Building Mini PC out of Trash ( Plus Upgrades )
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 11 ส.ค. 2022
- Hi everyone, thank you for 17:54 of your time. In this video I made Mini PC from parts that probably will finish in trash or for recycle, the parts are older but still pretty functional. Also I add some upgrade parts to make the things better. This computer is good for almost all basic things and is good to play some mid range games.

You were an inspiration for me to try and build pcs and repair old hardware. Since 2020, I have helped over 20 family and friends to keep their existing hardware by repairing/upgrading them for free. Rather than purchasing expensive stuff and contributing to e waste.
👍
Jhut bol raha hai na bhai.. sach bol de.. yahan koi hindi nehi samjhega

IDK why it is so satisfying to watch reviving an old PC and cleaning it?
one of the most satisfying channels about tech, no overpriced junks, just pure recycling. love it
Love seeing the heatsink slide after being sanded!
ikr it also happens with flat credit'ish cards when slid over surfaces
Great to see these older parts look brand spankin’ new 🥰👍🫠🤤. Great restoration work once again my man 😇👍. Love your work Andrew
Contenido de Calidad!! Es lindo ver como aun el hardware "viejo" sigue siendo funcional.
Always a relaxing treat to watch your videos Andrew!
This guy can really restore anything related to computers and consoles! Great video!
Loving the ASMR approach, high quality stuff as always m8!
Nah! Seriously this is amazing..
The funny part is that I don't have any of those you are using except that little torch. *I Have It !*
You did that with good TLC! Love it! Hope the system running well long into the future :D
Great build! You could swap out the PSU and HSF for a SFX PSU and a low profile top down cooler and fit case panels on? You could then use those larger parts in a tower build!
It’s very important to reuse things and computers are one of them. Well done, I like very much watching your videos. 👏🏼
Brother, as always excellent videos... it is good to be recursive, with old parts and in this way, promote and take care of the environment giving it life. Greetings from Bogotá, Colombia
Andrew - the magician of computer repair who can give life to an apparently dead computer and make it useful and almost new.
amazing video, repurposing old components is really a great practice
Thank youu bro :)
you are such an inspiration , i adore you mr andrew
Andrew to his girlfriend: "talk to me sensually!"
"96% Isopropyl alcohol" - she whispers carefully.
"Ahhhhh!" - Andrew melts into his pile of PC components.
Great content, as always 😁
I love your videos, repair tips and upgrades on PCs and laptops. My tip is: Wash everything with soap and water (removing the battery) and let it dry for 24 hours. Just vinegar and salt are enough to get the copper and aluminum shiny again in a few minutes. Then use WD40 or corrosion X to protect. I do it here in Brazil and it works well. Try it!
Love your content, great work 👍
Your videos are always inspiring!
Great video love the work you put in to the content
Thanks Andrew!!!
I learned so much from this video. Thank you so much!
this is talent my friend!!! such a pleasure watch your videos!!!
To my eyes,that pc looks supercool.Different is a nice place to be,pc wise.
Super cool build!! Love your videos 😍
Thank you for another very interesting and enjoyable video!
Nice little PC build! I would have personally gone for a case that fits the cooler though, and also I would have had more than 256GB SSD. 256GB isn't much when some games are 100GB+. It is better to have 256GB SSD and then additional HDD.
This setup is definitely a great fit for a dual-boot Windows XP & 10 PC. Granted that the version Windows XP installed is 32-bit one & can only utilize 4GB RAM, but the fact GTX 960 graphics card still has the official (unmodded) driver for XP means most games prior to 2007 can run in 4K resolution or 60 fps in high settings.
Great work.
I love that he didn't cover the damn case. It reminded me of my old hacked PC. ❤️❤️❤️
Great video, I think the cooler is very OP for this build
Greate vid man realy loves it :D
Big inspiration keep up the good work👍👍
Love the new sidepanel
that is the coolest shoebox i ever saw in my life!
this is the kind of video i like from him
At first sight of the CPU cooling fan am like that cool soon you put on am like OMG oversized haha great video love your work
Great video like ever!
love your videos
Nice work as always.
Thank youu bro :D
enjoy your vidieos very educational
your video is as good as always
5:20 "Still need careful work to not [...] drop the cpu" : Linus@LTT has entered the chat
I love it watch this and I think it's nice to build the computer used
bro with love nice work !!!!!!!!!!!!
Your best youtuber in the world. Greetings from finland
🇫🇮🇫🇮🇫🇮
very good video. i love all your video.
I found, some time ago, 2 small size PCs. 1 is an HP Slimline Pavilion, & the other is a Lenovo IdeaCenter mini PC. The HP was a bit on the older side, as it has Win Vista. The Lenovo is more recent, but the previous owners put a screw in the HDD! They put a screw in the CD ROM drive in the HP, thinking it was the HDD! The HP CPU can be upgraded as well as the RAM. Thank you 🤓
I had the exactly same gpu along an I5 6600 and 16gb ram. It can even run RDR2 pretty well. Now I've inherited it to my girlfriend for graphic design. She uses it with an ssd m.2 and still works pretty well.
I liked the cleaning sound uwu
This build would look awesome with another LP cooler and a mesh side panel.
Hello! Great videos 😄. Had one suggestion - can you also mention the prices at which you get the components/laptop, the expenditure you make on it, and the selling prices?
Fan is a word
Fhaan is an emotion
Great build, maybe post some costs of the parts so viewers can see the price of parts new and the used parts too, well done 👍
I thing Noctua Cooling Fan is best for this build slim one .
Nice Build I like it !
Nice video 👍
one more thing to do would be to delid the old cpus since the thermal paste will definitly be bad :) other then that perfectly explained
you are extremally creative! 😊😊👍👍😁😁
when u are making a coffe and get notification from cat and andrew about new video DD
bf3 still looks so good!
That's a cute little PC, something you can put in your bedroom.
Nice, my favourite are sff build. you can replace the cpu cooler to noctua nh l9i so it would fit to that case
Not sure if you standed the heatsink would there be poor mounting pressure considering those are push pin mounted rather than screws. Also, not sure there would be pump out action due to the bare die chipset thermal expansion and contraction during use.
u deserve a sub man! i learned a lot from this video! keep up the good work! :>>
great vid :)
Your “trash” components are better than most PCs I’ve built 😂 love your work, man!
OMG Andrew is bak with one more awsome video... Love you Andrew from INDIA
Nice bro 👍🙂
good job
nice bro
Great job and great restoration, though personally, I would’ve stuck with the intel stock cooler as it’s low profile and makes more sense here. The 3rd gen i5 won’t need much more cooling anyways, if it’s even capable of drawing that much from that little board.
- Professional , keep it up 🦾💯.
Thank youu bro :D
Tfw some of those parts are better than my current build
Very good. It's better that you didn't put music on!
it's been a while I watch your video and I'm still waiting for you to do on a white macbook pro from 2008 it's the only one I have and it stops working but all these elements are good I would really like to have a video how one can turn it into a case for a computer otherwise you're the best keep it up
Hi, can you do a detail video how to properly repair a Intel socket pins? I bent some pins on my LGA1155 motherboard last year and I have been struggling to repair it since.
Also at 8:53, can you share what type of vinegar do you use? How acidic is it?
se que estoy escribiendo esto en español pero me encantan tus videos son buenísimos
Merhaba videolarınızı Türkiye den severek izliyoruz
I just cleaned and re pasted my e3-1220 v3/ r7 260x/ 2x4gb DDR3/480gb ssd/2x1tb HDD :)
nice video
That thermal paste looks like peanut butter XD
Hey Andrew, Hi from Brazil, Guga here, fan for a long long time of your work. I wanna ask your something: Could you play VALORANT on your tests when you are testing old hardware?
I have a question. If I bought an old desktop computer with windows 7 maybe. would it play 1990's and early 200's cd rom games? or do I need an old gaming pc? I did get a few early 200's games to work on a small laptop but they kept on crashing.
There was no reason to use such a large CPU cooler for a 3rd Gen i5. They don't get that hot even over clocked. That was a bit overkill. You did all that great work to clean everything just to leave the side cover off so the massive cooler can suck in all that dust!
This build is perfect for pfsense router. Small and compact. I noticed that it have 2 lan port.
Reminds me of repairing my relatives' PC, i5-661 from a i5-2310 because of a motherboard failure and scavenging another PC for it. Upgraded it to 16GB with a GT1030. Was gonna swap out to a Xeon Processor then few years later, I had some spares from a PC upgrade I did, so now it is kicking an old 650W PSU, i5-9400F, new mobo+RAM+NVMe SSD while reusing the case, HDD.
You did very good job with the cleaning, but that CPU cooler is too overkill for that i5. Use the stock cooler and u can probably close the side panel.
Good video dude! I got a question, how do you know your near ewaste place ?
Cause i dont think i have it in my city
Tbf, that tower cooler is pretty excessive for i5-3330.
I have it for 9 years already with stock intel cooler (with copper core), and it never heats up over 65℃ (even under 100% load in summer). It's very cold, and i like it for this.
Screw he pc under your desk using some L brackets and screws. Use thick elastic bands to absorb movement and therefor noise. Cool build, well instructed. Nice video, thumbs up.
Currently Im building smaller studio for more projects, PC in desk sounds great :D
Looks good but instead of that tower cooler I would have chosen a topblower, even an Arctic Alpine 12 should do the job, it is rated for 95W TDP and the i5-3330 has just 77 or some other like a Alpenföhn Silvretta, Freezer 11 LP or Scythe Shuriken 2 and use acrylic panels that you perforated with a drill for the PSU and Graphics card (or mill some slots, maybe angled instead of straight vertical or horizontal) instead of solid glass panels.
Overall nice build. Repurposing hardware is always a good thing but I wouldn't had sand the chipset cooler or bother with making a I/O shield.
I sanded and polished a chipset cooler before and it does nothing for lowering the temperatures. Thermal past will fill the little tool marks and scratches anyway and these Intel 7 chipsets had a TDP of only ~7 Watt. So at room temperature you could even run the board without the cooler with no disadvantage to its performance or longevity.
I/O shields are good to keep peoples fingers out of the computer but its also used to keep dirt and dust out and guide the air but if you leave the case open anyway I wouldn't have bothered to make one and just leave it.
Exactly, it looks/feels good but doesn't make a real dfference and thermal paste/pads are made for that purpose, because heatspreader/dies and heatsinks aren't perfectly flat/even, it should equalize that.
However I replaced the thin thermal pad with some paste for the PCH heatsink in my LGA 1155 Optiplex 9010.
The CPU cooler it looks like it is sucking some of the PSU heat. Maybe use some protective shield between them?
I’m wondering what do you do with the computers you restore
Sir you are the great please Restoring dell Inspiron 3542 laptop
This "garbage" are better and recent than my actual pc, in which I'm seeing right now this video.
I would use that case for an audio amplifier!
Not only the previous owner applied thermal paste over the thermal pad without mercy, he also used that cheap golden crap that looks like a mix between glitter and mustard. This isn't a PC build, it's a rescue operation.
