Your videos are too good. I had to repair my old toshiba satellite l50 c laptop once as the hard disk drive died. which was so dirty inside, to the point that I just had to buy a new computer.
You shouldn't retrobrite because it can cause the plastic to get weaker and also makes it easier for the plastic to yellow even more. Spray painting is the solution. When you spray paint you will not have to worry as much about the computer yellowing again. It will not make the plastic weaker. Other than that nice video.
@@darthvaxxus The first computer I used was a DEC PDP-8, when I was at university in 1970.

I’ve been inspired and picked up a dell dimension 4600i from someone on Facebook, I’ve got it back up and running, win xp installed, and many years of nostalgia flowing in, I love fixing up old computers
your ongoing cooperation with Electronic Recycling Australia is pretty cool, makes for great videos, they always provide the most interesting stuff to restore
Tip: If you are ok with opening the power supply in addition to cleaning the dust see if you can lubricate the fan, behind the sticker of many of those brush less fans is a rubber cap that you can remove and add a drop or 2 of light machine oil. This can also help reduce the noise of the power supply if it's making noise.
5:00 Here are 2 old tech tricks for bent CPU pins after removing any kinks with tweezers or needle nose pliers: 1/ Slide the pin into the tip of a mechanical pencil to align it with the others, or 2/ Run a credit card down the appropriate rows of pins to get them all square. If you're not careful with this method, you may end up putting the entire row a touch out of alignment. You'd be surprised how often the Pentium 4 and earlier PGA CPUs come out with the heatsink. Those older ZIF sockets had pretty low clamping force, and thermal pastes from the 90s and early 2000s were a lot tackier than they are today (they were basically just diluted thermal glue back then). When you don't have a squared bracket like in this video, a back-and-forth twisting motion is the way to avoid yanking the CPU out with the heatsink. Thanks for another great video. Your restores are always a lot of fun to watch, and make me wish eucalyptus oil was cheaply available here in the US for the clean-ups/restores that I occasionally do.
Hi, good tip re the pins, i also have a "shaved" paddle pop stick to use as a liner / spacer I dont have any mechanical pencil any more ( plenty of leads though ) but you can use the shell of a normal pen Regards George
Like any school will throw away any hardware because of its looks... Sometimes they won't even if it works like sh**t and it's really long in the tooth.
@@BilisNegra even worse when they throw it because the software is slow or infected with malware but the hardware is fully functioning, some schools are throwing out perfectly working windows 10 intel i5 4gb~8gb ram laptops/desktops already, if i could take them home i would at least take the parts from the desktops like hdd or ram
I love these restoration videos. I don't really have much interest in retro gaming from this era (I prefer the really old 8 bit stuff) so I do not think I would do this myself but it is really enjoyable to watch and this machine came out great!
I like Windows XP computers. Thanks for restoring this PC. Please try to find as many Windows XP PCs as possible as well as Windows XP laptops. By restoring those Windows XP era computers, you are helping keeping Windows XP alive.
By watching The 8-Bit Guy, I have to say, the cling wrap method works faster than submersion, but you have a higher chance of getting an uneven/marbled coating. Otherwise, this has been a fun video. I wish I could find a place that recycles computers in my area. They just take them to Waste management to recycle them. Nowhere sells old computers because they don't want to go through the hassle of removing/wiping the Harddrives unfortunately.
@@samicemkandaz4928 Thats an incredibly disingenuous statement. Why don’t you put some context behind it so everyone can see how much that doesn’t relate to the original comment.
My XP machine is a VPR Matrix Tower. 1 Gig of Ram original mouse and keyboard. It was designed by Porshe and I tell people that it is the only Porshe I will ever afford. Always enjoy your vids.
Well these socket 478 based CPUs came out when XP was new,but indeed it runs on very low end PCs,lowest one i ran it on had a Pentium 2 with 64MB of RAM.Also these old PCs ran way faster on HDDs than Windows 10 would run on an HDD
Hey psiveeri you are an icon man. I love this channel and enjoying old computers is one of the simple things that is a lot of fun. There is too much consumerism with people buying the latest item and then throwing it away a few months later. So that’s why I love this channel, restoring old computers is so satisfying to watch.
Windows XP was my childhood!!! We had it on our home computer for the longest time and my elementary school used the software on all of their computers.
I actually have a Windows XP era PC running the 2021 version of Windows 10. Its a Sony vaio desktop PC with a 2.8 ghz Pentium D cpu with 2 gb of ram and a 7800 gt graphics card. Its manufacture date is July of 2005. Still runs okay in Windows 10 for very basic tasks like email, office work and web browsing.
Windows XP was a great OS and it's great to see it still being used. These old computers still have a lot of uses and we should keep them running instead of tossing them out.
That's why you should keep these around. I sold a 2010 Toshiba laptop to a technology recycling company in 2020, I'll probably regret it but I didn't have the space and repair would be replacing all the parts.
I had a case like this in 2004, the setup was almost the same as this one, nostalgic video, what a good time, very good video congratulations, Brazil follows your work.
4:32 The pin was actually bent during the removal. If the cpu is removed with the cooler, therefore without the lever released, it will bend the pins. It happened to my Ryzen too. There fore it is always a good idea to heat up the heat sink a little to soften the silicon paste, then twist it to detach the cpu.
I actually love viewing these videos. Also did this pc have a windows xp home or professional edition? And does this pc have an old Bluetooth 2.0 adapter with an old WiFi/cellular antenna in the tower? Edit: yep it has a windows XP pro
Why does this have so many likes? It very clearly does not have any wireless or Bluetooth adapter, you can see the PCI slots are empty when he shows the GPU being installed
I always try to save as many computers from the trash as I can, because people will be surprised how useful they can become with some cheap upgrades and some love.
The CPU coming out with the cooler seems to be quite common with Pentium 4s. The exact same thing happened to me once and I actually accidentally delidded the CPU trying to get them separated, which killed it.
Use a mechanical pencil to fix bent CPU pins. Empty the pencil lead, slip the tip tube over the pin, then just stand it upright. Needs a quality metal tip, not the cheap plastic kind.
@@jackkraken3888 I can't take credit for the idea. I've been using it since the 1980's... and learned it from engineers dating back from at least the 1970's.

This is wild to see as I literally found a Windows XP computer with this exact case lying on the side of the road a couple months back! Cleaned it up and it's now my go to for XP related nonsense
This PC was so lucky to get that kind of deep clean. I often think of all of the many other PCs that aren't so fortunate, let us spare a thought for them.
I have a computer that runs Windows Me. But I never been able to get it to work. It’s an “E Machines 800MHz” Im from Fort Wayne, Indiana USA 🇺🇸 by the way.
i got a very similar rig from a bin in victor harbor, unfortunately the pentium 4 board was buggy so its now got a gigabyte 775 board and a xeon x5450 running xp . perfect for old school xp games
always used to hate those chassis with the built-in floppy port... can't change it and it looks old.... always hated the floppy drives too, always broken or impossible to find a face for them... nice restoration. I personally would have scrapped the MB and put in a AM4 MB...
I've worked on similar PCs before. Thermal Compound ALWAYS acts like glue when pulling CPU out. I recommend: - Drilling cooling/fan holes wherever possible (use tape completely over panels/case, marked where to drill, sand after). - Add dust filters over ALL case cooling holes. - Painting it something simple like white or black (unless you're fine buying more expensive colours). - Adding new case/rubber feet. - Upgrade CPU/RAM to max (you're willing to spend) - Add SSD. - Add slim or black IDE/ATA Cables. - Installing a lightweight Linux. With software to run older games AND emulation!
I know this video is 3 years old, but I just saw it. I have a Windows XP computer that's VERY similar to the one you restored. The power supply on it died, and I tried to find a suitable one, with no success. Some of the connectors were no longer available. I would love to try to get it running again, starting with buying the exact same power supply model, if I can find it. Maybe Ebay? I built this computer myself after meticulously picking out parts in 2002. Best one I ever had. I might hit you up for some pointers, if that's okay.
At 4:35, it is quite usual for that to happen. It happened to me with pentium 4 and amd cpus with big surface cooler on top. When trying to lift the cooler, no matter what thermal paste is there, the cpu will come along and if the cpu lifted straight, the pins might suffer some bending because the cpu isnt fully out of its socket and we thing something is grabbing the cooler. Copper/alluminium round core coolers are best for cpus and that cooler from the video seems it's from first generations of pentium 4. I usually use a needle with the help of a fine plastic card or a x-acto blade. I would air compress all the computer case first or a vacuum with a tiny brush tip.
@💋 Sweety Hotgirl • Vlogs Wrong place to post that? Adding drops of machine to fans yes can help reduce.... temporarily the fan noise. Behind the fan stick there is usually a rubber cap or just nothing or a piece of plastic and then there is a plastic ring that can be removed to remove the blades.

- Add dust filters over ALL case cooling holes.
- Painting it something simple like white or black (unless you're fine buying more expensive colours).
