This is a channel devoted to refurbishing old tech. Focusing on desktop computers, laptops and componants which are several years old. I try and tidy them up and apply a few cheap upgrades making them usable for a more modern day experience. Let me know if there is a particular game or program you'd like me to test on any of my builds! Don't forget to subscribe :-)
BBC Micro - My Jet Attack Basic source code!
This is a video showing the Basic source code for my game called Jet Attack. It's showcased in my previous video. Game is in 2 parts. The instructions part and then Jet2 which is the main game. Slow and pause the video and type into an emulator (I use Beebem) or an actual Beeb! If you want me to upload any of my games source, post a comment requesting the specific game!

This is my main pc and the componants are:- Corsair Spec Delta case. I added 4 argb Darkflash fans which are controlled by remote control. Cpu is an Intel i3 12100f socket 1700 4 core 8 threads. The F suffix means no igpu so a gpu is needed. This performs at 3.3 ghz speed with turbo up to 4.3ghz. Released back in 2022 to great reviews. Excellent gaming performance from this and now a considered...

Graphic card test of the Amd Asus R9 255! Released in 2013 it has 2gb dd3 vram but if you can find it cheap, might be useful for a few older games and the more recent (less system stressful) ones. System is cpu i5 8500, 16GB 2666mhz ram and an ssd used for storage. Ensures the gpu is more or less the limiting factor here.

HP Prodesk 400 G2 MT desktop pc - System overview and planned upgrades
whats the highest cpu it can take
this machine im on is the i5 3570 version of yours. Probably pick up an i7 3770 processor at some point real cheap. These are great machines mine is probably 14 years old and I added an ssd 4 years ago and the whole thing is still running great
Yes these machines are designed to work long hours in offices so do well.
this hp suport xeons?
Hi max cpu supported is i7 4770 i.sears.com/s/d/pdf/mp-tc/spinpdf/spin_prod_ec_1468365102
Can i just move the motherboard from new case? and replace it with new PSU 750 watts bronze
Do you mean move motherboard into a new case and add a standard psu? You'd need to check if the connections will fit from psu and also case onto the motherboard. Motherboard layout can be found online.
Never played gta b4
Bro Gtx 750ti is fit in this pc and how much power supply need this gpu plz guide me 😢
Yes its an easy fit and psu ok.
@@computerrefurbishment9748Very Thanks for reply me My question is Can I installed Full profile gtx 750ti in this pc not low profile.
@@Master-zk9eb2jk2i No problem, yes full profile card will fit.
you can actually fit a graphics card in this little machine (in fact, the one i bought came with it installed). it is a low-profile graphics card that fits at the very top (over the wifi card). the machine is still in use, almost 10 years on (i take very good care of her) she has gotten the SSD upgrade and she runs Linux Mint like a champ!
Good stuff 👍
Great system and really cheap!
It's a really nice system tbh. I would love to build something like this for playing the beta test of Killing Floor 3. 1070 is still a beast imo. Congrats 👍
Cheers mate. Yes 1070 doing me just fine 🙂
Hi, how many slots does it have to put RAM modules and how much does it support? Regards
Hi it has 4 slots and supports up to 32gb of ram.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 OK. Thanks.
What pc case is this called as i have the same one
Hi it's a Cit Flash case as stated in video and description. The 4 argb fans are included.
Hi, could you provide the code for jet attack? It looks great!
Sure, link to ssd image here. we.tl/t-tM1CCDbBLv
If the link expires, I've uploaded a video of the source here ua-cam.com/video/Ro8sxA3YcjA/v-deo.html
wow this was interesting 👍
Thanks, I might do more on this classic machine. BBC Basic I am sure you will like, it's still in use today.
Is it good what kind? I plan to buy does it handle things like roblox studio
Roblox will be fine on this pc...no problem!
no airflow brother get a new case
Seems to be ok...3 intake and 1 exhaust will check temps again and report back.
1 hour of occt cpu stress average 75c. Superposition gpu benchmark 75c max. Valley ultra gpu benchmark 66c max. These are stress tests so expect gaming sessions to not be higher.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 oh nice temps
Cool! thanks for sharing info on your main rig.
Hey thanks! I know the gpu is not the best and old but I like playing the games a few years old and also ones that are not too system stressing. Might upgrade in the future. Gen 12 i3 cpu leaves good upgrade path and no 13/14 gen type issues (see reports elsewhere).
so long at it does what you want it to do, there isnt much else you need. good on ya mate
what's fan case you're using? how is it?
Hi any 80mm or 90mm fan will do. Works well.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 I would like to change cpu cooler for new one, do you think it can take 155mm height heatsink?
@@mikamiyu-k1z Not sure as I no longer have this system. Best check the specification (height clearance for example).
Have had many HP business computers over the years especially SSF real workhorses 👍
Yes they are a good choice even now!
The GPU causes a bottleneck to the PC. I recommend changing it to a GTX 1050Ti LP.
Good point but at the time that gpu was out of the budget assigned. The firepro should be fine for games like zula, paladins, valorant, team fortress 2. Possibly fortnite on minimal settings. Older games will be ok. Even Doom 3 from 2004 still looks great!
Just got one of these for 5$ at a E-Waste sale powers on work and all, but all the sticks of ddr3 ram I own none will work in this pc (system has 4gigs) what did you use for a ram upgrade?
Hi system is ddr3. Try one stick in different slots. A slot might be faulty but work in the other.
I'm thinking of buying me a dell, hp, or a lenovo desktop pc just to play some games but I can't decide which one to buy I don't have much money to spend. Thank you for showing the gameplay of the games I normally don't play games on a pc
Hi Dell Optiplex 3020 Mt can be bought cheap. Intel socket 1150 will take an i7. Add ssd and a graphics card which does not need external power and you should have something decent. There are people that have replaced the psu which is a good idea should the card need external power.
how good is this for simple gaming like minecraft and geometry dash?
Should be fine! Start with low settings and adjust up accordingly until a good balance of performance and visual.
These chip sets perform to relatively a 3rd or 4th gen core i3 processor, minus some instruction sets, that hurt it for modern gaming applications. Max frame rates in 1080P is roughly the same as the i3 at roughly 30 frames a second, and that is when its paired with a GPU such as the Nvidia quadro P2000, or AMD W7100
Thanks some good info there! Yes I expect this will be more for older games but will try some of the free online ones that do not stress system too much!
@@computerrefurbishment9748 it will play modern online games like Dead By Daylight. But not popular modern online games like Fortnite. SSE 4.2 and AVX are 2 very important instruction encoders when it deals with 3D rendering short cuts that need C++ instruction compression
I still build these systems for grand theft auto online RP for M server.
@@InternationalLiaison Cool. Got parts for this system so hope to do video soon!
@@computerrefurbishment9748 yeah fully built 6GB RAM, 120GB SSD, Nvidia Quadro P2000 GPU, Monitor, keyboard and mouse. Sells for $180 U.S.D over here in the states. Its the affordable banger for grand theft auto 5 RP with Mserver off of steam. The other thing to note the SSD is double the speed of the 800 or 1066Mhz system ram in virtualization mode. So as long as system ram is configured in 4GB dual channel. You can set up windows virtualization for 12GB and the system will run faster than it ever did in its time period.
Nice! I have several socket 775 computers. My main system is a Lenovo Thinkcentre M57p now updated with a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550S which is the low powered version of Q9550. I have this system maxed out with 4 GB DDR2 800mhz and WIN 11 on a ssd
Parts are on their way so hope to do a video soon!
I have the same pc and when i turned my pc on, the 2 fans on the back doesn't spin, is this normal?
Are you sure there are 2 on the back? I no longer have this system and think there is just space for 1. Check connections if none spin up. If you check and all seems ok, replace fans.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 the fan on the psu and the fan on the cpu doesn't spin
@@computerrefurbishment9748 the fans on the psu and the cpu doesn't spin
The 2nd and 3rd gen i3, especially the 3rd gen one which i use are still super capable if youre looking to play the ps4 era games at 30 fps. But the key here is that these procesors are not at all good if you have multiple apps open in background, and for that you need to optimise windows and with optimisation i got the process count down to 50 from 138, and noticed all the stutters went away, and can actually play games at locked 30 fps and even rdr2. Btw please pair it with a 1050ti and benchmark games like assassins creed origins, odyssey, just want to see how far this litttle beast can go.
Hi great reply and some good info! I also reboot between each game/benchmark run. Windows has been optimised in this case. I don't have 1050ti but will upgrade system to i7 2600 and gtx 950 soon! I do have Assassins Creed Odyssey so will add a benchmark.
What size is the case fan on the rear? 120mm?
Hi sorry I no longer have the system. I do not think the fan size is 120mm though. I've tried searching for the system but cannot find any information relating to the fan. Ebay has one but no size. I think it's probably around 80/90mm.
Does it support i5-2500K?
Hi yes that cpu is supported. I cannot determine if the motherboard will support overclocking as I no longer have the system (k means cpu is unlocked).
Please don´t take notice of the mean comments that some post (I would delete them) many of us subscribers like your builds so keep them coming 👍
Hi most comments are fine. Thanks for your support!
well it certainly looks like crap which makes me think trash system. my white 011 mini build with a 5700x and 3060ti is a budget build. this is just e-waste. also that config isnt ideal for ANYTHING. LOL maybe word processing? that is literally a 10 year old pile of junk. youd be better off buying a 2nd hand old dell office PC and putting a decent GPU in it. 1660s are stupid cheap and rtx 2000 series isnt exactly expensive. gtx 960?! LMAO trash tier. hope your friend is as ignorant of pc parts as you are. the rgb might dazzle him! LOL are you new to building pcs or just too broke to do anything interesting?
the gtx 960 got me off also, kinda old and wasted for even a budget pc
What is ur psu ? Watt?
Hi psu is 240 watts.

Hello sir! Is there any way I can contact you? I'm interested in talking about Worthing FC for a documentary I am making about the club and owner
Hi thanks for the sub! Unfortunately I have not attended Worthing fc games for quite some time so doubt I can assist with anything unfortunately.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 it's ok I am hoping to use a few seconds of some of your footage from 2010!
HOW would i plug in a single jack headset into this pc?
Hi I no longer have this system. There are seperate headphone and microphone ports on front and back. However not one for mic/phones combination.
Whats the name of this model?
Ik its dell optiplex 7010 but is there something i could look up for this specififc one?
@@POV0 Hi it's dell optiplex 7010 sff. Just search for this and you will be ok for support.
which gpu is better?amd r5 340x 2gb or the amd rx 6400.
6400 is better but much more expensive and will be bottle necked even by i7 cpu. Ensure it's the low profile version. Also depends on what your usage will be (gaming, production etc). Some games like Team Fortress 2, Zula and Valorant should be fine with r5 340x.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 i think im going to go with the amd r5 340x 2gb, they are selling on ebay for under 10 dollars.
my bios says it was last updated in 2018, does it need to be updated?
Hi 2018 was latest bios so you are fine.
Nice one new sub, btw i have an hp sff i wanna upgrade it to an atx case? You think it's possible, ( i know i have to modify some parts ) but wanna ask your opinion
Thanks for the sub! Regarding transfer of parts. Will you be using the original power supply? If not, you need to check all the connectors will match on new psu. Will the new case front panel connectors match (power switch, hdd led, power led for example)?
@@computerrefurbishment9748 appreciate your reply mate, well to be honest I went to my local shops but one of them said you can't because hp is a branded company and you have to change the mother board in order to change the case, and the other one said we have to change the pin to psu 24 pin to 6 pin converter And yea and which will cost around 200 dollars which is mad 💀
@@mrfxhd8873 I don;t have an hp sff anymore. 24 to 6 pin converter cable you can get from ebay cheap. Unfortunately there could also be other non standard connectors which a new psu/case cables would not fit. Hp usually provide good information on their past systems so search for model and motherboard layout to confirm.
does this pc require 24 pin power supply
Hi I don't have this system any more but looking at motherboard layout, main power is 24 pin with 4 pin for cpu. I am confident that any standard size psu will fit therefore. Bonus is that a replacement psu will have power for higher spec gpu.
Can I put 2 8gb ram sticks in this pc??
Thanks i just got this gpu very helpfull
No problem glad to help!
At front panel , there is power indicator in middle ( silver) below is like cylinder indicator , what is it called .as light is blinking and no display at all
Hi. Check video connection on pc and the monitor. Ensure firmly seated. Replace and try another method of connection. Check ram is firmly seated in slots. Check drive cables at both ends. If graphics card installed, check it's firmly seated.
Your pc lags
Hi it's the recording method. External camera. See video description.
Its 2600s or just 2600?

Check measurements as that looks like quite a large card to fit in the case. If it does fit should work fine.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 do you think a geforce Low Profile Gigabyte Gtx1050Ti 4GB would fit idk how to check
Low profile card would not fit unless you removed the bracket and replaced with full profile.

can i use 4 Afox Green 8GB DDR3 1600MHZ RAm sticks?
Yes but 32 gb is supported in banks of 4 sticks. The system is ddr3 however ram will run at 1333mhz as 1600 speed is not supported.
@@computerrefurbishment9748 so it will work 32gb will run and all yet i wont get 1600mhz but 1333mhz
Wouldnt it be better to just buy a new pc all together or upgrade thos one
Depends on the budget you have and what usage will be.
Is there any need to improve airflow? Or no overheating issues while gaming?
Ensure not put in enclosed space as there is just a single exhaust fan. Some computer desks have a slot underneath for pc...don't use that. Put on top of desk or at side. During test...all seemed fine with the gpu and cpu. Repaste gpu and cpu ensure fans clean first.
i have the same one....still works good.
Cool, still good for older games!
Hey how did you fit that in a have the same pc and that card would be too big it would fit i think
Hi it's a single fan card so fits easily. Ensure your pc is the tower and not sff.
