In fact, yeah, this pc, for some reason, was cleaner, despite how long it sat there, compared to my main pc that doesn't have an exhaust fan and its side panel out

And how did I forget that these computers used to require an audio card 😅

possible 2016, idk, this pc probably wasn't turned on for quite a while

@@armorguy5563 You should to remove Windows 10 and install Windows XP or Windows 7 on this computer.

Good one

Course poi

kinda thought it would have been a voltmeter more than likely but parents said that it's a radio receiver, in soviet times foreign radio stations were forbidden to listen to so people had to come up with some ways to bypass these regulations by making radio receivers at home, no wonder that soviet government was aware of this and they might have placed radio jammers around to make the foreign frequencies hard to catch

@darkentbg well if it turned on then it survived the death

ayo look, this pc, it's old, and it's cpu is old too, pentium 4, nobody really would nowadays want one unless some retro enthusiast, besides what would really be called "destroying hardware" is most likely tangling with really expensive ones such as modern amd or intel cpus, I'd be more careful with those, but because this computer turned on, that means I didn't break it (yes with the cpu out it wouldn't turn on), and because it's old, has no software and it has erroring bios, idk if I should keep that pc or not

Oh yeah I just remembered, one time when I swapped out my gtx 1650 with 1080 on my main pc, I had accidentally dropped my 1660 super on the carpet and next to pc case, I could have imagined how much damage that would have caused and somehow and I have no clue how, it survived Edit: it was 1660 super and I had mistaken it for 1650 XD

@@armorguy5563 It's ok, I can agree on socket 478 systems value and this particular is pretty generic, but: 1) The value of those systems and so their rarity is slowly rising. In 15-20 years they gonna be as rare as 386/486 these days and you can sell 486 machines for a good money now. Sure there was much more s478 PCs on the wild, but much more has died cause of bad power supplies (dead south bridge) and horrible case airflow of it's era. That's was an end of capacitor-plague era too, resulting some of those motherboard were scavaged for caps. 2) That's not about a hardware itself, you always can replace any hardware. It's about sending a right message. Not like i'm shaming you, nothing fatal happened, we all understand that. Just seeing some basic preps to treat hardware would be nicer to watch. That's my viewers perspective and so is my feedback. Totally not saying "omg don't touch anything", my apologies if it sounded like this 🙂

Yeah, I could have used a knife, but I didn't think twice and ended up grabbing a screwdriver (it was a phase meter, btw)

I did turn this pc on in the previous video but I get what you mean, yes sometimes old computers can turn into flying electronic popcorn hence why it's better to check if components are ok.

@@armorguy5563my Siemens has 6 capacitors 3 dead and 1 with lower capacitance, this caused the FP (floppy disk) drive to not work?? I tested the floppy drive and it was totally fine from what I think, once I get a soldering iron and replace the caps I will install windows 95/98 old pentium CPUs ( like 133-600mhz? computers have backwards compatibility with DOS and maybe other 16bit os' interesting.. Does 16 bit Linux exist? And your computer looks like it might have super socket 7, this means that you can put CPUs upto 2ghz in, but with a normal socket 7 upto 600mhz, intel sued and because they made a CPU for socket 7 which was there's but the AMD CPU was 600mhz and they had to cease production.

@@bagel0001 ok, I didn't know that, thx

You mean this box of early 2000s electronic piece of garbage?

@@armorguy5563 Not saying that. Listen .... hold on to it.... when I was 13 I had a ton old old PC's in my bedroom ... if I sold them all now I'd have over 10K ...They are in demand because they all got recycled ....They make a "brand new" 286 or 386 pocket PC but it's not the same. Haha I'm just bragging because I have a 286 from 1989. Hold on to your stuff. It'll be worth money. Look up "Pico MEM" that ISA card is insane. I Can get onto google though WIFI with a machine from 1989.

@@armorguy5563 Your computer ... I'd throw Puppy Linux on and sell it on Craigslist

It's the old ... 1990's 1980's stuff that might be worth a grand or more in the next 5 or 10 years

If I'll even find one

Well, I've been thinking of trying to do a hard reset by taking out the cmos battery and try to install windows xp, but I don't think I can play any games on it except for that classic pinball and solitaire and maybe original doom because this pc doesn't have a gpu and it has a pentium 4

Rather install Linux in it

@@armorguy5563 pentium 4's are the min requirement for most early to mid 2000s games, the lack of a dedicated gpu is a problem though, you can get a somewhat "modern" gpu like a nvidia gt 210 or 430 the pci variants for cheap and those work with xp, i'm using a 430 in mine. you could get older gpu's but people are charging more for those now. anyways even with just the built in intel gpu you could play games like dungeon siege or age of empires 2. that pinball game works even on pentium 1's. pentium 4's were around well into the 3d gaming era.

@@nakshatramudgil2526 wine wouldn't work as well as just xp, and linux isn't any fun on it's own. it would get more use as a retro gaming setup. sure you could install linux, get it connected to the net and play youtube at 1fps, but what's the fun in that? (btw i tried this with mine lol)
