Amazing job! Don't beat yourself up over the small stuff. The monitor turning is totally a bonus and not necessary at all. This is so cute and adorable and really bring you back to the way computers were in the 90's.
I just found your channel through Instructables, and I have to say this was beyond outstanding from start to finish! Thanks for the great mini PC project !
Man you've got a downright gorgeous workspace, that's the only way to describe it. It was nice to see someone using resin for parts like these. You just can't get that level of detail with a normal printer.
Great project! Tbh the only real flaw I can see is going with a Windows XP-styled skin for a PC with that kind of design - that's a Windows 2000 machine at most, though W98 would be just as fitting. XP era Dells were more often black and much more rounded and stylized in their designs IIRC. Now, this might be on the "going a bit too far" side, but once you're making your own SD card reader PCB, why not make a 3D printed floppy disk microSD card holder that fits into a suitable slot, where the card interfaces with a reader? Or a CD-rom tray you can pull out that holds the card? This would of course require a lot of careful design, plus probably disassembling an SD reader to get the pins without the housing, but it would be incredibly cool. Still, even as it is now, 10/10 project, super well done!
The amount of joy I am getting from seeing this work in action is astronomical. No joke, if you were to make these for sale, I would be front & center ready to buy one.
OMG! This is AWESOME! Well done! If you plan on selling these I MUST have one. I learned to code basic on these so I have a deep love for these machines. Thanks for making this vid and sharing your build! ❤️❤️
You're right floppy makes more sense but I had to compromise because of the alignment with the add-on PCB and to keep things simple. Otherwise, I would have needed another PCB or extender, or even switched the floppy and CD drive, but that looked a bit weird.
Dang, I didn’t realize home 3d printing had come that far. I’ve never done any myself, but occasionally check out different 3d print projects, so I don’t follow it super closely. But the quality on those prints looks amazing. I’ll have to look into resin printing some more. Also, the quality of this whole build (and video) is incredible!
FDM printers are getting quite fast and detailed too. Currently, which you go with depends on your use case: Resin (SLA) printers are kings of detail, so if you want to make a lot of detailed figurines, Resin is the way to go, but it's drawback is that resin is brittle and chips/breaks easily and also should not be subjected to sunlight. PLA/Filament (FDM) printers can't compete on level of detail (yet) but have gotten significantly faster, and allow you to use a wider range of materials that can be quite robust, which is great for part-replication and mechanical use. (Sorry if I'm over explaining.) What is nice, is you can have an intro into either machine style for about $250 these days, which is quite affordable! Though of course, this is one of those realms where "you get what you pay for" is still very apt, and the more you spend on a printer, the more perks and easier to use it is. I have one of both types, and while I use my resin printer a lot more... because all my friends want mini-figs of their DND characters, the PLA printer is by-far the more useful one for tinkering and every-day useful items. (Also, it should be noted, is that the filament printers are typically far cheaper per-print to use, over expensive resin.) While I don't have a particular recommendation for any machine, the stuff coming out of, say, Bamboo Labs is quite good for beginners and pros alike, and might be a good place to start your research if you choose to pursue the bug. I don't recommend going down the rabbit hole of RUclips machine reviews though, there lies madness! (Sarcasm, I always recommend one does their homework. But, you just quickly learn that NONE of the manufacturers are perfect, every machine has it's pros and cons, every 3D print youtuber has their bias favorites, and it's still the "Wild West" where all things are concerned... though a slightly more established and civilized Wild West then it was a decade ago. Heh heh.) Huh, I didn't intend to "go off" here, but here we are.
3D printers have not come far, but they are a bit faster, with a bit less calibration. This project shows that, after printing he had days of finishing to make the plastic look nice.
Dear Salim, honestly, make this a buyable thing... maybe just in a small amount! I've just turned 40 this year, and THIS is exactly what would stop my midlife crisis!
Abso, fuk'n. epic. Your attention to detail, candor/transparency, and production quality of your content earned an enthusiastic subscriber and I can't wait to check out your other vids. Thanks for sharing, what an awesome project!
That's incredible! The screen looks a lot like (and probably is the same as) the 720x720 4" display in my PowKiddy RGB30 handheld games console. It's great for playing horizontal and vertical oriented arcade games. Didn't realise you could buy it separately, so thanks for that. Come to think of it, the speakers look the same too.
To anyone interested in duplicating this without custom-printing the case, those novelty radios inside fake miniature PC cases are basically the same size as this (I actually have one for this sort of purpose). As an extra benefit, the "floppy slot" on some is perfectly sized to a micro-sd.
This is somewhere between astonishing and fantastic. To say that you're cool means to say nothing at all! It's like... I mean.... man I'm totally overwhelmed!!!!!!!
AMAZING. I have been looking at doing this for many years, but basically just sticking a pi inside of an existing case I have that looks like a miniature pc but it is a novelty storage case for floppy discs. But you have gone total next level and the design of it is spot on. Now just to make some miniature speakers! The only thing I would have changed really is having the micro sd slot be a standard sd slot with a microsd inside an adapter card. Not sure if this messes up anything with the pi system, but the bigger sd slot may be less fiddly. If you did a small kickstarter for these (say 1000 units) just the kit without the pi, you would probably get the funding within a day and then some!
Amazing attention to detail, just beautiful. All the old school games i used to play back in the late 90's! Couldn't get Golden Axe to play on my crappy computer running Windows 3.1. My mum didnt want to get Windows 95, cause she had learned on 3.1 and was worried she wouldn't be able to use 95.
this is really cool. heads up that breathing in resin dust can poison you, same with any plastic - but especially when it requires curing. a respirator would help with this
I do design many objects too and I have a subjection: Like Elon says: best part is not part. You should try to reduce drastically the number of screws, there is a lot of solutions with clips included in the model to prevent screws. You should take a look at the Amiga 600 laptop a French guy did. Like me, he tried to remove most screws.
This was absolutely incredible. I have no words! I wish I was as knowledgeable as you in doing something like this! The games shown at the end made me incredibly happy 😊
0:1916:38 Super fast build mode! Damn, I expected some quick and dirty "click bait worthy" content. And, oh boy am I glad to be wrong! You worked a lot, and really have a passion for details, it's awesome! The end result is awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us all.
It was Beautiful, man. I really feels the 90’s vibe in every single piece that you’ve projected all by yourself, and most important thing, all that parts of the project were made with attention in details, even the pronounced parts of texture and the tiny water decals, remembering me in, and I believe, everyone here was delighted by the charming and nostalgic idea. It’s amazing. Greetings from Brazil.
The work you put into this project plus the great editing and camera work are top-notch! The monitor wobble is definitely a real-life thing, so that's actually a "happy little accident." Great video. Subbed for sure so I don't miss out on your other projects!
Beautyful! I think about to built such a thing for myself, theoretically I have everything needed for at home (beside eventually the screen and so) but its pretty much work for.... nostalgy ;) Anyway: gr8 work!!!
Salim , amazing work man, next video suggestions .. 1. video for your setup . 2. video for how you put your camera's and how you make your youtube videos .. keep it forward . best of success!
19:00 Most CAD softwares allow to import pictures, it makes tracing out details that don't have functional dimensions very easy, position one element and use that to scale the picture correctly. Other than that it's mostly a question of experience to properly group elements into the same extrusions, gaining a lot of time at very little cost in accuracy, does it really matter if the curve is perfect ? or if the height of an element is 0.2mm off ? This are the questions I ask myself when grouping elements into the same sketches. Fusion 360 is in my experience pretty heavy in number of functions used, even for an experienced user, so there's only so much one can improve on that level.
This is so cool to see someone else with such skills and like comment, yeh that's how I would have done it! You are gainfully disciplined my dear fellow ;) Such a cool little project bravo!!
You should sell these! I'd buy one!!!
yes... in kit form....me want
Pls sell these and do ship internationally 😢
you could create kits to assemble, you would sell thousands of them 💰💰💰
Yes! I would buy one!
I'm interested in buying as well
19:15 - That "slop" in the monitor... replicates just about every monitor I had back in the day! Great job!
Haha! You’re right! Mine too had that
i came to comment exactly this.
100% the old plastic monitor stands were absolute trash. One solid smack to the desk and the whole thing would wiggle.
@@greenprotag so true
dude you bit me to this coment by 3 weeks :)
the real monitors wobble like that... you nailed it
Yes! 😂 Just missing the "Turbo" button no one knows what does 🤣
@@TheStuartstardust The Turbo button slows down the CPU so it can run older applications at the correct speed.
@@JoBot__so it's more of a slow button
Yea, all my CRT monitors had that wobble too.
@@Planet2763real Correct.
Not gonna lie.
That's sweet AF!
The algorithm did not respect this video enough
Amazing job! Don't beat yourself up over the small stuff. The monitor turning is totally a bonus and not necessary at all. This is so cute and adorable and really bring you back to the way computers were in the 90's.
And ofcourse the mini XP can play Doom 😂
If this was on Amazon would buy it in a heartbeat
but how much would you pay?
the fact you can make something so compact, functional and aesthetically pleasing is a testament to how skilled you are, holy crap.
Bro's got his own mini PC factory!
Nice, would have been cool if the sd card went in to the floppy slot :D
Or, or some sort of business card CD/dvd slot.
This really whips the Llama's ... well you know ;)
Hahaha It’s been a minute I didn’t hear that!

I am happy. I was born to exact moment when computers came to my country, so I could literally grow up with it.
I just found your channel through Instructables, and I have to say this was beyond outstanding from start to finish! Thanks for the great mini PC project !
Same! You have a wide set of skills and tools to match them! 10/10
Honestly bro, I don’t want one … I NEED ONE!! 👋🤩👍✨
Pro level skills and equipment! Great job.
Man you've got a downright gorgeous workspace, that's the only way to describe it.
It was nice to see someone using resin for parts like these. You just can't get that level of detail with a normal printer.
That's some serious engineering right there! It's spot on!

That mini computer looks legit and professional

Thank you! No plans for making any for sale for now but all instructions are available if you wish to make one your self.
OMG! This is AWESOME! Well done! If you plan on selling these I MUST have one. I learned to code basic on these so I have a deep love for these machines. Thanks for making this vid and sharing your build! ❤️❤️
I would have put the SD in the floppy slot instead of the CD slot, but other than that this is fantastic.
You're right floppy makes more sense but I had to compromise because of the alignment with the add-on PCB and to keep things simple. Otherwise, I would have needed another PCB or extender, or even switched the floppy and CD drive, but that looked a bit weird.
@salimbenbouz Those are good reasons. It still looks great. If I had the patience for 3D printing I would make one myself.

This is maybe the coolest thing I've seen anyone do with a 3d printer 🙌
To think that a tiny micro board like the Pi is more capable than the full-size PCs this one is emulating is just bonkers.
Abso, fuk'n. epic. Your attention to detail, candor/transparency, and production quality of your content earned an enthusiastic subscriber and I can't wait to check out your other vids. Thanks for sharing, what an awesome project!
This is what normal people envision when you tell them you built your pc. Nice work on the build!

"even a beginner like me"
but then makes amazing
adorable mini computer.
That brought back all the memories of using my own boxy PC! That's a fantastic build!
يا رجل لقد قمت بعمل أكثر من احترافي !!
أقدر لك هذا ..لم أرى شيئا بهذه الدقة صنع في منزل !
Very cool! You should have make the micro sd card look like a floppy disk!
That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time!
The shadows part just blew my mind!

This kind of machine I only had in the mid-90s, my first computer was the 5150.

Wake up babe Salim Benbouziyane just uploaded.
I've just about snapped because of how overused this is.
You are a tech artist. Kudos! 😎👍🏻👍🏻
This was absolutely incredible. I have no words! I wish I was as knowledgeable as you in doing something like this! The games shown at the end made me incredibly happy 😊
This is insanely cool. You have, hands down the coolest desktop toy/decoration in existence.
I've seen a lot of minature computer projects The fact that this runs and works like an old PC is amazng.
0:19 16:38 Super fast build mode!
Damn, I expected some quick and dirty "click bait worthy" content.
And, oh boy am I glad to be wrong!
You worked a lot, and really have a passion for details, it's awesome!
The end result is awesome!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us all.
This looks close to 1/6 scale, im a collector and I would absolutely buy one of these.
This is a work of nostalgic art.
If someone like Apple or Microsoft made one of these as a mini version of a mid 90s 486 PC I would be sold.
This truly is BLISS
(Xp wallpaper)
Polished project start to finish amazing
Thank you
Aside from the usb ports on the pi, I think you can put the raspberry pi in the top of the computer (the screen housing)
looks awesome, I wish youd upload more :)

Amazing
Just what the ladies asked for. I dream BIG some dream small. Let's move on!
Amazing work !
This with HDMI in as a monitor would be amazing. Bonus feature, run your PC's HDD and reset pin outs to this to have them flicker on the little pc.
if this on sale many people would buy it without thinking
I love everything about this. Beautiful work.
This was a really nice and fun build to watch. Thank you for putting this project together and sharing it with the world.
Man this is such a cool project!
That is fantastic ! I wish someone will mass produce and sell it.
Awesome... 😎
Magnificent! AND Adorable!
The work you put into this project plus the great editing and camera work are top-notch! The monitor wobble is definitely a real-life thing, so that's actually a "happy little accident." Great video. Subbed for sure so I don't miss out on your other projects!
Absolutely perfect, what's your next project? A little Macintosh perhaps?
Carinissimo! Very nice! Bellissimo! Che nostalgia i vecchi computer.
Looks great. I have a 90s Dell Optiplex on a shelf above me, but I still like the idea of making one of these.
Beautyful! I think about to built such a thing for myself, theoretically I have everything needed for at home (beside eventually the screen and so) but its pretty much work for.... nostalgy ;) Anyway: gr8 work!!!
old computer image and its work is very nice, congratulations 😙😊
Cool project and amazing attention to details!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
You better patent your funny
Invention. It's like Gold.
Shark Tank for funding.
You must use a respirator while spray painting or air brushing
Greetings from Poland:)
Would be fun if you had it set up so you could open Geocities. I know there's a full Geocities dump floating around out there.
Very cool build and great video. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Be careful and always use protective gear including masks when working (and especially sanding) with resin
Your projects are incredible. Thanks for sharing your process with us.
Salim , amazing work man, next video suggestions .. 1. video for your setup . 2. video for how you put your camera's and how you make your youtube videos .. keep it forward . best of success!
Finally a proper fully working miniature. It's gorgeous
