- This Mesh gaming system was built nearly a decade ago, used for a year or so and then put into storage until I bought it a couple of days ago. What lays within this time capsule of components, and does it still work after all these years out of action?
Well let's open it up , clean it up and take an in depth look at what's inside!
Thanks for watching :)

minecraft: can't run at all
cysis: you bet it can, no stutter
Typical Nvidia unpredictable :P
Michael _Howto&tech
Minecraft is much more cpu entensive than graphics entensive if you run minecraft on a 1080 with an i5 8400
It will have almost fps as running with a 1050 using the same cpu
I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 and mincraft always ran great, it's probably a RAM issue or GPU
yeah those stutters, i think the machine isn't working properly
no the stutter is because minecraft uses 1.5gb of ram and windows 7 uses like 1gb and this system only has 2gb of ram so yeah
Zurc not really, minecraft uses, or did use 512mb. Still 2gb filling the ram, but windows 7 can survive on 1gb of ram. (I've had a laptop like that with 1gb of ram and it was OK performance). Although his recording software might be causing some stutters also
The 2gigs of ram is killing it :/
Yeah, I think the overlay said the PC was using 6-ish% of its CPU power in Mafia... :/
My pc has 2gb ram...
I could max out Mafia at 1600x1200... With a Ti4200, so this card can max out it at 1080p for sure. Anyways, for this comp I'd just stick with WinXP.

Don't mind long videos??? I love them!
I don't

This would be a fun system to "max out". Max ram, max cpu, max gpu, ssd, proper fans. Push that Mobo and case for all they are worth!
NewWorld9 Core2 Extreme QX9650, 8 GB DDR2, GTX 1050TI (Not sure if it can handle it, even with oc), PSU at least 450W quality, SSD any type, fans etc. I wonder if it would work
I would love to see, old hardware show what it can really do. would be a sweet build. Maybe a benchmark video to see which card would be the fastest feasible for this CPU.
Max GPU? Na, sli 7900s
Somogyi Norbert yes but with a 1080ti, see what it can actually do!
I think the core 2 quad qx9770 and gtx 1060 will be cool
Wow that pc runs games just like a MacBook lol
No a MacBook would run it better I had a mackbook from the same time 2.33 ghz core 2 duo Radeon x1600 mobility 3gb ram San Andreas and Minecraft ran wayyyyyy better the ram is a big bottle neck I think

15 even 20 minues wouldnt be a problem for me m8 if im watching your video its all the way :) keep up the good work brother
8:27 What a hell... I remember when I had Athlon 3500+ 2,2ghz, 512MB ram, 7600gt 128mb in 2005 that I could run Mafia on max without problems.
Yeah, something is off. Same for morrowind. It should be able to run oblivion with ease.
Mojo he installed 64bit windows with 2 gigs of ram, that could be the reason for the stuttering
its quite amazing too look back at computers i can do more stuff on my £70 widows tablet who would of thought that back then
*widows*
**would of**
Quality over quantity
NEVER underestimate the power of a good cleaning. I recently dusted out an office machine that was taking upwards of 5 minutes just to open Outlook directly after logging in with nothing else open. After cleaning, Outlook happily opened in as little as 17 seconds.
Dell optiplex is my go to gaming machine it can max out any game
I would really love to see how good it runs with the fastest/most ram the Motherboard/cpu can take.
Would be interesting, how much of a performance difference it would make.
I think that would be 8 GB of DDR2 with max 800 Mhz Clock (because of the MB)
Finally longer videos are here! Bro this kind of content REQUIRES longer videos.
Why don't you try to install a performance mod for Minecraft called: "Optifine"? You can play MC even on a Pentium 4 Machine no problem with 30fps no lag.
xX_SpeedyScout_Xx I got minecraft 1.11 runnimg on a 2GHz Athlon XP system using optifine and a 8×8 texture pack. Newer Versions refused to start due to the fact that I wasn't able to install Java 8...
Athlon XP legendary cpu
TheSilentj Studios, I think he should use optifine. His audience aren't the kind to not use Forge & Optifine, and possibly shaders.
Talvisota when I first played Minecraft 1.5.1 I was 11 years old. I am not sure if I already had a Core 2 Duo based system or if it was still my first pc, a Pentium 4 PC from Aldi. And it didn't run very good and I had no idea what framerates are or that there are graphics settings. I dont even know if I was running windows 7 or xp at that time.
Maybe because he doesn't actually _play_ minecraft, and rather just runs it just as a performance metric?
Dude... I think I speak for all of us when I say, nobody is going to mind longer videos :) I would LOVE if you made longer videos!! There are lots of tech channels out there, but your's is my favourite. You excellently pair nostalgia and computer peripherals, and your voice and personality are perfect for speaking. Keep up the great work my friend!
As long as your videos are still good quality I don't care how long they are (within reason ofcourse)
you're a true hero saving old pc's and pc parts. i tip my hat to you good sir
yey finally my graphics card is better than that one
what is ur gpu ?
Tsuyu gtx 1050 :(
@@zeno4097 not bad dude , it stay a Good gpu
@Ryder ow damn... but u still can play gt SA
@Ryder I can play these games for 100fps+
Brings back memories, First "highperformance" system i bought, was a 7900gtx paired with a e6300 dual core and 2x1gb ram - running on an asus commando (what a fucking board)
Thank you man, it's always fun to take a trip down memory lane!
I do prefer the longer videos! Although the general quality of your videos is pretty high, so, y'know, whatever man, keep it up
Old dusty PCs are the most to work on it's just too much fun using an air compressor outside and making dust bunnies everywhere haha. Congrats on almost reaching 250k subscribers mate well deserved.
Still better than a PS3 I repaired. Every square inch was filled with dust, yet it still worked before cleaning. It ran for about 5 minutes before the fan ramped up to 100% and then I used it for about 15 minutes longer. I didn't fancy carrying on, but it was pretty impressive when the PSU had a coating of dust on it and thick clumps on the coils.
Mind them? Every video form you is breath taking! And it's incredibly enjoyable!

Gives a significant boost of speed
I swear that the fact that you have excellent editing skills, (yes I'm talking about 0:40) actually makes your videos even more entertaining, it kind of sets you apart xD
I havent been turned on in 10 years.
LOL :))
BB Ki Vines be like
Ohhhh Yeaaaahhhh
I actually really like your content. I am never angry for the thumbnails, cause they always represent about what the video will

I rescued a fullsized gaming desktop for $50 and has an Asus P5E3 Deluxe Motherboard, Core 2 Quad Q6600, 1GB DDR3 Ram but already had 8GB Kit, and a GeForce 9600 GT. Dude bolted the cooler to the motherboard with way to much thermal paste. I got it all cleaned up with new ram, CPU cooler, and a new GPU(Zotac GTX 550 Ti AMP!). Running nice now.
I still have an E6700, with a GTX 650ti, and it can still handle modern games with ease. But I am looking forward to buy a Dell Optiplex with an I7 2600 to upgrade it.
I've built an Optiplex 390 SFF comp from mostly scrapped parts with an i7 2600 and GTX660 2Gb (CPU was about €40 and GPU about €20), works quite nice but I haven't had the time to push it with games (the GPU is bottlenecking the CPU though)
Holy crap! I've followed you for a while and just realised you're on 219k subs now?! Very deserved!
Gaming pc for 1000$ with a CORE 2 DUO, what an amazing deal
I had an E6600 machine back in the day... Actually I still kind of have it, although it's been partly gutted and what is left is stored in my parents' basement. It was among the very first wave of Core 2 CPUs. A fine vintage.
The CPU ain't half bad, but that GPU is garbage
Steve Martino I've used a Nvidia 7300 gt 256mb till 2013
Piotr Romasz I still have a 7300 gt in use until I can find drivers for my mac pro tower.
Drivers for a hd6450, that is. And even that's not that great of an upgrade, but at least it has 2gb of vram
shiny missingno mine one busted into flames
shiny missingno 9800gt was so bad that i can't even imagine 7300 gt in my life
You crack on lad. I enjoy your videos and have learned from you. Thanks mate.
The original mafia
That’s how mafia works
2009 were good times... i was only 7 years old back than but had a gtx 260, 4 gigs of ram and some amd athlon cpu inside my pc i got for my birthday
As long as the video is to the point it's perfectly ok if it's a 10 or 11 minute or even 20 minute video it's absolutely fine,I myself a computer enthusiast and like to fix old computers and I really enjoyed your video👍.please do make videos like these in future.
I built my first gaming computer off that board! Back in 2008, an e8400, 4gb of ram, 500gb WD black, and a geforce 9800gt. I still remember the final price with the case and monitor, $1255.33 lol
hi dude love the channel. Keep up the great work.
your content tends to have a dramatic increase in quality over time for you, you should take advantage of that and continue with videos like this :)
I actually love the longer videos.
I like it when you do longer videos but a bit less often.
I would love to have that machine still lots of potential
I love longer videos, please make more!
I'd love to see what you can upgrade this thing to and further see if you can get recent Trip-A titles running decently.
Longer vids have been great, always love the content. Also super jelly of that motherboard, that'd suit my spare Q6600 rig just fine.
Literally no one:

LETS SEE HOW THIS 10 YEAR OLD PC DOES IN A FEW GAEYMES
adam barrs actually I want to see how it does in games :L
Yea so do I mate
I prefer longer videos because it gives more to explain findings or cover anything weird that happened during tests etc
Youre gonna love this one.. my radeon 5870 was grinding FOR YEARS. Never could understand it... today i opened it up cuz it wad just driving me nuts... turns out i forgot to tighten 2 screws hidden under the jelly pads.... oops? Well 6 years too late, actually im still having to use it anyway... im too poor for anything new.
I prefer these longer videos even if they are less frequent.
Crysis plays better than CS:GO? Wait what!!
Naaah,csgo has better compatabilty than crysis
Crysis ultra setting is more demanding than cs go crysis low is like gta vc graphics
You actually need a good CPU to play CSGO whereas Crysis uses more GPU
After all, CS:GO likes having 6gb of ram to run properly, 4gb is not much better than 2gb of ram to run it but a little surprised that it even ran CS:GO.
If you're going to recommend the use of brushes for cleaning, please explain the significant hazards too (static electricity and electronics don't go together well)!
Keep the long videos going mate, I love them!
btw, I enjoyed this video. Very well done!! great voice overs, and great camerawork. You even threw some nice visuals in there.
I had this card and actually got the Non Redux version of Metro Last light to run. 800x600 with 0.5 SSAA and it ran pretty alright mostly around the 30-35fps range
Loll!! Diawa... Dump it and walk away!!!
It would be interesting if you give this PC the 771 mod treatment! There are conflicting reports regarding the success of the mod in that particular motherboard but if it works then you got a pretty decent platform to max out for cheap! Best regards!
Similar to my old system (e6600 + gt210) I'm now using it as a network storage server and for some simple tasks
I actually really like the longer vids.
The way you handled that cpu id never trust you near my pc eks dee
"I really hate to throw things away, but unfortunately I'm unable to spend a couple of seconds blasting dust of this heat sink"
i have that motherboard it still kicks like new great vids !
Make ur videos 9:59 long ... not 10 or more 😂
Be very careful what kind of a brush you use to clean those pcbs with. Brushing can generate a static charge and potentially fry some delicate components. Also try to always disassemble cpu and gpu coolers to be able to really clean them out. In some cases, when they are really filthy, using a can of compressed air can push all that dust inside the heatsink effectively clogging it. It may look clean on the surface but always make sure you get all the dust out.
longer videos) and more such videos like this one) those are amazing)) thanks for good content)
More of those longer videos, we love them!
You like manchild videos
You should keep the case and make it a "sleeper" PC with amazing specs!
GPU jump to the 8xxx series was significant, for comparison (2006) 7950 GX2 is 48 GFLOPS, (2007) 8800 GTS (G92) is 416 GFLOPS
Dear, RandomGaming I have always loved your videos and have no clue how I haven't subscribed yet, so thank you for consistently uploading videos and sharing useful information! :-)
E6600 nice. Memories from my first pc. It had one too
He says in the video the best way to clean dust etc from computers is cans of compressed air but i wouldn't recommend them due to the liquid that is in the can even when right side up the can still sprays some of it out which can short out components and or the whole system, i see this happen daily when people in offices try to cleanout laptops by spraying it into their laptop via fan vents. i would recommend an air compressor with an Particulate filter water trap separator, they aren't super expensive if you buy small ones even electric ones and will save you money compared to compressed air cans in the long run.
It goes to show you good the last-gen console were when they came out they run games as good or even then this PC that was $1000 when 360 and PS3 were new its quite impressive that it still worked though similar to a console you can get it out of the storage and play
i had the ideas from you of small budget pc,I always connect those small ones to a better monitor and turn on vsync,and it quite works many times :) for fps of course
This could be my 2006 dream pc
Hey would love to see it maxxed to its potential with best the cpu, memory and gpu it can handle. After all the cpu & ram are cheap nowadays.
Your videos are always very good. You bring so many things. Can you make a video on how to upgrade a Dell Inspiron laptop to perform well in gameplay.
D.I.A.W.A Needs to be on a t-shirt like now :-) amazing video by the way as usual
I think you should do these benchmarks again but with more RAM. I want to see what this is absolutely capable of since it looked to be doing pretty well for its age. :)
I enjoy longer videos as theres more in depth content about it though i would enjoy some more fancy editing, would give your videos a nice polish, like possibly an intro n outro title screen etc.
im fine with them please continue
With a little bit of some second hand upgrades and about $200 you can get that thing up and running with new titles like Farcry 5. Right now I'm typing on my core 2 Quad 9550 with 8GB RAM and a GTX 960 and I have a video here on youtube playing Farcry 5 at playable frame rates and 1600x900 high settings (native res of the monitor). Last week I found a bunch of Q9650 for $50 (which I picked one up for a future build) and a few Q9550's for $24. RAM though is a hit and miss on price but 4GB is a good start but 8GB is ideal. Toss a GT 1030 or 1050 and you will be on your way to gaming on a socket 775 with a intel quad 9 series which, almost kind of, hold up to todays standards on windows 10. Hell I was able to play Final Fantasy 15 on this machine.
id really love to see a video of the best APU from AMD's last gen vs the cheapest APU from this gen. :)
Love them keep them like this please we all like them
Yep, in those days e6600 was just as expensive as an i7 today. 2gb ram was a bit more than the cpu. 1300£ is what i payed too, but a 7900gt
Great video as always, appreciate the effort.
That Scania is a beast :v
LGA 771 mod! Xeon x5460 is still respectable with a good overclock.
The top mounted psu and keys is a dead giveaway that this computer days were numbered 8 years ago.
A long beep when booting is most of the time ram. Sometimes it's the cpu but then it are shorter beeps.
Wow, 190W on the 5v and 204W on the 12v - save that PSU for powering a 5v dependent retro rig.
If it wasn't used that much, how did the heatsink acquire a carpet
Im in love with ur accent and content ❤️
I like longer videos, don't worry about it
You might be able to drop a xeon E5450 cpu and overclock it, 8GB of ddr2 800+ mhz ram and a GTX 660 or 760 in here and you will have a sweet budget rig!
I think a mix of video pacing/length would be my preference, but that's highly subjective and only reflects my own personal opinion.
The easiest way to clean these is with compressed air, or even better one of those vacuum cleaners that have a blower + small nozzle.
First vacuum as much as you can then use the blower, mind you you may want to wear a mask or hold your breath since it often looks like a dust storm
Make another video pushing this mobo to the best cpu and best RAM it can take on same gpu or new one and lets see how we could push old things
My old pc was AMD 64 2.3Ghz dual core; 2x2Gb Ram ddr2 800mhz dual chanel; Gt 8800 512mb and I run Tomb Raider Survival 2013 at 720p/75hz on medium with some textures on high. By my fault, 8800gt had problem with ram chips - i replaced gpu with gt 730 4gb ddr5 and still good for 2015 games at HD. OS is XP 32bit.
