I recently painted a computer that I restored to a light blue or cloud Gray color. Is a 2009 compaq SR5710 that was black. Around the mid and upper 2000s was when computers were no longer painted tan or light Brown like they were in the nineties and early 2000s . So I wanted to recapture some of that light color energy, so I sanded down my computer computer and Re imagined what a light color could be, so I used .some furniture rated paint paint and now I think it looks pretty cool.

I just clicked on this out of curiosity while eating supper. I found your cleaning ideas very helpful. However in my case before I touch any of these to much once it is in my house, I wipe it all down on the outside with a paper towel with window cleaner on it. Now the interesting part was this case design. about 8 years ago a fellow I worked with said his church was given all of these computers and they really did not want them and so I asked my sister who home schools many children she adopted, and she did want them. There were 7 of these computers. They were windows 95, 98 era, all having a 450 or 500 MHz processor. I was able to bump all of them up to 1000 MHz and Windows XP. Now the unique point was the case style. Almost the same design as this one at 3:59 with this other sound board on the front. However the ones I had did not include the lights or the buttons for the computer functions, only the volume control and the mic and headphone and USB jacks. The ones I had had a wider case and a regular full size ATX power supply, and two speakers on the front and option for two CD/DVD drives and the floppy was sideways in the middle with the hard drive mounted next to it. However it was apparently wired in to some larger control system using a large parallel 25 pin plug on the back. I was able to find a place to connect to the front of the amplifier and put a stereo wire with 1/8" stereo plug on it and plugged it in the back line out and that allowed the stereo amp and speakers to work with the computer. Funny seeing one close to that design.

HI, Just a quick note, i worked for a large organisation until 1997, the IPEX was very common and worked well, notable was its power supply being quiet and was able to put up with power fluctuations in one older building that would make lights flicker or dim, most other PC's were Osborne's and laptops genuine IBM's, the other desktops would freeze or reboot but the Ipex kept working - trivial but tell that to some one who has not save a file for 2 hours Oh they were popular because made locally here in Australia gave it a big boost in the choosing criteria

I have the same computer I used when I was a kid, almost 20 years ago. It was a 10GB hard drive that had Windows XP in it. It was actually meant to run Windows 95. Around 2015, my brother tried to rebuild it, but did a terrible job. It was around the time I finished building my first PC and used what I learned to rebuild the PC. So, I fixed all of the mistakes my brother did and did a complete overhaul after my parents let me keep it. Fast forward today, it uses Windows 95 (US and Japanese) along with new RAM, PSU a new AGP card and new HDDs (literally new in box too!) I have some plans for this computer, which involves a SCSI PCI card.

1:53 into the video the BIOS screen clearly shows the CPU speed being detected as 1.4 GHz...This is weird as I don't believe there ever was a consumer board released with hardwired CPU speed limit. Since this is obviously an OEM product it might be that the BIOS is an OEM version also with some pages and setting hidden. What most likely causes this mis-detection is the Intel SpeedStep function turned ON in the bios settings without means for the end user to turn it off, the aforementioned hidden page. If that is the case then windows about page should mention SpeedStep as being ON. There are utilities out there to switch it OFF even for OEM BIOSes. The feature itself is useless and If I'm wrong then this is one seriously weird board with an artificial limitation that serves no purpose...

A Core Duo or Core 2 Duo from a couple years later would cost a similar amount to purchase nowadays and would use about half the power. Pentium 4s legitimately are room heaters, it’s not hyperbole like it can sometimes be. Partially because they don’t usually underclock while idle like a more modern chip, so it’s consuming maximum power all the time.

That IPEX PC is a Commonwealth Government build - used in the Group-8 contract clients. The first batch we made were all ASUS P4C800's which went to PSMPC/ATO/ACMA. The first machines were so fundamentally bad - we rolled out about 300 computers at the Edmund Barton building - and they all had to boot-up to get their image downloaded to it... Every single computer had the same MAC address burned in to the 3COM NIC soldered on the board. We needed to make up floppy disks with a flash-update tool and go machine-to-machine updating them to make them work.... Much stress. They were complete crap - they had about a 20-30% failure rate. The second batch of machines were with the Intel board - and absolutely rocked..... for the time.... They went to PSMPC/ATSIC/AFFA/ABARE... They were the better machines.... Intel NIC, good graphics cards, quality memory... Also only Seagate HDDs. I moved away from IPEX ITG in 2005 - was there for almost 5 years. It kept winding down because of the competitive environment we were in.

It's funny how people get new computers just because theirs a new device out. Running my nividia geforce 625GT since 2011 and never have problems playing any video games, like world of warships or ultimate admiral. I going to have to remember that Eucalyptus oil you used, never heard of anyone using that before. Love watching these teardowns of old computers, great show man!

Since this was running windows 7, looks like someone used it for such a long time. I kinda wonder how it would’ve performed under windows 7 and if it had aero.

I am also interested in this too and also wondering its performance under windows 10 as well. On 7, I personally suspect it was fairly slow and only upgraded to 7 due to xp losing support. As for having aero, I doubt it, it was probably just used in basic or classic mode due to its age.

I remember a computer with that exact case, even though I'm from the US and I'm almost positive it wasn't branded "Ipex", I think it was either unbranded or had Gateway or Acer branding on it. My elementary school's fleet at the time was primarily the regular old boring Dell OptiPlexes, this one was in a therapy room and definitely was a rarity.
