love the vid, but id recommend ya, should organize your stuff a bit better, not trying to force OCD, but you can break stuff accidentally by tossing random stuff on it, saves you money and so much hassle, also the caddies you needed for the dell dimension were on the top opening latch on the right, they are screwed into the case for storage
The parts are considered e-waste That dell dimension he was fiddling with is from 20 years ago. Northwood/Prescott era Intel chips. I have a bin like his as well. Don't care cause it still works even when there is corrosion on the PCB.
Ddduuudddeee it’s a blast from the past I swear, my dad had both that same compaq and dell computers, good times trying to download music for my mp3player and borrowing friends mp3players to swap music
The only thing better than a computer, is a free one LOL. I do free computer hauls too, so I wanted to find other people who do. Got you a sub and like!
That's a great video, I think you should out some lightweight Linux distro like Mint XFCE edition MX Linux, or even Debian, you can try them out and see how they'll perform for basic tasks and web browsing.
personal reccomendation is use the azo dvd-rs, since those life series ones tend to have poor longevity and quality, also use dvd+r disks of possible since they have better error correction, or use dvd-r for dvd-rom drives
Hah, happen to have a Socket 478 P4- Sl66Q, only 1.8GHz though, so not much better than what that Dell already has. Want to say it came out of that exact model too. Also had one with LGA 775 P4 though.
Two being my favourite, be warned those old dimensions might need capacitor's, there's one at my place of work which has been replaced by the owner as it wasn't economical to repair I'll see if I can take ownership of it though
I had that same Compaq Presario desktop. It was my first computer I got for my bedroom that was mine when I was like 15yr so about about 25 yrs ago(holy shit) I burned many free mixed audio CDs(Napster then Limewire) and it had windows 98. I basically surpassed the iPod days and went from CD straight to Streaming.
i actulally had that same model long time i got i maxed the cpu at 2.8ghz @533fsb , 1gig of rambus,, that ram is not ddr ram is rambus ram, back in the day it was really costly
Hi, interesting machine, anyway about the bad xp disk you can use an un usb pendrive to install it, create with the program rufus with the xp iso image and start your computer via usb and install from there, no cd/dvd needed simply install from usb. see ya
my momma has that same hp, its at its end it no longer turns on, maybe salvage ram, ssd, then throw it out for ppl like you, but it served well it was from like 2014 or something, every machine has its expiry date
"optiplex"
thats a 21 year old dell dimention.
For the Dell, you have the green drive rails attached to the side of the case for mounting the hard disk (if you haven't already figured that out).

Thanks!
Where I work I have the ability to get a bunch of older systems from our recycling pile, so long as the HDD is removed.😊
Man this guy is hilarious, loved the vid
I want to mess around with old computers lol. I think i can get some from a friend of mine. Should be fun
Man, nice vids for tech lovers!
Looks like there’s some spare drive rails (green) in the optiplex. I can make out 4 of them at 9:51 to the right of your hand.
Second this ^ that is what those things are
its a dimension
Also the 7
the compaq presario v5000 make me remember a lot of things since 2002

That HP is BTX format. I have a similar one.
It's not BTX, the motherboard is upside down. If it was BTX the expansion slots would be at the bottom.

I had one of those, The capacitors died on it after I helped someone get data off the drive.

like I said in the video, xp does not like to be installed off of a usb rufus does not help lots of issues.
@@Tech86807You can put in a DVD drive and use a burned disc, and that's how I normally install Windows XP
Compaq Presario 5000 series with Pentium 3 with 56 k modem good old times sucks that i don't have that case anymore i would do a sleeper pc in it

Just how did u got for free
I have the Xp one
windows xp wont recongise a lot of ram
No, it's because he used a USB stick, and XP won't install correctly off of a USB, so he must give yhe Dell a DVD drive and an XP DVD drive
@@swindle-t3m if there is more than 2gb of ram it wont read it it will just say 2gb
Who else got the same rug
