    "If they can do it 20 years ago, why can't they do it now?"
    Because standardized parts means people can fix things on their own, and won't have to overpay for HP repair. If they have to rely on HP for repairs, HP can easily just say "Nope, entirely broken, gotta buy a new one."

      Yeah, but it's more about charging for upgrades. They know you can't just throw any GPU in there due to the power requirements and guess what doesn't fit, a standard PSU. HP and Dell have been doing this for years. Make a couple parts proprietary, like a side panel mounted CPU back plate and you'll have to pay more for their junk CPU cooler upgrade because standard coolers won't mount. You can't replace the motherboard, without buying a new case and vice versa. If you want to upgrade, come to us and we'll overcharge you for subpar parts and keep the money in our family.

      I think that back then, computers were mainly for enthusiasts so OEMs (which were, speaking from my memory of those days, the main way of getting computers up until the 2000s) screwing them over would likely mean losing customers. Now computers are a bigger market, but a lot of people "just want it to work" and don't really care if they get screwed over in the process.
      I see this with my mum who keeps suggesting me a Surface because it's nice and shiny and "it just works", but I'll definitely go DIY with my next system (or buy from an SI who doesn't hate people that want to fuck around with their stuff).

Gaming PCs were something of a oddity, you would usually have them with somewhat better graphics card, but at those days graphic acceleration was still not a thing. Lot would depend on CPU, even in gaming. Therefore, OEMs would build standard office computer and throw in somewhat better card and that's it.

    Surprisingly good for an APU, the end result is super clean looking inside and better hardware wise than what you started with. Maybe this build could benefit from some fun cooling mods to the case to get air flowing, maybe holes in the bottom of the case or similar. I also understand this APU overclocks pretty well.

    You're so right Dawid, we have gone backwards in 20 years where PC building is concerned. Plus components offered genuinely good value for money back in 2001.

    • @chrisbaker8533
      @chrisbaker8533 Před 2 lety

      I'll kindly disagree.
      Over the last 20 years, in regards to pc building, nothing's really changed.
      Proprietary parts have always existed.
      People just have a lack of familiarity with the diversity of components that exist.
      As far as "value", hasn't changed either.
      In 2001 a "good" system could easily run $1000(usd).
      For instance, an HP pavillion 6835 had a launch price of $699, with no discreet gpu.
      The current HP system dawid is showing, starts at $799, with a 1650 super.
      If one adjusts for inflation, that 6835 comes in at ~$1100 usd in today's market.

      For the PSU, I probably would have either broken out a multimeter and spliced cables so I had a "normal" PSU that fit the case or made an adapter bracket for the new PSU (assuming, of course, that the length fits). A dremel and a small bit of sheet metal (maybe harvesting the side of the HP e-waste case) would get him into position and not look too jank.
