In this video I showcase a cheap custom PC that I bought off ebay, threw some upgrades at it and turned it into a capable gaming PC. I also sold off some of the unused parts to help get some extra profit off this system.
So this was just harvesting the CPU and RAM from the PC to build a new one. You could have just put a RTX 3050 6g in it and upgraded the cooler and had a sweet PC for less than $250
Those are some very very old ports, I suspect possibly SCSI ports possibly the 100 pin variant. There should be some markings on that card. Or at least on the ic's. As for what someone is using SCSI for in 2024 I have no idea other than the owner has some old very hardware they need to interface with
2:51 Looks like a SCSI Interface... but at the same time it doesn't. It could possibly be some sort of controller card for some industrial equipment, and from all the packing, (ableit it failed) this makes me think that this was supposed to be a industrial computer of some sorts meant to operate some bit of machinery... if your able to supply me with better photos of both the port and the card that could help me a lot with identifying whatever this is. Including with the motherboard (a fairly reliable and robust one...) makes me think that.
yeah it's either a 68 or 100 pin SCSI I'm pretty sure. The previous owner must have some ancient hardware lying about. Old CNC machine possibly? I've seen maybe 3 SCSI ports in my life and they came in all sorts of form factors
@@Midori_Ringo Yeah, I kinda figured it was SCSI since of the pin array that I was able to decypther, SCSI had a lot of form factors and its strange and weird.
wait. this old ass board would sell for 140 iin the states? that makes no sense at all. Thats like new b760/ B650 board prices. Like I was confused. In EU if you bought this PC for 100€ that would strech it, still more on the overpriced site. But if you git like that shit of used prices in the US, why does anyone even buy used?
Workstation board. Not a consumer board. VRM are tougher, has u.2 ports so supports enterprise level SSD's and NVME's and supports ECC RAM without jumping through hoops. This thing is built to be in use under heavy load 24/7 365 days a year . So no, you're not getting this PC for 100€. You're looking at it like a gaming board and not like industrial equipment. PS this board is still available new and costs upwards of $500usd
Sooo the only thing kept was the cpu, ssd sata drive and ram. Imagine swapping out a 850 watt power supply for a 600w 😂, great way of limiting upgrade options
