It's all fun and games until Grandma can't figure out why the Radio doesn't work and trashes it 😂
LMAO
**turns it on**
*"doesn't work"*
**smacks it**
Grandma? Throwing something away? You clearly don't have a grandmother
Mike Hawk tru
@@MikeHawk1969 Sounds like you never had a "I'll fix later" Grandpa with Grandma nagging him to get rid of all the broken stuff.
Damn no wonder why my grandfather said, “treat it with care”.
War times radio?
Hmm
Love how it’s a sleeper but not in a PC case, refinishing the wood and polishing the metal would be cool for video 2 if you get the time but other than that this thing is awesome Matt!
Thanks! I am definitely going to be polishing the metal(I just need to find the correct compound/polish.) Also, I'm probably going to sand down the wood to remove some of the scratches then restain it, but the wood veneer is pretty thin so I need to be careful not to sand down too much.
Ooooo
@@TechByMattB You might just wanna sand it back down smooth and put new veneer on. Veneer is fairly inexpensive nowadays. Its that or you could pick up some vinyl alternative and have an easier time cleaning it.
@@TechByMattB When you Finish sanding the wood, try to use Wood Oil so the wood can last longer.
@@TechByMattB You should do it without machine with a finer sandpaper :)
I'm sure LGR would love this and squeal in glee.
Oh yeah, I dig it 😁
LGR “Boss Music”
Does anyone else suddenly hear epic early CZcams intro music?
@@Amanda_Harper [JAZZ MUSIC INTENSIFIES]
Wow LGR has eyes everywhere, in every nerdy stuff video, you need to watch your steps. :) Nono of the comments escape from his eagle eyes.
This is a brilliant solution for someone who doesn't want an all shiny and glowy modern pc case
Matt I've beeb watching your channel for years now and am very impressed with the way you've evolved from just another tech tuber to a serious DYI mastermind. Keep up the great work buddy and thanks for all the great content...
Thanks for the kind words Paul, really appreciate it!
This idea and how it all turned out is pure genius Matt. Thanks for the amazing content!
"HealthKit" is actually "HeathKit" with no L. They used to be a pretty decent brand. I have a few of their kits. An RF amp (SB220), a clock, a large receiver, and a modulation monitor.
Also they tended to use boxes that were suitable for many different types of builds -- being a kit company and all.
We had a heathkit pinball machine it was pretty fun to build
@@MortillaroCustoms I believe that Heath Kits were considered to be on a parr with Zenith quality which made them both expensive and sought after. I also believe they were ALL kits, which made them rare. Since they were usually put together by technophiles, and not assembly line people, I imagine the the build quality was often very high. I think your project is a great one, and I'm temped to think that I might do something similar in the future, but I would also liked to have seen the specs and a review of that receiver if it had been put back into service.
@@billchessell8213 Heath was owned by zenith for a period of time. The kits are far from rare, quite the opposite. They were sold out of catalogs up till the early 1990's I've have a few myself as did my dad. I think radio shack sold them as did Sears.
@@MortillaroCustoms On the resale market they were rare shortly after they stopped being sold because the people who had bought and assembled them were invested in their effort and not eager to sell.
I'm not sure if that has changed with time as their owners pass and the Heathkit goodies end up in estate sales.
The tuning knob should change the colours of the RGB.
YES.
I say keep the volume adjustment on the volume knob. He should add the RGB color adjustment to the balance knob.
@@element0ne The tune knob is the far right one, volume and tune is not the same. I agree with
nochancecze, the tune knob should change the RGB colors!
Trynez D’oh! For some reason I read it as “volume” knob and not tune... I agree with you guys.
Shouldn't be to hard, as there is already an arduino in the case, and an arduino can actually control LED strips, only difficult part would be the code, but someone who knows what theyre doing could get it done and coded in 10 mins
Loved the video! Well done on a novel build idea!
hey
This is a Granddaddy PC not a sleeper PC, a good one at that
Granddad always falls asleep on the lazy-boy so...
Ah, vintage audio equipment and a PC. 2 of my favorite pieces of technology beautifully married as one. It's beautiful
If there was an award for PC build of the year this guy would win it.
This is also whats known as a "hood rig"
Anyone breaking into your home isnt gonna bat an eye at the old 50lb radio on the desk, meanwhile you got your life savings invested in there lol.
@SchoolTerrorist a fellow British
Did he just say Health-Kit? This project he has here would be so much cooler if he knew what a Heathkit was, and why him doing what he's doing is almost like a perfect circle
It took me only the first minute to realise you're THE MAN. Original knobs control pc power and volume, thats no joke, man!!!!
Wow... The creativity in this one
The music is just so gosh darn aesthetic.
The PC is too
There's something about building a PC in something that wasn't intended for that purpose, it's pretty cool.
Great video! Concise with good pacing and had all of the details I hoped to see. Thanks! Also I think the build turned out really nicely. Very inspiring!
Amazing build! Love the clean look and your explanation that clearly explains the whole process! Fantastic! Looking for more quality content from you dude!!!
I feel a disturbamce in the force as if thousands of audiophiles cried out at once.
He did say he bought it broken, so they should be fine :P
@@KingBobXVI
could've probably been repaired..
Not gonna lie, I almost cried then he said it was broken. While it could have been fixed, and part of me wish someone would have I'm just glad that it didn't end up in the dump.
He took care to find a broken unit, and not sacrifice a good working receiver. I doubt anyone will be crying as a result. Cool re-purpose of that old Heathkit.
And the final indignity....he called it a "Healthkit".
Awesome build. For the tuner knob, try making it functional by adding an actual AM/FM radio and a small speaker. It would be a great way to show respect the old gear and add greatly to the sleeper concept. Oh, and the LED's while convenient, take away from the sleeper'ness of it. LED's are hard on the old eyes. If you could somehow re-add the original type bulbs, or even find an LED replacement bulb that puts out a similar kelvin color temperature of the original, that would be simply amazing. Keep up the great work, you earned another subscriber here.
lol heath kit was probably a good choice, that thing was probably diy in the first place. heath kit are electronics kits for learning to build electronics, or for customized equipment.
Built me a Heathkit O-scope in the 80's. Miss those guys.
Awesome built ! Love that you used the original knobs.
New meets old. Clever, i like that.
3:53 Anyone considering doing a project like this seriously needs to keep that in mind.
isolated screwdriver and voila, discharged in 2 sec
@@mistahke Or a incandescent bulb, 60w 220vac it's what I used to use after I got scared the fuck out of me after discharging a crt tv cap by the short method...
1M ohm, 200v resistor, inline with two alligator clamps: instant capacitor discharge system. throw a small LED in there if you want a visual output
All U hav to do is hold the probes of ur DVOM to the cap. It discharges and U can watch the voltage drop to zero at the same time. Thats if its even charged. Something that old probably hasnt been plugged in in years and he already said its currently broken. They dont hold charge indefinitely and even if it was operational, the second you turn it off, the rest of the amplifier section shutting down bleeds the caps off long before you can even start pulling the cover off. An old CRT tv? Ya, there U wana be careful! An old audio receiver....never had a problen.
Awesome build man, very cool idea!
That is a Slick build. the wood grain style fits so well.
Nice.
Hi Matt. Good job on this epic vid!
I've been planning to do this with a microwave for a while. Haven't gotten one just yet.
Lol
😂
Put legs on it like Goat MMO Simulator.
When you begin this project, be sure to to be very careful when working on the microwave. Microwaves use very strong components that can cause potentially lethal injuries if dealt with improperly.
You should be fine if you do the proper research, and enough of it, before hand. A lot of people take apart microwaves for various uses. I hope it turns out to be a successful project.
@@luchvk yes thanks for your concern. I'm aware of that and I'll likely make sure not to touch many components once they're out of the case.
Brilliant case mod! This is the sort of project I would start but never finish
your dedication is next level.
The effort, it was definitely worth it.
quality content right there. You've just earned a sub
Definitely one of your most interesting builds. Videos like this are entertaining to watch all the way through.
This is awesome. Iv always wanted to do my own modded case build and your two videos always inspire. Looks fantastic!
Imagine your parents go through your things see that and throw it out thinking it's just some old rubbish.
Or sell it for $1 at the next garage sale :-(
I usually don't say anything but this is well done, hot damn!
does it make your opinion more valuable than one by the people who more easily tell how they feel? :D
This was really awesome Matt. You have a new fan.
It’s a beautiful job. I love the way you upcicled that old stereo 👍🏻
i feel like you should really mount some exaust fans in the back, like 2 40mm for the gpu and a 80mm for mobo/cpu
This is an amazing build. However, much like some home DIY projects, I like how the builder goes "oh, it's easy", for most people, this is insanely difficult.
Which is the difficult part? Maybe the Arduino for those people who don't really mess around with MCs and electronics in general, but the rest is not that hard even for a normie tbh...
that is awesome, haven't seen a cool build on this level in ages
Such an awesome build!
I feel like someone probably said this already, but I noticed you said “health”kit, where the company’s name is “heath”kit (like the candy bar)
MOST UNDERRATED TECH CZcamsR
it's kinda crappy....
Orbitraal true tho
Great job!!!! I was astonished that the volume button works on the PC
This is so AWESOME!!! Fantastic video
Next project. "A PC in a first aid kit." 🙂
using a Raspberry Pi PC
@@-0-R3B3LL10N No, Latte Panda Alpha
or a Raspberry Pi PC on an 80's Casio Calculator Case :)
Gamer first aid kit
@Demo Don't you dare tempt me like that. I have lots of amplifiers and just enough time to do it
If someone doesn't know this pc he notice thats a radio hahaha
thanks im a zoomer so i was confused af
😂😂😂 CZcams comment section will never not be this lit fr
r/boneappletea
damn, you can seriously take this modded pc to CES as a showpiece, and not embarrass yourself. one hell of a work. good job.
Dopest build I've seen in a while.
Clint (LGR) would love this~
Indeed, it's a really neat result!
*sees PC fitted into woodgrain oldschool tuneknob radio receiver
*someone mentioned LGR in comments
Yup, you just invoke Clint AKA Patron-Saint of Retro Woodgrain Stuffs...
@@LGR By the way dude, keep up the good works
In Woodgrain we trust
This is your daily dose of Recommendation
In disguise
I have no words.
Just wow!
Love the creativity, I am thoroughly impressed.
"Big metal nobs, all were very interesting to me."
This Will go viral in our fb vintage audio repair group ..
One word DEDICATION! good job Matt dope build.
Sick dude! Amazing work :)
This guy sounds like hes reading a speech in a year 10 class.
my man put a whole pc probably better than mine in a radio
Man, this is awesome. Keep up the great work!
It's amazing that you used a old Heathkit receiver for your build. Heathkit was a DIY parts kit manufacturer back in the day. My father-in-law has a console TV that he built from a Heathkit parts kit.
What’s next
“I built a pc in a flesh light”
Penguinz0 will buy that if it was a thing
The light is rgb
I imagine chills reading that
Wife: Oh ya isnt it great? I got 40 bucks for that old piece of junk on Ebay.
I love this idea. Great job as always matt.
I really enjoyed this video and build great work matt!
Yo stole my idea that I never told anyone about
Prob a joke, but literally anybody can do this if they had the time.
That's probably the most beautiful and unexpected idea for a computer case indeed. Love it! :) If it's standing there about nobody would expect a very modern, powerful PC inside!
Very nice build. Well engineered!!
Nice job Matt - creative build and very nice editing.👍
Lots of original thought and ingenuity is in that build. A fine job even without the final touches.
Splendid idea Matt🔥🔥
Best casemod i ever see ♡
I really dig it! Nice job!
This is a great video with really cool mods.
14:50 can't beat that microcenter tag too
Wow ! Amazing work !
Very awesome build bro. I like it a lot. That was a very badass to use old and new parts the way you did.
Great job! Retro! I had placed a 6 disc changer in a console stereo back 27 years ago!
Excellent project. I haven't seen these types of projects. Excellent work and keep it up.
Looks amazing!
Very cool. Decision for the chassis
Super cool
Dude! I'm supper proud of this build. You should be over the moon!
Since that is a tuner, we use to hook up other things to them for amplification. You could put an old 8 track tape player plugged into the back also a sleeper to house your 3.5 inch HDD.
Awesome build love the ol school look, really cool to have the dial light up when powered on also the volume knob nice touch. I think it looks great and also look right at home by the TV.
Dude this is amazing! Keep it up dude love your videos
This is beyond awesome! :D Great job!!
Super cool build!! It's something I would totally have in my electronics kit.
Very nice build, makes me wanna build my own. Cant wait to see the bench and temps.
Awesome job! If I ever get a vintage gaming room constructed in my house, something like this will have to go in it!
Reminds me of my server in a fridge build. Gotta do more unique builds now. Good job, looking forward to part 2.
Very unique and interesting project!
Awesome! I love these kind of mods.
You know so many useful skills. That's awesome
What a cool build build. Thankyou for sharing it with us :)
Loved the video, keep them coming man! 👍
Love those projects!
This is an awesome idea! Nicely done.
