Overall this is an excellent video. I built this gaming machine exactly as you described, using all the exact same components. I bought the PC from eBay and everything else from Amazon. The process was very smooth and nearly exactly as you described it. Downloading the img file and getting it flashed to the new 1TB SSD took longer than you mentioned, but those could be due to environmental differences on my setup. There was one step that you didn't include in your video at all, which is that when you open the PC, there is a separate component covering the SDD on the board that must be removed. In your video you had already removed it and didn't mentioned it but it wasn't a big deal to see that it needed to be removed and do it. The result: My family loves it. I have a 6 year old daughter who had never played the original Donkey Kong (my favorite game growing up) and now she can't get enough of it. I am grateful that you made this video and grateful the YT algorithm surfaced it to me. Great work on this and thank you.

I've been telling everyone for 3 decades to give me their PC scrap
BATOCERA systems are what I have been trying to accomplish since '97 lol
Good Job! New Sub!

Yeah, these used PCs are the way to go for emulation. I am really into building arcade machines and the mini PCs offer so much more flexibility. You are right, they are way more powerful than many of the single board computers. Also once you start adding large SD cards to the single board computers, the price really shoots up.
You can really save a lot of stuff from going into land fills by using old PC monitors and used speakers for your bartop arcade builds, and even if you just give them away, you are providing hours and hours of fun for someone.

Rareware games are always beloved N64 titles. I like Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, I truly never thought the price on that one would get to what it is, but it makes sense, it's a fun game that has held up pretty well, people still want to play it, the soundtrack brings a lot of charm. Despite selling very well, the price has gotten on up there.

I'm always excited for your uploads!

I'm a PC builder with 30 years of experience. Thermal paste is always a debated topic, so I'm just sharing my opinion based on my experience. I think that you used a bit too much paste, and in an inefficient manner. Will is matter on this machine? Perhaps not. However, the top two methods for applying thermal paste are the pea-sized drop in the center of the CPU, or my current favorite, an X-shape with about the same amount of paste as the pea-sized drop. The X provides very good coverage. It nicely fills in the gaps when you press the heatsink down.

Please for the love of god the poor little cpu is just looked like it got a bukakku of thermal paste

Congratulations to the winner 👏 Banjo Kazooie is awesome

These mini pcs are excellent for batocera emulation. I've got a i7-6700t that I recently purchased for emulation. Works a treat and is portable.

Dude awesome tutorial. Very clear didn't skip steps just awesome.

[ftheab]

I run CRT shaders on my emulation machine to give it more of a old school look

[Bigfacez]

Sorry if I’m missing something obvious but why is the thermal paste being cleaned and replaced?

[chrisblumarten]

this was incredibly perfect, thank you very much. I followed your exact steps and it worked first time.

[RoxasandNaruto]

Nice video but that thermal paste was way to much lol

[deet_]

Dude, this vid is exactly what I didnt know I needed 😂

[raulbracero]

😭 I i what it that for my collection!!! Congratulations man!!! Thats an amazing precedent take care of it 🤘

[saivyia]

Great video, why did you redo the thermal paste? Just to be safe?

[azcoyote]

No point taking off the old over applied paste to just apply way too much again. And uneven to boot. Add paste to the center. Use a biz card to scrape an even layer to the edges but not so much that you will get squeeze out.
