- Hello and Welcome to another Budget Builds Episode where today we'll be taking a look at a Shuttle PC...Which is in needless to say a bit of a shitty state, it cost me £5 from the local bootfair, strewn amongst tech and other garbage, and they now appear to also be a common site over on ebay at very low prices, in case you want one yourself why not check out:

Some kid from the school the pc came from probably stuffed the book in there so he didn’t have to do his home work on othello
So... You ordered Othello and it came "packaged" in a PC. Seems like a good deal to me.
XD
Hhhuhhyhh
five pounds for a classic work of literature and a free pc! Bargain!
They probably realized that anyone buying a book in this day and age would need a digital copy, and instead opt to give the PC with it just in case.
yeah Othello for £5 seems like a good deal
I don't think I have ever heard "Geforce 6100" and "capable" in the same sentence before. I mean it is capable of producing a image but that is about the limits of its capabilities.
GeForce 6100 isn't capable at all... how about that
It is quite good at any DX7 or 8 retro games !
Geforce 6150se works on windows 7 and it supports aero
I have a random AGP 6200 lying around and an XFX 5600
You broke the seal.
NO WARRANTY FOR YOU NOW, HA!
I don't think the warranty would even be active still lol. Not like they would repair it anyway with a copy of Othello in it
Heh "solvent" Spray, thats £1 worth of poundland monitor cleaning kit, which surprisingly is not half bad and the brush is quite useful unlike the micro microfiber cloth.
That PC was more capable than I thought! Though I wonder how much you can upgrade it, just for fun. 😄
yeah upgrading this lil' thing would be really interesting to watch!
Whap in a 1030. Looked like a 16x slot to me! 😂👌🏼
Phil Causey gt 740 would do
Phil Causey The video card has to be powered directly by PCI slot and be low powered for 250W power supply.
sims 2 music with a cool guy restoring pcs, pls do more videos like this one.
Oh that's why the music sounds familiar lol
i was about to comment about the sims 2 track lol
2 years late, but holy shit the Sega GT 2002 music is oozing nostalgia
Budget builds you should try to make this into a budget sleeper build
The case design is a bit restrictive.
LairdDeimos it certainly is, but I think it would be a good challenge. Like, set a reasonable goal for benchmarks after the overhaul, and try to achieve it on the lowest possible budget. I think it would make for an interesting video and I know some of my friends would. We're all into smaller, powerful PC's.
@@troyguinn303 a Ryzen APU would be pretty nice.
I'd always fancied one of these but after a while I realised for a real gaming pc you needed a fair bit of room inside for the large graphics cards so I just didn't. Also I like cleaning old pcs I just never seem to get them any more.
I have a Shuttle XPC with a 1080Ti inside ;p
i.imgur.com/KkLTTWG.jpg
Marc S That seems like a nightmare to install.
Yeah, it was lol.
@A survivor
I had one, a friend of mine had one, three years later, both got an issue with the power supply and system stability later on... you haven't missed out on anything!
Marc S omg I thought you were joking but you actually do😂😂😂
PCs like this were always Shuttle's niche, a few other companies have tried to compete with them but never could quite get a design that worked well.
Unfortunately, as you pointed out, their PSUs were a big con. They were proprietary, and often very poorly designed. The biggest design fault is using garbage Taiwanese capacitors, which means these PSUs don't have a long life before the capacitors start failing. I have an earlier Shuttle XPC which had an Athlon XP 3200+ originally, but the PSU died.
The PSU actually caught on fire due to a failed capacitor that caused a zener diode to clamp hard on a voltage line, which generated so much heat it ignited the PCB. Before I could get it under control, there was a quarter size hole burned through the PCB. A replacement PSU for mine was $70, and I opted to try and repair it. Fortunately I found a forum post where someone had a schematic of my PSU, so I literally cut the burned part out of the board and ran bodge wires to replaced the burned and missing traces. It looks like a rats nest, but it works and that's all I cared about.
Replacing the bad capacitors was another chore because there were a ton of them, and many of them were under L shaped heatsinks. Since my soldering iron wasn't powerufl enough to remove those, I had to pull several chokes out to replace some of the confined ones.
Another con on some of their older units was very poor airflow. Mine uses the very slow PSU fan as an exhaust, so when I upgraded it to a C2D E6300, I had to use a PCI slot cooler and rig the PSU fan to run faster. I later tried to upgrade it again to an AMD A8-5600k, but the board would constantly shut down due to overheating.
The sims 2 music the the back round brings back massive nostalgia
I love xPCs, i've got a few of them including an X58 based one with an i7 980X, 24GB RAM and a GTX Titan - it's sweet.
Disappointed, I thought you were going to smash the fuck out of the PC with that log.
Aug Steyr lmao...Wrong channel.
....(howtobasic)
It's awesome that you put so much time in benchmarking and building. It's fun to watch every step along the way
You should do a colab with LowSpecGamer
00meat Plays yesss
Or RGIHD (random gaming in hd)

I often thought im on his channel and ended up here.
I dunno how.
*when the thermal paste costs more then the PC*
Imagine how mindblown the person who put that book there would be if they ever saw this video.
Love how you play the sims 2 music in a background
I bought a shuttle with socket 775 at a year end clearance for $40 new, I had a Core 2 quad in it, got bored and learned it accepted a Mini-Itx board for future changes. I bought a Asus 110 chipset 1151 board, already had a Pentium G4620 and 8gb of dual channel by Gskill, which was the Aegis class memory DDR4! Now it is rocking a whole new system, but I did have to buy a 20 to 24 pin adaptor for the new board!
I had already spent $20 on a cooler with heat pipes in the beginning and it was interchangeable from 775 to 1151! The case is nearly silent and the new system will score almost 6700 on qwikmark! That is a 2700 difference compared to the old Core 2 quad and the Pentium has hyperthreading!
I am trying to do this in 4 shuttles. Using the stock PSUs?
Love the Sims soundtrack in the background. Great video as always!
What do the spiders and Othello add to the PC spec-wise?
@unpoptv titan rtx sli performance
Spiders let you search the ｗｅｂ offline...
...
Not even sorry...
@@BlueEyedVibeChecker it wasn't even that bad tbh
The Othello book is for adding to your Steam Library.
Thanks for including the usd conversion in the title, really helps with picturing how cheap/expensive what you are working with is.
drafarieninga123o: Glad you found it helpful man :D
I've been with you since about 1.7k, and the videos have improved greatly. Nice job!
Hm stick in a gt 630 or a nvidia single slot card from any older generation & its an alright windows xp gaming pc that's compact & doesn't pull too much power.
Or even an r5 240
why not a GT 1030?
Gaby Le Gamer cpu would slow down the gt 1030
Gaby Le Gamer and also the psu wouldn't support the load
yea, you guys could be right. sorry
Really love your videos man, I got into building PC's right when 939 socket was released and these vids really bring back some memories.
Just so you know I find that using a leaf blower gets so much dust out of a system and its way better than using an air compressor very fast and effective but you definitely want to do it outside and have a dust mask called just in case any Wind Blows anything back in your face
Love these kinds of videos. Not just benchmarks on eBay pcs you actually clean it out and make it better
I feel bad for these old and forgotten pcs that would be perfectly suitable for 90% of computer users. If it manages Facebook+UA-cam it would be more than enough for most people. I enjoy watching these builds! Please do a collab with LowSpecGamer!
Othello stuffed inside a mini PC is the most random thing lmao
You could remove that bulky hard drive/cd drive bay and used a laptop hard drive instead to save space, add a 120mm fan for better air flow, OC the cpu slightly and put something like a gt630 in there, that system could probably play some older titles like cod 4, farcry 2 or Hitman Absolution
Adding a fan in the front or top would mean drilling a hole for the air to actually come in there. Besides that a nice idea. Maybe an opening on the GPU side of the case and than something like a single slot 750.
Why not a GT730 or a low profile R7?
That would increase wattage and the PSU provided 250 Watt, exactly what the PC needed without OC.
Mandrake Fernflower tbh the PC should be fine running Windows Vista or 7
I picked up a shuttle PC for £5 back in the summer, Pentium4 with hyperthreading and 1GB of RAM...cleaned it up, a fresh reinstall of WindowsXP, I love that little thing!
I actually just picked up one of these with an I5 2400 off of ebay. I was a little sketched out by the power supply, but a friend had a spare HD 6850 so I decided to pair the two. It's a great little media and gaming PC. I'm actually thinking about throwing my main rig's 1050 ti in there and giving it a go.
Description: "Othello, digital" $5
The item:
Is it just my or is removing dust soooooo satisfying
Yea its my
Nobody gonna comment on that smooth, smooth transition at 10:40 between the UA-cam video and CS: Source?
Damn that sims 2 song kicked nostalgia level beyond 9000.
Holy shit that blast of nostalgia hearing the Sims 2 theme from GNC.
I just want to say I really liked what they did to save space by using the psu air to also cool the cpu heatsink.
This dude really playing Sega GT 2002 music in the BG, you giving me those feels man.
Pick up an ITX Intel Atom/N3XXX board and stick 8gb of cheap RAM in there and you will have an awesome media center that can handle games 10x better than that hardware. I always loved those old Shuttle PCs :)
I use a cheap paintbrush to get into those nooks and crannies. you can even wet the brush just a fraction (dampen not wet); to clean out firmer dust patches.
I think you should use try using a modest SSD drive with these system to see what they can really do.
But very enjoyable videos.
Sims 2 music? Ooooooooooh boy the days of the Gamecube are coming back to me
You made this right as I was doing a teardown of one of Shuttles X38 PCs
9:47 You should have completely removed the motherboard. It always hides a carpet of dust that was probably causing problems with your rear USB ports . Also you didn’t seem to discover the twoUSB sockets under the lower front panel (with 3 dots on it). That would have solved your problems as well. Finding replacement power supplies is also not as hard as you think and I’ve solved that little problem with an alternative. An old Shuttle is sadly undervalued, but with a little TLC is often brought back to life. I’ve now got 6 of these little rescues and they’re every bit as good as their ATX counterparts parts. A great video. Thx
Do love shuttle PCs, always fancied one back in the day. Such a a fiddly yet satisfying disassembly
Nice job I totally got that Sims vibe from the timelapse
Title image: It’s the shuttle PC in the SPACE SHUTTLE CRAFT!
After watching the video: What’s the purpose of my life?
The most well- planned and designed OEM desktop I had ever seen.
I picked up a server version of this Shuttle at a recycling center a few years back. I added a video card, SSD, and maxed out the RAM. Pretty fun little system to play with.
Good job
thank you
@@themctestuploadchan what
that Sega GT 2002 menu music. The nostalgia
This thing will be awesome with a modern low-profile GPU, though I'm pretty sure you know that. Great video as always.
I had a Shuttle as a gaming rig for a few years back in the early 2000s. Served me well enough until upgrade time, when it became almost impossible to get a decent one for less than building an ATX system from scratch.
I still have exactly this same XPC shuttle. Loved so much.
I remember having a choice to buy a Mini ITX Shuttle case (not the same as the one you have) or a Thermaltake Lanbox. I opted for the Lanbox and built it to be portable to play World of Warcraft at friends house on weekends when we did 3v3 arena. I also ordered the optional retractable 7" screen direct from Thermaltake. It was 720p and VGA. My mobo was Asus and it had a dualcore Athlon and 8GB ram my HDD was a WD Raptor X 150GB the Lanbox had a mount for that and you could see drive from side of case, also an internal HDD mount for 2 more 3.5" drives, its in my closet now as its too slow to do anything useful.
I have wanted one for years!! Have fun with it!
Wtf, a book inside a PC?
p.s. instant like for including the RimWorld
I'd love that pc case, unironically. I actually think an optiplex 7020 sff motherboard would fit in there perfectly, and even its PSU might fit with some very light jury rigging.
I actually own a "Shuttle SH81R". I picked it up for free when my workplace changed owners and they were cleaning house. IT had an i3 with 4 gigs of ram. I think it was meant as a security camera hub.They had no need for it, so I asked for it and got it. I cleaned it up, booted, installed a clean install of Win10. I've already got a far better PC, but I liked to tinker. It lasted for about six months before the mobo died on me. I still have the case and the weird heatsink/fan. I might put in a brand-new mobo for it, but I'm concerned about the PSU. They're kinda pricey.
Looks good, but I suggest upgrading your copy of Othello to an annotated copy of Hamlet, might run a bit faster
I found one of these in the dumpster a long time ago. It had a c2d and was perfect for web browsing after installing a gt 620.
TheLaziestGuyEver I bet!
if it's a skt775 maybe a bios mod could allow xeons with using 771 sticker mod, aliexp for cheap xeon...
Max RoadWarrior good idea if you can keep it cool. Some xeons, expecyally x54xx ones run hot.
Hayden Wallis watercooling is probably a good answer....maybe overkill and beyond the realms of budget then XD
Seriously? You got one from a dumpster for free?
junkie xl sims 2 background music... love it ❤️
I think round cables were more for function first. Made airflow SO much better than with those ribbon cables.
Omg the Sims music, so much nostalgy
So happy to hear console Sims 2 music in the background!
The Sims 2 soundtrack got me
I'd enjoy this PC as a casual UA-cam and Halo box.
Wait a second...
When I look at that power supply, it appears to be in a FLEX ATX form factor!
The screws and power plug holes match up perfeclty as well, this means that this case can actually take up to a 500W power supply from a server. The motherboard is some sort of... extended... form of Mini-ITX, and the expansion slots appear to match up with the standard. If you are willing to spend some money then you can build an actual gaming machine inside this case, along with the ariflow to match it. I'll be picking up one of these cute machines in a little.
The PSU looks like one you can get for plain 1U servers. You can get them for cheap sometimes from decommissioned servers.
nice pound shop cleaning kit. real smooth
I had a similar budget PC (with a Sempron upgraded to an Athlon X2 4600). Shoved a GeForce GT 7600 into it back in the day, and it flew! Doom 3 was a treat for the senses - nearly shat myself panicking. It should fit into that build nicely if you can still find one
Was hoping you'd pop in a PCI e card and see what happens for fun. I picture a 7600 helping this immensely!
FYI. 300 watt replacement power supplies exist. About $20 a piece. Sparkle 80+ bronze
Love the format
At 14:33 when he picked up that log I was sure he was about to smash that pc lololol
1:51 is my favourite part. :)
Magyar vagy?xD
Brilliant video again Hamish, great quality, good camera angles and overall a fantastic video, keep it up! :) Cheers Peter
Everyone saying they loved that you used the sims soundtrack, am I the only one who knows it from sega GT on the og xbox?!
the sims theme songs hits me hard
That sims 2 music hit me.
I highly recommend you not to wash fans with water because you can affect their life spam. Corrosion will appear on the fan inner coil. Personally I would recommend investing in a small air compressor. you can buy one new for under 100 pound (even less if you buy used) but its worth every penny.
1:52 woowwww XDD I'm actually reading Othello in class so this is ironic
I miss my schuttle.. it had such a nice little display on front hidden behind a mirror finish, showing time and date and could be changed for performance stats! they do have a nice formfactor in my eyes
that shuttle pc looks almost identical to my aopen XCcube pc, it's the exact same shape, with a Pentium 4 at 2.8ghz, an Nvidia TI 4200, 250gb hard drive and 1 gb of ram, with XP this is a pretty nice retro pc.
Ahh yes, Shuttle PCs. Those where the RGB if it's day. The computer to buy when going on a LAN.
This reminds me of my old Obsidian 250D ITX build. It's a neat form factor.
I've seen a lot of shit in computers but an Othello textbook is something new.
you should invest in \ use an air compressor to clean the majority of the dust out, and use a dust mask lol.
i love the cube shape of the case too. i used a silverstone sugo sg02 for my core2 duo. nowits a source server lol
Would upgrade the CPU to a Athlon 64 X2 6400+ and add a GT630/730 as well as another 2 GBs of RAM
I'm gonna have to keep an eye out for one of those, looks cute. Maybe throw some budget card from that period in it to solve the RAM thing, and keep within the power supply limit. And also give it a DVD drive. :o
I did buy a shuttle on eBay for 100 ponds supporting a future upgrade because is itx form factor,it as a old core2quad,I added a Nvidia 750ti and a ssd ,it's fast and is able to play most of the games out there
Nice one again I like your style how you make this type of video good work
5:30 that "core" pronunciation sounded like when you took damage back then in Doom
DarkLael Reminds me of taking damage in Minecraft
Love that Sega GT bgm 😊
you could put css into 800x600 or even 640x480 for better fps and you'd still see the enemies
You’ve probably be told this millions of times but try compressed for cleaning it, its way quicker and really effective :)
loving the choice of music in ur vids
It's shocking to see a computer that old, with that much dirt in it, with capacitors that look that healthy. Also, turning off "trails mode", which is basically a post-processing filter, was essential to get a playable frame rate in the PS2 version Vice City. This mode is not available on PC without mods.
That Sims 3 music in the background tho lol
Nice hearing that PS2 Sims 2 ost :P
