This PC Build Makes NO Sense

• Bro, why do you connect to 4 shit lanes when you can just use a riser cable? This is a grandpa build

• i have a friend, who grabbed like a 6cm PCie riser cable
  drilled an insert into the side panel, and then attached the other end of the riser, to the outside of the panel, slotting a 1070Ti in there
  i was never so impressed with jank, like on that day

• "This here" – Greg

• That pci slot location is sooooo stupid! I got burned when i bought one of these along with a gtx 1650 sff and didnt think to look at where the slot was because why would it be there!?

• Will it run framing simulator 22

• If it wasn't double boxed, just wow on the single layer bubble wrap pack.

• Put a legostand for the gpu.

• Are those psa graded yugioh cards on the wall or magic cards?

• Hi! Greg! I watch your cool videos every day, and learn so much new things about PC that help me a lot. Ivi from Croatia!😃😃😃

• Rx 6400 singel slot hade worked great

• And then… The PSU goes out. Good luck finding another for cheap. If you don't mind you can always use another PSU (if the size fits the Mobo connector) and make it a Frankenputer.

• Anyone know the specs for that portable monitor?

• Wow those old i7's make almost no sense they're constantly high usage on all cores in games. I wouldn't use one of these other than as a media pc or home server.

• I was somewhat disappointed from this video :
  
  Although it was a nice “transformation” ( Gigabyte RTX4060 Low Profile was impressive ) ,Greg said that he will explain something ( 05:35 : why he removed the pre-installed SSD ) which left me 🤔🤨“waiting in curiosity” , though ,until the end of the video the reason for this removal wasn’t explained …😵‍💫😵

• I just sold a Dell OptiPlex Micro 5000 and it has better specs than that

• I took twr for 110 dollars

• 13:24 I’m curious how frame gen would carry the 6700k

• 9:22 what a dense PC

• dell to slow

• I have been watching your videos since Science Studio. You usually ask for what your viewers want to see? I have an good idea for a boring video – Metrics.
  Step 1: Make a spreadsheet of all of the Fix or Flop PC's. + in house Parts Inventory for yourself.
  Specs, Customer states, Fix, Estimated parts cost, Hours = Labor cost, etc.
  Step 2: Analysis. Look for trends. What needs fixing most often? What part / SKU fails often?

• Lol I love it

• I'm slightly suprized that the GPU delivered an Output fitted into a (4) Lane PCI(E) Slot vs the Standard (8) Lane Slot ???

• Where did you get the replacement dell psu? I am looking to bring to life an old Dell Optiplex with a 6pin motherboard power connector

• You could Bolt the power supply on the bottom of the case on the outside then the lengthen the wires to reach it that would give you enough room to fit the card in the bottom slot and see the full potential of the computer. If you just want it to test it to be sure it's worth the effort you could unbolt the power supply and just move it out of the way so you could move the video card into the bottom slot then test the improvements. And if it really improved it which I'm sure it will, you could take him bolt it on the bottom and figure out from there how you want to stabilize the case if you're going to set it up and down. Or you could just always use it laying flat. The other benefit is now you can put a good cooling fan or the fan for the power supply was because there's a little power supplies don't have good fans for cooling the whole computer. Now if you don't want to drill you can use what's called double-sided heavy duty sticky tape. You can usually buy this in any store that's got a hardware section. And you want to look at the poundage of what this tape will hold and you want to buy the tape that's 20 to 30 lb so that the power supply never comes off by accident.

  Where you going to stick the tape clean it up real good, then you can take either green scouring pad or some sandpaper to rip up the metal a little bit. That'll make it to where the tape will stick better. And this tape is the type of tape that's thicker than normal tape and wherever you decide to stick it make sure it's your final choice because once you stick it it's hell to get off. If you want it to make this look nice you could make a little enclosure for it after you install it on the bottom. And you could drill a hole big enough to fit the wires through then use a plastic covering like they use on cars to cover and protect the wires. But all this would be a cheap way to get that video card in the bottom slot and give you a little more room to move some air around inside that case.

  Now if you want to make this thing look really nice you can find someone that's really good the sheet metal and they could build you a bottom section to the case to put that power supply in. But being an old computer I don't know if you want to take it that far.

• This is what toastie bros does in most videos and they sell these with the ssds that u took out hurry everybody to buy from them 😂 such nice guys

• Just sitting here thinking about how crusty that cpu thermal paste must be.

• I was Kinda hoping Greg would use an Arc card. 🙂

• rtx 3050 6gb is a possibility no external power required

• Nobody hearing that voice crack at the start 0:12

• Will that stay cool in that compact environment??? Seems awful compact and not enough fans to cool it??? Just saying. I know you guys are the experts and I am no expert by any means…….

• Would be a nice value add to have a breakdown of prices for each part you added. Just for informational purposes. 🙂

• VERY cool! I just bought a Dell Vostro 3471 that was very similar. Got it locally from Facebook for $50! (It only had an HDD and 4gb of RAM, so I upgraded it with a 1TB SSD and 32gb of RAM, just because I had it lying around. So it ended up costing about the same as yours!) 200W PSU, as well, so I put an rx6400 (max 53 tdp) in it and it's an AMAZING retro gaming machine. I love it!

• It could make sense if for example you got a used RTX A2000 (on par with a 3050) in that thing. That way you could keep the existing PSU and not deal with cable shenanigans since it's only a 70w card. Worth noting that it also has a full PCIe x16 bandwidth.

• I would have gone with an HP SFF instead. Although a little larger physically, the x16 slots are in the correct spot unlike these Optiplex PC's. I have two Dell SFF's with Core i5-6500T CPU's and the best option I came up with for one of them was to make a OPNSense firewall by adding a 4 port 2.5 Gbe card. The other one just sits doing nothing because there are no good single slot GPU options with pci-e 3.0. ETA Prime did create a single slot intel Arc 380, but that requires Above 4G decoding and ReBAR to make it worth installing and those older PC's do not support it or the ability to mod the BIOS/UEFI to enable those options.

• ‘

• They’re good little computers but at the same price or less just get the hp elite desk g3/g4/g5 pcie slots are in the right place.

• I'd replace that power supply with a low profile laptop ps and use the other PCIE slot

• From time to time I deal with Optiplex, the 5050 and up SFF are troublesome because I like to but them to pull a cheap i7 to upgrade a gaming PC, and end up putting the F SKU i3 or i5, and then have to put a single slot low profile GPU in, I normally use an ancient Quadro or Fire Pro card, but it seems like there should be something better for under $200.

• I overbuilt a SFF OptiPlex 7010 by adding an RTX A2000 GPU. It gets all of it power from the PCIE rail and is able to run all of the games in my Steam library at moderate settings, so it was worth it for me.

• lol Using an optiplex 5050 that was pimped out to a gaming pc/work pc. Barely got a gigabyte 750/1050 gigabyte to fit in there, and i thought that wasn't worth the effort. I feel so much better now about that project.

• Add a piece of packing foam because no one will see And it will raise it up a little.

• i love taking older platforms and upgrading/retrofitting them to make "sleeper" style builds. super cool.
  great vid GS!
