    I wish we had more people that respected these older machines. Props to you! This is coming from a person who still uses their 2010 ThinkPad in 2022.

    Tossing a bit of money towards this would make it a pretty decent lower cost rig.
    Like a 1150 xeon 4 core 8 thread cpu (roughly double performance from that I3 4130)
    Like a xeon E3-1240 V3 released june 2013 & is basically a I7 4770 performance wise but cheaper then the actual 4770 used.
    Gpu like a 1050 ti or 1060 6 gb would be pretty good for this as well.

      The E3 1240 v3 is a great cpu if you can get them cheap.

      Finding a working mobo can kinda offset that cost at times. Set up is also usually more of a pain. Sometimes you can run into actually work based i7 4770 for next to nothing, too - with less of a battle to get it working. But a lot of this channel is basically working with stuff he got for free or next to free. It's like pretending to be a teen just moving out and surviving off ramens.

    I love this channel. Takes me back to when I was some poor 20-ish year old kid putting together junkers so that I could play games. This just proves that you don't need big money to play PC games. Although these cheap old rigs will limit you slightly.

    holy fuck, I knew you did retro modding I assumed you did retro gaming but damn Apex skills right there. Old time viewer from like 2017, back when you made the BO3 Optiplex. I was like 19 when I wanted to make one. Good video my guy.

    If you're willing to take the time, look up the layout, and buy some Dupont wires then you can easily wire up the front panel on this to the front panel on the case you have it in. I've done several swaps using the Thinkcentre M systems. They often work with CPUs outside of the "official" specs in a similar way to the Dell Optiplex systems.

      You can do it! Just remember to wear safety goggles/glasses because cutting disks WILL shatter on you. And cover your nose and mouth with something while you're doing it too, you don't want to be breathing all that junk in or else you'll be smelling/tasting heated metal for a while afterwards.

    I have this dell xps 8700 that wont turn on, if I hold the power supply button then it kind of turns on but doesn't post. Hitting the power button does nothing do you have any suggestions to get it to work. The motherboard light is also amber orange. The specs are i7 4790 x4 4gb 1600mhz 256gb msata drive with the stock power supply

    • @modstek
      @modstek  2 года назад

      I would try following the power button wires to the front panel on the motherboard and pull it out. Then use a small flat head screwdriver to hold the two posts and see if it powers on. If it does the power switch is faulty or gummed up.
