If you want to see we clean the rest of the system, go watch the follow up here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdeAgbtinNKZfKs.html

That PSU is defo worth saving since it's a rebranded high end seasonic and based on the other parts of that system it's barely been used.

I dont understand how people leave their PCs more dirty than Dawids innuendos.

I saw you put the freshly rebuilt computer on the table and thought "Damn, that case looks so much better now that it's cleaned up". Took me a sec to realize that wasn't the original case. 😂

"I Clean The WORST Craigslist PC I Could Find By Blowing Dust off of it and Replacing Half the PC"

I'm getting a bit suspicious about Dawid being sponsored by vileda

Dawid in the thumbnail looks like he is holding his first child

Here's a better title: I buy a dusty PC from Craigslist, dust off half the components, and then replace the other half with brand new ones because I'm too lazy to clean the rest If you wanna watch proper restoration videos, look up Designs By IFR and his buying a broken PC series.

A shame you didn't test the computer before the cleaning. Could have been fun to see the comparison🤔 Still another great video though🙂

I've bought craigslist PCs like this before, and my solution was to go outside with a large air compressor and just blast the hell out of it. The can air dusters just can't do it. It's actually very satisfying seeing giant clouds of human filth shoot off when using the heavy duty air blaster. Wear a respirator. After, it only needs a tiny bit of touch up.

I loved this one, Dawid! I'm glad you gave Greg Salazar his proper, too. I feel a little disappointed that you didn't keep the case, aio and psu for three final rebuild. I'd love to clean and reuse that PSU-- please don't throw it away!

You can use a soft bristle flat brush usually used for painting when removing dust. It saves having to use canned compress air and electronics contact cleaner all the time, which is easier on the wallet. I have several I use for cleaning my pc components. A 1 inch, 2 inch and 4 inch flat brush are my weapons of choice.

I was hoping to see that case all cleaned up and looking good but still a cool video

Plot twist: the real sponsor of this video is not Manscaped but Vileda

You made a PC cleaning video but just didn't clean most of the parts. Lack of time? Then don't make this video! Pretty disappointed in the lack of commitment despite you knowing what you signed up for.

replaced nearly everything, not even put it back in the same case. More of a scavenging than a cleaning.

Other creators will roast your setup pics, Dawid will literally buy your computer just to roast it inch by inch. This man is the legend, please keep doing this.

That was gnarly! I don't know how someone's pc can actually get that dirty with just dust alone. That thing must have been running non stop for years without filtration and on a dirty ass carpet.

He protecc, he attacc, but most importantly... he got his vileda gloves

Dawid’s fear and respect for that spider corpse is both highly entertaining and kinda sweet.

Wow, Impressive how the case cleaned up so well it looked like a completely different one. 🙂

Two things: 1. For the AIO Rad you could use a small vacuum cleaner (like a Dust Devil) to suck most of the dirt out from between the fins. Then a quick rinse and most (of not all) of the dirt should be gone...just make sure to let it sit dry for a while. 2. Similarly for the power supply: use the vacuum to get as much of the dust off it without opening it. Then find a shop that can safely drain the capacitors and proceed to clean and re-assemble it.

5:40 I must tell you... Spiders shed their skin, just like snakes. That is not the corpse of the spider, but the old skin. That means it is growing.... hahahahahaha (evil laugh)

Greg Salazar would have been proud to get this PC for his deep clean series

Dawid, I noticed you are still using canned air as your method of cleaning pc parts. As there isn't anything wrong with that, I highly recommend investing in a multi-use electric air duster. I purchased one online from walmart for $50 and it's definitely worth it for as much money I spent on canned air. Plus, you don't have to wait for the can to re-pressurize itself when you need it again :)

Tip for you if your AIO looks like that first step is to use a vacuum it will make it like new really quickly.

So I uncovered a really old PC in my basement a few days ago and decided to clean it. I didn't do Dawids method and properly clean it, oh no. Leaf blower. That dust flying out was so unbelievably satisfying. I did it outside people. Don't worry.

For the power supply you can blow it out with an electric leaf blower. I've been using one for years to clean out my systems. It does a great job

Video should have been "I just replace the dirty stuff" ! I love your vids but this one needed another day or so in the oven to actually clean the PC.

The "corpse" of the spider was actually just a shed spider skin. When you see the feet together like that, it's where the spider had to shed it's old exoskeleton in order to grow bigger.

The spider you inherited is probably a common house spider. You don't have to worry you will probably eat it tonight. Sleep tight

That looked like a spider exoskeleton to me-i.e., the spider shed its skin at some point. It was more likely to have left the case months or even years ago, rather than specifically after you brought it to your office, though.

I LOVE the video and the results, but your concept of "salvage" is totally off. You basically took a dirty, but well specced PC and moved the minimal core components to a new case and then added some completely different parts from your personal stash. You basically did a PC make-over with arguably worse accessories than it came with. The definition of salvage is literally "to rescue or save", with you did not do here. Not even close. Salvaging a PC would be to reuse all the existing hardware and make the best situation out of ALL the components (unless broken). Basically to physically clean the parts, re-route the cables, tune for performance, and do a before/after comparison and benchmark. THAT would be a true "salvage" and would be much more interesting than watching you waste time cleaning parts that you decide last minute to not even use (case, PSU, storage, AIO) and then do light testing.

I'd love to see this video conclude with as many original components as possible after a thorough cleaning, though!

The spider got eaten by a bigger spider and now you've unleashed it.. run away! do it now! Lmao

Just a heads up, that spider corpse may not actually be a corpse, just a molt. As spiders grow, they need to shed their exoskeleton since it doesn't grow with them. So you may still have a spider friend wandering around

What. You threw away perfectly working parts. That was pretty much half the pc.

It's always a good day when Dawid uploads

The problem for Fred, the spider, yes I named him, is that all those webs were a residue of him desperately trying to find prey... but the only prey available were in Doom Eternal. And thus, poor Fred, died of starvation due to poor web management skills.

So some of you might not be reading the title, but he SALVAGED this build. He trashed the shit components and replaced them with better ones. Don't get all butt hurt y'all, this video was great!

It was an awesome video, just please don’t cheat, stay with the original parts. I know it involves a lot more cleaning, but a vacuum cleaner and a soft paint brush can help a lot.

Hey Dawid, just imagine cleaning vintage AT power supplies!! You will cringe when you hear how I do it!! First you need to get a toothbrush, a scrub brush with stiff bristles, a bottle of Dawn Platinum PowerWash, a spray bottle with a minimum of 90 percent IPA, an air compressor with air hose and air gun, and a sink. First you disassemble the power supply, remove the pcb from the case and power connections. Then you take your Dawn PowerWash and you spray everything down at least a couple of times over 5 to 10 minutes. You take your brushes and clean gently as much as you possibly can, and gently clean the fan blades. Once done scrubbing, you take everything and rinse it out in the sink thoroughly. When done rinsing, take your blow gun, and blow down everything as gently as possible so you don't damage any components. Then take your spray bottle with IPA and rinse everything down, take your stiff brush and scrub the solder joints on the bottom of the power supply to remove any corrosion and flux that may be present. Rinse again with the IPA, then dry it off with the air compressor and blow gun. When everything is dry, spray it down again with the IPA, the idea is to remove all the water, as the IPA will aid in soaking up the water, and you are drying it off with compressed air. Then you reassemble the power supply, and let it sit for 30 minutes to an hour. When done, it will be like new clean; and it WILL work afterwards as I have done this many times over!!

Greg Salazar: "Today I am going to deepclean an old CoolerMaster PC ca--". Dawid: "MOVE ASIDE, GREG."

Why on earth did the guy who built this buy a 1050 watt PSU to power a 4670k and gtx 1060?! Dude must have powered his microwave from his PC. Absolute mad lad.

5:50 "altough it had a really nice home for itself" dude, the system was literally conected to the world wide web, you say that's big? Lan is not big at all!

4:24 you got me at "volcano eruption debris" , haahahahaha xD

That PC is a confirmed wildlife sanctuary, and littering anywhere near it incurs a $1,000 fine.

Send this PC to Greg Salazar for deep cleaning in exchange for a faulty memory channel ryzen 5 3600.

As a PC technician working for 5 years.This PC is clean as hell bro.

Once you have ALL the electronics, cables and fans removed from the case, take the case pieces to the local DIY car wash and spray mightily for 10 minutes and rinse for 5 minutes. As clean as it will ever be again. Sit in sunny location for several hours with a box fan blowing on it to dry.

5:49 no spider was harmed during the making of Dawid Does Tech Stuff... that "spider" you see, I think is it's shed skin!

5:51 Not to worry you in any way, but I don't believe these are the mortal remains of PC Spider. I think that's just a cast of exoskeleton. That's right, Dawid. It's not dead... (ominous chord plays) ... it's *growing bigger*.

You should have used a vacuum on that AIO, or at least dry brushed it to remove the majority of it. Generally you should only use liquids on dust on smooth surfaces. Would have liked to see all the components reused and before and after tests.

The fact that there was a spider living inside of the PC... Lmao

Once serviced a guy's pc that was on the floor or a converted barn behind a pile of old newspapers; in it I found multiple spiders, a mouse nest with several crispy dry baby mice and a mummified frog...

A rechargeable electric duster is pretty useful. It doesn't lose compression during use. Liked the video, Dawid!

Like Greg's video's, but with better 80s synth music.

That's not a dead spider, that's a spider moult! So you have a bigger spider on the loose somewhere 😂😂

Actually spiders shed their exoskeleton as they grow. You likely have the life spider around. Assuming it survived 😂

Please do a follow up with all the unused parts along with some eBay or AliExpress junk to make another build!

Damn it would've been great if you had tested it prior to cleaning and changed nothing other than the cleanliness to see how big of a difference it made!

Don't worry. That's just the spiders shredded exoskeleton. It's no doubt alive and well in the house somewhere bigger and stronger than ever

Lol, this man doesn’t understand that spiders molt. He found the spider’s old skin. He’s only become bigger now

This is just as satisfying as watching someone restore old tools , I hope you do this more often!

"Man juice stains" 🤣 nice one Dawid

Remember… that’s the clean version of that case. Was likely sitting in storage with literal dust piling up on it.

DAWID!!! Don't disassemble before cleaning! For years, and on hundreds of machines, I've used an electric leaf blower to clean before I do ANY disassembly. I know it sounds crazy, but it works SO WELL. I wouldn't have ANY qualms using that PSU after blowing it out with my leaf blower. If nothing else, it'd make a great video for you. Just go for it- NO FEAR! ;)

For most of my cleaning i use a dyson with a bristle nozzle. Especially helpful with those pesky fan blades.

That 4690k should reach 4.4-4.6GHz easily, I remember OC'ing easily a 4670k to those figures without sweating too much on a big tower air cooler.

A few tips from a restorer of 40-50 year old Arcade machines. They have more dust and dirt than you can imagine. 1: Get some large and small soft bristle paint brushes. They work miracles as "dusters" 2: Get a small air compressor with an air blow nozzle. Stop wasting $6 on each can of compressed air. And the compressor makes short work of the dust. 3: All electronics can be "washed". Remove all plug in components. Spray on Simple Green or another cleaner. Use your soft bristle paint brushes and softly brush off the dirt and grime. Rinse with a soft flow of water. Use your air compressor to blow off most of the water. Leave in the sunlight in a window for a few hours and then leave it to dry out for a few days. Looks brand new and will not hurt anything.

Can we just call this now? Dawid is the doctor 'Frankensteen' of the tech youtubers. Dawid, you want to have a crack at my old intel build?

I'm starting to wonder if Dawid wears those gloves for his "alone time."

Dawid, you are one funny dude. I always love your vid's. You uplift me no matter how my day has been, you are the master of cool speech. I don't know whether you spend 5 hours rehearsing, but man, you make listening to you very enjoyable. You have a way with words. You, could leave your day job and become a comedian, you deliver straight-faced lines so well. Keep up the excellent work and humour. All the best.

Spiders shed their exoskeletons to grow, so that is probably it, not the spider corpse.

Surprised Greg Salazar isn’t out for blood after you uploaded this

We need benchmarks comparing this used PC to some of those prebuilts and other machines you've got lying around. I need perspective about how terrible the game experience is on a 4 something series chip as opposed to a 10 or 11 series.

Always satisfying and somehow sickening to see a PC cleaning video. You and the SStudio dude never fail to deliver great content!

For a second, I thought someone stole my PC and put it on Craigslist. I see that PC condition as "regular" myself!

Dawid, the GT710 has a more stunted brother, the GT705; pleaseeee do a video comparing them. I've had similar computers from eBay, and to be honest, in the interest of time and my own health I've binned most of the components on the spot, so don't listen to these people who don't understand that this is literally your job and you don't have 12 hours a day to dust a case lol

It amazes me that humans can have such low hygiejne....that pc case is revolting

Hello. I love your vids

Sorry to tell you this Dawid but that corpse looks more like a molt which basically means the spider is living nice and healthy in your house

When Dawid was opening the top panel on the case, it looked like he was hesitantly giving it a prostate exam!

Yes to Dawid cleaning montage No to replacing 90% of the bits of the PC we actually see!

One hint: get a proper vacuum cleaner with a good EPA filter and some soft brushes and forget the nasty compressed air floating stuff. I don't understand how people uses compressed air to move the dust elsewhere in your room instead of effectively taking care of it

You should invest in a DataVac, then you don't have to deal with canned air. Just take the PC outside, wear a N95 mask, and blow the heck out of it with a DataVac first. You can also use like makeup brushes to get the caked on dust off of various surfaces, then go over the remainder with rubbing alcohol and Q-tips.

You essentially built another computer, and chucked a 1G supply, couldn't you hear the cries of NOOOOO!!! BAIT AND SWITCH! still enjoyed tho.

Getting dust off of fans is not difficult when you use an air compressor at 100 PSI. Just hold them still before the air touches it so you don't risk damaging them... then you can manually clean the areas that are still dirty.

Is someone going to tell Dawid that the spider corpse is not actually a corpse, but the exoskeleton they leave when they grow bigger?

Thanks for saying your name so I no longer feel both pretentious AND ignorant for thinking I know how to say it. Still, knowing my PC will never look that bad is probably redeeming enough for both scenarios

I can't even find an old used pc for under 200. I just want something cheap to work on for my first pc, so when I mess it up, it isn't much of a loss.

The spooder did his best to try and help cable manage, but he didn't make it.

Not a spiderweb, it's a dust web - I worked in a PC repair shop for 13 years - that system is positively clean compared to some of the stuff that came through the door!

Very late, but there is a good way to clean those all in one coolers, have the pump hanging out of your sink and use your thumb to cover the head of the tap so it is a pressurized spray of water and wiggle your thumb around to clean across the radiator. Cleaned my absolutely gunked up H100 while I was topping off the liquid inside. Works great. Just shake it dry and let it sit on paper towel over night.

you should just use a vacuum with a small brush attachment on the AIO radiator. No components to risk damaging with static. In fact, you might want to invest in some anti-static brushes for cleaning stuff.

You forgot to mentiion the rusty screws , maybe the PC was in a basement (fits to the spider) ... are you afraid of spiders? ... See it positive , the spider catches some pests ....

People always do so dramatic about cleaning power supplies. But you'll be fine as long as you leave the PCB in place so that the underside is not exposed. You could just use canned air to blow the dust out and clean the fan.

Be careful with that canned duster stuff, the chemicals it puts out can affect you momentarily so use it in a well ventilated area, it is also flammable. If you find yourself using the stuff somewhat often I would recommend investing in the corded electric stuff.

Videos like this should have a warning in the title like, "Don't watch while eating..." my appetite is ruined!
