    Hey Andrew, I love your creative approaches. You took a really old computer and turned it into a modern looking piece of art. Painting the motherboard is a bold move, but the care you take into making sure it doesn't affect any of the components is impressive. You created a very handsome potato.

    These sorts of builds are perfect for emulating games. I may need to do one myself. My main rig is finally to my satisfaction, a whole 3000 dollars later.
    But I mean really what is the point of a custom build if everything isn't how you want it. Now I need something else to work on, custom case and all!! Loved the video. Keep up the good work

  • @mr.goldfarmer4883
    @mr.goldfarmer4883 3 роки тому

    Whats convenient about having an open case like this is that you can easily take it outside or put it next to a window, get a paint brush and brush off all the dust that accumulates on it. No need to dismantle all the components. Don't have to worry about overheating either and it saves tonnes of space as the footprint is smaller than conventional PC cases.

    Awesome design! I really want to built my a case like that now.
    That GPU is a MAJOR bottleneck though. A GTX 750 or a GT 1030 will be a cheap, _much_ more suiting alternative. I mean, you already got an SSD for it, so why not?
    Also, you should have covered the GPU's Vram too. I know It's not actively cooled but there's no need to isolate it further with a layer of color.

    Nice job with revitalising old equipment!
    I'm wondering about how much hotter components run once they are painted. Maybe for short term usage it's ok but how about an all day gaming session? Would be nice to see some before and after temps next time. Also there doesn't appear to be a lot of room for the psu to exhaust heat, so that would also concern me.

      As long as you do not paint heatsinks, northbridge/southbridge chips, higher end hardware motherboard /graphic card VRM mosfets/chokes and graphic card memory chips, temps should not rise any higher than normally.

    • @RowdyDemon70
      @RowdyDemon70 5 років тому

      @@juhasto91 I agree with your comment. I saw he painted nearly everything on the GPU (except the heatsink/fan) and same on the motherboard, that's why I asked about the temps.

    • @RowdyDemon70
      @RowdyDemon70 5 років тому

      ​@@BennTheGreaT Those components that would normally be air cooled would seem to now effectively be insulated by the paint thereby trapping heat within the component.

    All these people out there complaining about "framerate drops" and I must be the only crazy fucker out there to manually and purposely limit the framerate on my games to 25. Keeps my laptop cool and I also like the "cinematic" feel.
    And about the "fan speed control dial", you just single-handedly done right there what people have been asking for 10+ years on laptops... These manufacturers are so out of touch to what the customers want (and would pay hard money for!!)
