I have one of those at work. It's old and slow, but it still comes in handy. I had difficulties installing Windows 10 on it, though, so I bypassed the problem. I put the hard drive into another computer, installed Windows there, put the hard drive back into HP, let Windows self-adjust to different hardware, installed drivers for the integrated graphic card and voilà! It's alive! 🙂
Oh strange as this one installed windows without any issue. Could it not have been something like secure boot that you still had enabled or something? Happy for you though you managed to solve it by thinking outside the box! :)
@@techwithdaan I asked Santa to bring me TARDIS for Christmas, so I can think inside the box which is bigger on the inside, but he never showed up, so I had no choice but to think outside the box. 😉
Have one like that one, but did some changes, core i7 3770 I had around, the standard cooler works well with the core i7, and 32 GB dd3 1600 Mhz ram, plus an ssd and some sata drives for backup, the Core i7 with 32 GB and ssd gives this machine a new life, the graphics card is a low profile nvidia GT 1030 2gb ddr5, is not the fastest machine by a long mile, but can perform any basic activity and run the only 2 old games I play, Baldur's Gate HD versions and Turtle WoW, and it runs these 2 games flawlessly, have no remarks about productivity "Office 365" and development, Visual Studio and Visual Code, I also have an SQL database running, and yet again, this machine does it's job without problems. The PSU of these machines don't have that many watts, but have a GREAT efficiency, so you can milk from that PSU a core i7 , loads of ram, and a graphics card until the GTX 1050 "I tried one and worked".
Sweet that's a really nice machine then as well indeed! I personally love it here as well, does any task just fine without noise or making a lot of effort! :)
Here they are being sold for 10 or less, these things are practically going away for free in the Netherlands . Can't you buy it here on Tweakers and get it shipped?
I have the same pc. I'd like to install an Intel q9550 (95w), but I don't know if the cooling system would be enough. It came with an E6500 65w. Any suggestions?
Well it should be okay without dust and new (good) cooling paste. Worst case scenario it will start to blow a lot harder I would say. However, keep in mind that I have no experience in upgrading this one so it is not an assumption

Looking into building one for CRTemudriver. 🤔
On Amazon Spain it’s selling for 130€ plus 10€ for delivery as today (refurbished)…… far from 10$.

how many watts is the psu
240
Yes indeed

Sweet, I hope you like it!
@@techwithdaan nicely done! You should get those electric blowers that run on battery with a fan.
Would a 1050ti work
If you have a small form factor version then yes it should not be a problem, as long as it doesn't need an additional 6 pin connector for power
does it have a hdmi port?
No just display port and vga
@@techwithdaan then how do i connect it to my hdmi moniter please help
@@1ts_1x1 use a vga to hdmi adapter or someting
i have the same exact pc tho
Did you manage to find yourself a good low profile gpu?
Well I don't have but there's low profile GPUs such as rtx 3050 6gb and Gtx 1650 4gb these are the only low profile GPUs that I found
@@Svilen081050ti too
