I’ve been helping people getting into pc gaming on the cheap with this method for over 20 years. It’s definitely easy in the wallet. Great video
15:56 you should make your own series like greg salazar’s fix or flop where you fix PCs for people near you. this sounds like a cool idea though and it’s good for that guy who got scammed, id hate for him to get into PC gaming and that’s his first experience
I really want to get into that, just need to grow the channel more to get more funds rolling!!
Those old Optiplex's and Precisons have really great motherboards! They support 32GB ram, and multiple harddrives from the factory. 👍
Sometimes these come with the 365 watt PSU out of the XE2, which have a 6-pin PCIe power connection, which should be good for about anything with an 8-pin with an adapter. It's a shame they didn't just include it in all of them, unlike HP with the Z series workstations.
It's you! Man you've helped me so much on my Optiplex research journey, thanks a bunch :)
3-slot 1650? Now I've seen everything.

Nice of you to help out a new gamer! Wow!
That’s awesome helping that guy out. Can’t wait to see the video on that one.
Since you’re not using the 5.25” bays one of my favorite tricks for this layout is to screw in a tray that holds two SATA SSDs where you mentioned screwing in one. I did this when PNY used to have 128GB SATA SSDs for $15. I also use Icy Dock Flex Trios. This platform really has the potential for one to go crazy with storage expansion.
There's a cheaper alternative to the Icy Dock which can hold 6 2.5" drives. With two 5.25" bays, you could potentially have 12 drives in there.
IcyDock to the rescue, lol. Their double 2.5" to 3.5" bay adapter is perfect for a build like this. They're $15 on Amazon. In an old Optiplex, it really is a 100% toolless install.
Very nice value build
Real nice of you to help the dude out! You're a real nice guy! Hope your feeling well these days! I got the T1600 Precision but the case is on the small side and the SATA connectors get in the way a bit, even with the 90 degree cables. I want to mod the case a bit, but my damn health issues hold me back and just mess up my spirits. Hopefully I'll get around to it some day, God willing. Be well and nice video as usual! 👍👍
I know the feeling, blew out my back 2 years ago, had two major surgeries and finally after pushing and focusing on my health and getting better I am back at it with the computer hustle. Went back to work full time and once again living life good with the family.
Went through some dark times but knew I had to stay positive and work towards my goal of getting better, stay positive my friend and don't give up!! I went from not being able to walk and stuck in bed all day to traveling, running, lifting weights, working on cars and more. It was hard but def worth it!!
For power supplies: You actually want to go 20% over. GN did a video on nominal pull vs. spikes.
i loved your content keep going!
Thank you! Will do!
You can still get drive adapters that will allow you to mount a laptop hard drive or standard SSD in the 3.5 bay slot. Used one within the last year when using an old case for a computer. For my main computer, I needed hard drive mounting cages because I have an 8 TB and 4 TB hard drives which I use to store videos.
I have never been in a position to get scammed when buying or selling. Having been a computer nerd since primary school, I've usually been the smarter in the room when it comes to those things.
I use Velcro instead of double-sided tape that way I can pull out the SSD and replace it easily.
Velcro is good stuff! I use it too in different projects and it works like a charm! 👍👍
I use a small piece of mounting tape in the middle of the drive so I can just twist it off. Velcro is too expensive for a build like this. You could also buy an IcyDock adapter for $15 since you're made of money, apparently.
@@Lurch-Bot $.25 is expensive?
@@Lurch-Bot What are you talking about? Do you even know what Velcro is? It's cheaper than sh*t! 🤣🤣🤣
0:14 just going to the video im already enjoying the spread of hardware on the bench!
fun fact you can mod that board using coffee time to allow 8th and 9th gen cpus
really? could you do that on any h110 or z170? i have a z170 krait board and trying to find a decently priced 6700 or 7700 has been such a pain. perhaps you might also know how to get skylake xeons to work as well?
@@HairyScrambler depends on them but look up coffee time bios modding and it should help :)
@@amdintelxsniperx You just taught me something new too! I've got to check that out! Thanks for the info, bro! 👍👍Be well!
Yes you can do the coffee time mod on z170 motherboards but you will have to do a little research on how to do it successfully. It will require tapeing off 2 of the pins on the bottom of the cpu as well as brudging 2 other pins plus you will have to short a small pin on the motherboard. Each board is different though so research is mandatory to do it successfully. I currently have a spare Asrock z170 extreme7+ motherboard with a i7 6700 that i want to do the coffeetime mod with so i can install a i7 or i9 9900k.
The easiest way to do the mod is by getting your hands on an Asrock z170 OC Formula motherboard.@HairyScrambler
@@T.Lspitz i did one of these mods on a zotac zbox en1070 magnus and i had a mobile 9750h on it
You'll never get anything bigger Video wise in there that won't suffocate without major front end surgery. The smaller cards work and won't build up much heat, you try putting a 2060 or 2080 in there and it's gonna run hot and quickly cook parts. I mod these cases all the time for customers who want bling and more cooling and it's fun side hobby. I always recommend newer cases but you can mod these older ones fairly easy and fast. Lovin the video!
Thanks, appreciate the info!!
another upgrade you can make to these is putting a 7th gen core i7 and upgrading the cpu cooler with dell part VWMTJ, really made a difference in performance. As long as its on latest firmware, and you use that cooler you shouldn't have any issues with the upgrade.
I use SMART in my Optiplex as well, but that big jumble of cables really annoyed me so I removed the ones I did not need. you could stuff them all in the 5.25” bay.
In mine though, I had 2 3.5” SSDs in the 5.25” (Since I removed the hard drive cage)
With all the excess wiring removed, it made it look really clean. Only 3 wires were coming down to the MB.
I've got a build using the sata adapter going at the moment. Seems to be working perfectly with a 1060.
Love the vids man. I do similar work myself. love helping people when I can with PCs
UA-cam has helped me to do this. def enjoy. Most pc's on the channel I donate thanks to the youtube revenue.
I love the part where you did this whole lecture about getting a small graphics card because of clearance issues....Then installing a triple slot card and having clearance issues.
Fortunately for myself. The local goodwill has an actual “good will computer store”. They have every cable you can think of for 1 dollar. Memore. Graphic cards and so on. You can even get 5040 optiplex without hard drives for 24 bucks. And functioning ones for 100.
That's the name my PC has 🤣
Yeah, a few years ago I bought a pc from an older couple. They were unaware of what they had all they did was play solitaire and get on FB (it was their recently deceased sons) they asked for $50, and I paid them. When I got home it had a RTX1070, I don't remember the Motherboard, 16GB of TeamGroup DDR4 ram, and the CPU was an I5 10400. I went back to try to give them more money and was told to get off their property before they called the cops. So, I left.
Geez...some people are weird! What did they think that you were coming to get your money back or something maybe? Maybe they misunderstood? At least you got a real good deal and you can have a clear conscience because you tried to be nice. Be well! 👍👍
@@arthurmann578 I got to keep a clear conscience. I made $850 off the PC from a buddy that wanted a no fuss gaming desktop. There was a GPU shortage at the time.
@@Adam-fz6sj 👍👍
I had that happen once, it was crazy....
made me wonder if the computer was stolen in my situation....
Regarding memory: I would go with 4 sticks (to equal 16 or 32 gb) of single ranked sticks to take advantage of maximum memory addressing.
Older cpus don't always like 4 sticks.
A nice, 'short' video would be to show how to take the DVD face plate off and hot glue it in. Removing the dvd drive allows a lot of room to hide cables and mount ssd in the 5.25 bays.
Good video, makes me think about my extra HP Z2 G5 workstation with a 10700 and a 320W PSU, I wonder if the Gigabyte low profile 4060 would work in it with a sata to 8 pin adapter? There's not a lot of PSU overhead 🤔
I suggest using a semi-modular or modular PSU to help with cable management. You could use some clips. I saw this UA-cam game bench, and he used clips you can attach to your PC body for cable management.
SATA can carry 54W and the slot will deliver around the same. Although the slot can provide up to 75W, in practice, it never does. You could put a RX6600 in this machine without upgrading the PSU because they only draw 100W. Of course you will lose a little performance because of no reBAR support but it is still a solid GPU even without reBAR.
Take it easy with taping SSDs. Less is more. One square inch of 3M mounting tape is more than enough. Put it in the middle so if you have to pull it, you can just twist it off.
I sold a 1650/Haswell i7 build in an old case recently for $350 so you really could make some money flipping this.
"The smaller the better" he says. I wish my girlfriend thought the same thing!
🤣🤣🤣😄👍👍

I want a BD RW BD XL 100GB burner in mine
Just an FYI. You can get the GTX-1650 in a smaller dual slot card. I got a low profile unit used for cheap.
cool video
I have that exact model with an i7 6700, a bronze certified 650w psu, 8gb rx580 and 16gb ddr4 (with m.2). I had to remove the hard drive bracket to fit the graphics card. 😆 Which graphic could be a good upgrade for this mount?
Blower style coolers are better for cases like this... The budget is what it is.
The best low wattage and second most efficient graphics card to use in the Nvidia product stack is to get the Nvidia quadro P2000 more Ram and 12% more efficient than the GTX1650 and on the used market you can get these for as low as $80 at ebay auction. Most popular card to use compared to the GTX1650, or the overpriced RTXA2000 that's only another 12% greater in efficiency than the P2000
Great video but dont put any psu you can find atleast some offbrand no name ones can explode and kill the whole system, so if its valuable dont cheap out get a name brand psu used is fine.
RX 6400 has a TDP of 53W and DOES NOT require a Power Connector
The ghosted fella should have asked the seller to turn on the PC to see if it worked. Even if you didn't have computer experience, at least common sense should have popped into his mind and asked the seller to turn the PC to see if it worked.
Humm, was it the previous owner the one who removed the dell service tag sticker from under the wayne pc sticker. Wonder what they were trying to hide? 🤔
Keep those EVGA cards. They're collectors' items.
hey man I have an Optiplex 3010 for retro games that uses a tfx psu, the mobo has (I think) normal 4pin cpu and 24pin mobo connectors. can i use a normal atx psu or do you think they are not wired like standard psu?
i think those use a standard 24 pin and you can just use a regular psu without any adaptors
🙂 that tool box, do u work on cars and motorcycles and bicycles too? what about home improvement?
I do. I got a second youtube channel dlmgarage where I do auto repairs.

@@DLMtechgarage ok cool, i'll subscribe then to that too, have a good week 😊
Hey bro sorry for asking but is that just a normal motherboard coz i got one somebody wanted to dispose and i took it but i havent started my build.
If they want to dump it and if you already have everything else you need, grab it up.
it requires a little modding for the front panel but everything else is normal
I'm seeing what looks like an unsoldered 24 pin psu connector on that board
It's a older gamimg system and you do not install a chrome drive
Next step is a case swap
EVGA does some weird stuff. Good! But weird... 3 slots for a 1650
Oh yea, if you're poor, the best PC you can get is either a Used Office PC + used GPU, or a handmedown from a friend.
never underestimate the power of having a friend with an extra PC or PC parts in the attic that might be halfway decent! even if it's broken, if you know what to look for you can cheaply have a decent build.
Would a 1660Ti work?😊
yup
shouts out Wayne
would an RX 6700XT 12GB GDDR6 or 6800 16GB GDDR6 be overkill i have 5x of them i got very cheap... $200 a peice ( not 6800XT )
prbly
good day
You too
where the hell did you find a triple slot 1650??
came in as trade
Be interesting if you get it going
coming soon
😒👍 1660 Super FTW
🙂the scam computer? why not just fix it for him and return the same pc back to him, maybe its something minor, do u have extra parts to test it, i710K 580 450watts for 200 is very fair, he should fix it and keep it
he lived a few hours away, drive wasnt worth it plus, when you see the video you will see why it was not worth it
@@DLMtechgarage oh ok, i'll check it out, thx for the info 🙂

So do a lot of tech UA-camrs. Including channels with millions of followers. So what is your point?
gotta save my strength lol...
