I had no idea what I was doing, but thanks to this channel (and Linus, who seems to have no plan most of the time - just like me), I started it. The Laptop is working quite nicely now.

I'm pretty sure my donor screen came from a hp elitebook and is 1920x1200. If your cable didn't have enough wires for the higher resolution you often lose every other line of pixels on the screen. The panel I used was from a higher end hp laptop (bought a complete new lid, screen unit for £25), I had to find a cable from a different Toshiba model that had full hd and the same plugs as my l300, the cable was a little longer so I had to reroute it and cut a small plastic rib away so that the keyboard sat flush.

Hello brother

This is great! I have an XE model with a Q45 chipset and a 280 watt PSU, so this is a good example to work by. Thanks for doing this video.

This is what I like so much about computers and being able to mess around with the older parts and bits. For some reason I like going all out on systems like these (custom liquid cooling on CPU + GPU), adding LED lights (only red) and trying to see if I can squeeze any extra performance from it with some overclocking. Sure it's not as powerful as a modern computer with similar specs, but it does feel more worth it, since I put in all that effort to get as much from the system as technically possible.

For real. I got myself the same PC+one of those indestructible Dell keyboards+one of those monitors with everything included for free off my old high school. I’m surprised they all worked.

I couple of years ago I became a technician in a school which still runs around 200 optiplexes of similar vintage. knowing they were still good for office stuff I put 4 gb of ram and an ssd in them and for 2 years now they've been running sweeter than all the newer machines we have. Our sound engineering room was struggling a bit running cubase and technical department running Autodesk but after watching this video I think I'll have try scrounging some extra ram from dead machines and pick up some second hand q6600s or similar. I hate having to spend tons of school money on new machines,time creating an image for these machines, day's flattening cardboard boxes and disposing of polystyrene. when I can just undo 2 screws and drop a chip in. I knew this upgrade was possible but I wasn't too optimistic about it being enough till I watched this. Thanks!

It was just an alternative delid method

I actually built a very similar pc just a little after this video came out, the main differences being I got a HP rather than a Dell Optiplex, can't remember the exact model but same type of business pc, for $90AU with an i5-2400 with 8GB DDR3 and windows 10 preinstalled, I bought a new GT-1030 for $90AU and I already had an old 250GB SSD so i just cloned over the windows 10 install to the SSD, for $180AU, probably $150USD or less, I got something that my brother can play GTA 5, Rust, and a bunch of other games at 1080p 60 pretty well. There's always good options on going second hand, and given large companies are always going to need to upgrade too, these older machines will probably always be pretty readily available, as long as you can pair one with a decent more recent graphics card (which with the current situation in 2021 is getting a little tougher but still doable) you can easily have a good gaming experience on the cheap, and if you're one of those really persistent bargain hunters, you can get something that's actually better than average for the money, it just takes a bit of time and effort.

This channel has given me an obsession. My PC. Getting too excited stuffing random new stuff in mine. Bought a liquid cooler to replace the AMD stock one I had and it was absolutely worth the purchase.

Hey guys, as mentioned before, running a CS server locally with 9 bots hits the CPU EXTREMLY hard, and is not even remotly close to what perfomnace you can expect from joining a server, as 99,999% of players are gonna do.

Missed a great opportunity for a smooth ad transition. "Now that you have a great budget gaming pc, you can get great, not-outlandishly expensive headphones for your rig with the Massdrop...yada yada." Love this type of video though. Thanks LTT

I have the exact same PC in my living room, but withOUT any of the upgrades you show (except it does now have 8gig of RAM). I have it running Linux (Peppermint 10) and it is perfectly fine for basic stuff, like watching KZread.

I modded a optiplex 980 system over to a normal atx case requiring soldering wires and modding other dell propriety BS required for pc to turn on. 16gb ram and a i5-650, still use a 750 ti... not a daily driver but mainly used as a nvidia gamestream server to play pc games on phone while out on the go. Works well. (Main system is a alienware x17 laptop currently with a 3080)

While I do enjoy seeing the hottest new thing that's coming out, these (and scrapyard wars) are some of my absolute favorite videos because it reaches out to a far larger percent of the population who are rich kids and helping to teach people that older materials (be it computer or otherwise) aren't always just throw in the trash worthy one they are a year old like the cell phone cycle.

This is awesome! :) I picked-up an Optiplex 390 for $120.00. Dropped-in an i7 2600 and a GTX 1030 for another $150.00 and got a pretty fun system :) I did have 8GB of DDR3 1333 memory kicking around.

sandy bridge and ivy are the current optiplexes for the taking. pretty amazing rigs and also 240g ssd are 26 now bad thing is old gpus seem to have gone up in price with covid.

These old office boxes made for secretaries of secretaries are great bang for the buck if you shop savvy and are willing to fiddle with them. I built my PLEX server out of a Dell 755 I picked up for $20 out of the "u-fix it" pile at Goodwill. I put that same processor Linus used in it after $25 and a dice roll on eBay. I scrounged up a 1TB hard drive, partitioned it out, and installed Ubuntu on it (12gb system partition and the rest is storage for video). The largest outlay for recording and streaming OTA TV was the PLEX lifetime membership ($120), an exterior antenna ($80), and a compatible tuner ($60.. a short list of hardware because drivers under linux are what they are). Only other thing I used was a couple Amazon sticks, which we already had in the kitchen and bedroom. My old PS3 does fine for the TV in the living room. These old Optiplex's are very cheap to run on idle and don't draw that much at full throttle. I did some maths and I think I pay $3 a month for the electricity for that particular box. This, with free Netflix from my cell provider, beats the heck out of Dish Network's monthly bill. I can run three 1080 streams out with no problem and I can record one and watch a different one (only two tuners in the USB TV tuner stick) easily with no hardware bottlenecks with that setup. $300+/- up front and no more TV bills = win for me.

my office had some shitty old pcs that were starting to struggle with everything. the tasks that are asked of those pcs are mundane, they basically just have to run open office and browse the web at a decent speed. i bought 4 of these optiplexes that came with a q9xxx (i don't remember which exactly though) and 4gbs of ram, then i put some ssds in them and voila. snappy machines on the cheap. spent less money in all four than i would in a single retail basic computer that would probably be slower.

Edit: Ok... so I got hung up on the older 775 boards which only supports DDR2... Previously written: Yeah I noticed that to, given that the memory controller is part of the North Bridge and not on the CPU it is technically possible to have ddr3 or even ddr4 on these chips. Still given that this is a bog standard optiplex and that I haven't seen a board with that feature to date (I do have an older board with both DDR and DDR2 support on the same board though) I assume it's just DDR2.

I bought a Optiplex 9010, 200$ for i5 3570, 16 GB of RAM, SSD 256 GB + 1TB on ebay. I mounted a 1050 and I got 60 FPS 1080p at Max settings for all the games before 2015, and medium-high for the new ones. For graphic comparison look the video on youtube about what a 1050(ti) can do! For 320$ I couldn't ask more :D (Update 2019, I bought a 1050ti, for 130$ and I sold my 1050 for 115$, the Ti worths all the 10/15 bucks more!) No PSU change is needed Look for these one! :D (With a 1060, all the new games run at 1080p and 60fps if not more, but you need a new PSU, but we move around the 400/450$ range, all used as always of course, I made it for a friend, terrific!)
