    As someone who used to hack up Dell optiplexes to make sweet sleepers, I highly recommend you completely empty the pc case before using a dremel or angle grinder.
    This will make sure there is 0% chance of metal dust or shavings from shorting a component on your motherboard

      The beauty of having a physical eeprom programmer is if it flashes a bad bios it usually doesn't matter if the chip isn't damaged you can flash it with one that works once you have a working one. I bricked a board I kept because it had an nforce chipset that was useful for things newer boards can't do anymore, there were two HP boards one had two less ram slots soldered on and three less audio jacks otherwise the boards were identical even the same audio ic they just had it configured differently in the bios which is where my fiddling with the other boards bios to work on mine because the same board with just more ram slots supported more cpus (for segmenting reasons alone as is the other boards bios funcitoned perfectly aside from the audio jacks being in the wrong order and some not existing) so I was trying to get the other boards bios with edits to configure the audio ic for my boards port layout and it halts after the ram test and goes no farther. I didn't have a programmer to fix it or know about them at the time.. so the board got thrown out :(.

      @@MarcoLoves360gamer If you have the same card, the newest VBios from Asus is V5 which works so I think you should be okay. I had attempted the VBios flash when Asus only released V3 which is buggy. I flashed my GB z390 Aorus Master to support Rebar without issues but flashing the Strix to V3 resulted in it not putting out a display on reboot. Thank the Gods that card has dual bios. This allowed me to reboot using the working bios when I flipped the switch. Then I had to 'trick' the graphics card into accepting a modified older bios on the initial bios setting as the newer bios would not install with Asus' program. I had to use a third party install program if I am not mistaken but I got it working in the end. Scary. V5 installs fine though

      Thats actially the exact route I went for building a secondary pc for running Windows (I wanted to run Linux on my main pc but still needed Windows occasionally and hated rebooting)
      I went with an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 SFF, but I don't recommend it because the 3050 intersects the USB 3 header. Getting a right-angle adapter to fit underneath worked, but then it would get this annoying message on boot about the USB header being disconnected because apparently its missing a special HP jumper. Had to solder a small wire to bridge certain pins on the back of the mobo after a ton of RUclips research 😅
      Also the thermals are abysmal, so I added a fan secured by ziptie chains to point it at the GPU lol. Computer is also loud because of the proprietary PSU fan, and cant do much about it. Definitely the most sub-optimal way of making a pc work, and the 300 dollar price tag felt a biiiit overpriced for the performance but it performs steadily and runs all the games I need.
      I should have just gone with an MT build, I really didn't need the SFF form factor 😅

No need to cut anything to fit any LP GPU, has more NVMe m.2 slots, has a better power supply... and it actually has USB3 ports on the rear. It also costs a similar amount of money. There are several auctions on eBay right now for $67, with i5 9500's and 16GB of RAM. As for the GPU, this only confirms what I've been telling people, the BIOS mod is not worth it to run Arc... just be patient and grab a 1650 in an auction for around $100 - $120 instead.

I don't know why that decision was made, or if they didn't have an option, but they really lost a good portion of the market that would have loved a less expensive option... the OEM gaming PC crowd. It's such a missed opportunity. As for LP cards, I get why they're so expensive... it's just a super niche market. As such, they are just very low production, and thus they tend to be more expensive. I was very surprised that the 4060 LP was the same price as the full height cards. Granted, the 4060 was over priced to begin with.
      I really do like the Z2 series. I have a G4 SFF as one of my personal systems and I do like the OEM SFF systems, despite the cost involved. They also have a tower system, which uses the same board, but has room for just about any GPU and comes with a 500 watt or a 650 watt power supply. I really do think people are sleeping on these.

    That model I believe can also have a handle drilled to the top if the battery is on the bottom I did this to mine and I'm able to comfortably pick it up and bring it to friends houses. The hardware upgrades I did was a 4060 for the GPU in a sound card x-fi forte with a pcie extension cable for some odd reason Lenovo decided not to add an extra pcie slot on the bottom so I tucked the pcie extension cable underneath the video card and routed it to the spot where one would be. I also had to make room for that by cutting and using metal snips to cut out of the cage that folds over in that unit. But because of having a GPU in that area I wanted more airflow so I ended up using a Dremel with a cutting blade on it like your friend did in the video and cut out a window on the side panel and used decorative metal sheets from home Depot that had Vents you can duct tape the vents to the panel or use some J-B weld.

    Thanks for putting up this video, I was planning on doing the very same thing with a Fujitsu office PC and an ARC 310. You might wanna try making a windows UEFI install, it also boosts those intel GPUs performance on top of what you get with resizable bar enabling.

    The Xbox Series X 512GB model is officially priced at $299.99 on the Xbox website and $298.99 at Walmart. Therefore, Acearty23 is correct; with an additional $100, one could opt for a better GPU and CPU or a better GPU or CPU and more RAM.
    It's not as complicated as the video suggests; the complexity was likely added for entertainment. This is a solid option for $197.
    Edit: He had an even larger budget. The Xbox Series S 1TB Carbon Black or the (Robot White releasing on October 15, 2024) is priced at $349.99. With that amount, you could easily build a powerful system.

    I remember when those Intel graphics cards came out they were too much at the time for such low performance, but I could totally see it being reasonable in a older computer at a hundred bucks.
    Sometimes it just doesn't make sense how all of those things can go together and be equivalent to an Xbox... But I'm glad you did it and it gives me confidence in doing it myself

    For my series s killer build i bought a 3050 6gb low profile. It's only $170-180. Get a an older sff and slap this in. It should total you $250 or so but it is worth it. A380 is not bad its just if bios have no Rebar than it will limit performance.

    I've been through most of these steps with different systems. At first I was yelling along about ReBar and how OEM systems have pretty much guaranteed BIOS locks in place (checksums) to avoid even booting hardware flashed BIOSes. Until the very end I was yelling "that won't work" at every step.
    I'm surprised Lenovo doesn't lock via checksum. For HP and Dell, I can almost guarantee they won't boot with a hardware flashed BIOS because it expects a certain checksum. It'll just give you a beautiful series of beeps.

    Calling it now. Series S is going to be great as a plug and play 1080P gaming machine pulling in great performance in a smaller package. The portability can't be beat nor can the power consumption. The PC will keep up in gaming performance and perhaps even exceed depending on game title, and available upscale technologies. The PC will prove to have so much more utility in software availability and video encoding. The PC of these specs would be great for video editing, programming, music production, small time server utility (Plex server/ file or printer server) There's a lot of pros and cons to each, and I think the ThinkCentre was a perfect pick with Arc GPU
