Abandoned IBM Computer Restoration! (1992 IBM 35SX)

[@GabrielGambeta012]

Gosh, I'm totally amazed! It looked very VERY horrible when you found it. Once you restored, it looked like brand new! And fully functional! Also, whoever stepped on the keyboard, I hate him forever...

[@vikitooooooo]

make the person who stepped on the keyboard feel what it feels like to be a keyboard

[@vitmich]

Amazing work. I was working 8 years ago in pc service. We had in our service a small warehouse with computer scrap. Many of this scrap were almost complete computers from 90s and early 00s. It was a heaven for me.

he really went from plainrock124 to LGR and i love it

So this is how popular plainrock is

This is too cool, love to see life brought back into such a beautiful old machine!

[@owl418]

I just found your channel and I'm absolutely in love with these videos. You should scout out more abandoned places to find more repair opportunities

Beautiful PC, reminds my first IBM 286 system back from 1992. Great restoration!

[@erichkohl9317]

This was one of the most amazing transformations I’ve ever seen.

[@jrgen7527]

Damn what a hot machine! I realized I'm in love with primal technology's format, not content. This gave me the exact same feeling, just with cooler content. Good video man ♥️

We need more dude! This is amazing!

[@sofiaknyazeva]

This bad boy is now alive again! Awesome video, I wish I could find one of these!

I didnt know these IBM PC‘s could run Windows. Also, this is the real pro gaming setup!

this is some better quality of videos than you had earlier... damn

I watched you last night wondering when you would post again, guess that dream came true just now. (Australian time)

[@cooperryan598]

Nice restoration dude😊

[@SmashPlayz]

This is very cool bro! Great video! And I was curious so I did some googling and found out that this machine is actually an old 386SX running at a "blazing" speed of only 20MHz! I wonder if that machine had the 80387 math co-processor on the board as well?

[@Shyzah]

Im not sure about the math processor ill need to look into it. this thing could barely run windows 95 haha. I was too lazy to set up a fresh hard drive but when I do itll have windows 3.1 on it

[@SmashPlayz]

@@Shyzah Yeah, Win95 is a pretty heavy load for a 386! 😂

[@mkonji8522]

this is gold sir

[@abrahamdsl]

@10:24 Wow, I wonder who exactly was the entity that manufactured that here in Philipppines back then?

[@CopperKettle]

I weeped at the ending. I'll be rewatching it like my aunt rewatched Titanic, to weep some more.

[@cameronwright8634]

Beautiful computer. Built way before my time. I was born in 1997.

[@bestopinion9257]

4:25 Yeah, that's the way. Seriously washing, otherwise the smell and dirt is still there. Some clean with napkins.

[@MrCommodorebob]

Nice job. However stepping on that model M keyboard hurt.... alot.

[@jessegarris7037]

congrats man. I know that took some serious time.

[@modaresergio]

Great job! I love this keyboard !

AAA this is soo cool i want one!!

The computer was looking like it is more Powerful than my 4GB Potato Laptop 😅😅

[@ea0497]

That was a nice IBM pc restoration video! Although I am very convinced, in 13:59, i want to know where do I get these custom keycaps: light blue WASD and the orange-red ESC keys? Are there any links of shops or 3D models for printing these keys? I am also interested in getting older IBM Model M Keyboards.

[@Shyzah]

you can find them on the Unicomp website.

[@linuxuser145]

i love doing the same thing rebuilding old computers i do that a lot for customers

[@wezderbest6213]

from destroying technology to repairing it

[@Mobius14]

Insane, they left the hard drive in. Im pretty sure that may have contained private medical records whatever company owned the computer was obligated to destroy once the facility was abandoned, or escrow it or send it off for protection. HIPAA would have had a field day with these guys.

[@bestopinion9257]

I did something similar with a Dell from 1996. Sometimes it boots, sometimes refuses to boot or to see hard disk.

That is one happy computer, after so many years in the asylum. Greg Salazar would approve. :) It somehow resembles the computers in my "high school" (as it's called in the US), back in the 80s. They came with those huge, 5" floppy disks. I remember learning how to work in "Writing Assistant" and "Filing Assistant". Anyone knows what OS those machines had?

[@mega5621]

I think it was MS-DOS

[@SmashPlayz]

Jesus..... ISA cards, SIMM modules.... haven't seen that stuff in a great many years! Is this an old 486SX?

35SX

Wondering if anything was on the drive when it was turned back on after restoration 🤔

[@Shyzah]

there was no drive when i found it, it was stripped

[@stealthysaucepan2016]

Did the hard drive have anything on it?

it didnt have a hard drive when I found it 🥲

And what about all the other keyboards, monitors and pcs that are there? You can just let them there idk
