- I'm going to show you how I do a case swap on an old office PC and turn it into an amazing budget Gaming PC.
Today the office PC in question is a Lenovo Thinkcentre m93p, which features an i5 4570 processor, sff itx motherboard, 8gb dual channel DDR3 ram, and a 500gb mechanical hard drive.
We're going to be taking the guts of our m93p into a new case (the Golden Field 21+ case, which I give a 4/5 for in my review), along with a new 240gb Kingston SSD, 4gb 1600mhz DDR3 ram, and a green LED case fan. OH, and also an Nvidia EVGA 1050 ti graphics card.
After that we'll check out how this machine performs in some games like Pinball FX3, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Far Cry Primal, The Witcher 3, GTA 5, and Doom. Spoiler alert, it runs great!

This is great. Doing something very similar with my son for his first budget build. I haven’t had a computer apart in 20+ years. Really appreciate this video.
That's awesome! This is hands down the best bang for the buck that you can get in the current market.
Enjoyed your video mate! Hoping to see more of your builds ;)
Thanks buddy! More to come :)
Lmao! Dude your voice, your mini paper notebook and the way you describe the parts are all absolutely adorable.
I really love what you did here, there's no question that you are a smart and creative guy!
Thanks buddy!
Keep em coming man! 👍🏽
Will do buddy!
Your a beautiful person bro thank you for making this build....been years since I had my fingers into a pc of any kind....life kinds got rough for me but blabla me you with this vid just give me ideas for a thro together to get me back into all that is pc tech .....would you say a gigabyte mini or micro mini could work for gaming or would the lenovo would be better for today's builds jw thank you so much
How much space (width) is there on the left of the cpu fan? I want to put a evga 750ti in there horizontal. (by using a Riser cable)
Question: I want to upgrade an old pc I bought a while Back at my parents.
Can I just keep the Power Supply of 180 W then? Cuz people keep telling me to get a better one if I want everything to work, but it seems like you used a 180 W Power Supply in your video just fine if I am not mistaken
what the "easy case" you recommend for to switch from the Lenovo thinkcentre
Hey TechDweeb, this case looks amazing! I can't find anything about it online. Where do you get it? I can't see the review you mention in the other video either. Is that review still online?
Yeah it's a great case. Unfortunately I can't find it anymore. It was available on Amazon. I've bought 6 of them over the past year or so. But it's now gone from amazon so I guess they're all sold out. Hopefully they make it again. With improvements! It's a really nice looking case but it's definitely not without its problems.
very good build ideas
More to come!
Love the video
Nice desk.
in doing this with the 91p soon
Good video, next you should do a PSU upgrade video on this to add a better GPU to the build
Mine has a 550W PSU and a GTX 1070
Oh good idea!
Does the motherboard have a M2 slot? I think I have similar office PC, I can't seem to find a slot and I can't find exact specs online for the board which I think is a Lenovo Sharkbay.
No m.2 on this model
I have the exact same PC im going do do this!!! Looks 1000%!!!!
It's a fun project!
Is liquid cooling supported?
Let me know where to buy adapters for the audio and usb.thanks in advance
Link in the description
great idea can saend me the link to buy the adopter for front connecting
Sure, top link in the video description.
this helped
Glad to hear :)
please, can you tell me what is the form factor of the motherboard?, is m-ATX?
Yup. Matx
I'm going to follow your example bro!!!
awesome
Thanks buddy!
No problem
"Giggle bite"
what is the USB 3.0 header adapter for?
The one linked in the description? That's for adapting the proprietary header on the motherboard to a standard 3.0 header. I didn't use this in the video.
Man are you sick ? I do say i have the same pc and might do this for fun :)
Nope not stick, just perma-dweeb-voice :P. This is actually a great way to breathe life into these old PCs. Any mATX case will do the trick I think. Best of luck!
that's the exact pc that i have
Still going strong 💪
I have same pc but my specs are i5 2500 and ram 4gb can i change it's cabinet pls tell me ?
Yup! That's a standard ATX sized motherboard, you won't have an issue. Although you'll need to use the same PSU because it's proprietary.
@@TechDweeb i want to add aio to new cabinet +total 8gb ram and graphic card 1050ti will installed psu be sufficient for that is there any way to change psu
The included PSU may be enough, hard to say though depending on if the 1050 ti needs external power, or how much juice your AiO needs. If you are upgrading the PSU you'll need an adapter for the motherboard power connection (google "lenovo 14 pin power supply adapter" and you'll find them).
@@TechDweeb thnx for clearing my doubts bro you gained one more subscriber :)
What would be a better case to use
Any mATX case would do, so whatever you think looks good and fits your budget. I did another case swap with a DEEPCOOL Matrexx 30 and it turned out really good.
cool
❤️
Just checked with bottleneck calculator......24.9% cpu is bottlenecked......I too have the same gpu but amd a10 pro 7800 cpu.....it is cpu bottlenecking in older games.....but in the latest games like day's gone(old too).....and cricket 22 games like that....my gpu is at 99% and my cpu is around 70-99%.....don't know what's happening.....i want battlefield 4(multiplayer) to run smooth.....its just at around gpu - 39% and cpu is at 80-99% if any know what prob am i facing.....pls reply asap..!
The i5 4570 is much more powerful than the A10 7800, which is why you're probably getting more CPU bottlenecked than I did with this setup.
BRAZIL THANKS
can i plz buy one pc from you i am a student that wants to play fortnite on it
I wish I could sell you one, but I'm all cleaned out! Sorry buddy.
Tbh you kinda sound like the nerd emoji
