Transforming a 90's Hot Wheels PC into a Modern Gaming Beast

I spent thousands of dollars on some of the most powerful gaming PC hardware available, and crammed in a Hot Wheels PC case from 1999. As well as some other nonsense.
Thanks to Micro Center for sponsoring this video and funding this absurd project.

    Dude, this is wild to see after coming across that HWPC in the warehouse back then. Props for actually finding a way to cram all of that tech into the cramped lil thing, I know how hard these are to work with. And the additional monitors, subwoofer, pads and other additions are fantastic. As mentioned over email last year, I'm really glad that Hot Wheels PC ended up finding a home, these goofy things deserve to live a new life 👍

    I laughed very hard at the subwoofer reveal.

    every time I thought it couldn't get better, it got better. The commitment to the bit, keeping the floppy drive in the system, the head gasket failure. Splendid

    It truly doesn’t get better than playing Minecraft on 9 CRT monitors, does it?

    i like how after the gamecube joycon video he made, painting isnt set as this big deal as he gets more and more comfortable with it, eventually turning into the mastery of "and after a little bit of painting" with only mere seconds of painting footage shown displays true mastery and comfortability with painting, very nice detail.

    I love the documentation about how Linus was able to destroy the market for these cheap computers

    the fact you set up all 6 screens for basically a few seconds of shots is great

    Helping with "stupid" stuff like this is exactly why Micro Center might be the best place to do computer and parts shopping.

    “Simulated head gasket failure”

  • @AnthonyRiddle
    @AnthonyRiddle

    This is one seriously kick butt project. Might be the coolest PC thing I've ever seen. The icing on top of the whole video is you knowing that tick white smoke out of an exhaust is a sign of a blown head gasket
