Saved from the Dumpster, this case might still have a bit of life to put in it.

Quick lil update on my dell dimension sleeper

Temps don’t go above 65c when stressed

Noise is a problem but are low pitched enough and just barely quiet enough that games drown it out

I learned that enabling resizable bar(yes I had it disabled and Dw above 4g decoding is on) just makes the bios not see my n me boot drive and I would have to reset the bios to get it back.

Customer fan curve for “quieter” operation

That’s all

To the dude who said to use it as a retro pc I am so sorry I forgot to check my account this morning and built this sleeper pc.

Here’s the specs if anyone wants it

Case:dell dimension 2400

CPU:Ryzen 5 5600

Gpu: asrock radoen Rx 6600

Ram: 16 gb ddr4

Motherboard:gigabyte b450m ds3h

Psu: corsair cx750 watt non modular

DVD drive is the one that came with the pc originally (gonna swap that out with a sata one to use)

CPU cooler is just some random one I picked up at a flea market for 5 bucks (any dual tower 120mm fan based one is a good substitute)

Temps don’t go above 65c under stress for both cpu and gpu

Front usb works but not audio since it’s a weird connector only dells uses I believe

Back fan is some 80mm noctua fan I zip tied

Front fan is a 120mm noctua fan (also zip tied)

Note for the motherboard I used there’s only 1 extra fan header besides the cpu so you need a pwn fan splitter for more than 1 fan

That’s enough ranting hope everyone who reads this finds it cool and has a nice day. :)

P.S no tools needed beside a Phillips head screwdriver and no external mods needed for parts to fit

Got a dell dimension 2400 in working condition. Should I keep is as a retro windows xp pc or strip it, and use the case for a sleeper build ?(internals will be used at a later date)
