LMAO at me reading the PSU shroud thinking it was the PSU. Oh the joys of looking through a 3" LCD while filming. It's almost as hilarious as my hair in this video. Glad it's chopped off now. XD Stay tuned for Mike's NEW PC build coming soon!!
I know the build is probably already done if not close to being done, but here’s my input for what parts to use for his build. I’m gonna assume he’s got a midrange budget. I59600k Rtx2060KO 700 watt PSU of choice At least one 1tb SSD Case of choice and fans of choice Idk if 1151 mobos have come down in price yet but z390 What’s everyone else thinkin?
Nothing like opening a customers white/silver Dell case & finding a build-up of 4" on the botton. Couldn't even see the HD. Thankfully she wasn't a smoker, so it wasn't all nicotined up.
Or just important files that he doesn't want to lose. If he hasn't been cleaning the dust from his case, he probably wasn't backing up his files either.
HAF-X! I'm still using my HAF-X case to this day, almost a decade since I got it new. I've built, torn down upgraded and rebuild it in the same HAF-X case many times through the years. It's still going strong. One of the great points about this case, aside from it's cooling capacity, is that it's modular, so when panels started started showing signs of age related wear and tear, you could just order a new one direct from CM. Unfortunately though, many parts are no longer being maufactured due to age, so the cost of replacing them is a lot more expensive. I think I'll try to squeeze another few years out of mine before giving it a dignified send-off in favour of a more modern case.
Likewise, still rocking a Factual XL from 14th January 2011.🤘 (only £112.6, similar RAM in the video was £108, and £320 for an OCZ 240GB SSD, wow a BlueRay RW was £54). Just looked up the GPU Radeon R9 270 (used 28nm silicon, damn Intel lol!), plus a i7 2600k 3.4ghz was £265. I only paid £182 for a rx480 8G in June 2016, one hell of a deal! Ah, memories....
my case is about 9 years old, I have Corsair 650D, have built 2 systems in it, 1st was a i7 2600k and now a Ryzen 7 3700X, the only thing that shows its age is the front IO and 5.25 inch drive bays and plastic side panel other than that its still very functional in 2020, i added 5.25inch front panel IO with USB3 and since im not using any DVDs.
I've been using my HAF 932 since 2009, have had to replace two of the 200mm fans, but hey its cheaper then getting another case. I 3D printed a couple SSD adapters for my hdd bays for the case. I have been tempted to get a new case but still haven't gotten around to it.
Dennis Rigdon My PC is 16 years old and it’s been on the floor for all that time. I don’t have enough space on my desk to put the case, so it’s on the floor, and it works just fine. I just go and clean it sometimes.
I clean my PC, but yes, mine is also on the floor, and I'm pretty damn sure it's gonna collect dust no matter where it is. That's just how things are. Things get dusty.
"Mike flakes everywhere" 😂 Definitely emphasizes the importance of regular cleaning but commendable that he went as far as he did with that rig (eight years). Smart move upgrading the video card partway through the computer's life too.
i love these types of videos, do more throwback vids looking at older computer setups. i miss the cathode tubes, flourescent cooling hoses, AGP cards, molex connectors etc. i miss those days D;

@@mufasa744 just to play devils advocate here. if he hasn't upgraded in years, i'm assuming he's not gaming on it just using it as a workhorse, intel still edges out ryzen for gaming performance but ryzen has them beat everywhere else. Which is why for most people Amd is a better option.
@@BoofHoover He said in the video that it was really only used for gaming. AMD and Intel actually trade blows depending on the game (at least when comparing Ryzen 3600 vs i5 9600KF), and that's taking into consideration overclocking. That's why I recently upgraded from my 4670k @ 4.4GHz to a 3600 recently; my first AMD processor in over a decade.
@@TechnoLadz Still cuts it as a gaming cpu though (compared to modern low end cpu's, 3400g for example), would like to see a comparison done with the new gpu installed in it. Also if he uses a new Intel cpu, can't he reuse the cooler?

With the specs of that system, i'm sure he can still play Fortnite or Overwatch with reasonable settings over 60fps. It's not a terrible rig... certainly not cutting edge, but still passable.
I have a similar case (the HAF932) until 3 months back where I rebuild to a new ITX system. I now use this case (and the old components) for my Unraid server. The main issue with this case is due to the high air flow, the dust gets collected really easily and the concept of the dust filter was pretty much absent for that period if my memory serves correctly. I have to clean the case once every 3 to 6 months due to the dust build-up so I'm guessing like me, Mike may start cleaning it every other month but it then becomes a pain and quits after that.
Love the HAF X. I still have and am using mine. Originally housed a 2600K system build in it and is currently my "media server" PC with an 8700K running off the iGPU and about 16-18TB of storage. Main gaming system is now a 3900x cooled by an LTT Edition Noctua NH-D15 Chromax and GTX 1080Ti inside a Lian Li TU150.
pmsl, just found your channel ... I have the same case, similar issues except I had a water cooled twin 680 sli setup & beefier cpu, but basically a similar situation & looking to renew after a water leak killed it 2-3 years ago. Fun and informative channel, thank you.
Lols I thought it was funny when he said I might go ryzen or maybe even intel lmao. It was like saying i might buy an android or maybe an iPhone. You only have the two choices lols.
3 months ago i dont know anything about building pc's but i do like the idea of building one so i binged watch kyles videos and now after i saved up, im watching this from a pc i built with the help of this dude and his twin brotha.....
Built my pc back in 2011, still using it for games today, i7 2600k @ 4.7Ghz, 16GB ddr3 @ 2133mhz, RTX 2060 Super, enjoying my 1080p 60fps gaming lol. Only things ive upgraded were SSD and new GPU. Absolutely love sandy bridge chips! Just starting to toy with idea of upgrading soon...
I'm still using my 2012 rig. I7 3770k, corsair vengeance 16gb ddr3 1600hz, asus p8 z77 v-pro, corsair ax 1200 psu and the deceased (since 3 years ago) a evga gtx 680. So for the last 3 years I use my pc on the integrated gpu... Intel hd 4000 has been putting a heck of a lot of work. Literally my hero. I wish i could had replaced the dead gpu long ago, but money always find other places to be... (I never even manage to buy an ssd as a little upgrade... Don't even know how it's like to have one of those...)
Build his new system, and use the same HAF-X case, but modify it like I did to use it for water cooling! Yes, it can be done with using the 5 1/4 bays with a EK pump/res bay kit and then soft tubing. I used an AlphaCool radiator up top for the video cards, and used an EVGA 120 single for just the CPU. Replaced the Fans with Corsair LL fans. I did this 3 years ago - and I have not been disappointed with this system at all. I wish I could post pics in here, but I'll use this case and setup again once it's time for newer board/cpu/video cards!
My old PC was a HAF-913, 3770k, Asrock Z77 Extreme4 board, Hyper 212, 16GB ram. Ran overclocked for years. It's been re-purposed for school for the kids and runs like a champ. The HAF-913 is a mid tower and still huge :)
As for the cooling goes... I'm gonna be honest here - I'm building PC's since 2000 (so 20 years) and (not now but overall through the years) now my NH-D15's and Dark Rock Pro 4 are laughing at all of your water loops....
Same dude same. I built a custom loop for my cpu and gpu. Next build I got a dark rock pro 4 and triple fan gpu. My pc looks much beefier imo the large cpu cooler just looks too good. Never again with water cooling
I'm still rocking that same case. Your suppose to use the PSU shroud to hide the wires. Not hide the PSU. And something that most people seem to miss with this case, is you can fit a 360mm radiator up top. But you'll have to move that blue ray drive down a slot. Or just get rid of it.
Yammer all you want but old HAF cases are still the most gorgeous cases around. Friggin things look like they take on an M1A2 Abrams and leave nothing but a burning pile of scrap metal behind! Still using my HAF 912 Plus. In 11 years since I got it I pushed 3 different builds through it, and right now I'm in the process of collecting parts for the 4th build. No plans to switch to another case anytime soon.
Thought i was dreaming my baby was behind you. I love this case. New cases just dont look as good. Think i will even reuse my Haf X when i finally upgrade my old girl.
Good luck finding a good motherboard at a good price point right now. Most box stores are empty unless you are lucky to have a Microcenter near by and even then, options are slim. If you don't mind waiting till August delivery, Newegg might have something your looking for. All I know is my motherboard died last week and in order to get a decent board shipped with in a few days, it was SPENDY!
I have just gotten back into desktops with a brand new build. Last time i had a desktop, Pentium D was top tier, and core2duo was only on it's way I feel old with you
@@gumle2003 lol you guys feel old based off of what cpu cooler someone used on their first build? My friend who is 32 built his first computer this year. I was lucky enough to know older cousins into PCs and built mine for my 6th grade graduation. My friend is also couple years older than me. I definitely did not feel "old" when I watched him drop the stock ryzen cooler onto his board.
Holy shit. This was my case before I sold it like a year ago and I even had a same cooler. It was like watching my system. 😂 So surprised to see very similar setup especially the same case considering not many pc users buy high end case and it is old case so surprised to see it on my TH-cam recommendations. This case was an absolute beast. It was high end and could house few graphics card with good cooling. I remember paying good money to it back in the day lol. It is huge case. I was so heartbroken when he said like what back in 2012 and looked down on that case for I/O. 😞 Time fly by. If I haven't sold my system would of been like 8 years old but tbh I wouldn't of changed the case probably since you have newest I/O on motherboards anyways and I doubt new cases has much to offer tbh compared to this one. Of course if you build new system get new case but you don't have to upgrade case imho.
this dude is just overreacting. this pc is still in good condition even after 8 years and many parts can still reused but no need to say stuff like this is worst condition or anything.
Totally my system, bought it used in 2012 and had to upgrade to new parts when the old ones failed. I shoved a 1070 ti into it, still using the 3rd gen i7. Even have the bluray drive.
I built a new system in April, before the shortages started to cause prices to go wonky, with a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. My system before that had a Cooler Master Storm Sniper Black Edition. It's a beast of a case with 3 200mm fans and a 120mm on the back that I'm going to use as a Plex Server since it's quiet and cool. It was nearly identical to this case, just bigger.
If you think that Hyper 212 was dirty, you should've seen the inside of the PSU in my old PC. I swapped the whole 8-year-old build into a new case and thoroughly cleaned everything while it was all apart. Then I decided to open up the PSU to clean it, since I never did anything but wipe off surface dirt. I don't know how it didn't die, or catch fire. You'd think that I had thrown it in a mud hole then wiped the outside clean. And it ran flawlessly like that! Still does. The whole PC still does. It's hooked to the TV it in the living room and the wife is watching TH-cam on it as I type this.
Next video : Building a pc while getting my hair cut Jk jk I love your content thx so much, I’ve watch so much of your videos and you’ve helped me build my first pc thx😁
I still have a HAF-X sitting in my closet. I had that exact Samsung blu-ray drive too! At least the front looked the same. I was rocking a i7-4770k with GTX 970.
So that case is the top end in 2012. I'm still using the Low-end from 2012 (50AUD) :D Lookup Antec x1-T if you want to see it. its got a small acrylic side with an X pattern in mesh on the front.
Hey, I am running an FX-6300 Black edition. Coolermaster 212 Evo. 12 Gb Ram (one of my ram sticks broke) BallitiX 4gb and 8 GB Corsair Vengeance LP. And everything is mounted on my GA-970A-DS3P Gigabyte motherboard. Asus RX460 Dual OC and 1 TB HDD WD blue and a Samsung 850 EVO 500 Gb SSD. And to power everything a Corsair RM750X. And everything is sitting nicely in my Fractal Design Define R6. You can tell which parts I have upgraded. Everything is also cooled by the case fans.
He might not have plugged in the USB3 cable because the HAF had an issue with it. I had one of these cases year ago too and mine went bad for some reason and the USB3 ports would cause the entire PC to not post until it was unplugged. A google search at the time showed it was a relatively common problem.
I have an i7 2600k, with a z67 Extreme 4 Gen 3. I do have a 1060 6gb so I'm not too worried about my GPU, but I am all ready for what you decided to pick, as I will definitely take that into consideration when I upgrade this year!
I'd suggest re-using the case if possible. If it can be done, take out the 5" cage, CLEAN THE HELL OUT OF THE VENTS (those were some stinky vents!!) and go early 2000's sleeper case on it!
When I upgraded from my 4790k rig to a 3700x I recycled my Corsair Carbide Air 540 case I have searched for other cases and other than a Phanteks case no other case can replace the Air 540 in terms of air flow in my mind since the case has a very good front for front intake.

pmsl, just found your channel ... I have the same case, similar issues except I had a water cooled twin 680 sli setup & beefier cpu, but basically a similar situation & looking to renew after a water leak killed it 2-3 years ago. Fun and informative channel, thank you.
Lols I thought it was funny when he said I might go ryzen or maybe even intel lmao. It was like saying i might buy an android or maybe an iPhone. You only have the two choices lols.

3 months ago i dont know anything about building pc's but i do like the idea of building one so i binged watch kyles videos and now after i saved up, im watching this from a pc i built with the help of this dude and his twin brotha.....
You think this is dirty? You should watch TechYesCity, I love what he does!
Ya!
No
Built my pc back in 2011, still using it for games today, i7 2600k @ 4.7Ghz, 16GB ddr3 @ 2133mhz, RTX 2060 Super, enjoying my 1080p 60fps gaming lol. Only things ive upgraded were SSD and new GPU. Absolutely love sandy bridge chips! Just starting to toy with idea of upgrading soon...
"He should have upgraded it way earlier"
Me: *cries in poor and Acer Aspire AX1800*
I'm still using my 2012 rig. I7 3770k, corsair vengeance 16gb ddr3 1600hz, asus p8 z77 v-pro, corsair ax 1200 psu and the deceased (since 3 years ago) a evga gtx 680. So for the last 3 years I use my pc on the integrated gpu... Intel hd 4000 has been putting a heck of a lot of work. Literally my hero. I wish i could had replaced the dead gpu long ago, but money always find other places to be... (I never even manage to buy an ssd as a little upgrade... Don't even know how it's like to have one of those...)
HAH even better, my wifi router runs like a console
Almost 2 million subs man! keep up the great work!

Build his new system, and use the same HAF-X case, but modify it like I did to use it for water cooling!
Yes, it can be done with using the 5 1/4 bays with a EK pump/res bay kit and then soft tubing. I used an AlphaCool radiator up top for the video cards, and used an EVGA 120 single for just the CPU. Replaced the Fans with Corsair LL fans. I did this 3 years ago - and I have not been disappointed with this system at all.
I wish I could post pics in here, but I'll use this case and setup again once it's time for newer board/cpu/video cards!

Yes ikr my gf has swallowed many
My old PC was a HAF-913, 3770k, Asrock Z77 Extreme4 board, Hyper 212, 16GB ram. Ran overclocked for years. It's been re-purposed for school for the kids and runs like a champ. The HAF-913 is a mid tower and still huge :)
This isn't relatable, not in the way you think, I don't clean my PC,
I don't have one... :(
Had us in the first half not gonna lie
Love it...$hould probably put this pc down...you had it right the first time. Wonderful as always keep em coming.
As for the cooling goes... I'm gonna be honest here - I'm building PC's since 2000 (so 20 years) and (not now but overall through the years) now my NH-D15's and Dark Rock Pro 4 are laughing at all of your water loops....
Which loop? My arctic 280 is running at 800 rpm. What's yours doing?
Same dude same. I built a custom loop for my cpu and gpu. Next build I got a dark rock pro 4 and triple fan gpu. My pc looks much beefier imo the large cpu cooler just looks too good. Never again with water cooling
Been building since 2001, after nothing but HSF, all I love my AIO
@@rageofheaven Dissipating heat?
I'm still rocking that same case. Your suppose to use the PSU shroud to hide the wires. Not hide the PSU. And something that most people seem to miss with this case, is you can fit a 360mm radiator up top. But you'll have to move that blue ray drive down a slot. Or just get rid of it.

Im in the athlon club, and who says vega 3 is lame! 16 fps in minecraft on low!
Yammer all you want but old HAF cases are still the most gorgeous cases around. Friggin things look like they take on an M1A2 Abrams and leave nothing but a burning pile of scrap metal behind! Still using my HAF 912 Plus. In 11 years since I got it I pushed 3 different builds through it, and right now I'm in the process of collecting parts for the 4th build. No plans to switch to another case anytime soon.
Thought i was dreaming my baby was behind you. I love this case. New cases just dont look as good. Think i will even reuse my Haf X when i finally upgrade my old girl.
HAF X is actually way more decent case than most of the new RGB TG panel cases.
Function over form FTW.
@@zarmaanful I love it. and i love the look more than any new case also. I dont want no disco pc. mine just has a red glow all time. :-)
@@ukmachinehead do it justice.
@@zarmaanful If the new 3000 series G cards are as big as they saying. They look like they would not fit in most cases. lol
@@ukmachinehead got a PC-A10 here. Don't think gpu size would be an issue.
That sill would be a good case. I have a Cooler Master case but a different one. I have used it for maybe 10 years. No problems at all.
6:47 LYLE!!!
I owned that case for a while and wow it's got a TON of space and doesn't look half bad, but if you don't jam pack it, it looks soooo empty!
Had a Phenom II in my HAF. Like the case alot still. That one is actually newer than mine slightly different.
Had the hyper 212 as well.
2 MIL INCOMING!
Good luck finding a good motherboard at a good price point right now. Most box stores are empty unless you are lucky to have a Microcenter near by and even then, options are slim. If you don't mind waiting till August delivery, Newegg might have something your looking for. All I know is my motherboard died last week and in order to get a decent board shipped with in a few days, it was SPENDY!
Other then Mike needing a PC upgrade, you need to upgrade that hair, looks like you shocked yourself a few times...
Lol
Quarantine Hair i'm sure.
That is A LOT cleaner than I expected for 8 year old system.
2:08 it's... HAF decent lmao don't forget to like and comment thanks for coming to my TED talk
Mike gets a whole new PC from Kyles bits,
Kyle builds a whole new Mike from all the bits of Mike left inside
last time i was this early the pc was in perfect condition lol
"My first custom build had a 212 in it..." Thanks for making me feel old, Kyle.
I have just gotten back into desktops with a brand new build. Last time i had a desktop, Pentium D was top tier, and core2duo was only on it's way
I feel old with you
@@gumle2003 lol you guys feel old based off of what cpu cooler someone used on their first build? My friend who is 32 built his first computer this year. I was lucky enough to know older cousins into PCs and built mine for my 6th grade graduation. My friend is also couple years older than me. I definitely did not feel "old" when I watched him drop the stock ryzen cooler onto his board.
I’m just waiting and reloading the page until 2 mil pops up...
Holy shit. This was my case before I sold it like a year ago and I even had a same cooler. It was like watching my system. 😂 So surprised to see very similar setup especially the same case considering not many pc users buy high end case and it is old case so surprised to see it on my TH-cam recommendations. This case was an absolute beast. It was high end and could house few graphics card with good cooling. I remember paying good money to it back in the day lol. It is huge case. I was so heartbroken when he said like what back in 2012 and looked down on that case for I/O. 😞 Time fly by. If I haven't sold my system would of been like 8 years old but tbh I wouldn't of changed the case probably since you have newest I/O on motherboards anyways and I doubt new cases has much to offer tbh compared to this one. Of course if you build new system get new case but you don't have to upgrade case imho.
this dude is just overreacting. this pc is still in good condition even after 8 years and many parts can still reused but no need to say stuff like this is worst condition or anything.
exactly, he makes his "friend" sound like some dirty tramp, when in reality, the inside of that pc is no different to any other
3D Sound & Music over exaggerated too
Totally my system, bought it used in 2012 and had to upgrade to new parts when the old ones failed. I shoved a 1070 ti into it, still using the 3rd gen i7. Even have the bluray drive.
Wow I'm Early to a Bitwit Video that never happens
I built a new system in April, before the shortages started to cause prices to go wonky, with a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. My system before that had a Cooler Master Storm Sniper Black Edition. It's a beast of a case with 3 200mm fans and a 120mm on the back that I'm going to use as a Plex Server since it's quiet and cool. It was nearly identical to this case, just bigger.

If you think that Hyper 212 was dirty, you should've seen the inside of the PSU in my old PC. I swapped the whole 8-year-old build into a new case and thoroughly cleaned everything while it was all apart. Then I decided to open up the PSU to clean it, since I never did anything but wipe off surface dirt. I don't know how it didn't die, or catch fire. You'd think that I had thrown it in a mud hole then wiped the outside clean. And it ran flawlessly like that! Still does. The whole PC still does. It's hooked to the TV it in the living room and the wife is watching TH-cam on it as I type this.
Next video : Building a pc while getting my hair cut
Jk jk I love your content thx so much, I’ve watch so much of your videos and you’ve helped me build my first pc thx😁
I still have a HAF-X sitting in my closet. I had that exact Samsung blu-ray drive too! At least the front looked the same. I was rocking a i7-4770k with GTX 970.
Hey Kyle, is it time for me to replace my PC?
I have a Dell Latitude with a 3rd Gen i5 with integrated graphics for my everyday everything. Lol
Cant wait to see you build Mike's new PC!
Hey I'm early
So ummmm...
*The Verge Bad?*
I mean, your not wrong.
Don't talk shit about the verge. They'll track you down, tie you up with tweezers and drown you in thermal paste.
I regularly play Blu Ray on Windows, including 3D and since 2018 even ultrawide support with Power DVD.
No issue whatsoever.
wow i'm one of the first i think... there must be a bug
I remember when sandy bridge came out and I was on x58 (which I still have) and everyone loosing their minds about it... now it’s “old”
I am still on X58...
13 min of my life is wasted for nothing.
Refatul Islam watch videos like this a 2x speed
I enjoyed this video, you learn about the future by studying the past. Why is there a stick up your butt bro?
So that case is the top end in 2012. I'm still using the Low-end from 2012 (50AUD) :D Lookup Antec x1-T if you want to see it. its got a small acrylic side with an X pattern in mesh on the front.
OOOOO I'm early XD
I thought I was watching Pimp My PC there for a minute. I was waiting for the plug....lol
Hey, I am running an FX-6300 Black edition. Coolermaster 212 Evo. 12 Gb Ram (one of my ram sticks broke) BallitiX 4gb and 8 GB Corsair Vengeance LP. And everything is mounted on my GA-970A-DS3P Gigabyte motherboard. Asus RX460 Dual OC and 1 TB HDD WD blue and a Samsung 850 EVO 500 Gb SSD. And to power everything a Corsair RM750X. And everything is sitting nicely in my Fractal Design Define R6. You can tell which parts I have upgraded. Everything is also cooled by the case fans.
This hit home as I use the exact same case with my Asus pt6 deluxe, i7 930, 24gb ddr3, 5hdd's, and a 1060 gtx.
He might not have plugged in the USB3 cable because the HAF had an issue with it. I had one of these cases year ago too and mine went bad for some reason and the USB3 ports would cause the entire PC to not post until it was unplugged. A google search at the time showed it was a relatively common problem.
I have very similar build myself. i5-2500k @ 4.2GHz, HD6850 upgraded to GTX950, 8GB RAM... Starting to think about upgrade.
CONGRATS ON 2 MILL DUDE LOVE UUUU
I have an i7 2600k, with a z67 Extreme 4 Gen 3. I do have a 1060 6gb so I'm not too worried about my GPU, but I am all ready for what you decided to pick, as I will definitely take that into consideration when I upgrade this year!
I'd suggest re-using the case if possible. If it can be done, take out the 5" cage, CLEAN THE HELL OUT OF THE VENTS (those were some stinky vents!!) and go early 2000's sleeper case on it!
When I upgraded from my 4790k rig to a 3700x I recycled my Corsair Carbide Air 540 case I have searched for other cases and other than a Phanteks case no other case can replace the Air 540 in terms of air flow in my mind since the case has a very good front for front intake.
