i am very early to this video
i sure will
CRT technology looks brilliant on low Res like 1280x1024. I still use it today. My 980ti plays all the games I want 👍
This would be if the school computers had an upgrade
Turning a school computer into horrible gaming PC ...And yes, we played Minecraft at school on the same PC so ofc it can do some light gaming ...
it's amazing this channel isn't sponsored by an eucalyptus oil company yet
correct me if im wrong i think they have lol
What about raid shadow legends (or similar)
@@FireStriker_ they actually did send him a eucalyptus oil care package in a previous video, so you're correct
Do we even know if it won't damage plastic long term? He is the only guy i've seen using this stuff.
@@azizchaudhry9544 well he has pulled old computers from videos in the past with no issues visable. I started cleaning using it and no issues
I remember building my first PC just using scrap from my dad's recently-closed PC repair business.
Had a C2D E7200, 8GB DDR3, and a Radeon HD 5670, and booted off an HDD.
It was garbage, but it was garbage I made with passion.
What year was that? A 5670 isn't half bad, and 8GB RAM is pretty decent! The C2D and HDD are kinda meh, but that is still pretty good for something made out of scrap!
I rebuilt my PC out of a old HP Pavilion a305w case lol
@@93Volvo240 Not going to say the exact year, but I was 10 and the PS4 was already a few years old.
@@Iristallite Ah ok. A 5670 in 2013+ would have been pretty good for free. The fact that you built that when you were 10 is amazing! I didn’t even have a PC of my own until I was like 11. Having an AMD Turion II in ~2017 was less than desirable XD
great to read that... but I do hope sometime you'll put some money into a pile to rise in the PC ranks
Can't lie, I love this sleeper box for being a SFF system.
😂😂
I’m sure you could lie if you tried 😊
@@SproutyPottedPlant In that case my comment would make any sense.
Really enjoy SFF and ITX machines, my current rig sits inside the Cooler Master NR 200P which is a nice case that for once is no invitation to RGB party.
@@MegaManNeo what's sff?
@@lefteris.adamou.1 sff is small form factor
I just love CRT monitors for the exact reason...its low resolution , but looks crisp and neat enough...aiding even older rigs to run modern games at decent frames
CRT monitors have such a unique look and feel, I wish I had one to use
@@Blacksmith52 there are people trashing them (99℅ of them are tvs), you can see if there is ewaste in your area but they are not worth fixing and dangerous
@@Blacksmith52 I do have one TT , it just is making clicking noises TT
CRT's can have ridiculously high resolutions
@@jamesdoe4515 but the low res ones make your potato pc feel god like :)
He literally have a kit of the most budget gaming computer in 2005.
Hey this is me rn 😂
That corrupted screen thing seems to be really common in Windows 10 22H2, I've had it on all the PCs in UEFI mode I've reimaged recently.
Good job, I like those speakers)
Cost of living aye - This is still better that my schools PC's 💀
My school pc has 7th gen i7s
Fuck school pcs this is better than my pc ffs
@@jblcharge3_basstester my school upgraded the computers last year the ones in steam class have an i5 11400T with 8gb ram (Lenovo ideacentre AIOs) and in computer class some of them got upgraded to an Acer aspire with an 11th gen i3. But some old PCs still remain. I'm talking a 2nd gen i3 and even pentiums with 2-4gb ram and the good ol' spinning mechanical drives. I get pushed and bullied so I have to use the pentium ones cuz the kids just play cracked Minecraft (the good ol' tlauncher that is a virus). Somehow they got the money to buy good mid range phones but not a 26usd game lol
Same
Go the CRT monitor!! If it wasn't the full size tower that was breaking my back, then it was the 17" CRT monitor that would!! Those were the days! 🤣😂
I lost it at the Hitachi -Deskstar- Deathstar, well that's one component that's definitely in the $0 range (or possibly negative)
Hard drive enthusiast here, the ones made by Hitachi are amazing, it was IBM that gave the "Deskstar" branding its bad reputation, and since Hitachi still used the name after they acquired IBM's hard drive division in 2003, the bad reputation transferred over and people still called them Deathstars, despite the 75GXP series being the root cause of all the hassle. Not like I'd have a collection of 75GXPs or anything like that, definitely would be quite a terrible idea...
@@cdos9186 lol you do
@@cdos9186 i remember the HGST slim hardisk with 7200rpm speed
Install DOS and SBEMU audio driver!
Perhaps it could be a retro gaming beast with that CRT, keyboard and mouse. 😀
Even paint the case beige? 😉
I'm gonna puke
Not really a 0$ build you had everything laying around already 😂
I've got that same rig with a SSD for daily tasks and performs quite well, even tried Fortnite and runs 57 FPS on performance mode.
That's great value computing!
I still have those Harmon Kardon HK695 speakers, lol
I like the classic beige keyboard and mouse.
I just watched this video on my dell vostro 1500 from 2007 running windows vista ultimate in 32 bit. The 128mb NVIDIA GeForce video card is a smoker
I would like to see he do a video of him doing a tour of his famous Shed he has so much stuff in there
The term Gaming PC is thrown on literally ANY computer today 😂
It's a combination of people trying to gyp people who don't know much about computers to buy their ewaste and also people who aren't that into computers just assuming any desktop computer, especially a tower is going to be used for gaming
now a video ideia would be to make this a good game pc by spending as little as possible and see how it will peform with modern games
great video nathan! your videos are always interesting
My philosophy is, if you have fun with it, its a gaming PC, i definitely enjoy playing ton of old titles such as Assassin's creed 2, the original GTA trilogy, or even Rollercoaster tycoon. It's much better to play a lot of old games, than investing hundreds of hours in one modern title.
This video is from 9 months ago but im amazed this thing runs better than HP 15 laptop with a 10TH gen I7, Nvidia MX130, and also SSD + 8GB ram, thats a beast!
The GT 610 is a weak card, should've used the all powerful GT 730 which can run Hλlf-Life 2 at 60fps on max settings at 1080p
Considering the thousands and thousands of games that came in the previous decades, this looks fine to me, especially considering the cost.
Can you please restore the red Sony Vaio laptop that you bought, the exact same model i have now, so please make it ASAP. Please give me reply 🙏🙏🙏🙏
psivewri I found those harman karden speakers in my local thrift store but their was no subwoofer
i had that same harmon and kardon system. its sounds pretty damn good since i got it at goodwill.
It's sad how far they've come especially the prices
Hey now... thermal paste isn't free! For a true $0 build, you need to use toothpaste or peanut butter :)
Bumping to Sea Shanty 2 will make me thumbs up ANY Video. Good job
Can You Upgrade That By Installing An SSD?
My current work/gaming rig was built around an old (and buggy) motherboard and a 2nd gen dual core i3. I had to flash the bios to get external video cards working, and I was afraid of bricking the whole thing. But, I was successful, and after flashing the bios, I could install my GTX 750Ti and a 3rd gen quad core i5 to be able to play some games. As I am a vintage gamer of sorts, I could play PS3 era games at high detail level (mostly maxed out) and even some early PS4 gen titles at relatively good looking settings. This rig has been in use for three years now, and it kicks ass for what it is!
It isn't a video of Nathan's until he wipes something down with eucalyptus oil.
Is the 610 better than the integrated graphics? I remember a guy buying an i3 4th gen or 5th gen with a gt 710 and the machine was faster without it.
Probably not.... there were so many laptops that existed purely to sucker in people that thought an Nvidia logo stuck on made the machine immediately superior, when in reality it made performance and battery life worse
really great video, please make an upgrade of that pc to reveal its true potential
Hey can u suggest how and with how i can clean my monitor and my laptop
Playing far cry 3 with 16fps on Intel hd 3000
Don't use Opera GX lol, it is full of spyware
even overclocking that 610 will kinda help It
Isn't Opera still China owned?.
To be true, if the CPU gets changed for a i7/Xeon equivalent and add a GPU like a RX 6400, this have a big chance of being a killer gaming machine... 😅
Play anything at 60fps 1080p 🤔
Theres only 1 question to ask: *Can it run DOOM?*
I absolutely love these old acer cases. I've made more than a few sleeper pc's with them. The 240w gold psu in these is not to be underestimated , Currently using one with a Ryzen 5600 and a rx6400 low profile for my living room pc.
Those lines seem to be normal for windows nowadays. I have 6 or 7 computers that all started doing that after a quality update. Every time they boot.
I love these kinds of builds. Not too shabby for some retro gaming. I would have loved to see some old school 3DMark scores though. Perhaps in a later vid? :)
nice i have acer laptop and desktop for gaming
Congrats on 260k bro
I HAD THOSE SPEAKERS! It came with my 2001 dell deminsion pentium 4 machine my mom bought for me as a kid. They were great. And seriously impressive they lasted nearly 15 years or so before the foam around the drivers degraded.
We still have ours from the Dell desktop purchase in 2002 and they still sound great!
Best performance-per-dollar you'll ever see!
my school still has these computer's🤣🤣
I wish you a fast recovery!!❤❤
Hope you have a speedy recovery from the surgery!
its still better than my pc
and that's saying something
same, my pc is so slow its almost unusable
Me and my ThinkPad SL510 can relate...
This was a lot of fun to watch! Thanks for making this cool video!
Did the same thing but I think my one came out even worse 😂, I tried to cram in 25 retro parts into a modern pc
If you could do a part 2 of this video, you could find some upgrades to it such as replacing the processor with a Core i7 4770, upgrading the RAM to 16 GB, upgrading the HDD with a SSD and the graphics card with a small form factor RX 6400, you could make a reasonably competent Gaming PC!
Schools: we will take this one
Still better than a lot of School PCs
Got like that off facebook market a Packard Bell same form factor , upgraded to 8GB of RAM , SSD , on 775 socket a Quad Core Q6600 , and a GT1030 of 2GB , and it's a pretty decent machine for retro gaming.
how much of a sleeper it can get if it got more of its possible upgrades.
before anything, maintain the CRT it is just a __classic__ touch not to have on a sleeper, as well as the keyboard, since it matches the PC brand wise. upgrade/mod the ball mouse c:
get the possible i5, some random kingston dramless ssd, the might gt1030 ddr5 and ofc 2x8GB of ram and of to the races you go :D
Does anyone think Windows 10 on a CRT is the weirdest thing?
Nope. No one.
I used to run an Optiplex 360 with a 3GHz Core2Duo E8400 and Synergy GT610 2GB GDDR5 as an old runabout PC for some old games, was pretty playable but its time i flip that PC into an XP gaming rig since i've made a successor SFF PC out of my old haswell and pascal computer parts :)
perfect for modern aaa games
This just like my pc lol
me stuck using on this pc
I mean,
could you try a zotac 1650 low profile card? bet it would perk up then.
Amazing review love old tech true legend never forgot 🥰
5:07 -- you should give tiny 10 or 11 a go dude
Edit: oh yeah and win10 and even 11 believe it or not, can activate off win7 keys
eucalyptus oil +3 fps
Cool video. I've just spent three days trying to get an old GT610 working on Debian 12, only to finally have the Debian OS itself tell me support ended at Debian 11......that explains a lot.
I don’t want to use Opera/Opera GX.
Tbh nobody should want to use it, you risk your privacy for some gimmicks
I'd love that Harman Kardon speaker set. Peak Frutiger Aero.
My setup:
CPU: Intel Pentium D
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
RAM: 1GB of DDR2 RAM
Keyboard: Microsoft Internet Keyboard
Mouse: Genius MouseMan iMouse 150
I pretty much only use it for Roblox and fortnite so it works good
This PC can be amazing running Windows XP SP3 and games made until 2003, like The Sims 1, SimCity 3000, Need For Speed Underground 1, GTA III and Vice City, Half Life, Quake III, etc.
My family bought its first real PC as our big gift Christmas 1995. Pentium 1 200 Mhz w/ MMX. It blew my mind, and I was learning to disassemble and modify it almost immediately. It wasn't long before I wanted another PC so we could try and "network" them to play games and communicate together. I went to a giant Expo at DC Armory with my older brother and we cobbled together my first computer for $40 - a beat up Compaq 120 Mhz Pentium, and we networked it together to plan LAN Starcraft, Warcraft, and so many other games. It is absolutely astounding to think back on just how much we accomplished with a tiny amount of money paired with a lot of sweat, busted knuckles, and frustrating. Great memories! Thanks for the video.
OMG half of your videos are ads.
5:28 "Can your gaming computer do this? I didn't think so." - Actually it can. It has an optical drive.
Although I don't think it's what anyone would consider a "gaming computer," it's better than this rig by a mile. It's an Optiplex 3020 SFF with an i5 4590 and a GT 1030 with 16 GB RAM, 1TB SSD and 4TB HDD. And a SATA card to provide 2 more ports so I didn't have to sacrifice the ODD.
Still, it can run slightly older games at 1080p; Jedi Fallen Order runs okay on it, for example. Rocket League, Valorant, etc.
Your not kidding Back in the day it was all Xp 32bit with 3Gb of ram and at least a graphic card with 1Gb video Ram all games ran fine Back then there was no interest in Xp 64bit as there wasn't any benefit for video games and basically no games developed for the 64x platforms. Who would have guessed that it would change so much Windows 7 Era started getting more intensive games leading to needing Windows 7 64x and much more Ram...Now day's many 32 bit games run on windows 10 64Bit minimal best for gaming 16Gb of Ram..I have 32Gb compared to the xp 3Gb it's an impressive leap forward..
I would have loved to see more games tested, like Doom, GTA 5, San Andreas, RCT3, and even Cyberpunk 2077
"Even has Windows 7 installed: How about we install a resource hungry OS?" Well, to be fair system requirements for Win 7 are similar to those for Win 10 Is win 10 resource hungry? Well, kind of, compared to some Linux flavours, but Win 7 was more so for its time. We actually live in a golden age of PC longevity for light, everyday use: windows 10 is perfectly fine for a decade old computer, even a bit older. Imagine 20 yr ago, trying to run XP on a machine from the Win 3.x era, typically a 486 or the very early Pentiums at 60 or 75 Mhz.
Thanks to Windows 11 and it's restrictions you can now buy a fair to middling pc or as I did purchase a new to me motherboard and processor for £45 so I could upgrade my 3rd gen to a 6th gen paired with the 16gb of ddr3 ram 1TB SSD and GTX 10 series graphics card I've been able to get my self a fairly decent mid range gamming PC.
So thanks Windows for acting like Apple because of that better pc's are more affordable and when you stop supporting win 10 we can change over to Linux.
Super video!
And i know it defeat the purpose of this video but...
Drop either a cheap Xeon or i5, a 120 or 250GB SSD for Windows and CSGO, and a low profile RX 550 and you can still get something nice out of it1050/ti
I'd like too see an other challenge with the same set up but a $100 budget on upgrades.
Annnd, now I feel not just old, but *really* old. My first computer was a Speccy, we didn't dream of gb's, we drempt of mb's. See, *really* old!
my pc would run amazing if I had a gpu. I use a dell OptiPlex 7040 sff with 32 gb of ram and, it runs pretty well, except for bigger games. I would have a gpu if I could afford it. :(
I find it weird when people call 20 fps or anything around that “unplayable”. I game on my 8 year old macbook air just fine. Battlefront 2 sort of works with everything turned down and my favourite modern game, Warthunder works really well and is totally playable.
Do you go out periodically to look for PCs laptops Chromebooks gaming systems? I won't question your standards for declaring, certifying what is a gaming PC!
Facebook listing for entry level gaming PCs be like $250, won't accept lowball offers. Also how is that running almost as good as my pc with an ssd and quadro k620. 😂
My Neighbor just gave me this same PC,
Im turning it into a slightly upgraded BATOCERA System for him, I had a Nvidia 710 I threw in there as well
for some strange reason, is faster my mecanical hdd whiz windows 10 in 32gb of ddr4 ram than my 64gb nvme windows 10 drive ._________.
RGB is a waste of electric 🙄 my computer has no RGB! I can't focus with bright flashing lights blinding me when i'm playing games etc. Shut them off on my PS4 controller too flashing lights on my controller sound and rumble bother me 🤬
Hey man love your vids but I’ve been having a issue lately where I can’t get windows 10 On my mac it’s a late 2011 mac 16g ram 500gb ssd and is capable on many things although Even when installing windows 10 on a usb drive and restarting it and trying to boot it up in windows ten it just doesn’t want to work or fails and I’ve been trying to get forza to work on my computer but it just seems impossible to do for me I also heard you have P.O. Box ? Is that true is it possible you can do it for me ?
GT 610 or iGPU is almost the same thing lol,in some cases even the iGPU would outperform the 610. Whoever would actually want to game on it would need a low profile 1050 ti or something similar
Somewhat reminds me of my desktop where I upgraded it from slightly better parts that I had lying around at the time 😂
My biggest gripe is that GTA V while runs better still doesn’t run well enough. Use to be able to run that game no problem but with all those updates it just can’t keep up.
I just fixed up an Acer extensa 5420 laptop…date code says July 12 2007 and it was hardly used as it wouldn’t fully turn on. Come to find out it was the cmos battery as it was dead….the laptop is in almost mint condition and now has windows 7 on it….still doing updates.
This was dumb and I love you for it! :) You know what game this setup would crush? OpenTTD.
upgrading my sff z220 currently it has an i3 3220 and 4 gb of ram i've stumbled upon 4 more gb of ram an i5 3450 aswell as a 2tb hdd. i plan on getting an i7 3770 and the best value gpu i can get my hands on...eventually
That moment when you decide to watch a video from recommended and you're using Opera GX while the video sponsor is Opera GX.
❤i love your every video
And I’m having same CRT monitor likes you showing in the video
Its 23years old but still working Perfectly 😁
I had those speakers for years and they were the best pc speakers I’ve ever had. We got them with a dell dimension 8200 bundle in 2002
