Using an old £1000 ($1300) Gaming PC For The First Time In 10 Years...
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 08. 2018
- This Mesh gaming system was built nearly a decade ago, used for a year or so and then put into storage until I bought it a couple of days ago. What lays within this time capsule of components, and does it still work after all these years out of action?
Well let's open it up , clean it up and take an in depth look at what's inside!
Thanks for watching :) - Věda a technologie
The 2gigs of ram is killing it :/
Yeah, I think the overlay said the PC was using 6-ish% of its CPU power in Mafia... :/
My pc has 2gb ram...
I could max out Mafia at 1600x1200... With a Ti4200, so this card can max out it at 1080p for sure. Anyways, for this comp I'd just stick with WinXP.

PimptatoPCs ikr, it is kind of ridiculous
got one recently that the dude just left his tax returns on his desktop, that's a name address ssn and phone number right there, it really makes your head spin

I'm sure there are criminals looking on line for used PC's and phones all the time. Easy pickings.

I just bought an pc for 90€ it has these specs: Core i3 2100 3.1ghz, 6gb ddr3(4gb 1600mhz,2gb 1333mhz), Msi gt 1030 2gb, hdd 250gb. I'd say it's pretty good for the price.
Tomas Gaming It's a bargain for that price .
Tomas Gaming it's a fucking steal mate though I'd prefer an i5 2500 over the i3
Thats a steal for the price, you can play some games on it.
I'd say i3 2100 and gt 1030 is a good combo. It can run gta v at 60fps, csgo at 90-120fps and fortnite at 90-113fps
Not on high settings though but still at least runs great for an xbox 360 price and because it's pc it can do a lot more like running emulators and stuff.

minecraft: can't run at all
cysis: you bet it can, no stutter
Typical Nvidia unpredictable :P
Michael _Howto&tech
Minecraft is much more cpu entensive than graphics entensive if you run minecraft on a 1080 with an i5 8400
It will have almost fps as running with a 1050 using the same cpu
I have a Core 2 Duo E6750 and mincraft always ran great, it's probably a RAM issue or GPU
yeah those stutters, i think the machine isn't working properly
no the stutter is because minecraft uses 1.5gb of ram and windows 7 uses like 1gb and this system only has 2gb of ram so yeah
Zurc not really, minecraft uses, or did use 512mb. Still 2gb filling the ram, but windows 7 can survive on 1gb of ram. (I've had a laptop like that with 1gb of ram and it was OK performance). Although his recording software might be causing some stutters also
Wow that pc runs games just like a MacBook lol
No a MacBook would run it better I had a mackbook from the same time 2.33 ghz core 2 duo Radeon x1600 mobility 3gb ram San Andreas and Minecraft ran wayyyyyy better the ram is a big bottle neck I think

This would be a fun system to "max out". Max ram, max cpu, max gpu, ssd, proper fans. Push that Mobo and case for all they are worth!
NewWorld9 Core2 Extreme QX9650, 8 GB DDR2, GTX 1050TI (Not sure if it can handle it, even with oc), PSU at least 450W quality, SSD any type, fans etc. I wonder if it would work
I would love to see, old hardware show what it can really do. would be a sweet build. Maybe a benchmark video to see which card would be the fastest feasible for this CPU.
Max GPU? Na, sli 7900s
Somogyi Norbert yes but with a 1080ti, see what it can actually do!
I think the core 2 quad qx9770 and gtx 1060 will be cool

This feels like cold starting a sports car thats been sitting in a barn for 25 years
Yeah and when you go to turn it over, it coughs a mild cloud and then roars mildly to life.
That's the nice beefy intel cooler with copper base. Oh, you threw it out, nevermind.
pRopaaNS He pulled it out of the trash czcams.com/video/xIUFkovYfeU/video.html
Wonder if would cool the I9 like an aftermarket one can?
Yeah lol, just vacuum it
“we all make mistakes in life, and we all have regrets” damn dog didn’t have to hit me with that one so quick. Trying to watch you revive old PC hardware, not start thinking about high school.
I really do enjoy your longer and shorter videos alike! You're just such a genuine channel and it's always a pleasure to watch your videos.
Oh and by the way, especially when it's a PC from the time you could include TES IV: Oblivion in addition to or in place of Morrowind. I know that Morrowind is widely regarded as the absolute classic, but Oblivion has a lot more going for it, especially graphically in my opinion :)
Quality over quantity
i personally like to watch your longer videos and dave the seagull is back! :D
You crack on lad. I enjoy your videos and have learned from you. Thanks mate.

Yeah, something is off. Same for morrowind. It should be able to run oblivion with ease.
Mojo he installed 64bit windows with 2 gigs of ram, that could be the reason for the stuttering
Love these videos keep em coming m8
Don't mind the longer videos. Your videos always entertain and educate so it's a win win scenario for me if they are longer.
5 minutes is really enough in this busy times ;) I have another channel which I used to really like and watch every day, but someone went from 30min videos and I do not have that much time in the evening to watch it, I always find time to watch your videos cause they are short and concise :) I really apreciate your work and I love this channel, keep on doing great stuff. Greetings from Poland
its quite amazing too look back at computers i can do more stuff on my £70 widows tablet who would of thought that back then
*widows*
**would of**
Dell optiplex is my go to gaming machine it can max out any game
For some reason I really like thise type of videos! Keep up the good work m8!
No problem with the longer videos, Nice Rescue Thanks for sharing
Seagulls = good
As long as your videos are still good quality I don't care how long they are (within reason ofcourse)
you're a true hero saving old pc's and pc parts. i tip my hat to you good sir
Looked fun mate. My first build was invlusive of a 7900gtx. 60 gig hd and similar generation board many years ago. Took me back to those max payne days lol. Great stuff
DIAWA. okay, you just coined a new word that I love thoroughly
Keep the Long videos going mate!!
I actually really like your content. I am never angry for the thumbnails, cause they always represent about what the video will
be. Keep it up!
I really enjoy your longer videos mate. You're easy to listen to and know your shit haha. Also your video production is top notch for techie videos which makes 'em easy to watch!
0:36 "Somebody had to take the baby sitter home and I noticed she was sitting on her - sweet can"
I do prefer the longer videos! Although the general quality of your videos is pretty high, so, y'know, whatever man, keep it up
btw, I enjoyed this video. Very well done!! great voice overs, and great camerawork. You even threw some nice visuals in there.
NEVER underestimate the power of a good cleaning. I recently dusted out an office machine that was taking upwards of 5 minutes just to open Outlook directly after logging in with nothing else open. After cleaning, Outlook happily opened in as little as 17 seconds.
Why don't you try to install a performance mod for Minecraft called: "Optifine"? You can play MC even on a Pentium 4 Machine no problem with 30fps no lag.
xX_SpeedyScout_Xx I got minecraft 1.11 runnimg on a 2GHz Athlon XP system using optifine and a 8×8 texture pack. Newer Versions refused to start due to the fact that I wasn't able to install Java 8...
Athlon XP legendary cpu
TheSilentj Studios, I think he should use optifine. His audience aren't the kind to not use Forge & Optifine, and possibly shaders.
Talvisota when I first played Minecraft 1.5.1 I was 11 years old. I am not sure if I already had a Core 2 Duo based system or if it was still my first pc, a Pentium 4 PC from Aldi. And it didn't run very good and I had no idea what framerates are or that there are graphics settings. I dont even know if I was running windows 7 or xp at that time.
Maybe because he doesn't actually _play_ minecraft, and rather just runs it just as a performance metric?
I would really love to see how good it runs with the fastest/most ram the Motherboard/cpu can take.
Would be interesting, how much of a performance difference it would make.
I think that would be 8 GB of DDR2 with max 800 Mhz Clock (because of the MB)
Dude... I think I speak for all of us when I say, nobody is going to mind longer videos :) I would LOVE if you made longer videos!! There are lots of tech channels out there, but your's is my favourite. You excellently pair nostalgia and computer peripherals, and your voice and personality are perfect for speaking. Keep up the great work my friend!
Keep the long videos going mate, I love them!
Please upgrade this to the max, and try out Liquid Metal thermal interface material (TIM)!
If it can actually overclock CPUs instead of just support them, I'd love to see this original CPU maxxed out, then something like the Q6600 or a quad extreme CPU ;)
yey finally my graphics card is better than that one
what is ur gpu ?

Im digging the longer uploads, keep them coming.
The earlier format was quite perfect. The amount of information covered correspondet perfectly with the length of the video. Never felt like you were going on just for the sake of going on. Actually I think it was the main reason I liked those videos.
Mind them? Every video form you is breath taking! And it's incredibly enjoyable!
But can it run crysis?
Randomgaminginhd: *''Well the lowest settings certainly can...''*
Not really satisfying :/ but at least it can run it
Holy crap! I've followed you for a while and just realised you're on 219k subs now?! Very deserved!

I havent been turned on in 10 years.
LOL :))

I always thought 5min is not enough, 15 min is too much though, the sweetspot is from 7 to 11 min
James Fondren good fucking God mate get over yourself
CZcams didn't allow for videos longer than 10 minutes if I remembered correctly, so really our attention span didn't change much.
no 5 min is good, more than that gets boring...
longer videos) and more such videos like this one) those are amazing)) thanks for good content)
Longer vids have been great, always love the content. Also super jelly of that motherboard, that'd suit my spare Q6600 rig just fine.
hi dude love the channel. Keep up the great work.
I only watch for the seagulls
I don't mind the longer video's. Keep it up. Thanks
This channel is one of the best, regardless the bad editing etc, still great quality content and that is what it matters
Gaming pc for 1000$ with a CORE 2 DUO, what an amazing deal
I still have an E6700, with a GTX 650ti, and it can still handle modern games with ease. But I am looking forward to buy a Dell Optiplex with an I7 2600 to upgrade it.
I've built an Optiplex 390 SFF comp from mostly scrapped parts with an i7 2600 and GTX660 2Gb (CPU was about €40 and GPU about €20), works quite nice but I haven't had the time to push it with games (the GPU is bottlenecking the CPU though)
Finally longer videos are here! Bro this kind of content REQUIRES longer videos.
your content tends to have a dramatic increase in quality over time for you, you should take advantage of that and continue with videos like this :)
This is exactly how I feel whenever I buy a super old computer to test for my channel, but it turns out to be super dirty. Lol

I'd just dump the cooler in hot water and finish it off with some compressed air
though not hot enough to melt the plastics. or if possible, remove the heatsink from the fan.
I said hot water, not bitching-boiling hot.
When I cleaned all my mining gpus, I rinsed all the heatsinks under really hot water, then I used a datavac blower to dry it, works well!
Just remove the fan first 😂😂.. no matter how hot your water is, it wouldn't be a problem

I know this is far in the future and you are a smart cookie... those old Intel coolers are bad assed and easy to clean. Remove the fan and cooler lile you have done, remove the fan from cooler and you now have a chunk of aluminium that you can spray off with (in America...awesome cleaner) instant clean... and then rinse with water .... a 1/2 in thick 6x6 piece of glass with some 2000 (available at an auto body shop) grit sandpaper makes a cheap leveling block for the heat sink base and the CPU top... cheers mate from Thailand

I bought a 10$ pc at the salvation army and it has 10gb of ram, an i5-3350p, and a gt 620. Im replacing the gt 620 for a gtx 750. So i spent 60$ on a gaming pc. Did i get a good deal?
Not bad for 10$
I'd say you did great
DIYelectronics well if its a good deal im happy bc im into budget pc builds
that 10gbs of ram is worth it on its own the rest is baiscally free , great deal
That's a fantastic deal. I'd replace the psu and get a newer card like a Gtx 1050 ti :)
Crysis plays better than CS:GO? Wait what!!
Naaah,csgo has better compatabilty than crysis
Crysis ultra setting is more demanding than cs go crysis low is like gta vc graphics
You actually need a good CPU to play CSGO whereas Crysis uses more GPU
After all, CS:GO likes having 6gb of ram to run properly, 4gb is not much better than 2gb of ram to run it but a little surprised that it even ran CS:GO.
That P5N-D.... MMMHMM
I would kill for that board right now. As an avid collector of 775 parts and a person who likes to put these ol' beauts to work, I never shy away from a great board like that.

There’s reason for shorter and longer videos. If I have a few spare moments on a busy day, I love the 5 minute CZcams videos. If I don’t have much to do, it’s nice to watch a more in depth, longer video. Either way, it’s good that you aren’t getting lazy on your videos!

You like manchild videos
Put in a Core2 Quad extreme, 8 GB of DDR2, Gtx 750ti and maybe an ssd and there you have a budget gaming PC
Also bump up the FSB to +1600MHz w fast RAM
DDR3 is better
ASUS P5N-D doesn't support DDR3 according to the ASUS website, only dual channel DDR2-800. Nevertheless it still could be a good build, unless buying an LGA 1366 mobo that doesn't get scared from overclocking, a Xeon X5650, DDR3 ram and the rest is somehow cheaper.
Yeah it would probably run a good amount of Esports titles.
