When he started telling what he was about to do with the spray paint I was like, oh no, this is gonna get bad, but BOY WAS I WRONG, this is probably the first paintjob I watch on youtube that ended up THAT FREAKING GOOD.

Very nice restore! (as I stare at my own M17x R4 with inspiration) I cleaned it up when I got it just over a year ago, but I did not go this in depth with it. I didn't even know about the other card slot next to the touch pad until I watched your video!! These laptops are truly a treasure that I've been very fortunate to enjoy so far.
Thank youu :D btw these laptops can easily beat many new laptops, especially are great because are easy to maintain and repair/change parts, something that I really miss in the newer models
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew They really are easy and so adaptable. I got mine for a steal and I'm never letting it go lol I'm considering a paint job as you did with this one, as my only issue is the finish on it. It attracts everything and is a little difficult to keep clean and not feel sticky afterwards. That's probably it's only downside for me.
@@jessiegutowski316 Actually cleaning to this paint job goes easy using brush, but yes if the paint job isn't done properly, or done less smoother then will be harder to clean especially with some fabric
@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew oh, my apologies. I wasn't meaning the paint job you did. That is fantastic. I was talking about the original rubber finish. I'm not sure they thought that through very well when they decided to design it that way. While it looks cool, it's not very easy to maintain and seems to attract everything. I've yet to find something that doesn't prevent it from becoming sticky afterwards. I was thinking of trying to use your method of removing it.
I mean it depends on why you are doing it, there is no way in hell I ever am doing that to my laptop especially because as this guy said, these are very small, very fragile, delicate parts that even one transistor gets chipped off with that paint brush you're fucked. And you're probably not even gonna realize you did it either you're just going to put it back together and suddenly get a bluescreen for no obvious reason. This is why I don't fix what isn't broken in a computer. I mean I'm not gonna see it and the dust does not affect performance or longevity whatsoever in most of those places so it's just gonna slowly fill with dust over the next two years until I open it up and decide to clean it again. This is really more the kind of thing that you do for a client tbh. And if it's for a Client I mean he did a damn good job of it, I'm, it's just....you brushed the CPU pins dude. I have never ever seen anyone do that, and for obvious reason. Clean like you had coffee not crystal meth.
For anybody wondering, "nail polish remover" he mentions @ 13:47 is also known as: acetone. Also the special paint he uses on the case @ 15:00 to give it that texture; I did not hear what he called it, but in the USA this is sometimes called a "crackle" finish; and spray paint to do it is available (I'm pretty sure)
Beautifully done!! I love that you made an outdated system FULLY usable, and yeah 2gb for an nvideo GPU is sufficient for most games to play beautifully, I just wouldn't set games like GTA V to max graphics. Still respectful specs and I bet it runs smooth as silk!

@@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew Dude, we literally have desktop gpu's and cpu's in a laptop. Even budget one's. Laptops today shit on the older one's by a massive mile. My laptop's own gtx 1050 4gb clocks to 2ghz via tuning. I oc'd its memory to 4333mhz. Straight up got a 8-10fps boost in games. And this is still bottlenecked a bit due to display not being connected to the gpu directly. And the cpu and ram. My cpu is a i5 7300hq clocked to a 3.1ghz. Using 20w to hit that under 100% load. Its a legion y520, a laptop with average cooling. And costed $800 outside US. Similar laptop's went for $700ish or even lower. Hell there in black Friday for $800 got you a 3gb 1060 and i5 6300hq. Thats massively powerful. And literally was cheaper than building a desktop with similar horsepower. And nowadays you can get a cheap ryzen 5 4600h and gtx 1650 gddr6 laptop. That is basically a desktop ryzen 5 3600 + rx570 4gb. Dude, laptops literally get better gpu's than desktop's sometimes. Like the 4gb 1050, 3gb 1060, 4gb 1650, 1070.

Sir, thank you for this video. I was thinking about restoring this exact laptop and your video popped up on my search feed. Now I know there is hope and not looking spending money on another laptop. You are my hero.
i have that exact laptop. i gave it to my wife when her old one went kapoot because i had my heart set on building another pc. it ran VR when the oculus was selling development kits flawlessly. the amount of inputs it has is crazy. hdmi in and out, 3 headphone jacks, 4 usb slots, sd card reader etc... i originally payed 2500$ for it new so you getting it for 200 euros is a steal. great vid.
I have seen many restorations on many things but watching someone restore a laptop is something i've never seen before and to my surprise it was quite amazing.
Great restoration effort, loved your video! Not a fan of the speaker repair, but that paint job is just superb! Many painted things (that were not painted originally) tend to look badly done, but you made this look pretty awesome!
The fact that I'm currently using this machine for my daily driver as a programmer, 7 years down the road, this machine does last! With proper care ofc.
I still have my M17X R2 that I bought off an owner that bricked the alienfx chip on the motherboard (which means none of the alienfx/LEDs work and requires motherboard replacement to fix, which I did). It also had a broken power supply and over time I ended up upgrading the CPU + GPU + RAM + Disks, to this day it's an absolute beast considering it's age. I love this series of laptops.
I rebuilt an M18x R2, basically the same machine, slightly larger display with anodized aluminum case. Dell designed the internals quite well for rebuild/upgrade. I prefer Methyl Hydrate over Isopropanol, leaves no residue. The rubberized coating on the plastic was sticky because it was used/stored somewhere there was heavy smoking, dealt with this on numerous devices with that coating, no smoking and it doesn't decompose the coating, smoking heavily decomposes it. your only option to fix it is the one you chose or buy new bezels. you did an awesome job on the new finish, looks sharp! You have a scuff on your screen, I have a few, they can be fixed, it can get hairy in that area though. I was going to polish mine but i couldn't figure out if the screen lens was Lucite, or if its Acrylic. both use different cutting compounds and the wrong use will permanently destroy the finish so I didn't touch it but the marks on the lens of my machine still bug me.
Thank you bro, btw the M18x have better case, but however I like the booth. The glass over the screen have some scratches but I order anti-glare screen protector, that will cover all that, plus I'm not really big fan to glossy displays because of the reflection over day or under light
I myself have been using this laptop for 4 years and have upgraded the components ( i7 3940XM, GTX880M 8GB, DDR3 CORSAIR VENGEANCE 24GB ) I think this is the best gaming laptop in design and practicality that has ever been invented.
I rebuild and restore older Alienware laptops like this as a hobby. I’ve done a bunch of paint resprays on them so it’s good to see someone else with the same passion. Recently finished a gloss white M17x R4. Head to the Laptop Modification Forum at NotebookReview to take a look ;)
I really enjoyed your restoration project man. That’s a beautiful Alienware laptop. I still personally enjoyed my own gaming laptop which is a 2018 Dell G7 7688 with an i7 8th Gen and a GTX 1060 Max-Q with 16GB of Ram.
Amazing video! Great work on restoring a nice laptop! I myself like restoring old laptops and electronics as well, bringing them back to life. So you could say this video was somewhat inspirational. 👍 I just picked up an R3 of pretty much the same laptop, but with a 120hz 3D capable screen and a Blu-Ray drive. With all the connectivity options, this laptop is pretty amazing.
If I were to do this reassembly, have to rewind the video a thousand times to check next component to mount and at the end still have a few screws left. Great work. Regards.
Your cutting mat brought back memories! That what I used in elementary and middle schools back in Taiwan. Never thought I'd see them again, let alone on YT.
I bought the GTX 980M (found one about 160€) and belive me, it makes a HUGE difference in performance with the i7 3840qm and 32Gb of RAM, totally recommended ;)
GTX980M will be great but any legit and good is about 240-250 euros plus deleivery, customs and vat, that will be over 350 :D in the future I will upgrade to 980, but for now is too much for that :D
I saw you use the same paint finish on another laptop in another video. I have to say, I think it looks even BETTER on this laptop. Super well done man! You post some high-quality content, that's for sure. By the way, I see you're up to 300k subscribers. Congrats!
I really liked the work you have done but the best is absolutely the paint job, if you ask me. That paint effect is awesome, I'll try it on my PC case.
I know how to make minor upgrades to laptops but man I am not brave enough to fully take apart a laptop like that! I wish I knew how to do that but I’m just too afraid that I won’t remember where each part goes when I have to assemble it back again. Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
