Hard drive enthusiast here, the ones made by Hitachi are amazing, it was IBM that gave the "Deskstar" branding its bad reputation, and since Hitachi still used the name after they acquired IBM's hard drive division in 2003, the bad reputation transferred over and people still called them Deathstars, despite the 75GXP series being the root cause of all the hassle. Not like I'd have a collection of 75GXPs or anything like that, definitely would be quite a terrible idea...

I've got that same rig with a SSD for daily tasks and performs quite well, even tried Fortnite and runs 57 FPS on performance mode.

That's great value computing! I still have those Harmon Kardon HK695 speakers, lol I like the classic beige keyboard and mouse.

Congrats on 260k bro

My current work/gaming rig was built around an old (and buggy) motherboard and a 2nd gen dual core i3. I had to flash the bios to get external video cards working, and I was afraid of bricking the whole thing. But, I was successful, and after flashing the bios, I could install my GTX 750Ti and a 3rd gen quad core i5 to be able to play some games. As I am a vintage gamer of sorts, I could play PS3 era games at high detail level (mostly maxed out) and even some early PS4 gen titles at relatively good looking settings. This rig has been in use for three years now, and it kicks ass for what it is!

I absolutely love these old acer cases. I've made more than a few sleeper pc's with them. The 240w gold psu in these is not to be underestimated , Currently using one with a Ryzen 5600 and a rx6400 low profile for my living room pc.

I wish you a fast recovery!!❤❤

My philosophy is, if you have fun with it, its a gaming PC, i definitely enjoy playing ton of old titles such as Assassin's creed 2, the original GTA trilogy, or even Rollercoaster tycoon. It's much better to play a lot of old games, than investing hundreds of hours in one modern title.

i had that same harmon and kardon system. its sounds pretty damn good since i got it at goodwill.

Hope you have a speedy recovery from the surgery!

My family bought its first real PC as our big gift Christmas 1995. Pentium 1 200 Mhz w/ MMX. It blew my mind, and I was learning to disassemble and modify it almost immediately. It wasn't long before I wanted another PC so we could try and "network" them to play games and communicate together. I went to a giant Expo at DC Armory with my older brother and we cobbled together my first computer for $40 - a beat up Compaq 120 Mhz Pentium, and we networked it together to plan LAN Starcraft, Warcraft, and so many other games. It is absolutely astounding to think back on just how much we accomplished with a tiny amount of money paired with a lot of sweat, busted knuckles, and frustrating. Great memories! Thanks for the video.

We still have ours from the Dell desktop purchase in 2002 and they still sound great!

If you could do a part 2 of this video, you could find some upgrades to it such as replacing the processor with a Core i7 4770, upgrading the RAM to 16 GB, upgrading the HDD with a SSD and the graphics card with a small form factor RX 6400, you could make a reasonably competent Gaming PC!

omg I used to have those exact same speakers ages ago, that brought back some memories!!

Considering the thousands and thousands of games that came in the previous decades, this looks fine to me, especially considering the cost.

Love your videos bro

I used to run an Optiplex 360 with a 3GHz Core2Duo E8400 and Synergy GT610 2GB GDDR5 as an old runabout PC for some old games, was pretty playable but its time i flip that PC into an XP gaming rig since i've made a successor SFF PC out of my old haswell and pascal computer parts :)

Me:looking at sponsor Also me:instantly moving from chrome

Interesting to see it upgraded to the max.

Bumping to Sea Shanty 2 will make me thumbs up ANY Video. Good job

now a video ideia would be to make this a good game pc by spending as little as possible and see how it will peform with modern games

3:04 The best one being a rename of my 11 year old laptop's gpu. Definitely a right beast, that is. Awesome for games such as Red Dead Redemption 2 or Cyberpunk, totally agree.

5:30 That actually almost looks cool! Just need a keyboard and mouse that match the rest of it. 😊

Cool video. I've just spent three days trying to get an old GT610 working on Debian 12, only to finally have the Debian OS itself tell me support ended at Debian 11......that explains a lot.

I'd like too see an other challenge with the same set up but a $100 budget on upgrades.

Got like that off facebook market a Packard Bell same form factor , upgraded to 8GB of RAM , SSD , on 775 socket a Quad Core Q6600 , and a GT1030 of 2GB , and it's a pretty decent machine for retro gaming.

actually quite impressive =)

I just fixed up an Acer extensa 5420 laptop…date code says July 12 2007 and it was hardly used as it wouldn’t fully turn on. Come to find out it was the cmos battery as it was dead….the laptop is in almost mint condition and now has windows 7 on it….still doing updates.

This Case are the best for Sleeper Builds... xD pls make a sleeper with mini-ITX and bigger graphic card! :D

am I watching a 4k video on a 1080p monitor? holy moly you have the bestest camera on youtube dude

Damn I would love to have a crt on my custom sleeper build!

Nice system with a few shortcomings, if you ask me. That Acer desktop PC would be a god base, especially for some upgrades - an i5 or i7 would go nicely in there. 8GB RAM is OK but 16GB would be better (especially with the i5 or i7) and SSDs are relatively cheap nowadays. But I would have both an SSD for the OS and a HDD for larger games. Plus, that DVD drive is good, not many PCs have these anymore so I'd be inclined to keep it. The sound system was probably the best part about the PC's peripherals. The ball mouse just needs to go, the keyboard doesn't look that much better (and I'd be surprised if either the mouse or keybard were USB), and the CRT is absolutely ancient. The flat monitor at the start was better. Oh, and the GT610 was probably OK, but a low profile GPU with more power would be better (especially with the i5 or i7). At least I have proof that you don't need a 12th gen CPU/RTX GPU to play CS at the lowest settings.

how much of a sleeper it can get if it got more of its possible upgrades. before anything, maintain the CRT it is just a __classic__ touch not to have on a sleeper, as well as the keyboard, since it matches the PC brand wise. upgrade/mod the ball mouse c: get the possible i5, some random kingston dramless ssd, the might gt1030 ddr5 and ofc 2x8GB of ram and of to the races you go :D

Good to see Shane from Smosh is into retro gaming these days

I had those harman kardon speakers back in the day

i cant believe this is better than my old pc

I'm almost certain the integrated graphics are faster than the 610. Isn't that Radeon card with the red fan faster?

The specs remind me of a similar Acer Aspire desktop I had when I was young

Is the 610 better than the integrated graphics? I remember a guy buying an i3 4th gen or 5th gen with a gt 710 and the machine was faster without it.

Probably not.... there were so many laptops that existed purely to sucker in people that thought an Nvidia logo stuck on made the machine immediately superior, when in reality it made performance and battery life worse

even overclocking that 610 will kinda help It

The only purpose that computer can serve anymore with an upgrade of an ssd, would be good for office computing, browsing the web, and just small things. Maybe even transferring files from things here and there.

This is so beautiful

This PC can be amazing running Windows XP SP3 and games made until 2003, like The Sims 1, SimCity 3000, Need For Speed Underground 1, GTA III and Vice City, Half Life, Quake III, etc.

Best performance-per-dollar you'll ever see!

5:22 Yes I do know that pain as my Laptop's HDD is Mechanical (I don't have any Money for an SSD for it)

Please upgrade this rig! Let's see it on the CRT at max-res, with a 4th gen i7 and SSD. Maybe even a RX6400? That would be sick. Then compare price/perf with a modern budget build

I actually had one of these and kitted it out with an i7-3770, 16GB DDR3, 2TB SSD, Nvidia GT1030 GDDR5. Installed Windows 7 ultimate - super fast boot time. Played quite well but that little PSU blew twice in 8 months and the second time it took the motherboard with it. Lesson learned don’t neglect to upgrade your power supply
