Garage PC total system upgrade

Bringing an old PC back to life and upgrading it to cope with the modern internet.
Gateway SX2855
Intel Celeron G460 to Core I5 2500S
2GB ram to 8GB
500GB 3.5 to 512GB SSD
onboard graphics to GT1030
Wifi and bluetooth upgrade
Windows 7 to Windows 10
-----------------------------
You've made it this far. I had to upgrade this pc to allow it to work within my garage. This all started because I needed to install a WIFI card, and windows 7 did not have any drivers. Upon upgrading to windows 10 the PC was dreadfully slow, so I decided to upgrade the CPU/RAM/HDD and tossed a dedicated graphics card in while I was there. This PC will end up running a 3D printer and possibly a CNC Plasma cutter in the future.

My only complaint is if your goner show off the keyboard to the world to see please clean what i can only hope is Tea, cola or whatever juice (not c&m juice) and Dust from it.

I was concerned when you said you were going to replace the existing rotational HDD boot drive with another rotational HDD boot drive. But after continuing to watch the video I see you came to your senses and installed a SSD. 😂

Anti-Static is a bit of a non issue in all honesty, although i would avoid wearing old wooly staticky jumpers, balloons and possibly electrical storms, although the static generated probably isnt sufficient to course any permenate damage, plus most modern motherboards have Anti-Static, Anti Surge etc... build in anyways. Yep Isopropanal 85-99% Alcohol with although not 100% nesserary lint free clothe nothing wrong with that. If its a non soldered ihs you could delid it and put the conductanaught on the die and reseal the ihs, personally i wouldnt use liquid metal for anything but delidding cause the liquid metal can corrode even bare copper its best used on nickel plated copper.

If you would like to upgrade the " Optical disc " drive to the best you can have ; this LG Electronics WH16NS40 16X Blu-ray/DVD/CD Multi compatible Internal SATA Rewriter Drive, BDXL, M-DISC Support, Black at Amazon is the absolute best you can get ; it support's all " Optical disc " formats. As long as you have software to support the disc type you want to use - this drive will do it. It's a sata drive - so it will be a direct replacement for your current drive.

Maybe one of the " Many " Mini-PC's would be a good Garage PC option now. :)
