I Made a tiny Nostalgic miniature PC for my desk (3D Printed)

[@thatonesnowboarde]

the real monitors wobble like that... you nailed it

[@TheStuartstardust]

Yes! 😂 Just missing the "Turbo" button no one knows what does 🤣

[@JoBot__]

@@TheStuartstardust The Turbo button slows down the CPU so it can run older applications at the correct speed.

[@Planet2763real]

​@@JoBot__so it's more of a slow button

[@starvr]

Yea, all my CRT monitors had that wobble too.

[@JoBot__]

@@Planet2763real Correct.

[@_SurferGeek_]

19:15 - That "slop" in the monitor... replicates just about every monitor I had back in the day! Great job!

[@salimbenbouz]

Haha! You’re right! Mine too had that

[@novoiperkele]

i came to comment exactly this.

[@greenprotag]

100% the old plastic monitor stands were absolute trash. One solid smack to the desk and the whole thing would wiggle.

[@gavtremor]

@@greenprotag so true

[@redeclipseprojects9746]

dude you bit me to this coment by 3 weeks :)

[@kristoferkristensen9021]

This isn't my scene, so I thought I watch for a minute or two, but I was glued to the screen to the end. The number of disciplines involved in making this, a single individual, I can't comprehend how brilliant some people are. I really enjoyed this, thanks.

[@LaSandWitch]

You should sell these! I'd buy one!!!

[@laurentitolledo1838]

yes... in kit form....me want

[@SaiSS961]

Pls sell these and do ship internationally 😢

[@tapecompasqualegrieco8371]

you could create kits to assemble, you would sell thousands of them 💰💰💰

[@nerdyorganist]

Yes! I would buy one!

[@broavonyl5997]

I'm interested in buying as well

[@RowanVaughn-cj5cu]

it's amazing to me that in the short span of 2-3 decades we go from this piece of tech bein cutting edge, to a hobbyist buildin a miniature version for fun & it's likely more powerful too

[@coffeemug3447]

the fact you can make something so compact, functional and aesthetically pleasing is a testament to how skilled you are, holy crap.

[@domdabom33]

The algorithm did not respect this video enough

[@JasonCarr1979]

Amazing job! Don't beat yourself up over the small stuff. The monitor turning is totally a bonus and not necessary at all. This is so cute and adorable and really bring you back to the way computers were in the 90's.

[@williamtopping]

Not gonna lie. That's sweet AF!

[@DanielTGaming]

The amount of joy I am getting from seeing this work in action is astronomical. No joke, if you were to make these for sale, I would be front & center ready to buy one.

[@salimbenbouz]

Thank you! No plans for making any for sale for now but all instructions are available if you wish to make one your self.

[@gibear2k7]

Every time I opened a PC case from the ’90s, it was like signing a blood pact! Those things were covered in so many sharp edges, especially the removable cut-outs! I swear, if you didn’t walk away with at least one cut and a new set of dried blood fingerprints, were you even really building a PC?

[@els1f]

This is maybe the coolest thing I've seen anyone do with a 3d printer 🙌

[@martinuribe4722]

Simply AMAZING! I can’t get over how realistic it is. Every computer geek needs one of these.

[@jeffjarecki2036]

Without a doubt, the best video I've ever seen on KZbin. Your commitment to excellence is inspiring. Perfect video, advertisement and build I've seen.

[@BreakifyTV]

I've always wished there was a company that still made CRTs, but with modern technology, and you've absolutely nailed it! Is there any chance you could create a full-sized CRT monitor, maybe 15 or 17 inches? That would be incredible! Since older CRTs are becoming fragile with failing capacitors and other malfunctions, having a brand-new life-sized CRT with today’s tech would be amazing. I'd gladly pay good money for it! Do you think the market is too small for companies to turn this into a viable business?

[@Nikol-q4m]

I have one thats the dell optiplex 755 really good sata hard drive normal floppy drive too good It was given from my school for Christmas good gift!

[@mikedasneves]

If this was on Amazon would buy it in a heartbeat

[@jess_n_atx]

but how much would you pay?

[@No_signal_Check_Wi-Fi]

$150-ish?

[@aldazor]

Man you've got a downright gorgeous workspace, that's the only way to describe it. It was nice to see someone using resin for parts like these. You just can't get that level of detail with a normal printer.

[@tabm0de]

Nice, would have been cool if the sd card went in to the floppy slot :D

[@MinorLG]

Or, or some sort of business card CD/dvd slot.

[@paulushdk]

That's some serious engineering right there! It's spot on!

[@RestoreTechnique]

Amazing attention to detail, just beautiful. All the old school games i used to play back in the late 90's! Couldn't get Golden Axe to play on my crappy computer running Windows 3.1. My mum didnt want to get Windows 95, cause she had learned on 3.1 and was worried she wouldn't be able to use 95.

[@SatTracker]

I just found your channel through Instructables, and I have to say this was beyond outstanding from start to finish! Thanks for the great mini PC project !

[@MakesCrap]

Same! You have a wide set of skills and tools to match them! 10/10

[@Kraaketaer]

Great project! Tbh the only real flaw I can see is going with a Windows XP-styled skin for a PC with that kind of design - that's a Windows 2000 machine at most, though W98 would be just as fitting. XP era Dells were more often black and much more rounded and stylized in their designs IIRC. Now, this might be on the "going a bit too far" side, but once you're making your own SD card reader PCB, why not make a 3D printed floppy disk microSD card holder that fits into a suitable slot, where the card interfaces with a reader? Or a CD-rom tray you can pull out that holds the card? This would of course require a lot of careful design, plus probably disassembling an SD reader to get the pins without the housing, but it would be incredibly cool. Still, even as it is now, 10/10 project, super well done!

[@DavidFrankland]

That's incredible! The screen looks a lot like (and probably is the same as) the 720x720 4" display in my PowKiddy RGB30 handheld games console. It's great for playing horizontal and vertical oriented arcade games. Didn't realise you could buy it separately, so thanks for that. Come to think of it, the speakers look the same too.

[@stanislavzabara5733]

This is somewhere between astonishing and fantastic. To say that you're cool means to say nothing at all! It's like... I mean.... man I'm totally overwhelmed!!!!!!!

[@shortbanditt]

This is phenomenal. The quality of your work blows me away!

[@sergiolopes3417]

It was Beautiful, man. I really feels the 90’s vibe in every single piece that you’ve projected all by yourself, and most important thing, all that parts of the project were made with attention in details, even the pronounced parts of texture and the tiny water decals, remembering me in, and I believe, everyone here was delighted by the charming and nostalgic idea. It’s amazing. Greetings from Brazil.

[@mylittleparody2277]

0:19 16:38 Super fast build mode! Damn, I expected some quick and dirty "click bait worthy" content. And, oh boy am I glad to be wrong! You worked a lot, and really have a passion for details, it's awesome! The end result is awesome! Thank you for sharing your wonderful work with us all.

[@RaphaelRagucci-t2e]

I LOVE this video. And I wouldn't have appreciated it as much if not for the conclusion and reflection at the end of the video. Really showed that you care about the process! Keep it up big guy

[@vladimirpain3942]

I am happy. I was born to exact moment when computers came to my country, so I could literally grow up with it.

You could add tiny smd LED (or other one) to illuminate LED on monitor, but god darn this is the most interesting video with RPi i have seen in a long time, even music in this video is retro and fits the theme! Well done!

[@davidinark]

The work you put into this project plus the great editing and camera work are top-notch! The monitor wobble is definitely a real-life thing, so that's actually a "happy little accident." Great video. Subbed for sure so I don't miss out on your other projects!

[@OrugaVerde6]

And ofcourse the mini XP can play Doom 😂

[@CharlieEJD]

Man those old Beige box desktops give me so much nostalgic feels. Great work! This is so cool. id 100% buy one of these

[@DYNANiK]

Dear Salim, honestly, make this a buyable thing... maybe just in a small amount! I've just turned 40 this year, and THIS is exactly what would stop my midlife crisis!

[@stefanfredin7120]

I do love how you embedded the ad/sponsor in the video. I didn’t even skip ahead at the risk of missing content 🤷‍♂️ Also a fantastic project!! 😊 You gained a sub and probably a lot more.

[@laymayday]

So cute, love it! The only thing missing is the curved effect on the screen, but that is probably very hard to replicate. You would probably need actual glass to achive such a result. But seriously, this was amazingly well made! Thumbs up!

[@paulpaulsen7777]

Well done Sir! My biggest respect. And really nice and beautiful piece of artwork as result ❤

[@Retrobution]

AMAZING. I have been looking at doing this for many years, but basically just sticking a pi inside of an existing case I have that looks like a miniature pc but it is a novelty storage case for floppy discs. But you have gone total next level and the design of it is spot on. Now just to make some miniature speakers! The only thing I would have changed really is having the micro sd slot be a standard sd slot with a microsd inside an adapter card. Not sure if this messes up anything with the pi system, but the bigger sd slot may be less fiddly. If you did a small kickstarter for these (say 1000 units) just the kit without the pi, you would probably get the funding within a day and then some!

[@Virgil_G2]

The end result turned out fantastic, very similar to my first computer back in the day.

[@GustavoOliveira26138]

Man...i used to have one of those at home back then in 2005-2008.Good times 😢

[@alexsidorenko1795]

I have some suggestions for significantly improving the product experience and making it even more realistic than the original. One of the main things that is noticeable right away, that tells you it only looks like a replica, is the lack of a lensed screen made from glass. It is possible to create it from clear resin mold. The best option is to cast a glass shape, which is a complicated process, but this will be a top-notch solution. Another thing is not to add extra weight to the monitor. This could be done quickly by adding small metal inserts on the side walls of the box. But even with all configurations, this project is in a league of its own! It would be cool to convert the old ball mouse and keyboard to wireless. So there will be a complete setup

[@freerangemtb]

To think that a tiny micro board like the Pi is more capable than the full-size PCs this one is emulating is just bonkers.
