- Do all the parts work? I don't know, that's why I made the video for you guys, so that we may find that out.
But in all seriousness, this was a blast to make! I am definitely getting faster at making these videos and I feel as if I am getting a hand at scheduling how I make them too. I just honestly need to get better at writing and become way faster at that. Maybe one day I will be able to post a video a week.
But anyways, I hope you all enjoy part two, and if you want more, follow me on twitter and subscribe. Until the next video!

Top tip - power supply testers are fairly cheap and will pretty quickly tell you if the power supply is good or not. Definitely invest in one!
Ironically I just ordered one. But regardless, thanks for the tip!
Removable ATX trays were fairly common back in the day, especially with Lian Li cases. Matter of fact, my NAS is installed in an old full-tower Lian Li with removable tray. Aside from poor airflow, I prefer cases from the early 2000's.
if i ever found a computer like this thrown out. i'll grab it too. i clean it up & clean it out & max it out & use it as a gaming pc
this was honestly more interesting than Linus Tech Tips nowadays. Its a miracle that all of the system works though! Keep up the good work, and PART 3!!! you could even try zip tying the liquid cooler to the case.
Thank you so much! I already have a few ideas written down that I am brain storming for part 3. I'm sure to add your suggestion to the list to see what might make for a great finale!
i think put a super cool rgb air tower cooler on it!
I'm sure would like the case to be restored for it former glory, including the sliding screen.
Apologies, this became a bit of an wall of text heh.
I'm thinking the floppy disk reader was too update the bios instead of using a usb drive.
Or it was used too update the bios for one of the previous motherboard & cpu combos in this pc.
Which for something around the era of socket 775 2004 - 2009 & am2/am2+ ca 2006 - 2009 makes sense as not all boards picked up the usb drive properly from my experience at least.
Cold cathodes did exist in the full color spectrum, like green, red, blue, white, uv/blacklight, pink, orange, yellow, i mean look at neon signs those are cold cathodes at a larger scale.
(Had white ones myself in 2011 - 2012 which with a case that had 2x 120mm fans on the side panel with white fan blades looked great in the dark as stuff picks up the glow differently vs with leds.
Had a black Akasa cs-500 case, cheap budget case from the 2010's when i first built my pc but worked so good with white cold cathodes aesthetic wise & the fans on the side panel.
I didn't have any custom watercooling loop or similar here.
I just wanted lights in my pc at the time too make it look a bit cooler on a budget instead of spending 100 usd+ on a new pc case & moving all the parts cold cathodes for 15$ did the trick heh.
But there were uv reactive acrylic pieces like 5.25 bay covers, fan grilles, uv reactive cables of any kind, even some powersupplies that came with modular uv reactive cables in the 2000's, acrylic cases or side panel windows that were uv reactive was also a thing.
Motherboards from a no longer existing company called DFI (Their lanparty boards specially.)
Usually had UV reactive ports & slots on them like ram,pci,agp,pcie, sata, ide, 24 & 4 pin.
HIS A few years ago had UV reactive gpu cooler shrouds having the Artic cooling vga silencer on many of their cards for years both agp & pci-e cards.
I still love the look of the HIS ICE Q HD 4870, their marketing images for it glowing looks amazing imo even if it's overexposed & somewhat edited too pick up glow more then it would in reality.
The last cards too have uv reactive plastics on them were the hd 5770 ICE Q i believe though no marketing image of it glowing like the hd 4870 on their page.
If you do get some cold cathodes.
Use zip ties as additional mounting if you can somewhat loosely.
(Do not bend the cables at the ends of these tubes they will short out & burn the powersupply or the tube which is probably what happened too that tube included with the pc actually.)
Doublesided tape is also not great for putting these up, broke one of my white cold cathode tubes when it fell while playing one night, actually caused my pc too turn off entirely suddenly.
Even velcro tape is much better at holding these in place with a dot of superglue too keep the velcro stuck too the case & cold cathode tube.
Actually found mountainmods still has cold cathodes if you want too try getting hold of some, maybe other places online will have some too.
Do contact their support though, this stuff must have been collecting dust for a while if it's actually still in stock or just an old website that's somehow still getting small updates.
Looks good on the photos though damn...
I do miss the glow from the white ones i had.
Oh and another thing...
Because these are very compact powersupplies for these cold cathodes they send out 180 - 800v too the tubes at like 300 - 700 mah.
Don't be surprised if they eventually die out of nowhere.
It's more the tubes that are unique colors thanks too the gas mixture in them so you can swap power supplies between most of them out there.
I know uv, red, blue & white are identical powersupplies at least within the same brand i had back in the day, no idea what the brand was but fairly certain they were repackaged & relabeled anyway for years.
Can probably contact EVGA's support about buying replacement cables for that 1300w powersupply if there aren't any custom sleeved ones too buy online, that's a really nice unit too have around imo.
Do keep a close eye on anything shorting out though using it.
As 1300w will not care that stuff is on fire & actively shorting out obviously.
You could make acrylic side panels pretty easily.
mounting reverse would be so u could install a BTX board! Thats so awesome.
Bro you have some high quality content and a very calm style of presenting it. I'm looking forward to more videos like this! I enjoy strange PCs like these.
Thanks man, I hope to get these next few videos out as soon as possible for you guys. :)
Awesome text run, I certainly wasn't expecting the aio to just not be mountable at the end lol!
This kind of motherboard NEEDS a i7 4th gen K model and 16gb or ram , with 1080 and a new case , :) would make a perfect gaming pc
Keep it going finish the build! You can do it just get adjustable brackets to mount the radiator
really good video love the good pcs and the werid graphics card lol
Bro found an overkill pc on the side of the road why am i not as lucky as this man 😭😭
Great video! I have subbed. Seems like an interesting channel you have here would be great to see more video uploads in the future.
Thanks man! Oh you bet! I am working on one right now, hopefully I will have it release in a couple weeks. Gotta wait on parts for my next videos but by the time this next vid comes out, expect a lot of more content on this channel. Thanks for the sub!
I would put it together as a home server and do back ups of my other systems and use some of the hard drives for a plex server also ...
Rebuilt it with new case make a part 3!
you should do a case transplant if the aio works
new case
the option to flip the case side that hold the mobo is for BTX Style mobo's
This was also pretty common for DELL boards of the time.
The "fluorescent" tube is a CCFL, or cold cathode fluorescent lamp (AKA cold cathode tube). It does not necessarily mean that the system originally had a custom water loop or that the tube was even a UV light. CCFL's were commonly available in 3 colors in addition to UV/Black (In the early years of CCFL's, Black was the LEAST common color). But regardless of the light color, it was indeed for custom lighting in the pre-RGB world. If this computer was just continually rebuilt over the years, it's entirely possible that the CCFL and floppy were either original to the initial build, or even transferred from a previous chassis.
I actually took a pair of red PC CCFL's and installed them in between the front seats and center console of my car in about 2003. Because Fast and Furious, yo. (Ah, the follies of youth...)
Very fascinating. It is crazy to think that customization in PCs have evolved into what we have today and in a much simpler manner. But yeah, I was thinking that the floppy and CCFL were possibly from an older build myself.
Also I was just thinking about that the other day. Super Fast and Furious like. Glad you enjoyed the vid btw!
@@BudgetBin It's crazy to see what you managed to get just lying on the side of the road. Looking forward to part 3!
Some of my old rigs had cold cathodes. I think I had UV at one point, and UV-reactive IDE cables, and would wrap other cables in UV-reactive sleeving, because that's what was cool back then. These days, I hate RGB.
@@37Kilo2 Honestly there is still some "Je ne sais quoi" for me in those CCFL-s and UV builds (Remember DFI motherboards with UV reactive ports?) that rgb just doesn't have for me. RGB is quite repulsive to me, there was just something cool and geeky in that neon style.
True, I still have a few new in the box. I'm going to use them in some retro builds. I loved those things.
I liked the part when he put some thermal paste on the gpu.
I am glad you liked the pattern that I used. :)
I know this is an older video, but drop a 4790K in there any make it a screamer! I used to have a z97 Sabertooth board...wish they still made them they were so cool back in the day
Shame they don't do removable trays pc cases anymore, but with the size of the gpu card these days, its not surprising
I don't actually know how they would have used that floppy disk. The motherboard almost certainly doesn't have a port for it. As far as I know the last board to have a FD port was an Asrock board that was around about the 2nd Intel i5 Generation and I have never seen a PCI card for floppy disks. Beyond that how else would they get it connected?
There is a SATA adapter that is usb that you can run a floppy off of.
Rebuilt it in a new case and sell for good $$$$
Budget Bin more like Budget Ads. Your video is filled with CZcams ads.
They have ads? This is the first time I am hearing about this. I'm not even eligible for monetization currently. Strange.
@@BudgetBin that is weird. I trust you aren't lying of course. Good video either way. Just that CZcams ads pop up on videos if the video is monetized. I don't monetize my videos either.
No worries man, and thanks for watching! Glad you enjoy my content!
@@BudgetBin it's ok Budget Ads. I still like your content. Good editing, good voice, you even put fresh thermal paste on old stuff. I respect that! Poor silicon needs cooling and love too.
Where is part 3?
It is on the way, don't you worry :)
Subscribing and not skipping ads, so you can buy I better camera lol (do that when possible pls)
for the first time i see a correct metod to test de hardware without trouble and easy to sort change part if one its failing congrats really you should be copied
This is the case, for reference, 1 of 200.

Knew I had seen it somewhere.
No way... Thank you for sending me this video. This will help for the part three finale by a whole lot
@@BudgetBin Happy to help! Now you can find spare parts ;)
people dont aprishiet old cases
who ever is the 500 person GJ to you 🥲🥲
