  • Let’s explore what can you do with a 10 year old computer? This one was sold to me for $4. Turns out, you can do quite a lot.

    Seriously, this is the golden age of gaming in my mind.

    great video! about a year ago i built my dream 2008 computer with a core2extreme, 2 gtx280s in SLI and a velociraptor 10k rpm hdd. The best part is because the parts are so unwanted i spent less than 200 for everything including a new psu and period correct case

    This is so underrated! Really interesting, fun, and nostalgic. Even though I never played those games personally, I could feel your joy and happiness and was very happy for you! 😊
    I haven't used a windows based computer at home since college, which was years ago! The green field and some of those sounds were very familiar 😂
    I'm not very techy with electronics, so being able to watch things getting taken apart is definitely interesting for someone like me... makes me a little anxious at times, but it's satisfying when things are cleaned up, reassembled, and improved!
    I'm still a bit confused about the whole "$4" thing... in my mind I'm thinking why even charge the customer $4 at that point, and just give the computer away for free to a person who is willing to take it lol... all good though!
    I'll check out your apple keyboard restoration when I get a chance- it looked cool! 🙂

      The price thing: I often get my hardware off of this local auction site. So sometimes the auction just starts at $1-5 and nobody bids on it. That’s why things sell at a ridiculous price 🤷‍♂️
      Looking forward to hearing from you again! Cheers! 🤟

      I do the exact same thing... the desktop on my MacBook Pro looks like that, but FAR WORSE in my case LMAO!!! The "clusters" totally make sense to me, but look like an absolute nightmare to anyone else glancing over my shoulder 🤣

    My best pc is in a 12 year old black box. Sleepers are great,even though it is a 10th gen I 3. Loved XP but most versions are 32 bit and wastes the 2 cores available on that pc. I do have 2 legit copies of XP64 but have never used them.
