Speaking of terrible cases, lgr posted a new video trying to fix a 2000 era PC. It goes as well as expected.

haha this was my main PC from like 2002 through 2009, kept alive with RAM and GPU upgrades but featuring a P4 2.4GHz til the end. gently caress those lovely cases. dimension 2xxx/3xxx models blew cock

and guess what? some models didn't have that panel that swung up. you literally had to get on your knees and look under the loving thing to see what you were doing
haha i did the same thing with my college girlfriend. went from a 1.3 something P4 to a to a 2.4Ghz and nearly trippled the ram and added a DVD drive. good poo poo.
