Bigger versions of these are now relatively cheap.
how are the temps?
We ran a 100% load on a RTX3060 without it throttling, there's considerable airflow so I don't believe there will be a temperature problem. But we're not overclocking or running anything massive. The mesh top is another option and there are 3 fan positions we are not using.
Great video! Quick question, I recently ordered the NX360 but I do not have an argb header on my motherboard. Will I be able to still change the LED colors of the fans using the LED control button on the case?
The button on most cases controls RGB fans when the motherboard doesn't. Although options are usually more limited.
All i needed to know was if i can open it 😅 thank you for showing me how💞💞
small form factor cases can be tricky due to the clips holding the front on or the hard drive/dvd mounts. We often spend a few minutes trying different things. Glad our vid helped.
No mention of the wifi card pci slot , or nvme slot
Has NVME and M.2 wifi/bluetooth slot, I have one I am on now with a 1tb NVME. At 4:17 you can see the M.2 wifi on left, at 5:58 you will see the standoff for the NVME
I think there is a wifi slot on the board to the bottom left (under the SATA cables), there is no built in cabling so a USB or PCIe card for wifi would be better. I don't think this board supports NVMe. We have swapped the hard drive out for a SATA SSD in the past. The system's relatively old now 8th generation CPUs are 5 years old so modern slots were not common on the boards then.
I have an Acer Veriton X2665G and am currently trying to move everything to a new case. I had a hard time removing the hard drive due to the frame holding until I stumbled upon this video. It was really helpful. Thank you.😊
Thanks for your appreciation. I hope this sort of stuff helps. We have a new vid on a lenovo ideacentre soon showing the same things.

Problem is i dont know if all the parts is in it as he recieved it. Can u tell if you c it on a video
Sorry I don't have that model and you are a bit far to bring it to us in Hazel Grove, Stockport, UK.

I currently only have Intel UHD 630 and can run Doom 2016 in highly reduced settings, but couldn't run Doom Eternal at all. I had a GTX 960 before, but it died. So I see this now as a viable alternative to play DE, seeing the current ridiculous prices of graphics cards these days!
The newer 4600G and 5600G are similar in performance.
Everytime i press or hold the led button it restarts my compiter
does it work the same for the antec nx230?
Not sure. If its the same controller behind the button then it will. The case has a controller for its LEDs which then plugs in to the RGB controller on the motherboard.
Impressive for onboard graphics !
This 3600G chip has been superseded now. The new 5600G chip has Vega7 graphics which although 7 instead of the 11 cores here, actually runs the same performance wise. Its still a good way to get a working starter gaming rig on a budget.
How many open card slots are there in this machine . I need a couple of PCI-E ports .
see 2mins 30 on the vid. There are one 16x and and one 1x PCI-E slots. But as its a small form factor theres not too much power so don't expect to use anything powerful.
Great video now i have a question is there a power cable for the videocard? Or do i need to buy one?
Nearly all small form factor machines like these don't have enough to power video cards that require a power connector. You are stuck with power from the motherboard slot. This limits the card significantly and the card speed might not even be up to the speed of the on-chip graphics if you have a decent new processor. Check out www.videocardbenchmark.net/ Cooling for a bigger card would also likely be an issue and swapping the case over isn't really an option either. Small form factor machines are not designed to be upgraded in these ways.
my motherboard does not suport rgb controler softwares, any other softwares to control antec rgb fans ?
What about connecting to a pc without a usb port? Do i have to plug one for power and use the other for hdmi and convert to usb c? I tried that and its not working..
not sure. We dont have this available to check. You could ask lenovo or the place you bought it.
Hey, im.currently having one of this with faulty motherboard after the 3yrs warranty run out last June. Any clue of what form factor the motherboard they use?? Mini ITX, micro ATX or they just use a custom one? Thanks in advance
Like many small form factor cases from major manufacturers its an OEM board. You should be able to get spares though as these are part of corporate refreshes so second hand board dealers usually have parts.
@@PhilErringtonSK7 ah , that's sad. But thank you anyway for the answer.
The blue USB3 on the front are 10gigabit so faster than the older 5gbps USB3, hence the little "10" next to them.
Good info Dunk. From my USB cheat sheet they are USB3.1, Gen 2 type A. at 10gb/s. USBs are usually backwardly compatible for slower devices, although we have seen some very old USB devices not work on newer ports although that might be software comparability rather than the hardware not working..
i have a similar antec case but, cant find how to connect the case rgb to rog motherboard, nor getting the button working, the leds are going by themselfs
From memory there should be a cable from the button on top (which i press in the vid) which goes to the board. I don't think there is a second controller but its a long time ago since we did this.
can this be done for the nx300 please ?
Sorry Nicky we only do vids on stuff we have in. If we get one we will probably show it but we have no orders at the moment.
I'm sorry if this question seems odd or un educated but what does the dock do?
It duplicates and extends the number of ports (external connections) a laptop has. Effectively you plug big monitors, printers, network cables, memory sticks, microphones etc in to the dock and with one connection to the laptop the laptop gets these devices. It saves plugging lots of things in and out of the laptop (cutting down wear and tear)and often adds capabilities like multiple monitors and multiple USB ports.
Most docks also charge the laptop as well, which means you can leave the charger in your bag or at home.
@@PhilErringtonSK7 Thankyou for this information an the comment above !!
Hello. What wireless card modul are conected on m2 2230 slot ?
Its a 2230 sized one, unlikely to be the same on any machine you buy now. These are interchangable components to fit a spec.
can you please say me the software you used
Software is proprietary to the motherboard used. We used an Asrock board here with their RGB control software called polychrome.
how many 3.5 inch hard discs can it have this pc (how many) can it have 3.5 inch hard discs?? thanks.......
This has space for one 3.5" in addition to a M.2 nvme drive and a dvd. Its a small form factor case so really not designed for many drives.
Thanks for the video. I purchased an antec draco 10 case and having trouble syncing the led button of the case to the case fans, any tips you could give me?
Hi Tal, I've just opened up a draco and can see the controller is just controlling the front LEDs. So its not really programmable in the same way as it doesn't connect to the motherboard.
@@focusred4526 If that software uses ARGB connectors, then it should work. The fans connect through that interface. We've only ever used software that is from the motherboard's manufacturer.
0:58 can plz tell me sir how to open that card reader plzzzz Sir
Its just a slot on the front. If somethings stuck in it you probably need to use tweezers to get stuff out or disconnect it and use an external reader instead
can the m15 screen fit into most backpacks?
Its about the same size as a 15.4" laptop.
why it dont come with fan for exhuast ? just one fan on Processor wtf?
Small form factors don't usually generate that much heat. The mesh at the back acts as a passive heat exhaust, the small fan on the power supply makes a very small airflow pressure. Don't cover any holes and you should be OK if your ambient temperature is not massive. Back in the 90s processors didn't even have fans or even coolers and some worked for 20 years plus. a modern chip will operate up to 70 degree Celsius without throttling. The main problem for computers is when they have graphics cards which generate massive heat and need active cooling in a case. This machine should not really be used with graphics cards due to what you've pointed out, its not designed to do this.
Superb......Thank You so much
