    I have one of these M93P desktops just sitting in my closet. You have inspired me sir. Now with the advent of Linux OS like Batocera, this would be an excellent option to make a cool gaming rig to bring back those old Gamecube, Dreamcast, Playstation and Xbox memories. Thanks so much!

    The M93p is a good deal on ebay, I just got one for US35 bucks shipped. I'm using it as a media center pc.
    I swapped out the HDD for an SSD (already had one) installed Windows, added an 8TB storage drive, an extra 8gig stick of ram (already had one) and a USB wifi dongle
    It works great and fits neatly on the shelf under my TV and matches my other black devices.

    Omg, I also upgrade my M93p with the same components that you used in yours, I even used the same case xD. With the difference that I added the Cooler Master i71c heatsink, if you use that PC for only gaming, I highly recommend it, the processor temperatures improve with that heatsink for an absurdly cheap price.

    • @HaisteComputerRepair

      Awesome, thanks for the tip. I have looked at that CPU cooler before and will try it out soon. The case is pretty good and is the best budget I can find for new with a window. I just finished another build with one, actually. Glad to hear yours is working out! Would love to see some pictures if they exist somewhere.

      In my experience, the CPU and SYS Fans will run at full speed unless the thermal sensor is connected. Otherwise, the motherboard will operate as intended. I have forgotten to connect the thermal sensor a few times and this was the case. Did a Lenovo motherboard not work for you with the thermal sensor not present?

    What a timely video. I am doing something similar with an older Lenovo M82 with an i3 in it. I am going to place it into a nice HP tower I have cleaned up. Did you have any trouble with the IO shield? I see that it is somewhat proprietary how it is held in place in the Lenovo case. One additional step I did take is to lubricate the case and PSU fans to keep the noise down. Of course, my fans are not new like you have here.

    • @HaisteComputerRepair
      @HaisteComputerRepair  2 года назад

      There's no trouble fitting the I/O shield into a conventional tower case. Should be like any other. If a fan is noisy, I lubricate with some 3-in-1 oil. I've had some good luck bringing ceased fans back to life this way. Good luck with the M58!

      @HaisteComputerRepair  2 года назад +1

      So long as your new case has a spot for the optical drive, it should be fairly straightforward moving it over. Removing the optical drive from the M91p case is easy, you just have to depress a switch and pull it out. You'll see. Just keep an eye out as many PC cases will not have a spot for the optical drive, it is becoming less common. Thanks for watching!

    • @HaisteComputerRepair
      @HaisteComputerRepair  Год назад +1

      The original SFF case can fit a "Low Profile" Graphics card, in which case you would not need a power supply upgrade. The SFF case does not have the space for a full sized ATX Power Supply. Think of everything being cut in half to fit in a small case. Here's an example of a GTX 1050 ti Low Profile Card, that would fit in the SFF case and not require power from a power supply: www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/zotac-gtx-1050-ti-low-profile.b4295

      @@kinabloo The GTX 1650 Low Profile card is the next step up. Your friend is right in some capacity, but remember you are working with the hypothetical of gaming on an office PC. Also within your budget. Also, I am talking about Low Profile cards, of which you are limited in choice. The low profile gtx 1050ti and gtx 1650 are quite expensive new. If you can find one used for a good price, that's awesome. If you are wanting to play top tier games at high settings, you will have to save up. If you are ok with playing on low settings and saving up on the side, even better.

      No, you would have to use a SATA to PCI adapter. But, make sure the stock 240W power supply can handle that card and the rest of the system. Look up your card on Google by searching "name of card" followed by "techpowerup" and look for what it is rated in W.
