Garage PC total system upgrade

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Bringing an old PC back to life and upgrading it to cope with the modern internet.
Gateway SX2855
Intel Celeron G460 to Core I5 2500S
2GB ram to 8GB
500GB 3.5 to 512GB SSD
onboard graphics to GT1030
Wifi and bluetooth upgrade
Windows 7 to Windows 10
-----------------------------
You've made it this far. I had to upgrade this pc to allow it to work within my garage. This all started because I needed to install a WIFI card, and windows 7 did not have any drivers. Upon upgrading to windows 10 the PC was dreadfully slow, so I decided to upgrade the CPU/RAM/HDD and tossed a dedicated graphics card in while I was there. This PC will end up running a 3D printer and possibly a CNC Plasma cutter in the future.

    My only complaint is if your goner show off the keyboard to the world to see please clean what i can only hope is Tea, cola or whatever juice (not c&m juice) and Dust from it.

    It's mostly brakleen, oil, dust, wood shavings and chicken feathers. I've got a few new keyboards that I could replace it with, but I hardly type on that one - just to google search. My primary PC has a cherry G910, but after all this is my garage pc lol

    Anti-Static is a bit of a non issue in all honesty, although i would avoid wearing old wooly staticky jumpers, balloons and possibly electrical storms, although the static generated probably isnt sufficient to course any permenate damage, plus most modern motherboards have Anti-Static, Anti Surge etc... build in anyways. Yep Isopropanal 85-99% Alcohol with although not 100% nesserary lint free clothe nothing wrong with that. If its a non soldered ihs you could delid it and put the conductanaught on the die and reseal the ihs, personally i wouldnt use liquid metal for anything but delidding cause the liquid metal can corrode even bare copper its best used on nickel plated copper.

    This pc isn't being overclocked or anything so the effort to delid and find a higher performance heatsink (or conversion to liquid) is out of the scope of what this PC will be used for. Thanks for the feedback on the static, I know it wouldn't hurt anything, especially considering this PC was about to head into the trash - I've got some 3M anti static wrist straps but it felt like a waste to use one since they are 'single use'. Oddly enough I have liquid metal on my laptop and it has a copper sink to pipe interface, and I had 0 corrosion on that after 1 year of heavy, consistent use (thrown around, airports, in and out of a backpack, constant heat cycling - it gets used daily and goes with me everywhere)

    @DesertNinja650 I'm only going from what other people tell me about liquid metal, besides conductanaught is a premium brand version made by an extreme overclocker professional named Roman Der8auer on his Thermal Grizzly lined products, so I daresay he's made it so it's superior and stops corrosion as much as possible versus unbranded versions of liquid metal.
