Transforming a 90's Hot Wheels PC into a Modern Gaming Beast

[@LGR]

Dude, this is wild to see after coming across that HWPC in the warehouse back then. Props for actually finding a way to cram all of that tech into the cramped lil thing, I know how hard these are to work with. And the additional monitors, subwoofer, pads and other additions are fantastic. As mentioned over email last year, I'm really glad that Hot Wheels PC ended up finding a home, these goofy things deserve to live a new life 👍 Also what the heck, Dallas Computer Works closed? That's a shame, it was a neat little shop to visit.

It’s pretty cool that nowadays, we have actually ironed out the kinks with small form factor boards and PC’s. The hot wheels and Barbie computers were good examples of how unprepared the 90’s folks were for machines of that type. Honestly think that the first true useable small form factor computer was the Mac Mini, and since then most small form factor boards have continued that square design with huge improvements to functionality, added integration, and cooling solutions. Also nice to see you use the shucking method too! I’ve done that to get larger drives for my computers. I gutted a 8TB portable drive to put into my main rig with its other hard drives.

If you were a kid in the 90s, and love pc tech, you understand how nostalgic it is to see this transformation. Your journey was well worth it.

[@TheSybermedic]

I remember working on several of these monstrosities back in the day as a younger IT professional. Mad props for what you accomplished with these antiques.

13:08 That is a powerfull fan.I don't like the cramped build but you have have done well installing excellent tech in that small space.

"the only one they fear is you" when unveiling how the hot wheels sleeper pc plays in its finality is a choice and i love it

[@mrmudkipman5421]

I'd fear a man who can turn a partially corroded piece of junk into the ultimate gaming setup

[@csys690]

17:03 I'm sorry, did you just max your Runescape account for a short, 3-second, throwaway clip in a video about a Hot Wheels PC? That's insanity.

[@AYDS02]

This video is absolutely amazing. After seeing memes on the hotwheels pc for years I’ve always wanted to see an in depth sleeper build video and it turned out even better than I could have hoped. Micro center a g for helping provide parts also!

[@mrwwwebs]

Absolute top-tier entertainment right here! Also, now you've got me wanting to try to dig out my parent's old CRT monitor and see what it can do!!

[@KujaTheDarkMessenger]

The amount of love and work that went into this is incredible and I'm so glad this popped up in my recommended. Subbed for sure

[@ShankMods]

Thank you, I appreciate it :)

[@andremaccarini1656]

This, good sir: 5:33, earned you my like and eternal respect lol

[@TheDJLogy]

Crazy how the monitors managed to look this good in quality. Thought they were going to be really pixelly, but didn't look too bad. Good job!

[@rusefoxghost]

The reason why, is that CRT monitors don’t actually use pixels. Because of this, nothing can really look pixelly. It could look fuzzy, but not actually pixelly. Technology Connections has excellent videos about them that I recommend, cause I can’t describe it nearly as well. As a side note, it’s also why old 2d pixel games look so much better on those old screens. The way the image fuzzes together, the pixel graphics of the game also blend together a bit making much nicer shapes and backgrounds. It’s one of the reasons why retro gamers like them so much.

[@nickforgie4290]

Some game companies actually exploited the fuzz for their games

[@nyccollin]

6:00 it’s always been “In THE Barbie World” now. Mandela Effect. Can’t believe nobody else noticed this.

[@ThePhantom4516]

Basically all of them did when CRT was the status quo in technology. that's why games of the era look far better on CRT rather than LCD@@nickforgie4290

[@Dave002]

@@nyccollin chalking up a misspoken phrase of a old ass kids movie is ridiculous, stay off the internet for a little bit brother

[@starcafe1077]

I've already had watched this video, but in my IT class my instructor had put it on because he too was impressed by it. Great video by way, always loved your stuff, awesome to see you getting a deal with microcenter!

[@ShankMods]

Yay thats super cool that a instructor put it on :D

[@spearshake4771]

I loved the video and the effort that went into making all this happen. Never knew something like a CRT would ever make a resurgence in this day and age and yet it still looks so cool and brings back a lot of the nostalgia brought on by PCs from the 90s and early 2000s

[@shadowisdum4665]

This takes creativity to a whole nother level you just got another sub

[@travis4798]

Cut the rear fan grill out and replace it with a wire type, you'll get way more airflow. These old fan grills blocked like 50% of the airflow that's being forced through them. I like the fact you retained the original functions, might as well go all the way. ;) I wonder how much better wider, slim profile fans would be on the gpu's. I've seen it done in itx builds.

[@LPTobey]

This is such a great project and the effort put into this video shows how passionate you are about it. Good stuff.

[@claybrowning2700]

As soon as I thought it couldn't possible get more absurd, you managed to crank it up another notch. Omg I loved this video!

[@timothyvandyke9511]

5:22 I'd give Micro Center all my pc shopping money if they had one nearby. By far the most based sponsor and/or store I've ever seen. So much better than Amazon and/or Best Buy
