  • Hi, this is my very old computer and old parts. So I made some mod, I paint the computer parts, not really recommended but it's working. I have done this many times and I never had any problems, but still there is a risk of damaging something. This is a very low specs PC and okay for playing some older games.

    Hey Andrew, I love your creative approaches. You took a really old computer and turned it into a modern looking piece of art. Painting the motherboard is a bold move, but the care you take into making sure it doesn't affect any of the components is impressive. You created a very handsome potato.

    These sorts of builds are perfect for emulating games. I may need to do one myself. My main rig is finally to my satisfaction, a whole 3000 dollars later.
    But I mean really what is the point of a custom build if everything isn't how you want it. Now I need something else to work on, custom case and all!! Loved the video. Keep up the good work

    Whats convenient about having an open case like this is that you can easily take it outside or put it next to a window, get a paint brush and brush off all the dust that accumulates on it. No need to dismantle all the components. Don't have to worry about overheating either and it saves tonnes of space as the footprint is smaller than conventional PC cases.

    Awesome design! I really want to built my a case like that now.
    That GPU is a MAJOR bottleneck though. A GTX 750 or a GT 1030 will be a cheap, _much_ more suiting alternative. I mean, you already got an SSD for it, so why not?
    Also, you should have covered the GPU's Vram too. I know It's not actively cooled but there's no need to isolate it further with a layer of color.

    Nice job with revitalising old equipment!
    I'm wondering about how much hotter components run once they are painted. Maybe for short term usage it's ok but how about an all day gaming session? Would be nice to see some before and after temps next time. Also there doesn't appear to be a lot of room for the psu to exhaust heat, so that would also concern me.

      As long as you do not paint heatsinks, northbridge/southbridge chips, higher end hardware motherboard /graphic card VRM mosfets/chokes and graphic card memory chips, temps should not rise any higher than normally.

      @RowdyDemon70 Před 5 lety

      @@juhasto91 I agree with your comment. I saw he painted nearly everything on the GPU (except the heatsink/fan) and same on the motherboard, that's why I asked about the temps.

    • @RowdyDemon70
      @RowdyDemon70 Před 5 lety
