Modernising a Huge, Decade-Old Alienware Gaming PC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- A few videos ago I introduced you to my £40 ($50) mystery spec Alienware gaming PC I picked up online. It was in a pretty sorry state with outdated specs and a near-broken graphics card.
Today, I want to show you the changes I've made to it which basically consisted of removing all of the old components and slapping a Ryzen based configuration inside. This is the Alienware Revival.
Thanks for watching :)
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE *UNIT* THIS THING IS MATE!
In awe at the size of the lad.
@@dimitrilensflareabrams2893 I've got an Antec Server Tower that is slightly larger, but there's room for 6 HDDs in it. But the front USB connectors are trashed, no way to fix it. It had a Mad Dog power supply in it, still using that.

I own this exact same case & have been toying with the idea of taking out the old components & replacing them with modern ones. I've never built my own pc before, though, so was a bit nervous about it. But after seeing this informative video, I may just give it a try. Thx for all the great tips.
Few people appreciate the aesthetics of old school Alienware desktop. I know some of us wanted an ALX or Aurora in our bedrooms at some point of our younger years.
i will have one in my room pretty soon, newer componets but old case and im hyped
@@aukeklaren549 Wow. That's fantastic!
You can still leave the USB cables inside and convert them by buying another piece of cheap female USB to 9pin type header cable for motherboard use. Or perhaps use some sort of internal USB expansion card to plug those cables there. Also - if you feel adventurous, you can swap the front USB type for a different PCB model. With just a little soldering you can then have USB 3 in there. I'm also sure that you can still fill some of those 5,25" blanks with additional I/O (headphones etc.) thingie :D Overall, very nice machine indeed!
I was just about to type that, thanks for making my life easier :p
this is what I tought too, he can scavenge a regular front panel pcb from another old case and plug a pair of the original front usbs there then replace the other pair with a couple of usb 3.0 ones connected directly to the mobo and lastly replace that floppy drive with a blank plastic drive and drill some holes for the front audio jacks
now that I wrote that it sounds like a lot of work to be done
Wouldn't even need to swap out the PCB, it looks like the wires are removable and are just standard motherboard connectors. If he can find an internal-internal cable, or splice two cables together, he could just do it that way
There are also usb 2.0 and 3.0 cards that fit in where the floppy drive would go, I did that for a build and I worked really well and I just pulled out and plugged up the holes where the old usb were
@@crunchbar777 I think I've seen ones that have front audio ports, too. We're bringing solutions, not problems!
My favorite full sized gaming PC case of all time. They dont make them like that anymore. RGB glowing from within and leaking out of the front vented area is just a sight to behold. I helped a friend mod one with green RGB... It was beautiful when we finished.
Found a case at work in the trash and figured Id use it for my old PC parts, Fairly good case(Old top PSU mount style) and when I opened I was shocked to find an I7-2600k, 8gb 1600mhz ram, 60gb ssd, 2 2tb WD enterprice and 2 1tb WD red HDDs with a corsair CX 500. Motherboard "was" fried(My bad for turning on PC after not drying for long enough) but the rest works. Not bad even by todays standards.
why would someone throw away that ?
@@Ady_Mih It was a company computer, Not sure why it was thrown away. If I were to guess it would be because a new one had arrived.

@@brukback599 Just look on the used market, I see them every so often for 500-600nok(50-60ish usd) Even better prices to be had if you buy with motherboard and ram on the used market.
@@Heste04kraft93 Probably the old case contributed to that.
I did kinda the same with my Xeon X5450 main PC - old P4 era case (and beige) with a beast of a Xeon inside and a R7 240 2GB.
So early that I only can watch the video at the same output reasolution of the old graphics card that was in that computer.

I'm so glad I found this video because I did the same thing he did with a decade old Alienware case that is identical to his. Micro ATX ryzen board with 16gigs of ram at 3600mhz. 500gb SSD, ryzen 5 2600 and a evga GTX 1080 with 8gb of vram. I pulled the original power supply and replaced it with a toughpower 850 watt. I replaced the original fans too though. Scythe 120mm. Scythe block CPU cooler and a 120mm slim for the side so it goes flush back together. It's my main PC and nostalgic beast. I love it.
I'd love to find one of these cases for cheap.
I remember when they were new; such an iconic design!
I would have cleaned it with a hose though! (after removing all the electronic components obv.)
It's already been said below, but you really should splice those cables from the front usb onto an internal usb port header.
A fairly simple operation for even those with zero soldering experience.
Even simpler solution would be to use something like a adpu2du-no3.

Why would you want to use anyway lol
Damn, that thing weighed more than me when I was 10! Great work!
I had a core 2 quad model of these, very interesting and extremely heavy!
I've still got a core 2 quad one, it's pretty beaten up compared to his one though. Mine has an 8800 gtx
I must say that you outdid your self this time the build looks fabulous and the benchmarks were simply spectacular
I love the design of the old Area 51 cases. I remember drooling over them when I was taking my PC tech course in 2004. That is when I really got into building custom rigs and case modding. Right now my system is a Dell Precision T1600 workstation which I feel the case design has a similar feel but being a workstation it has some more practical design features. Like most prebuilts though the cable management is still very circa 2004. No PSU shrouds or motherboard trays for clean cable routing. Fortunately having started in this game back then I learned some old tricks to make due. Just like the Area 51 case back then a "gaming case" was the same as any prebuilt desktop case at the time but with a cool plastic shell and maybe an acrylic side panel (which I still think is better since you can mount a side panel fan).
I have a system I built in an old Raidmax case that used to house an old gaming rig circa 2004. The caps on the motherboard were blown and the power supply looked like shit so there was really nothing part-wise that could be salvaged. I stripped it out, cleaned it up, and got to work. I bought a dremel and turned the 4 80mm fan mounts into 2 120mm fan mounts. I also drilled a square hole in the motherboard tray to allow access to the CPU cooler bracket. Then I sprayed the inside black with plastidip since the case was a dull gray bare sheetmetal on the inside despite having a black exterior and an acrylic side panel. After the case was ready, I bought an h77 motherboard, a Xeon X3440, 2 4gb ddr3 sticks, an RX 480, a Samsung 860 250GB ssd, 1 TB hard drive, a Hyper 212, and 3 case fans. I wound up also having a guy 3d print me a fan mount bracket that fits into 3 5 1/4 drive bays to give me a total of 2 intake fans and 1 exhaust + power supply fan.
It wound up becoming something that isn't quite a sleeper since you can see the internals, yet not 100% modern either. i.imgur.com/K89yizr.jpg
Great Job, you managed to restore a Beast of a Alienware Case with Modern Hardware :D
Carrying that big case made you so fricking swole 0:46

i still love these computer cases, they're so pretty
Picked up an updated version of the same case for $20 almost a year ago. It came with a Q9650, 8 gbs of 800mhz ddr2, Asus P5N Sli,8800gt,liquid cooler and a 700w psu. It all still functioned perfectly. It now has an i7 4790k, 16 gbs ddr3, and a gtx 970 , a 512 gb ssd and a 1tb hdd. I painted the silver parts a deep blood red and left the little alien heads silver. It looks amazing.
I think it's funny that you got it for £50 complete in amazing condition when the cases sell for upwards of $300 alone haha
Mate, that case is amazing, it looks like a 1950's bakalite thingy, I want one. Personally I would have restored the P4 system and stuck a Linux distro on it.
i've upgraded last month to a ryzen 5 2600 gtx 1070 ti and i play BFV 1440p ultra at 70 fps it's insane befor i had a dell optiplex 790 with a gtx 1050 ti, what a change!

Did anyone else notice his head popping up in the alienwares reflection lol. Keep up the good work and happy new year
Hey man, I have watched your videos for a while now and you’ve inspired my format in my videos and overall entertained me through the many times I watched you. Thanks m80.

Same for assassins creed origins they use 3 different anti piracy softwares and it just destroys performance
Try turning Fog, Volumetric clouds to the lowest that can help alot
This video is extremely helpful because I'm actually going to be doing the same thing with this same case but silver instead of black
Thats a cool solid case for sure. I am just glad he made good use of it!
This video inspired me to hunt down an Alienware aurora case that I have always wanted.. it took me 3 months but I finally found it.. I'll be rebuilding it over the next couple of months
One more thing to consider about these older cases is that cooling can be quite challenging, there's barely any intake/exhaust openings and the exterior plastic encasing doesn't help at all.
It even was a bit of a problem with some of the older original components such as the Pentium 4 processors back then, not so much with the AMD Athlon 64 CPUs that were part of the Aurora configurations (Intel CPU based Alienware systems were always part of the Area 51 line whereas AMD based ones were all part of the Aurora line).
A bit of trivia, these cases without the plastic outer parts are basically what was available back then as the Dragon case at retail. Alienware just repurposed those cases and added the plastic parts to it.
That’s awesome. I love the retro aesthetic of the case matched to a modern gaming PC, very cool. 😊
Finally I can afford ram again! I had no idea prices dropped...and dropped they have! I got a nice paycheck coming tomorrow (nice on the grounds of what I make per hour) and I will have leg room to get some memory. I have a spare Skylake i5-6400 laying about and all I need really is a new motherboard (if amazon still sells skylake boards), case, and some RAM. I have several hard drives (
Get a usb expansion card with internal usb slots and plug the front ports into that.
Very nice for an older case. I currently have 3 of these cases with one of them modded. i am looking to possibly mod the others soon too and hoping they turn out good
One production related comment: the new font you're using in this video is so much more readable than the old one that seemed to make the M's into up arrows. Thanks for that!
Also, lovely success on the project.
Not exactly a sleeper build, but I'm still rocking the same PC case that I got for my first PC in 2004. The components were upgraded in 2010, but ever since I've saved the AM3 mobo and the PSU, but replaced the athlon ii x2 with a phneom ii x4 (since they're now quite cheap) and a proper copper cooler, moved from 2GB of RAM to 16 and from the original Radeon HD4780 ( think) to an OEM GTX745 that my mate gave me for free after he upgraded his OEM PC. Also added an SSD for a boot drive and kept the old Baraccuda for storage. Overall, I guess it's not all new parts, but making use of the 2010 high-end mobo even in 2019 is fun and it does a great job when I'm at my parent's house over the holidays (plays competitive titles at 1080p 40-60fps). Maybe when Ryzen 2 comes out people will start selling their Phenom ii x6 en masse and I can get one for cheap, always wanted to have a hexcore in this build, and the mobo does support 140W CPUs.
I love these cases. My stepdad's brother gave one of these to my sister because he upgraded and it ended up getting thrown away. Wish I could have snatched it up.
I have one
StarTech actually sell 3.5" bay card readers that plug into USB 3 motherboard headers. They also have a single USB 3.0 socket, too. It'd help keep some of the retro feel, makes sure it works and also gives a USB 3 socket on the front of the case.
I used one in my dad's old Core 2 Quad alongside a PCIe USB 3 header which lets him use his USB HDD without a Y-cable, at full speed and not have to faff around at the rear of his machine.
Bought this case on Craigslist for 50 dollars and put modern components in it and used it as my main right. Definitely a conversation piece. Also mine is slightly different, the exhaust is a single 120mm fan and the hard drive bays face the side.
In all MSI cards I have had, I find setting the fan curve at 60%@55c and 100%@70C great. keeps the card nice and cool and quiet until it starts to peak over 60C.
Love that the P4 sticker was left in the front of the case. :)
my living room pc is a bit of a sleeper, started its life as a dell optiplex 390DT (the slim one) its since had its motherboard replaced ( meaning i had to remove and replace the dell proprietary front panel buttons and add in some standard ones) its also got a gtx1050 lp in along with a xeon e3 1230v2, a white paintjob and added fans in the front and side, has been a bit of a passion project
Man I love it, you killed it. This is like an old Chevy, you have a really unique computer. So freaking awesome, that case just has such a cool cool look. I've got the R7 really hopped up I'm a really big fan of these older cases just does something cool to a computer.
I used to buy MSI M-Box Barebones systems from Newegg, for businesses. 99 bucks got you the Box, Board, CPU, and 2gb of DDR, even had a decent heat sink. AMD Socket 754, can't do much these days. But I kept the Box after the board went bad and I'm still using it. It's not made of the same Pot metal most boxes are made of, it's all brushed aluminum inside. has 2 still working front USB, headphone out and mic input. No Proprietary connectors so it works with any new board, I have a Mad Dog modular power supply in it, it's pushing an old AMD 4400+ on an Asus M2N Board. Barely works, but that system is merely for storage for my Plex server machine. But I've built several systems into that box, and it's still holding up. Uses a Water Cooled CPU Cooler, I can't find those anymore. And room for 3 HDDs, 2 DVD/Blue Rays, and I had a card reader in the floppy slot.
What was an awesome build and glad to see it finished! Using an ITX GPU in these kind of restrictive cases is a very smart idea. However, I had an idea that you could easily get an adaptor on Amazon or ebay that converts motherboard USB into USB plugs so you can plug your front panel USB into the motherboard via the adaptor instead of reaching around the back and using up rear I/O motherboard USB if that makes sense. Sorry for the really long horrible sentence lol. But that is a very cool idea! You could always get a dremel and modify the side panel of the case to make some holes for fans because the radiator can be mounted to the fans and the fans can be screwed into the side panels. If you have a drill, dremel, and some masking tape it might be a fun project to take on and the fans could even be RGB to add some RGB elements to the build though that might ruin the Alienware aesthetic. I really like this PC and hope you do more sleeper builds in the future. I have never done a sleeper build before but am tempted to get an old Optiplex SFF case and turning it into an ITX gaming PC with completely new modern parts aside from the case.
These were such sick cases. I want a blue one to build something modern in.
Yeah i have one myself.
Nice build. I do own an Aurora R4 which I would like to upgrade. Bought a new GTX 1070 Ti (more than enough for me) and a new Be Quiet Silent Loop 120 (which has some air inside!!) to replace the old Alienware water cooler. I would like to see a redo of an R4 to a 2019 build with all the light features of the case remaining,,,
I kinda want a retro looking case like this one ngl
Hi RG.......I didn't catch your previous vid until it was too late, but I could have made the original build come to life with a boost! I have All the hardware in excellent condition rocking a socket478 era/dell/alienware builds, the case is history but the rest stays nicely packed away. If you venture into this again in the near future, drop me a holler.....I'd love to see a new build with older tech!
Yup, i got a sleeper PC, old 90s Athlon XP Case, my uncle had a Duron swapped in and some standard cards like ethernet, a Geforce 4 series card, 512mb ram, took it off his hands and swapped my prebuilt into it since i had no time from exams to build my own, but hey the listing said a 960 and i got a 1060 with a discount, 16 gigs ram 1803mhz ddr3, 3gb gtx 1060 oc msi, late 2016 athlon, which funnily enough matches the stickers on the front along with being an MSi case from the 90s, matches my gpu, like you i had to ditch front hub IO because of the case but i plan to get some IDE>sata converters and put an IDE HDD in for spare storage, but mainly for the loud sound, get the floppy drive working since i could use it and put a 5 1/4 inch floppy drive for a sleeper look AND sound so people really don't think anything of it, heres a picture when i first built it just over a year ago: (runs games at high n dips to 30s in tough areas but stays above 60 in others, particles do hurt the cpu so i usually turn them off anyway)

I aquired an old Gaming case ..its quite a large case so really needs an atx motherboard to fill it, I'm still undecided about making a retro looking computer with new parts or just use some good quality used bits to make a kool looking Gaming machine its a blue case with a perspex panel inside the metal panel on 1 side..it has had dragons cut into panel with some form of laser cutter which makes it look pretty kool ..I am not going to worry too much about the front panel wiring accept for the on and off switch and maybe a front usb . I have purchase a pcie adaptor so that I can have usb 3 at the rear of the case and will probably fit a wifi card as well. I have a i5 4th gen that I could switch the contents into the gaming case as well.. but I cetainly enjoyed your video..
I cannot express how much I enjoy your channel ❤️
Thank you :)
Awsome job, hope you were able to recoup your costs and then some. Love the content keep it up :)
Cool stuff! I remember when these were the Jam at release... Geez, thats a long time ago. Got a couple of machines that need upgrading, mostly for windows 10 & making current gen worthy, biggest challenge is finding low profile friendly parts for an office sleeper build once I know what's under the bonnet (We only have VGA monitors here unless I plug into a hdmi TV >.> )
This pc is like sleeper car, nice touch!
You can find 5.25 bays with usb 3.0 and audio connectors on Amazon for cheap, they call them "5.25 multi-functionnal media dashboards", found between 15 and 40 eurobucks.
I had one of these years ago. I so regret selling it. I would put modern stuff in it today as well. Still amazing looking to this day.
uhhh, just a little suggestion: take this thing apart completely, get a can of matte black spraypaint and a can of clear coat and paint the chassis. I've done that to an old esprimo case, really makes a visual difference.
That floppy drive looks quite sexy :)
never been a fan of sleeper builds since half of the cases are ass for airflow and other such things. Also RGinHD discord when?
Sometimes, I wonder if some people call theirs a sleeper build cause the PC overheated and exploded and now it sleeps inside the case.
Mine definitely runs the coldest of most sleeper builds. Its an old Emachine case with FX-8350 and often a Titan Xp collectors edition. Why running cool? Well its phase cooled, so that CPU even at 1.7 Vcore and 500w doesn't get above 0c on the core. Block temp is -58c at idle and -25c at 500w load. It would look sleeper, other than the 20 KG refrigeration unit now bolted to the bottom. Its missing some of the front cover, side panel, and the top cover, so it looks absurdly trash and a sleeper if you didn't see the super shiny Titan sitting in it.
@@jakegarrett8109 thats hardly, sleeper xd, nha the problem mainly comes from usb 1.0 or whatever and no usb c no glass to show off ur shinny titan xd
@@jakegarrett8109 Jesus Christ that has to be one massive bottleneck.
@@rageagainstthetoymachine2410 yeah, except if his cpu runs at 500w it has probably shit overclocked out of it and beats most modern cpus in terms of raw power. I don't think he's experiencing any bottleneck there.
On Battlefield V I played it with a RX580 4 Gig base version form sapphire. Ultra preset (low fxaa) and it ran 60-75 fps (75 was the maximum because of vsync). Ryzen R5 1400 OC to 3.5 ghz 8gb single stick 2400mghz hyperex savage ram. I had to overclock the cpu, still with the 3.5 ghz oc it was the bottleneck along with the 1 stick of ram.
BTW I like your work! Keep it up!

That's actually pretty badass. Good work. I'm not usually a fan of Alienware.
THANK YOU for giving this beauty a new life!
"Hello Everyone" ahhh the sweet tech video music.
to solve the front io i think you sould use a internal usb hub they would work fantastic for that and for audio you should get a audio interface thing for a 3.5 inch slot to solve the audio issues and after that it could work great!
While I wouldn't call this a sleeper per say, it is in the original case. My brother's laptop was a POS and was blue screening multiple times a day (don't buy HP y'all, there QC is shit) and he asked me to build him a system. So I got him an old Optiplex with an i5 2500 for $90, put a new 600 watt PSU and a R9 270X 4GB (this card was little too long and I had to cut the case to fit it, whoops!) and my old SSD and it runs like a dream, it crushes the games he plays (EU4, UEBS, Skyrim, and the Forest.) Altogether the system cost 290 USD (excluding the AC wifi card that I got him as a Christmas present which was $50.) Hope y'all had a happy New Year!
when i realize that the fan was a clear fan: oh my...
There are PCI card with internal USB ports. You can also get audio headers that will fit in the front 3.5". All readily avail on ebay
For those front usb ports, you could always take the USB header cable from another (decomissioned) system, I see that they can be unplugged from the front ports and likely be replaced with standard cables that plug into the board.
Those cases, even without the Alienware body panels, were all the sh*t 15 years ago. I still have an Antec SX1040B case in that style, and used it for builds up until about four years ago. Those were some of the last popular cases before case designers started putting the power supply on the bottom.
Same but different thing; I've got a 2008, 8 core mac Pro, which I've installed a GTX 680 (I flashed it), and patched to catalina. Using it as a design/light video editing machine but a definite sleeper build, paid probably about £200 for it, considering selling spares and upgrades.
I found a old PC from my fathers office and that one had a pentium e6300 in it. Sold the board with memory and processor for 20 euro and spraypainted the case with ruby red and black. Got a red led fan and a red strip with a a320 board, ryzen 3 2200g and 8 gigs of ram for arround 140 euros. Reused my old psu so I have a nice capable PC at budget
This revival is a legendary experience:O
I remember these cases, they are antec cases. Alienware just changed the plastic around the chassis.
Nice vid man!❤️ I really appreciate your hard work and your videos!
This PC case is a holy grail of mine.
This is a sick build man!
Additions suggestions: a USB header breakout module and a USB cable so the card reader can be connected, and a PCIe or USB floppy adapter so the floppy can still be used.
USB situation reminds me of my current build … i7-3770 on a misc junk bundle P8H61-MX USB3
Case had ONE front USB3 using a 20 pin (dual) header, but the Asmedia USB3 on the motherboard only provided 2 rear ports and no header - so I got a Chinese cable that routes 2x USB3 A plugs to a 20 pin header, and routed that to drive the case USB (and still had one back USB3 as I only needed to fine which plug livened up the one port.
There are Chinese cables to do most things, like cheating USB2 to a USB3 case connection, if there is no USB3, so instead of a dead port, there is another USB2 available.
I wish i had your luck, you seem to find all the good stuff at good prices, i have been trying to find one of those old alienware cases for over a year local with no luck.
I just realized that you sound like a weatherman when explaining how well the games run.
Nicely done! and Happy New Year!
Yay! We were waiting for this :)
Looks cool. Would be better to replace (if replacable) the front media card reader, and also the replacable fans into quality cooling, quiet, and/or LED ones.
The case looks like what I imagine a Covenant (from Halo) gaming PC would look like, except it needs to be purple.
Happy new years! Great way to start 2019.
Me personally, I would have done my own version of an Alienware system:
Either a Ryzen 5 2600X or an Intel Core i5 10,600K as they're both 6 cores 12 threads and sufficient for solid gaming and are over-clockable.
The motherboard brand I'd go with would be MSI as well as the Graphics card and either have used a MSI GeForce GTX 1080Ti as in 2019 the RTX 20 series were a still a bit to expensive leading up to the release of the Ampere 30 series in late 2020.
RAM I would have used would have been Kingston HyperX DDR4 3000 in 2×16GB (32GB total) as that would've been plenty and plenty fast enough.
If I went AMD for the GPU I would've used the MSI version of the Vega 64 or Vega 56 which ever was cheapest and available.
The power supply would've been an MSI MPG series A750F 80+ Gold Modular Gaming unit. 750 watts should be plenty for a system like that.
And in 2019 that would've made for a beastly Alienware system.
Happy new year bro, I love your content, it appeals to me alot, especially pc's like this and me as a kid loving the look of it lol.
I have something similar to that, except I have 16gb of Ram. I do recommend 16 with that kind of system, otherwise you won't be able do enjoy every tittle out there.
