Nice to know that the Xeon CPU will work on the Lenovo motherboard. I will be installing 2 x i7-4790 & i7-4770 in three M83's soon. Paired with an EVGA GTX 1060 6GB, 32GB RAM, 512GB SSD.

@@DLMtechgarage Hey I’m a streamer and content creator. I recently purchased this exact Lenovo with the same i3 and other specs. I’m a licensed electrician with some iT experience from years ago. But I bought it for the same idea to upgrade and make it my first gaming pc. My question is, what upgrades do you recommend other then the ones you did but to give me the ability to play AAA games like COD & Warzone. Also I absolutely love how you added the glass to give it a more modern gaming pc look, but is it possible if I remove the dvd drive if I could cut a bigger window, and where did you purchase the rubber trim and plexiglas from? Thanks so much for this video. I subscribed and definitely turned that bell notification fully on, also saved this video to my channel being that I’m going to probably rewatch multiple times for reference

[@DLMtechgarage]

@@dr_gonzocmg5589 possibilities are endles my friend. you can cut a bigger window but be mindful of the latch mecahnism and make sure you have anough for the glass to adhere to. the trim I got from amazon and the plexiglas from lowes which is my local hardware store. will post a link to the trim. only reason i use the trim is because I don't have good cutting skills but if you get a solid steady cutting had then it looks cleaner without it. especially if you file and smooth the edges. for upgrades it just depends on your budget and ofcourse graphics card availibitliy. you can go i7 or xeon equivalent. I personally like the xeons as I am all about the better bagn for the buck. for graphics. the smaller the card the better as the card will interfere with the usb. I would recommend something like a 1660 or 2060. max out the ram. run ssd's and it's a solid rig. thanks for the support for the channel and don't hesistate to reach out if you have anymore questions. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KG9BAY0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hey I'm thinking about moding my personal pc, what tool did you use to cut the slide of the case and where did you get the glass and the thing that holds it and makes it look smoother.

[@DLMtechgarage]

I use a dremmel with a metal cutting bit, make sure you have a bunch as it burns through them quickly, I lately got a grinder and have been using that, faster but a little less precise. the glass was just plexy glass I got at my local hardware store, they typically can cut it to size for you or you have to buy a sheet and usea cutting tool they sell for it. I use the edge trim and will post a link below. they bite on good and a dab or gorilla glue where they meet holds them well. Then to hold the glass on I typically use silicon glue and it works. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KG9BAY0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_image?ie=UTF8&psc=1

[@Bulldawgfan]

I went back and watched all of your content, really enjoyed it. I do have two questions that you could make clear. One is the windows cut outs. Are you using 1/4 inch fuel line cut down the middle them pressed onto the cut out to line it with the rubber, so that the metal does not have sharp edges ? You mentioned that you sell your computers on Facebook Marketplace, the example I was watching you sold the computer for $250.00, Does the shipping then get paid by the buyer and added to the price, so $250 + shipping ? and these Mid Towers are heavy so does the buyer end up paying around $50 more dollars for shipping ? Where else do you sell ? I started out long ago using Ebay and Paypal but they take to much of the profit and make it not worth the effort unless you get the office PC for free. I hope you have time to answer these questions because I have stopped building because of not having a place to sell and I miss the fun of a successful, nice looking, once boring office PC turned into a gamer. I really liked the change up on the window cut out above, I liked the smaller, different location, nice office pc upgrade.

[@DLMtechgarage]

I use these edge trim I found on Amazon. Works great. They hide my jagged edges due to my lack of cutting skill lol... I then use a hot glue gun to glue the glass to the trim and case. Link below. I only sell on Facebook and do in person pick up. they meet at my house so they can see the computer in action. I don't do shipping. Did it once and it was a disaster. Shipping damage and a shady buyer scared me for life!! Now I occasionally sell individual parts on ebay but never a whole computer. You can loose profit because of the shipping and buyers won't pay your asking price because of the shipping. Computers sell quick and I get my price I want by avoiding online. When I did sell that one time, the buyer paid for shipping and I paid for insurance which saved me in the end. Asking the buyer to pay insurance ups the price and deters people due to the increased price. I only stick to selling on Facebook. In my experience, the other selling apps or more sketchy. At least with facebook you can sometimes learn a little more about the seller and or buyer by viewing their page. For example, if they don't have a profile picture I won't sell to them or If I see something on their page that's inappropriate or illegal I won't sell to them, plus the buyer/seller selling rating helps give a little more piece of mind. Since doing it this way, I have a good seller rating and have developed a community where people buy from me and become return customers. I make them come to me and never go to them. Remember, they want your product!! The case window with the RGB is honestly the key to selling these computers. I have sold computers like this soo much quicker and for my asking price compared to non rgb window oem office pc's. I have tools and plexiglass is relatively cheap if you need it for multiple projects. I then buy my rgb from ebay for like $5. These two mods always get me my asking price. Had a PC with some awesome specs sit around for a month before it sold and I was selling it for a steal of a price. The RGB window which was a low level entry pc sold a day after listed and that's always the case. Honestly Facebook is the way to go in selling and I have had good success with it plus you build your community with it. Lot's of my buyers end up friending me, subscribe to the channel and then call me for repairs, builds and recommend me to others. Hope this helps!

Yea I have built in that one before. It's very tight to build in, limited air flow and the power supply is not bad but limits the type of gaming build you can do. I would probably use it more for an Office PC build using a low end gpu. For more modest pc gaming that case will def cause some heating issues and limit the type of gpu you can use.

you would need an adaptor to change to a traditional power supply which you can get on amazon. as far as the cpu fan, you can use whatever. I use the cooler master i71c and it fits and performs great.

[@giovannivelazquez4058]

I just got a M83 with a core i7-4770. It already had a GT620 but I want to change it for a RTX 2060. It bottlenecks, but the impact is incredibly low for a 8-yo computer. I'm currently doing a lot of research to see what I need to buy in order to make it work. Starting with the power supply with a 24 to 14 pin adapter. The only problem I got is that I got the slim version. The MoBo is the same but the case is thin, so I'll need to change it because of the graphics card. But I don't know what size de MoBo is. Any info about it?.

[@DLMtechgarage]

the bobo is a matx for the sff. the swap is the same. I have an older video on the channel where I did a swap with the sff. Figured out some of the front i/o like power and leds but never did figure out the usb and audio. other then that it worked good and was pretty easy. the video series is like 3 i think. will post a link to the first kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYDIp4Wqa6-aiM0

Being able to see inside your computer or adding christmas lights to it is equivalent to a clear acrylic toilet bowl and tank.... possibly adding RGB in the tank and under the seat. Things need to work rather than be sparkles to dazzle my little monkey brain. And that much $ to play video games and light up.... kinda like the kid that buys a rusted $500 car and puts a $2500 stereo in it first. Not trying to be negative, but I have one of these still running flawless as an office PC. but thanks to a million videos like this, someone I know bought an old office PC cheap, and swapped out everything to the max they could and then did all the goofy paint and lights which did not help performance one bit and now they are left with an underpowered, outdated, almost useless lame ass ugly pile of ewaste and complain they have no money left to get an actual system that will just run the games they want to play and waste time with...rather than be out working and making money and not need to waste time..... ahh its a vicious downward spiral. end of useless rant, carry on with sparkles and blinking lights if that is your ambition in this very short life.
