    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).

    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.

    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.

    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.

      It's not BTX, the motherboard is upside down. If it was BTX the expansion slots would be at the bottom.

    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being my favourite, be warned those old dimensions might need capacitor's, there's one at my place of work which has been replaced by the owner as it wasn't economical to repair I'll see if I can take ownership of it though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.

    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

    • @Tech86807
      @Tech86807  8 місяців тому

      like I said in the video, xp does not like to be installed off of a usb rufus does not help lots of issues.
