I was brought a broken garbage picked Alienware Gaming P.C.
Aurora R4 desktop non alx, and decided to some deep cleaning,
fix what is wrong, and do some minor upgrading. After a day or so
i started to feel an unknown presence! Almost like little green aliens
might be trying to communicate with me some how. Watch this
restoration video to find out if i was right......

If you are in the detroit area and looking to give your yard a good facelift
him modstek sent ya. maybe he will give you a discount....

way way back in the day, Alienware was their own company and made really nice machines. They're quality immediately went down after Dell bought them out.

Really love this. It makes me want to go out and find all these old computers and shine em up! Keep up the good work.

Modstek once again man you done it. You saved another pc from the crazy trash pile. Thank you man.

Nothing better than a modstek video on a lazy Friday

[amy-joe]

I could watch your videos all day and never get bored

Fun thing, I'm commenting from a Aurora R2 with the stock i7 920's, only mod done is a new GPU and with some overclocking I can still play new releases in 2023. That's some pretty decent work for a computer from 2009.

Awesome! I was worried about spinning the fan with the compressed air though while it's still plug in. I've seen lights and voltage partially power the motherboard. That was the only time I ever did that I'm lucky I didn't fry my stuff 😱

Was one of the coolest pc setups in it's days. Definitely goes good with tristellar or quad stellar cases. Maybe a sega saturn.

I love the restoration. I love it. Great, great, great job.

I just picked up one of those with an i7-2700 but didn’t have the original graphics card. It works like a champ for my kid with a gtx 760 in it now

Great video! Im finally getting a brand new PC:
-10900KF
-Asrock OC Formula
-2x32GB Ballistix (rev E)
-RX 5700XT (TUF)

Im pretty excited, even though its not necessarily because the performance is much better over my own budget gaming PC.

yep we keep the stuff out of landfills. that is till windows 11 becomes a thing and then all my stuff is going to become a linux base system

[MineMineMelon]

it’s missing the spray paint to make this a modstek classic

[ChrisCas]

love the presentation dude thank you for showing

[FunBunChuck]

1:20 Minute and a half into the video, "Wonder what could be wrong with this Dell Alienware."

Me: "Uhmmmm, ... the cable management?"

[mohammednoor]

Enable used programs and how to update BIOS chips. Thank you for the nice explanation

[Khi]

I just got one of these with a i7 4930k and 16gb ram gtx 780 and 3tb but I have a gtx1650 super already that I can put in it so hopefully it will be a nice little gaming pc !

[Doobie]

Alienware really turned to crap once Dell got their mitts on em. Hotboxes. At least before they tried to be a little different before. And all they need is a little scrubby-dubby. Fun vid man! 👍

[mrhappy]

I love these things hoping I find one to restore myself that 6 core xeon can still put down some numbers with something like a gtx 1080. look into a ultra sonic cleaner reference tech yes city it will make life much easier for you, just make sure u snag a power supply tester so u can drain the energy out of the parts before washing

Back about ten years ago, someone gave me one of these to salvage and rebuild after my primary machine died horribly. Step 1 was to get everything out of this stupid case and into a normal case where it belonged. I think I sold the case with the rgb hub and the AIO cooler to a collector for enough money to go from 3 gb of ram to 9 gb.
