Your mother is very lucky to have a son like you.
Hey, thanks man
ya i would never give my mother a computer, its unheard of, who the hell gives stuff to his mother
honestly Jeffrey Bozko is kind of an ungrateful bastard but quad 1080 ti would be a wast when they would never be needed for what his mom does on the computer maybe for dedicated porn pc but not for regular browsing XD
@Entertainment Simulation not saying we shouldn't be grateful but none of us asked to be brought into this world.
It's a responsibility to that comes with having kids.
@@jackphoenix5253 dedicated porn PC 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I laughed IRL
Miss my mum every day. Nothing feels better than doing something nice for your mum coz the truth is - you can't ever repay them. Well done! This was beautiful.
"Super old, 2011"
Me, looking over at my Phenom II...
lmao and i was doing a AMD Phenom II X4 build with a GTX gpu lol for 130$
@@DD-ow4or I just built a pc at an X4 985 old is still good as long as it has an ssd
@@HellFire178 yeah true it goes good with it
I'm replying on a dell dimension 8400
About a month ago I upgraded from a Phenom ii X3 720 to a Ryzen 2700. That Phenom setup was my main rig for a decade, fantastic CPU.
Your mother being so surprised and happy, thats priceless, and worth every second of the built, and more.
I gave my parents my old Lenovo M72e Tiny PC (i5-3470t, 8gb DDR3, 256gb SSD) for Christmas this year to replace the A6-6400k system I built for them 4 or 5 years ago. They couldn't believe something that size could not only replace their entire computer tower, but be faster at the same time. I had to turn it on in front of them before they believed me, and now everyone else in the family wants a tiny computer too!
Haha, its pretty crazy how small computers are these days. Glad you got to blow their minds.
VeeTeeF a6 6400k are not had cpu for the price! , all of our office computer has a6 6400k with 750evo 120gb ssd and they are fast enough to do exel work and basic web work + some gaming when they employees are bored.......
Kuntal Ghosh My parent's computer also only had 4gb of ram. I probably could've upped the ram to fix some of the multitasking issues, but I got the Lenovo for only $150 so I figured swap everything out.
3470t=slower than a6 GPU
faster CPU
show them a core M compute stick... USB sized.
Zhao Zhao My parents have no need for the GPU performance. The most GPU intensive thing they do is watch RUclips videos. The 3470t can do that better due to supporting hardware acceleration for newer standards than the a6-6400k, having much higher IPC, and having hyperthreading.
Love her reaction! Good times.
Everybody loves seeing someone take care of their mom! You're a good son, Jay. :)
And he is a drug dealer 👍
Love the creativity you showed in this video, putting the mini-PC into her old computer. My mom is gone now but it's a wonderful thing to help your parents with their computers, thanks for reminding me of the love I shared in doing this once upon a time.
*OH MY GOODNESS*
You stole my comment idea, dammit!
Watching in 2021 Jan
that happiness on face of your parents...
That's priceless man, one amazing family !!
this would be good with the new Ryzen Apu build :D
2200G cost like $30 less than that just 3 months later and destroys it in cpu and absolutely murders it in gpu by a factor of 5 :D
this is exactly what I was planning to do lol
I think there are no low profile coolers for the AM4 socket to fit in this case, I've been looking to make a build work myself.
Duncan Pringle noctua has one :)
I'm sure I read this case was a max cooler size of 35mm or something and the smallest I could find for the AM4 was something like 40mm. But if anyone could link to a suitable cooler than I'll be building my HTPC/light gaming rig inside one of these.
Your mom looks like someone with a great personality! Must be a great parent too if she raised someone as kind as you :)
Computer inside a computer, nice gift.
But we must go deeper. Put a Raspberry Pi inside the Mini-ITX computer.
@@knightshousegames And put a smartwatch inside the Raspberry Pi
@@sal_strazzullo And then the final level. Infuse the Smartwatch with Nanomachines.
@@knightshousegames 🤔 what if I tell you that it's not the final level...
I could put picomachines inside the nanomachines 🤔
We can only go so deep, past that exists an event horizon from which we cannot return, beyond that point exists only madness. We must know when to ask "Should we?" rather than "Can we?", in the name of the greater good.
Mom's are the best. But, so are good sons. Jay, that was a very nice thing you
did for your sweet mom. I hope she realizes just how special you are. All my best to your
sweet family. Wishing you all a thousand more great Christmas's.. Greg
Much respect for hooking up moms like that!
Happiness with the build: VERY GOOD!
Happiness with Mother's reaction: PRICELESS!!!
Seeing the smile in your family reaction is definitely the highlight of this video, thanks grt video and build. Happy Holidays
Hey man, yea it was great she loved it. Happy Holidays to you too
Ah man! That's the sweet thing I've seen in a while.
That happiness is why I help people with their builds and tech issues.
I bet you do
I bet too
A year after watching this video still brings a tear to my eyes her reaction is so wholesome.
Her reaction is amazing oh my goodness 💕 love seeing happy people. Your a great son.
"Productivity" also known as browsing the internet
Nice build though
A $150 Celeron N3450 mini PC from China with the size slightly larger than the palm will do.
Rev_dude i
sure... but that doesn't really make for as interesting of a video as this idea does and wouldn't even be as much fun to put together.
Rev_dude productivity doesn't refer to editing and rendering videos only.
Productivity software is well defined -- document editing, spreadsheets, light graphics editing, etc. Generally, Microsoft Office or equivalent suites/programs.
autumn is approaching here in Uruguay and it's starting to get cold, around 13ºC, this warmed my heart for a day or two.
I bet she will swear a lot because of moving from w7 to w10 xD
Haha, I don't think she has even noticed yet.
Tek Everything i don't think so. My aunt had a lenovo thiccentre m58 and changed it to a new pc. Xp to 10. I had to make it look like xp to get her work with it
asc3n d3ad no, its okay. It is just the background, the wallpaper, the taskbar color and the start button. Nothing else. The start menu remains the same
im ded 😂
Brother, this inspired me to do the same for my mother...! The outcome was much the same...Thank you for leading us and sharing a special moment! Ur the MAN bro....!
Awesome man, glad your mom enjoyed it too
"the cool thing about intel chips is that they come with coolers"
*chuckles in AMD*
Ikr, I was like, lol wut?
boy have times changed
qline17 I agree, my only hope now is that the victory doesn’t get to AMDs head and they become the new intel
@@afallingtree9114 perhaps they will theres no telling what might happen although rn is an exciting time for the pc market place
@@quentin0416 well besides PSU prices, you are defiantly correct. although as much as i enjoy seeing prices for PC components so low id be lying if i said i dont still have flashbacks to the crypto mining days.
That last part with your mom opening it on Christmas was so cool dude. Got me. I’ve had this idea for a while but yours was perfect. Thank you for the inspiration.
That was awesome! I loved her reaction!
Yea it was great. Easily the best part of the day.
Thank you for turning me onto this case. I built a new HTPC with it and a i-9100 CPU. The combination is quick, quiet, cool and gets the job done handily. My old case was an Antek ISK 300-150 that I liked because it supported a discreet graphics card. Now, the Intel 630 graphics is all I need to support 4K video playback.
I gave my mom my old dell hybrid a couple of months ago . I changed the old hdd to a ssd, installed windows 10, and downloaded the brave browser and vlc for her.
Nice... how does she like it?
She likes it . the dell hybrid is small like the wii mini, and doesn't take up a lot of space. since it has a dvd player she can also watch some of her movies.
Nice, I had to get an external disc drive for my mom. I forgot old people still use dvds
Tek Everything I'm not old lol!
Did a similar thing with a Intel NUC for my Dad's birthday. It's an awesome idea and the folks really appreciate it. Dad uses it mainly for RUclips movies and gathering recipes, internet banking and occasional browsing, I hooked it up to the 50" Samsung TV I got him last year. These small PCs are great.
"Yo I heard you needed a computer. So I put a computer INSIDE your computer!"
"Yo dawg...."
im pretty sure thats how you overclock
X to the Z
You are such a sweet person. Your mom's reaction is just so heartwarming. Thank you for uploading this video =)
wow 2 sticks of ram, so much love for your mom
That was fantastic. I loved her expression when she realized it was a New PC inside of her old one. Clever!
you're an amazing son to have. The look on her face was priceless.
Your mom seems like a warm person. Like, just a pleasant person to be around.
I just built a temporary computer for my friend with an AMD Athlon from 2005. It works pretty well for a 12 year old CPU. Runs Windows 8.1, too.
It sounds like you don't like your friend.
lel
Can I have more info please
That reveal vid was so wholesome; made me smile. Thanks for the awesome vid. Not only did you show us an awesome, everyday build but how it would be in an everyday environment.
That's so cool of Intel to include coolers with their CPUs. AMD does the same thing.
it's included before lol.
The Intel ones are garbage and are really ugly. The amd ones look decent for stock
@@sbf2557 they also perform decent
I still using intel cooler that came with my i5-8400 cpu.. as long as cpu temp not exceeded 50 c.. no problem for me..
Wow! Nice job! Your Mum is a really nice lady, and she looked so pleased. You should be proud.
"OH MY GOODNESS, THATS SO CRAAZY"
*sub*
I signed in Just to tell you, what a wonderful family you have. And what a great son you are. Its soooo nice to see things like this. Family is so important, and this was inspiring. Thank you.
Hey, man. I know this is two years old (almost to the day) but I wanted to say good on you. Your mother seemed to really appreciate it, and it was super considerate of you. I wish more people did things like this.
It was worth watching just to see her joy. Your mama raised you right.
This was some really wholesome content, awesome build and I loved your moms reaction.
This computer is so cool. It's nice to give a present like this to parent.
pretty sweet man, most rewarding pc build i've done to date was for my mom.
In this day and age of "me me me" it's refreshing to see a young man who gives of himself and makes her not only a pc but it makes her smile also. Thank You Sir!!!
ngl if that was my mom she would think its a cheese grater
@@andreasdettkjelston7415 Oh no. RIP mac pro
Andreasdett Kjelston most shittiest thing! Better to get a hactonish instead
You are a great son to do that for your Mother, I am proud of you and I don't even know you. God bless!
2011 super old? My school's computer still even have a pentium 4 inside
You should transfer
@sleeting hahahaha
Our's use core duos
my school has pentium ll
My school has i7
Thats nice of you man. I while ago I gave my mum my old Dell desktop with a fresh install of Windows 10, she was over the moon.
crazy to see that 2x4 2400 MHz kit retailing for $100 two years ago... now, you can get double the GB at 3000 MHz for half the price
Man your mom has to be the coolest person ever, her reaction is awesome
I clicked on this video accidentally because I thought it was JayzTwoCents, but I'm glad I stumbled upon it, I'm subbing!
Ha, same name... different channel. Glad you clicked!
I subscribed because of the joy on your moms face well done sir
I dont know why im watching this in 2019, but this is one epic video.
LOVE the idea of stashing it inside the old PC case.
Mate, your mom old build is better than my current build
You are a wonderful son. Great video. I may try to tackle something like this later this year.
Pretty sure what you used was a crucial balistix
Great case indeed.
Nice gesture, like it. Mothers are special.
The ending was so heartwarming.. ;D
I’m glad you included you giving your mom the gift.
Nice build for your mom.
We are missing some important info in your video : where is the external power supply?
It's certainly a big brick and would be useful to show what must go with the SFF case.
It would be the size similar to any common laptop adapter. he said 19v 120w - thats not gonna be oversized.
EDIT: the issue would be finding one that has a long enough cord on the computer end so that its not dangling mid air behind the desk.
The brick may or may not be big. It depends on what wattage/type you go with.
Bro very glad to see you do things for your mon ... family first everything else next -God Bless
hey nice vid mate. will build one in the same case for my livingroom but waiting for the new amd apus with vega graphic
Yea, when those finally come out I will definitely do a build with one.
Same man, I am waiting ryzen apus and 7nm :D. And I want the build most compact and decent enough powerful mini pc :)
TheLostBoy yepp your right mini itx stays mini itx size :-p
I know size wont be change but 7nm will be more powerful
how did the asus w/vega work out?
i am thinking in building one just like this to have on living room, connected to TV like a "media pc". Search the case model on google and now i am here watching you doing exactly what i intended to. Thats cool. Thanks!
He: We are gonna be on a "budget" just 500$
My broke ass: "😐 i can't even buy a thermal paste"
i have some i can dab in a zip loc bag for you but you'd have to pay $20 for shipping. lol
@@dronus XD thanks man that would help reduce the temp for sure! :D
@@Kris4Infinity 😜, I'm actually have a heating problem myself. Might have to dab some and see what's the dealio.
that’s like $700 - $800 in my country
Could try getting a job 🤔
broo she was so happy! what a nice gift !!
I made a built for both of my parents
i5 4790k
GTX 960 2gb
16gb DDR3 1600mhz
2TB HDD
256GB SSD
500W BeQuiet PSU
Hot damn are your parents going to be gaming?
lmao so overkill
I love seeing non computer people getting excited about computers! That was a really slick build that noctua heatsink REALLY topped it off
2:26 "But it not give MDMA speeds". Can i ask u, what you do a night before this video?
MDMA... obviosuly
That is awesome man. I am glad you went slick on the case, and something small that won't use that much space.
2:34 "...for the MOTHERboard" :D
Im planning to do something like this for my Mum, thanks for the demo its gonna help me a lot
unfortunately I can only give you one like, but I also subscribed
Thanks bro
So cool! I like how easy you illustrated the whole build. Nice surprise too! God bless your mom
Is the motherboard on tall-ish standoffs. Reason I ask is a good trick is to route some cabling under the motherboard- they are insulated so won't short. I do it all the time in my builds especially for the eps connector and fan cables.
No, it isn't on tall standoffs. There is very little space between the board and the case bottom.
Nice Job! I built something similar for my Mom several years ago. I loaded Xubuntu on it. She absolutely loves it and still uses it everyday. She took to linux really fast and I set up her XFCE desktop so it works like windows
“The cool thing about intel cpus is that they come with a cooler”
So do amd cpus tho...
Newer ones, good luck finding an AM3 Socket AMD CPU that is new and in box.
Edit: if he doesn't mean just on the cheap end (like what I originally meant.) he could mean for the CPU Cooler height clearance, the AMD Stealth and Wraith have some issues, case by case basis. (double entendre meant.)
You are not the first person to make this comment. I didn't say or suggest that AMD CPU's don't come with coolers.
Tek Everything just sounds like you’re implying it
Newer Athlon 3000ge would be so much better here... too bad it's 2 years too late
@@Tekeverything Uh oh, defensive.
I wish there were more cases for this segment of builds. But yea good on you for building for your mom like that.
Core i3 for word processing? I still use core 2 duo for video editing. 😸
Celeron j4005.
@@rohitk8797 For word processing or heavy work? ☺
For basic everyday task.
It's an intel nuc. The reason why i bought it because it runs on 10-15 watts. I can listen to music , watch movies ,do my work for hours and don't have to worry about electricity bill.
And it doesn't take much space. Its mounted behind the monitor.
Sure, you could find something 'less powerful', but in this instance, it's not so much the actual specs of the processor, but what's readily and inexpensively available - even if it is overkill for the application. On the plus side, that rig will probably be more than sufficient for mom's needs for quite a long time.
I just resurrected a Core2 Duo a couple of weeks ago - an old used Core2 motherboard and CPU into a 2004-vintage eMachine case. I use it to run XP Home and some older software I have that simply will not run in Win10. You're right - it's still a very capable machine and handles that old software with power to spare.
Jay, may God bless you. Making your mother happy is the best thing you can do. I'm proud of you
"OH MY GOODNESS"
"OH MY DAMN"
You mom must have been a great mom to deserve a great son like you.
Why not g4560? Same thing, but saved money u could drop to RAM
"same thing"
Pentium=i3
right
Zhao Zhao both 2 cores 4 threads with hyperthreading, small difference yes but they are practically the same, thats why intel rose the g4560's price because people who knew their shit just dropped the i3's since there was no use in buying them anyways. do your research mate
Muhammad Shuginubi or just saved money in general. No one needs more than 8 gb for casual web browsing, office work and occasional photo browsing.
+Smirnoff Vodka
i3's iGPU is much better - he's not using dedicated graphics.
gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Intel--HD-610-Desktop-Kaby-Lake-vs-Intel-HD-630-Desktop-Kaby-Lake/m225196vsm178724
do your research mate
Zhao Zhao we were talking about the cpu, not the integrated graphics, cpu wise there is no difference as i stated. you couldve just said something like oh my bad but no you gotta try and find a way out making you look like even more of a fool
Dude- you are brilliant! what a great idea. thanks for sharing
At 3:50 I wasent looking and i thought someone was at the door
Great PC for parents who are not into the fuzz and just want a decent PC. Good man.
Loved the build, but I can not stop wondering, why not a notebook?
I had the same thought at first, but she said repeatedly that she didn't want a laptop for whatever reason.
It's for his mom and he wants to put effort into making it
Just why are there any dislikes at all ? A nice present from a nice son ! If there is anything to criticize in the vid then say it in a friendly way...
Awwwwweeee
AWWWWWEEEE
Great video, great build explanation and, loved seeing your Mom open it up and being so pleased! Kudos!
you and oz need to collab
Who is OZ?
My friend, OzTalksHW :)
I hadn't heard of him... Just checked out his channel, I like his stuff a lot.
Sidenote... checked out your channel too. Reeven just shipped me a Brontes, I am using it in one of my upcoming videos. Nice comparison you did there.
Thanks dude! I look forward to watching your video on it! You should join the Discord Server he's on!
love the expression on your mother's face ..after she opens her gift.
Could have made it into a Hackintosh.
Exactly what I was thinking
what's the point of that, the parts might not have been supported and the mother is more used to windows
and windows is better
@@poopidoopi9575 Windows is better! Classic! Funny guy..
@@Malc180s ya windows is better...
Could have made it a Devuan machine /s
Beautiful gift for those who work with a PC
What!!! No thermal paste 😱
the stock cooler comes with pre-applied thermal paste btw
LMAO definitely new to the computer building world huh.... 🤐
its already had thermal pad,.
man, that's so awesome.. nice snug build.. Mom was happy, that's all there is to it
