This is exactly why I’ve subscribed to your channel . Just enjoy watching this 👌

[@abhyudaysingh574]

Hey Andrew, I'm a fan of yours and I've been enjoying your content since a long time now. I am a laptop guy just like you and you are doing a great work by making these videos. Not a lot of people here at KZbin make the content like yours. I am studying cybersecurity and in this field, the use of operating system "Linux" is used very often. So I wanted to suggest you to try using Linux in these old hardwares, as it can be better than older versions of windows and can perform modern tasks at a light form factor. Thanks for always making good content. Kudos.

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

I like the fact this guy puts tech back out into the Wild. Instead of into the landfills! 💯💯💯💯💯

[@henrymca]

Love how you give these old laptops (that usually just thrown) out a new life

[@johnq7579]

You're sooo patient in your projects

[@MoikeIsJesus420]

Dude has amazing and creative ideas, He turned this older laptop into a gaming laptop. Nice work man!

I keep asking Jerry what he does with the electrionics he tears apart, &, if I can have them... He never replies! Bummer! Thanks

As always you have done an excellent job and special as usual. Love your videos always

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you bro :D

[@EhEhEhEINSTEIN]

I think the dragon logo should've been 2" at the most. I know it's what every real manufacturer does but it looks more clean. Still love the video, I always look forward to your uploads. Best soundtracks on YT!

[@multiomer1997]

I love the dragon light in the dark! Very original and special!! Luv it!

I was waiting for your video from so much time but when you uploaded i was having dinner(INDIA 10 PM) so now i am watching it. keep it up

[@levicagampang7139]

After watching you for a long time i finnaly made my first restoration i was scared cuase i might make permanent damage to my laptop and it turned beautifly ive learned a lot from your videos thankyou for entertaining and inspiring us

[@ppaulletta]

Congratulations for the work, Andrew! It is superb how you give new life for computers like these.

[@sussendrensivakumar3284]

[@michaeljohnsayre4296]

the upgrade was not that much, but you did a great job. this a true restoration not like the other youtubers who replace almost all the components and chassis. Great Job man!

[@manz5377]

These videos make us feel good on our mid-tier laptops. :) The internals of that laptop looks already clean for a 15yrs old laptop...the fan must be really bad in bringing air (& dust) to the internals..

[@sharingmadness4813]

Andrew, man i enjoyed every second of you restoring this Laptop, man i was bored and this video just chill me up, awesome work on restoring this oldy to a something enjoyable to look at, best wishes man, keep up your great videos bro

[@skchen83]

Really nice work. Reminds me of myself 15 years ago taking apart ThinkPads and painting them to give my daughter a lavender colored laptop. I really enjoy watching your work!

[@IamAhmedMohammed]

22:20 I expected you to turn down the lights and get the dragon to shine with the drop, that wold have been sick ❤ that's a great ass work, keep it up Andrew, much love ❤❤

Impressive as always! Thanks for the video Andrew, idk but for me I find your videos relaxing and very chill.

[@ero-samairianto625]

10:24 Some real dedication there. Wow

[@jonahman15]

Just gonna say that you're way better than those fake restoration channels. You know, the ones that find discarded electronics in the dump and try to fake fix them.

[@coolrift8934]

I love these types of video, from old laptops to modded modern looking laptop.

[@augusto3045]

The transformations that you make in the notebooks are beautiful, you are an expert in this; Invest in it to make money with customers you are very good at what you do and the paintings are getting top !!! A pity that in this video Acer did not install Windows 10 Pro on it, just put an SSD and increase the ram that would be top !!!

[@aldendepooter8784]

Great job Andrew! The mod case With the dragon looks amazing i love these kind of mod vids. im totally subscribing

[@TheSpotify95]

Really nice upgrade! Your videos have inspired me to look at my older laptops and upgrade them where required. Also, if you need a replacement hard drive for laptop with IDE connector, IDE hard drives are relatively low capacity and now starting to be quite expensive. You can get IDE to mSATA converter on eBay for about £10, then fit an mSATA SSD. I will probably do this whenever I need to fit a new disk into an old IDE connector.

[@kopulusreina4278]

Aaahhhh, when vga ports was standard and laptop designs stays the same for newer models until trends changes. I got a similar acer from 2006 that has intel core duo cpu with 1 gb ram and 80gb of hdd with ati gpu... forgot what ati it was... but the laptop has overheating issues and I didn't know anything about laptops and computers back then and youtube was pretty much still in it's infancy in my country... Seeing such an old beast being resurrected here is pretty awesome :D

[@comradejimmy3411]

My grandfather has this laptop lol and he used it from 2006-2012 and I played half life and other good old games on it. It's a slow laptop but the nostalgia keeps it alive !

[@whitebeartigtig]

Very cool, I like these Acer laptops and I’ve restored and upgraded one myself. It’s specs are Core 2 Duo T7200, 4GB DDR2 667MHz and 240GB SSD running a custom version of Windows 7

[@the1224-duh]

this is actually better than those fake repair videos a lot.

[@fadih6696]

ur absolutely a fabulous and creative !! I've actually had the same laptop 15 years ago and now I regret selling it out after watching this video looool :)

[@fantasyviii3665]

Most people would have throw this laptop to the Garbage. But make it look better and stronger too. Great job.

This old acer remind me of mine aspire 5735. They weren't much back in the day but when it comes to gaming they sure were capable of running games that had high requirements back then without heavy impact on performance.

That mod looks absolutely gorgeous. I think a laptop like that can be used to run android x86

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you bro :D Yep, the Android X86 it will work perfectly

[@arindamroy5181]

Why don't you paint the bezels black? That would have looked much better I believe. Otherwise awesome video bro👌

[@Alphosphate]

Me: *sees the reflection on the screen at 1:23 * also me: oh hey, that looks like Siren Heads body

[@houssemeddinemhiri8909]

What you've done is so great .. really .. i just kind of feel it's just a waste of time because no one would use this kind of laptops nowadays.. I just wish that someday you'll upload a video in which you upgrade an already powerful enough pc to a beast pc .. u got the skill and the imagination to build and upgrade a full option gaming pc .. i wish u consider this idea

[@elfedorausado]

Actually, install a light Linux distro, and you would have a very capable system for everyday tasks. You don't need updated specs to check social media, watch KZbin (maybe not in HD, though) and use offimatic suites. In developing or third world countries, such a machine would mean a way for some to bridge the digital divide, somewhat.

[@waltergonzalezpaz5995]

I think you should have used a Compton tape for the heatsink, it is not sensitive to high temperature, it is made to resist up to 400 °C. Have a nice day!

[@NJ255]

Awesome transformation ❤️

[@temetka]

I like this. The red and black look great together. I think the dragon should have been smaller, but that's just my opinion. What did rigger me was you painting over the Acer logo on the back of the lid and model # on the bezel. But the machine looks way better than when you started.

[@ComputersAndTechAndAndrew]

Thank you bro :). actually I planned to make the logo smaller, but the plastic on this laptop is very thick and hard, not flexible. I afraid to not brake it because i don't have another case :D. But if i do this on the newer laptop, then that is a different story. The newer laptops have thinner and more flexible plastic, and cutting, modifying it will be much easier

[@knightof1990]

That skin mod would be very nice if it's applied to any ultrabook. Love the dragon.

[@Motishay]

21:06 you can fit an m.2 in there with an adapter. Even with IDE speeds it should be a night and day difference since an SSD will actually max out the IDE bus, unlike an HDD

[@playerongaming]

Very Informational Very useful for those who are interested in Hardware and repairing

[@crazyfurnaceguy1229]

[@calso_]

That's really cool ! I like those entire restoration projects with the cool designs you do ! Great video If you see this, I wanted to ask you something : what would be your method for removing stuck screws on a laptop heatsink (without breaking them forever preferably) ? I tried the rubber band technique already but nothing works...

[@remynisce33]

Great andrew! Love that red color!

[@waltergonzalezpaz5995]

Gracias Andrew! Hermoso trabajo, es inspirador! Seguí así..

[@waltergonzalezpaz5995]

There's a PATA (40 PIN IDE). In the Kingspec brand with cheap SSD nand flash drive. I think it's not very expensive. You can look for it at amazon or eBay, even in AliExpress. Thanks for the T7100 suggestion, I have a Celeron 900, single core 2.2GHz. I'll replace with that. Thanks!

[@gugajedi]

It's awesome, although you should try to remove the bubbles on the carbon foil. You could use a adapter from IDE to Flash that could fit inside the hard drive space, so you could use a 32GB Flash card that would be faster than the IDE spinning disk and would improve the machine performance. Try to search for some IDE to Flash that could fit inside the drive space.

[@Noname14-53]

This is some kind of art.

[@tyger_277]

Hi Andrew I love your videos, I have a question where did you buy Laptops?

[@NeptuneSega]

KZbinrs please stop the annoying EDM music on the videos... Otherwise, great restoration and mods! Looks really good and recycles the electronics.

[@maltomeal3]

Cool my buddy. I have seen someone use IDE to SATA converter and they took apart a SATA SSD casing and just plugged in the chip that is inside of it.
