[@lillebrorsanvincent2017]

XP keys work for 7

[@charlestilley2576]

If you do all of the upgrades, to XP, then Windows 7 (only two!), then can upgrade to Windows 10 for free. Just have to reinstall Windows 7 clean after the upgrade to 64 bit. Genuine XP & Windows 7 (or Windows 8, which can be upgraded to from XP), are cheap. Just but at the right places, the Tech Power Up site has some links on promos.

wow, really enjoyed this. i work in IT for media companies. it would be so much fun but such a nightmare from a support standpoint to build a whole fleet of sleeper PCs like this. would be a fun motif i think - walking a client through the editing room and seeing a whole bunch of emachines on the desks, haha. would be priceless.

Just a heads up for ur next sleeper PC or some sticker remover use WD40 and let it sit for 10min and take a old card and scrape with light force will take it off with out issue and then use some running Alcohol to clean up the grease after wipe it down with a damp cloth to get rid of the smell combo left Behind.

[@Chainspike101]

I built a sleeper for work. We work hard at work but only for short periods of time. Sometimes we have a lot of down time and we're allowed to play games as long as the work gets done for the day. So we knock it out and then you can do w/e you want pretty much except sleep. The only problem is the work PCs are very limited and cant really play anything great. So I decided to bring in a mini itx from home. The only problem was the IT guys were not as thrilled as I was about the RGB fans and lights and soon I was told by my boss it needed to go back home :(. So to get around this I took one of the old towers we had in the storage closet that were discarded by the IT guys. I pretty much did the same thing you did but no where near as nice I just needed functionality. It worked great and is much lower key and I've gotten a few weird looks by the IT guys as to why i'd want to run the old obsolete tower but I just tell them I like it and they just shrug. Now I can game at 144hz :) on an old sleeper pc at work. It's great!

[@phantom124]

lmfao dude

Really glad to see someone actually modding the case instead of just building a PC. Great video, good job.

[@mallon04008]

This is a great-looking build well done. Also I've used that same motherboard in the 3 builds now it's such a good value for price-to-performance and features-- it's tough to beat

[@DarthOwenZ]

just a tip: to remove stickers use hotwater+tissue :) works most of the time :)

[@jamesdavies686]

A lot of effort for the power supply when several companies make SFX 80+ 500W units.

[@fuzzjunky]

corsair makes a 600 platinum. as soon as i saw an SFX and he didn't recognise what it was i nearly shed a tear.

[@RoeMantic]

Incase you forgot to listen, he is using most parts from future builds!

[@fuzzjunky]

@@RoeMantic that's really not a reason at all. an sfx would have slipped in with zero modding. it was insane not to use one

[@RoeMantic]

@@fuzzjunky this PC is not staying together. It's just for veiws and comments. And your falling for it. I recycle PC and for all I care he cold have use a junk 380 watt optiplex power supply. Falling for all the hyper. Not sure if I feel sorry or empathy. Real stuff happens on my channel. I appreciate this guy building something to watch but it invest no stock that anything will stay in this PC!

@@fuzzjunky maybe next time send him a PayPal tip and he can get said power supply lol!

Protip: buy a Step bit for your drill. Would make drilling those indents out a breeze. Sick build though. Edit: 32gb overkill for gaming? **laughs In modded Minecraft**

[@HookerHeels]

*cLaughs in Cities Skylines*

[@snugglyjeff214]

Yes, 32gb is still overkill for gaming. It makes a very negligible amount of performance difference. Mostly you just want it to be as fast as your mobo/processor allows. Also he didn't want to purchase a hole saw because he didn't wanna spend the cash for something he would not use much after completing the build...so why would he spend just as much or more on a step bit? Those things can be anywhere from 20-60 dollars at lowe's and I will only buy one if my employer is letting me use the company card. To be fair though, you can find them pretty cheap online, but they dull too fast to be worth it.

@@EvilTurkeySlices Yeah, after I posted this I remembered that little fact. I'm pretty sure people get the joke though.

This brings back memories from the “good old days”. Back then if open the case of a PC, you are likely to see wires and cables tangled together. The design of that case looks typical of cases from that era. The design of PC cases and it’s components have come a long way.
