[matthewday]

You made the blood sacrifice to the PC gods, they will smile on you

[ilxcell]

Man brings back memories from the 90/2000s everybody used to make there pc there own now everbody just throws there stuff in a case and call it done

[Doobie]

1050 is still a handy little card to have around, heck even the humble 1030 is a godsend for diagnostics.You put so much into those old bangers, it never fails to impress, man! Oh and laptop and usb Apple-usb drive thingy, you will have to make a video of that now! 😉👍 Great stuff man! You & yours well and keep on rocking those fun, fun mods!

[Churchgrimm]

Looks fantastic! You probably drop a 1060 in there and still avoid a bottleneck in the vast majority of games. It's amazing how much life those old i5s still have in them.

Hey modstek,
Your work is absolutely incredible and you inspired me to mod my old Dell Optiplex into this computer I have now. Your work is truly art and I enjoy watching your content. Keep it up!

[NatePick]

I love modding cases. But I have noticed that there is a few tools and machines that you use that I don't have. Would you ever consider doing a tool/machine tour of what you use and what brand?

[erichkohl]

I simply must applaud this one, hell of a job you did.

[Agoz]

Amazing I love the HP Compaq series. Keep it up dude

[maker]

that looks really nice all it really needs in my opiton is a 3rd rgb fan for the front for a total of 3 rgb fans and also one for the rear and a plexi glass for the side panel! :D and maybe a rgb fan for the cpu cooler

[andystech]

That is honestly an awesome little project!!!

[Swpz]

Awesome job, but please don't put your thermal paste like cake icings.

[dtharve]

Good stuff bro!! Love all the orange in your paint jobs.

[azureknight]

I'm surprised how much that little bit of orange trim on the HSF does so much.

[matthewowens]

you might get orange heat spreaders for the ram. it's a purely aesthetic choice but still would improve its look overall.

[superganjahleaf]

Hell fkn yeah!!! Remember the old days when men were called men by other men? Yeah, this is how a man upgrades his computer.
Way go old man, thank you for making us other old guys proud with this dope ass upgrade video. I dare say, with all of the millennial pc upgrade vids, this one is by far the best one...
