#Cheap #Budget #Shortage - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
You are the reason I got into budget builds! I absolutely have a blast building and sourcing parts. Love the blue box! Cheers m8
Started building budget PCs this january, inspired by your videos. Tomorrow it's time for build #4.
Holy crap mate, I can’t believe how much just making this build being visually pleasing made it more like a “I have to have”. Watching your videos after doing my own DIY build I see more of the aesthetics I could have made better on a budget. Good to see you can find these parts for builds.
Hahaha, finding the yes tech mojo again! You’ve literally just made a potato into a something, just like going back to your roots of this channel.... that’s why u feel soooo oddishly proud.
Tech YES Hustle
I just put together a similar system using a Dell Optiplex 9020 MT! Kept the case, added 16 GB of RAM, (24 GB total), added 1 TB WD Blue SSD, kept the 500 GB Seagate 7200 RPM HD, and added an EVGA GT 1050 Ti. The system runs great! Nice and fast after tweaking Windows. The system has an Intel I5 4690. I couldn't be happier!
Nice job! Creep it up man! 👍🏽
Excited for the Windows 10 lite version video.
Great build, great music during build as well... this is giving PC's a new lease of life and surprised it runs so well with GTA5. Superb mate, keep up the good work (UK)
That's the most powerful I/O shield I've ever seen - holy hell!!
- Nice video Yes Man! - great to see this stuff back on the channel
wow another sweet build, Great man
looking forward for more content.
Price/performance.. this is the fire we all need! Love this point of vue in your content! 👨💻
Great Vid. Had the same computer & decided to do the case swap. Turned out great. Couldn't have done it without the guidance from your vid. 👍
Thanks for the video and hope you and yours stay safe will all the bad rain storms and flooding that's happening on the east coast of Australia.
Tanks for made this video It will serve as a guide to improve my Lenovo m93p
The music is one of the reasons why i always come back. :)
I've been wanting to do this with a hp sff that has a i7-2600 in it and you have just given me the Tech YES Approval to do so.
HP? Oh man... I don't want to give you bad news, but the HPs of those generations weren't exactly easy to "transplant", like the Lenovos, they were pretty simple; HP usually uses a different power connector and/or a different motherboard format that doesn't fit regular cases...
@@rhyzon it depends on which hp. I just used an hp ipisb motherboard from whatever pc its from. It has a 24 pin connector and even the proper power button pins. it just needs a work around that involves flashing the bios to get any graphics card newer than gtx 600 series.
@@budbundy2909 he means that the mobo of those hp models are not re-casesable or you cant put the mobo in a regular atx/matx case because of its different form factor.
@@rhyzon You are right about the cases and that was the main reason I didn't do so. It has a BTX motherboard and a BTX case is hard to find that would work for me. I was thinking about making an open air case but never got around to doing so. I never did look into seeing if they make an adapter for a PSU upgrade, which I probably should do.
@@hlbatesjr that's exactly what I meant. And I know that there is an adapter somewhere, there's some people who have done it. But to be perfectly honest, as someone who has used those mobos before: save the CPU, sell the remainder of the system and grab an H61 mobo, it's a lot easier :D.
This build is just fantastic sir!
Spot on video Bryan, just what is needed atm.
That was how i built my first pc 100$ for i7 m93 8gb then upgrade psu and case for 60$ and a hyper 212 for 30$ and r9 380 for 40$ upgraded ram to 16gb for free i think. Brings back the good ol memories
I hope to create some good memories. i am realizing that If I had access to info and advice like I get from youtube, I would have gotten into building PCs a long time ago. I wasn't around people who knew these kinds of things and I myself didn't know. It's a lot of information to take in< I am just learning about GPUs and discovering that I had a chance to build a pc when I was growing up. My Parents worked in government and I used to salvage hard drives from the massive amounts of waste that happens behind the scenes of government IT. I realize that I might have even been able to play any game I wanted to, with some tinkering.
These days I have a family and bills. I am just trying to build a pc to replace my i5 laptop which has its limitations now after 9 years. its a bitter sweet thing because had I been a computer geek, I wouldn't have discovered the things I did.
Used to do this all the time with old workstations! great price/performance!
Dude tech yes . That looks very clean man . Keep it up yo
that's exactly the cpu I'm using
i5 4440 (turbo boost on@3.3ghz🤯)😛
rx570 4gb
8gb dual channel@1600 mhz
msi h81
1tb hdd+500gb hdd+256gb ssd+120gb ssd.
I need to have a lot of operating system maan😅😅
What os's do you run?
Lemme guess, 😅
1Tb for whatever files
500Gb for backups
256Gb for important programs & other OS
120Gb for main OS
"Unobtainium" wow you really made laugh 🤣🤣
For a finishing touch, cut the fan exhaust grille from the old M93 case to cover the hole next to the SFF power supply. Should be able to use double sided tape to secure it, maybe a dab of superglue. If you don't want all the holes, any flat black cutout from the side of the old case will do. The Dremel is your friend!
Nice build, can't wait for the windows 10 custom install. Small hint for the looks, use some shrinkable tube isolation for the wires it will be neat
I dig a good Haswell based price/performance build.
Those chips really hold up nicely.
I got a 1271v3 paired with a gtx 1650 right now that runs like a dream.
Gotta love these builds..😁
The combination you have here is great for all these Esport Games and yes its a great feeling to make something that looks so good for such a low price..I would have gone for the new power supply I have purchased a few of the connectors not just the 14 to 24 but a few of the other ones as well.. I just need to get some cases to convert them over lol.
Keep up man great stuff 💪
Yes. I need that windows 10 lite install video, sounds awesome to help move low ram setups.
I love these builds
I watched this and I love it haha.
I built a machine JUST like this for my friend.
Lenovo M73 Mid Tower i5 4570 motherboard + CPU
Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR3
GTX 960 4GB
PowerSpec 550W PSU 80 Plus bronze + 24 pin to 14 pin adapter
120GB SSD
1TB HDD
DITPY 60 dollar RGB Case plus the 80MM fan from the Lenovo
I replaced the 80mm fan on the CPU Cooler with a blue LED 80MM fan
It looks awesome the whole PC lights up blue
nice and cool build!
Heat Shrink tubing is a wonderful thing...
yeah made me cringe was cheap tape aswell
Must be the Tech Yes Girl
Nice build! I remember once trying to case swap a Acer Veriton 4th gen into a Corsair Obsidian 400D lol it did not go well re: short PSU cables
I love the tech yes man
Love the video, sir. Great looking machine. Very inspiring. :)
Good price on that imagination, truly a Tech YES City deal!
I also take the spare 80MM fan from these PC's and I put them next to the hole from using the OEM PSU as not only a place for the fan to go or a thing to per say fill that spot but the OEM PSU doesnt have a good cooling method so having additional airflow helps
I always get a chuckle when I watch TH-camrs man handle PC components like this. Tearing into it, no antistatic precautions like a grounded strap. Just wonder how many parts they have destroyed with a static discharge without ever knowing what they did. What a hoot.
I like that wavy-curvy design keyboard
Nice build man
youl know what, I like this build :) looks pretty great with the LEDs too!
Perfect, I recognized the PSU, my old 2011 Gateway i3 2100 potato has the same PSU. I've thought about doing the transplant, so it's nice to see one done.
I’m interested in this Secret custom windows install that you’re talking about? Can you explain this a little further I didn’t really understand but I would like to know more about it
All we be answered soon, fellow pirate captain. HEYARRR
@@techyescity do I miss the slowpoke RX 550 4gb in your list
Pirated windows 10 from torrents? Lol
Ameliorated &/ older version perhaps, which also had Windows 10 debloater. We'll see soon enough though. Might be time to flash a new install.
This maybe?

Tech Yes price performance PC is 👌🏻👌🏻 Enjoying this build/episode. Its shows you dont need the latest kit to game. Tech Yes ❤ , makes Components look new👌🏼👌🏼. Thanks Bryan for an awesome channel, I always enjoy ur content 👌🏼👌🏼 and cant wait for next episode to drop. awesome
honest and neutral reviews.
I love these machines for flips!!! I get em for $50 a pop when my buddy gets em in. I actually did a video modding one out, and it was prolly my best work in terms of mods, but they are so much better just popping them into regular sized cases. The only thing you need to do is buy the 24-14 ATX Power Supply Adapter, but they're like $8 bucks on Ebay.
You, Tech Yes Man, are the Robin Hood of PC-gaming!
i hope the Win10 lite tutorial comes out as soon as possible since i just finishing my first build. I know nobody asked but its budget xeon pc. Thanks Bryan for bringing the best of xeons to us.
Nice build im aiming to build like that nice vid brian. And hoping for the windows 10 lite.
awesome dude. giving me ideas!
You just saved me a cooler with the temp sensor thing :)
These are great! I picked up it's older cousin - an M91p - for free. Nice thing about those is, they use standard ATX power connections (although the sff PSU is very meh - 230w). All the RAM was bad, but the board was solid and of course a 2nd gen i5...put it in a Musetex case with a GTX760 and until recently when I got a 4th gen Optiplex tower with 8gb, it was my streaming PC.
looking forward to that windows lite video!
The TECH YES MAN IS BACK!
YES! THACK YOU FOR CASE SWAP
We need more of case swaps
Great video I’m gonna order and make one too since it’s impossible to build a high powered one
My budget build Esports gaming PC parts came in today for a build I'm doing for my buddy. It'll be his first one. $654 but that price includes a 24" 75Hz monitor and peripherals, 16GB OLOy RAM, ASRock A320, 120GB M.2 SSD for boot drive, 1TB BarraCuda for mass storage, AeroCool Cylon RGB Mid Tower, Apevia CAPTAIN550 ATX PSU, and of course a Ryzen 3 2200G until GPUs come down. Holding my new ones like gold and this will crush CSGO and Valorant for now.
I literally built an sold a system with this exact motherboard and an i5-4460 this week. Even used blue LED fans just like you... used a three pin fan splitter to extend to the molex-powered fan and get rid of that boot error screen. Paired it with a GTX 770, similar build cost, sold for $500. This is the third time that you've uploaded of a video of a system nearly identical to a system I've recently flipped. I even picked up the OC version of that exact GTX 1050 TI last week, sadly for a much steeper $120, but in this market I'll take it.
nvm I guess it was an HP but still..
Looks good Bryan.
I would have changed the power supply personally... or at least covered the hole in the back of the case.
Cheers, Mon from Brisbane
Love me some light Windows.
2yrs ago I put an SSD and a GTX 1060 3Gb card in a HP Z220 that I got for$100 on ebay that has the 2nd fastest i5 for its generation, and it still does great for 1080p gaming.
Love this👍🏻👍🏻 Im new at this, I have the i7 4770 version SFF of this Lenovo. Should be the same process right? If I will change my psu, which one should I get for the rgb to work directly?
The green motherboard is retro awesome.
Yay! green is the new black.
four usd on ali express will also buy a sff power supply cover which will fill out the psu slot if you use a small form factor psu from a pre build. Used your tip on the v3 xeon to build a rig for 300 usd for a family member surprised only took 10 days for the parts to arrive from china. Thought i got hosed on the graphics card however a change of thermal paste and fresh driver install and its working just fine. 660 ti boost for 35 pounds about 50 usd.
Did a i5 2500 build with an rx560. Love doing these and was amazing performance for the money.
Finally something I can afford!
The vibe is here boys!
I love that the 1050ti was on the verge of death after the 30 series was released but because of the 30 series, it's had a resurgence.
This was so cool! Any original idea for covering the gap left out by the TFX PSU? I was wondering that it would be quite the dust trap otherwise.
I did the same thing with an old refurbished Lenovo. I swapped out the case, bumped up the RAM to 16GB (DDR3 1333), installed a Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB, installed a new LED CPU fan, and installed two SSDs (512GB Win 10 and 240GB Garuda Linux).
i cant beleive that back in 2016 the go-to budget GPU was a 1050ti and in 2021, its right up there again it makes me feel lucky to have my 1660
I recently purchase a couple of the casecom case/psu combination and have used them on low budget builds and found them to work well.$64 aud for the case and psu , the case has 2 blue LED fans in the front but the unfortunate part is it will only take a 92/80 m fan at the back which is disappointing from the aesthetic side of things and 80 nm fans are noisy too. The psu in the case was a 550 watt and I have spoken to some people in the industry who have said that they don't get many issues from the 550 w psu regarding warranty returns etc etc .
I upgraded my i3-4340 to an E3 1271v3 ( equivalent to an i7 4790) and it’s made an amazing difference. I’m still stuck with a 1050 2GB, but I’m honestly surprised how much better my performance has been with this upgrade.
Best Video in a longer Time imo - great pace, superb Music, great quality. A really Tech Yes originals Vid :D (Whats the track played min. 14:10?)
Hey bro, for a bit of flare, you should check out those really cheap rgb ram heatsinks. I throw them in my budget resells all the time and it makes the pc look sooooo much better
Love the greg Salazar callout lol
Tech yes I luv u dude ur my kind of hustler
That ssd casing had me cracked up lol
Sweet build! Heat shrink would be a better option for those molex connectors though.. extreme budget doesn't allow that I suppose 😂
I wish there would be a way to re-case a HP 8200 elite sff just like this one and give it another new life.. nice video!
This build is in the true spirit of yourself and the channel. Is there anyone in Brisbane with a e-waste yard that can hook you up with a truck full of Business machines?
Good to see a budget built on this situation
yeah prices are over the roof i cant believe what im seeing trust me be happy if you find a gt 710 for under a 200$ xd
Yeah my cpu and gpu pair is i5 4590 and 1050ti
Rocking in most of the games recent AAA titles 60+ FPS and with custom setting 1080p a decent gaming performance valorant, war zone, apex legend, gta 5, nfs payback, rage2, battlefield 1, shadow of tomb raider
War zone occupies 100% cpu utility needs more hyper threads or higher clock speed I guess
My current "gaming pc" have i5 4570, 8gb ram and 1050ti LP in mini ITX case. Not much, but I love this little guy 😁🤘
Which one is better in your thoughts ryzen 5 3400 g pc or this one on a vedio
@@StrangerDanger352 that shouldn't even be a question, ryzen is better in every way but more expensive
Great stuff bro. Question, I have a lenovo m93p small form factor which I bought used also on ebay and added 16gb ram, ssd, and a gt 1030. I have an r9 380x in the closet collecting dust, was wondering if I can get a micro atx case and a 550w psu and just transfer the mobo to the new case? I read about people having no luck with amd r9 series cards on these lenovo sharkbay motherboards, something about getting no display output etc. Do you know anything about that? Would save me huge headaches to know for sure before I start dismantling things lol thx man
Tech YES City: Now with New Metas! From the man that brought you Tech YES loving and Tech Yes City: Price/Performance/Aesthetic ... coming to another YT channel soon as they can adopt it...
Lenovo proprietary header sucks. Wish I had known about it before I did my re-casing. Great work!
New grilfriend in the background ? :)
Noticed that lol
she needs some Tech Yes lovin too ;)
@@Sonu666 legend
Nowadays man can consider a PC his girlfriend. Oh the chick? She was just buying a PC ;)
@@techyescity what is the track you used at the beginning of your vid?????
Nice going with that build. Have you ever tried and succeeded at a Dell Optiplex 9020 Small Form Factor case transplant like you did with that Lenovo? I have so many of these that clients threw out and it would be great to see if these could be made into gaming PCs.
I love OEM gaming rigs.
Beating the hell out of the I/O shield that slides to the side to remove it
The CPU CLEANER! I ALWAYS FORGET THAT PART!
For $65 I got the same thing except it came with: i5 4570, 16gb crucial ram, 250gb ssd, and r7 240 2gb. Really good value for money, considering that it could be easily flipped as an esports gaming pc.
This was SO awesome! I tried modding my pc the same way and it worked so well! I also had access to lower priced parts, and the pc still works perfectly!😄
Epic green PCB brings calm to my mind
You should explain the incompatibilities, e.g., between the Lenovo motherboard and the standard case, in more detail. THAT is essential information that would make viewers want to watch your videos more.
I got a Dell optiplex 9010 sff with an i7-3770, 1tb HDD and 8 gigs of ram for $155 AUD including postage, banger of a deal. Paired with a MSI GT 1030 and it's a great low budget gaming PC
The limitations that you had with the Power Supply is something that ultimately reminds me of my present situation: Now, at some point, I intend to fully upgrade the inside of my Hewlett~Packard Pavilion 590-p0057c (Intel 8400, AMD RX Lexa (02 GB), and 02x08 GB of DDR IV at 2666) to make use of an Intel 9900 (No Suffix), 02x0I6 GB of DDR IV at 2666 MHz or better, and a Mini ITX (Single Fan) variant of the RTX 3060 or 3060 Ti (MSI Aero ITX, Palit StormX, or Gainward Pegasus); this will become my system for playing Raytraced titles while I have another one of my eventual Sleeper PCs do the broadcasting, allowing for a near~Bottleneck Free experience while running only in Standard HD (0720p) at Max Presets.
There is one major problem with me trying to build this though: Hewlett~Packard's Lincs 843B motherboard has Proprietary cables in its 03I0 Watt Power Supply that is provided with this system, most notorious of them being a 04 Pin Power Connector that has a noticeably different Shape Layout than the 04 Pin Connectors that you see on more traditional Power Supplies that bear the usual 020+04 Pin setup; I have looked above and beyond to find a 024 Pin to 04 Pin Adapter that was built specially for Hewlett~Packard's Pavilion "590" Series, no known type of adapter presently exists on the market and this is the biggest handicap that I will have going into doing this particular build, as this would mean that putting in even a 3060 would be impossible and I would be forced to go with a Low Profile (075 Watt) card, be it the Gigabyte GTX 1650: Low Profile (GDDR VI Variant) or the upcoming RTX 3050: Low Profile.
Given my dilemma, and also since I already know which type of Power Supplies are able to fit into the Pavilion "590" Series' case, would you happen to know of any companies that develop special adapters to make workarounds for prebuilds with very unique proprietary parts?
Changing out the motherboard and simply rebuilding the inside from scratch, while easier to do, is sadly a No Go for this project if I retain the Lincs 843B instead, as the Front I/O is integrated onto the motherboard and many of my main peripherals (Speakers, Keyboard, Chargers, and more) are all being used from the front of the case due to my room's layout, and there is no unique Vertical Hub I could get for it if I went for another board (the order of the slots from Top to Bottom is the Speaker Jack, SD Card Slot, USB 02.00: Type A, USB 02.00: Type A, and USB: Type C); this will be one of the biggest building challenges that I will have, the lack of a 024 to 04 Pin Adapter is the only thing holding me back on this board and worst case scenario is that I'll have to go Dual PSU to handle the CPU and Graphics Card while the HP PSU handles the board and Disk Storage, I don't expect to do this but it is a gamble I'm willing to take if it will allow the upgrade to work more effectively.
I have done many such conversions of the Lenovo M series. 3rd gen-4th gen. I have never seen a M series with two ram slots ( the Tiny is the exception) , but I have seen a E73 with 2 ram slots. I think you have a E73 there
@tech_yes_city you might be able to 3D print a bracket for the psu, maybe even have a fan mounted in the empty space
Why u do not change the termal paste from the motherboard’s chipset? Great work by the way
