- Hello and Welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we'll be taking a look at a Shuttle PC...Which is in needless to say a bit of a shitty state, it cost me £5 from the local bootfair, strewn amongst tech and other garbage, and they now appear to also be a common site over on ebay at very low prices, in case you want one yourself why not check out:

Some kid from the school the pc came from probably stuffed the book in there so he didn’t have to do his home work on othello
So... You ordered Othello and it came "packaged" in a PC. Seems like a good deal to me.
XD
Hhhuhhyhh
five pounds for a classic work of literature and a free pc! Bargain!
They probably realized that anyone buying a book in this day and age would need a digital copy, and instead opt to give the PC with it just in case.
yeah Othello for £5 seems like a good deal
I don't think I have ever heard "Geforce 6100" and "capable" in the same sentence before. I mean it is capable of producing a image but that is about the limits of its capabilities.
GeForce 6100 isn't capable at all... how about that
It is quite good at any DX7 or 8 retro games !
Geforce 6150se works on windows 7 and it supports aero
I have a random AGP 6200 lying around and an XFX 5600
You broke the seal.
NO WARRANTY FOR YOU NOW, HA!
I don't think the warranty would even be active still lol. Not like they would repair it anyway with a copy of Othello in it
sims 2 music with a cool guy restoring pcs, pls do more videos like this one.
Oh that's why the music sounds familiar lol
i was about to comment about the sims 2 track lol
2 years late, but holy shit the Sega GT 2002 music is oozing nostalgia
Heh "solvent" Spray, thats £1 worth of poundland monitor cleaning kit, which surprisingly is not half bad and the brush is quite useful unlike the micro microfiber cloth.
Budget builds you should try to make this into a budget sleeper build
The case design is a bit restrictive.
LairdDeimos it certainly is, but I think it would be a good challenge. Like, set a reasonable goal for benchmarks after the overhaul, and try to achieve it on the lowest possible budget. I think it would make for an interesting video and I know some of my friends would. We're all into smaller, powerful PC's.
@@troyguinn303 a Ryzen APU would be pretty nice.
That PC was more capable than I thought! Though I wonder how much you can upgrade it, just for fun. 😄
yeah upgrading this lil' thing would be really interesting to watch!
Whap in a 1030. Looked like a 16x slot to me! 😂👌🏼
Phil Causey gt 740 would do
Phil Causey The video card has to be powered directly by PCI slot and be low powered for 250W power supply.
PCs like this were always Shuttle's niche, a few other companies have tried to compete with them but never could quite get a design that worked well.
Unfortunately, as you pointed out, their PSUs were a big con. They were proprietary, and often very poorly designed. The biggest design fault is using garbage Taiwanese capacitors, which means these PSUs don't have a long life before the capacitors start failing. I have an earlier Shuttle XPC which had an Athlon XP 3200+ originally, but the PSU died.
The PSU actually caught on fire due to a failed capacitor that caused a zener diode to clamp hard on a voltage line, which generated so much heat it ignited the PCB. Before I could get it under control, there was a quarter size hole burned through the PCB. A replacement PSU for mine was $70, and I opted to try and repair it. Fortunately I found a forum post where someone had a schematic of my PSU, so I literally cut the burned part out of the board and ran bodge wires to replaced the burned and missing traces. It looks like a rats nest, but it works and that's all I cared about.
Replacing the bad capacitors was another chore because there were a ton of them, and many of them were under L shaped heatsinks. Since my soldering iron wasn't powerufl enough to remove those, I had to pull several chokes out to replace some of the confined ones.
Another con on some of their older units was very poor airflow. Mine uses the very slow PSU fan as an exhaust, so when I upgraded it to a C2D E6300, I had to use a PCI slot cooler and rig the PSU fan to run faster. I later tried to upgrade it again to an AMD A8-5600k, but the board would constantly shut down due to overheating.
I'd always fancied one of these but after a while I realised for a real gaming pc you needed a fair bit of room inside for the large graphics cards so I just didn't. Also I like cleaning old pcs I just never seem to get them any more.
I have a Shuttle XPC with a 1080Ti inside ;p

Marc S That seems like a nightmare to install.
Yeah, it was lol.
@A survivor
I had one, a friend of mine had one, three years later, both got an issue with the power supply and system stability later on... you haven't missed out on anything!
Marc S omg I thought you were joking but you actually do😂😂😂
The sims 2 music the the back round brings back massive nostalgia
Disappointed, I thought you were going to smash the fuck out of the PC with that log.
Aug Steyr lmao...Wrong channel.
....(howtobasic)
You should do a colab with LowSpecGamer
00meat Plays yesss
Or RGIHD (random gaming in hd)
00meat Plays 69 likes “collab”
I often thought im on his channel and ended up here.
I dunno how.
It's awesome that you put so much time in benchmarking and building. It's fun to watch every step along the way
*when the thermal paste costs more then the PC*
I love xPCs, i've got a few of them including an X58 based one with an i7 980X, 24GB RAM and a GTX Titan - it's sweet.
Love how you play the sims 2 music in a background
Love the Sims soundtrack in the background. Great video as always!
Really love your videos man, I got into building PC's right when 939 socket was released and these vids really bring back some memories.
Love these kinds of videos. Not just benchmarks on eBay pcs you actually clean it out and make it better
I've been with you since about 1.7k, and the videos have improved greatly. Nice job!
Thanks for including the usd conversion in the title, really helps with picturing how cheap/expensive what you are working with is.
drafarieninga123o: Glad you found it helpful man :D
Hm stick in a gt 630 or a nvidia single slot card from any older generation & its an alright windows xp gaming pc that's compact & doesn't pull too much power.
Or even an r5 240
why not a GT 1030?
Gaby Le Gamer cpu would slow down the gt 1030
Gaby Le Gamer and also the psu wouldn't support the load
yea, you guys could be right. sorry
I have wanted one for years!! Have fun with it!
What do the spiders and Othello add to the PC spec-wise?
@unpoptv titan rtx sli performance
Spiders let you search the ｗｅｂ offline...
...
Not even sorry...
@@BlueEyedVibeChecker it wasn't even that bad tbh
The Othello book is for adding to your Steam Library.
Do love shuttle PCs, always fancied one back in the day. Such a a fiddly yet satisfying disassembly
I bought a shuttle with socket 775 at a year end clearance for $40 new, I had a Core 2 quad in it, got bored and learned it accepted a Mini-Itx board for future changes. I bought a Asus 110 chipset 1151 board, already had a Pentium G4620 and 8gb of dual channel by Gskill, which was the Aegis class memory DDR4! Now it is rocking a whole new system, but I did have to buy a 20 to 24 pin adaptor for the new board!
I had already spent $20 on a cooler with heat pipes in the beginning and it was interchangeable from 775 to 1151! The case is nearly silent and the new system will score almost 6700 on qwikmark! That is a 2700 difference compared to the old Core 2 quad and the Pentium has hyperthreading!
I am trying to do this in 4 shuttles. Using the stock PSUs?
I still have exactly this same XPC shuttle. Loved so much.
Nice job I totally got that Sims vibe from the timelapse
Brilliant video again Hamish, great quality, good camera angles and overall a fantastic video, keep it up! :) Cheers Peter
This dude really playing Sega GT 2002 music in the BG, you giving me those feels man.
Love the format
You made this right as I was doing a teardown of one of Shuttles X38 PCs
So happy to hear console Sims 2 music in the background!
I picked up a server version of this Shuttle at a recycling center a few years back. I added a video card, SSD, and maxed out the RAM. Pretty fun little system to play with.
Imagine how mindblown the person who put that book there would be if they ever saw this video.
Keep your greatest work up.
I’m very entertained by this!
You could remove that bulky hard drive/cd drive bay and used a laptop hard drive instead to save space, add a 120mm fan for better air flow, OC the cpu slightly and put something like a gt630 in there, that system could probably play some older titles like cod 4, farcry 2 or Hitman Absolution
Adding a fan in the front or top would mean drilling a hole for the air to actually come in there. Besides that a nice idea. Maybe an opening on the GPU side of the case and than something like a single slot 750.
Why not a GT730 or a low profile R7?
That would increase wattage and the PSU provided 250 Watt, exactly what the PC needed without OC.
Mandrake Fernflower tbh the PC should be fine running Windows Vista or 7
Awesome video as always!
Another great video! Ive been aroumd since 1k subs and geez your content has improved, keep it up!
Nice one again I like your style how you make this type of video good work
nice pound shop cleaning kit. real smooth
junkie xl sims 2 background music... love it ❤️
Pick up an ITX Intel Atom/N3XXX board and stick 8gb of cheap RAM in there and you will have an awesome media center that can handle games 10x better than that hardware. I always loved those old Shuttle PCs :)
9:47 You should have completely removed the motherboard. It always hides a carpet of dust that was probably causing problems with your rear USB ports . Also you didn’t seem to discover the twoUSB sockets under the lower front panel (with 3 dots on it). That would have solved your problems as well. Finding replacement power supplies is also not as hard as you think and I’ve solved that little problem with an alternative. An old Shuttle is sadly undervalued, but with a little TLC is often brought back to life. I’ve now got 6 of these little rescues and they’re every bit as good as their ATX counterparts parts. A great video. Thx
I actually just picked up one of these with an I5 2400 off of ebay. I was a little sketched out by the power supply, but a friend had a spare HD 6850 so I decided to pair the two. It's a great little media and gaming PC. I'm actually thinking about throwing my main rig's 1050 ti in there and giving it a go.
Just so you know I find that using a leaf blower gets so much dust out of a system and its way better than using an air compressor very fast and effective but you definitely want to do it outside and have a dust mask called just in case any Wind Blows anything back in your face
The most well- planned and designed OEM desktop I had ever seen.
This reminds me of my old Obsidian 250D ITX build. It's a neat form factor.
This thing will be awesome with a modern low-profile GPU, though I'm pretty sure you know that. Great video as always.
loving the choice of music in ur vids
I had a Shuttle as a gaming rig for a few years back in the early 2000s. Served me well enough until upgrade time, when it became almost impossible to get a decent one for less than building an ATX system from scratch.
I had a similar budget PC (with a Sempron upgraded to an Athlon X2 4600). Shoved a GeForce GT 7600 into it back in the day, and it flew! Doom 3 was a treat for the senses - nearly shat myself panicking. It should fit into that build nicely if you can still find one
Love that Sega GT bgm 😊
Good job
thank you
@@themctestuploadchan what
Holy shit that blast of nostalgia hearing the Sims 2 theme from GNC.
I miss my schuttle.. it had such a nice little display on front hidden behind a mirror finish, showing time and date and could be changed for performance stats! they do have a nice formfactor in my eyes
I just want to say I really liked what they did to save space by using the psu air to also cool the cpu heatsink.
Othello stuffed inside a mini PC is the most random thing lmao
Great job!
At 14:33 when he picked up that log I was sure he was about to smash that pc lololol
I feel bad for these old and forgotten pcs that would be perfectly suitable for 90% of computer users. If it manages Facebook+RUclips it would be more than enough for most people. I enjoy watching these builds! Please do a collab with LowSpecGamer!
that Sega GT 2002 menu music. The nostalgia
Is it just my or is removing dust soooooo satisfying
Yea its my
dam.....that sims 2 music had me reconsidering my life while you put it back together.
Wtf, a book inside a PC?
p.s. instant like for including the RimWorld
I picked up a shuttle PC for £5 back in the summer, Pentium4 with hyperthreading and 1GB of RAM...cleaned it up, a fresh reinstall of WindowsXP, I love that little thing!
I remember having a choice to buy a Mini ITX Shuttle case (not the same as the one you have) or a Thermaltake Lanbox. I opted for the Lanbox and built it to be portable to play World of Warcraft at friends house on weekends when we did 3v3 arena. I also ordered the optional retractable 7" screen direct from Thermaltake. It was 720p and VGA. My mobo was Asus and it had a dualcore Athlon and 8GB ram my HDD was a WD Raptor X 150GB the Lanbox had a mount for that and you could see drive from side of case, also an internal HDD mount for 2 more 3.5" drives, its in my closet now as its too slow to do anything useful.
Great vid love your channel
Good cleaning video :D
Satisfied
I use a cheap paintbrush to get into those nooks and crannies. you can even wet the brush just a fraction (dampen not wet); to clean out firmer dust patches.
I think you should use try using a modest SSD drive with these system to see what they can really do.
But very enjoyable videos.
Nice hearing that PS2 Sims 2 ost :P
I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one of those, looks cute. Maybe throw some budget card from that period in it to solve the RAM thing, and keep within the power supply limit. And also give it a DVD drive. :o
Omg the Sims music, so much nostalgy
I really loved the cases of these
Damn that sims 2 song kicked nostalgia level beyond 9000.
I actually own a "Shuttle SH81R". I picked it up for free when my workplace changed owners and they were cleaning house. IT had an i3 with 4 gigs of ram. I think it was meant as a security camera hub.They had no need for it, so I asked for it and got it. I cleaned it up, booted, installed a clean install of Win10. I've already got a far better PC, but I liked to tinker. It lasted for about six months before the mobo died on me. I still have the case and the weird heatsink/fan. I might put in a brand-new mobo for it, but I'm concerned about the PSU. They're kinda pricey.
The PSU looks like one you can get for plain 1U servers. You can get them for cheap sometimes from decommissioned servers.
I'd love that pc case, unironically. I actually think an optiplex 7020 sff motherboard would fit in there perfectly, and even its PSU might fit with some very light jury rigging.
Sims 2 music? Ooooooooooh boy the days of the Gamecube are coming back to me
Was hoping you'd pop in a PCI e card and see what happens for fun. I picture a 7600 helping this immensely!
That sims 2 music hit me.
Placing the tea on the casing
Nobody gonna comment on that smooth, smooth transition at 10:40 between the RUclips video and CS: Source?
The Sims 2 soundtrack got me
I found one of these in the dumpster a long time ago. It had a c2d and was perfect for web browsing after installing a gt 620.
TheLaziestGuyEver I bet!
if it's a skt775 maybe a bios mod could allow xeons with using 771 sticker mod, aliexp for cheap xeon...
Max RoadWarrior good idea if you can keep it cool. Some xeons, expecyally x54xx ones run hot.
Hayden Wallis watercooling is probably a good answer....maybe overkill and beyond the realms of budget then XD
Seriously? You got one from a dumpster for free?
Nice video!
In future you could try something like Tiny 7 for much faster install and minimal hardware usage.
the sims theme songs hits me hard
1:52 woowwww XDD I'm actually reading Othello in class so this is ironic
Nice the sims music my boy
It always intrieges me how you always do these outside
Nice Sims 2 soundtrack you got there 😏
That Sims 3 music in the background tho lol
Lol, that sim music though
Title image: It’s the shuttle PC in the SPACE SHUTTLE CRAFT!
After watching the video: What’s the purpose of my life?
I did buy a shuttle on eBay for 100 ponds supporting a future upgrade because is itx form factor,it as a old core2quad,I added a Nvidia 750ti and a ssd ,it's fast and is able to play most of the games out there
Love the Sims 2 music!!
Nice video and the sims 2 music in the background was nostalgic as fuck n.n
That model also sometimes had a Pentium d. It did sometimes had netburst counter part
Awesome video on these PCs. My local thrift has one for $50 . . . hoping they go down on price with it substantialy .
