About

Welcome to my channel, ctrl-alt-rees! I'm Rees, a British retro enthusiast and collector of 20+ years. I restore, repair, upgrade, modify and maintain all of retro computers and consoles in my collection myself and I'm keen to share not only the process but the end results. I also do a bit of retro game collecting on the side as well as putting out the odd educational or computer history video, as well as electronics tutorials and reviews of gadgets and retrospectives of my favourite retro games. If you're interested in learning more about computer and gaming history and how to really get the most out of your retro systems why not give my channel a subscribe? I'm currently aiming to release one video per week covering whatever I'm currently tinkering with. I also have a website over at https://ctrl-alt-rees.com.

Video Description

If you enjoyed this video please consider subscribing! It really helps the channel out. ☝️😁 I bought this weird desk PC from a community centre that was about to be demolished. So lets fix some bad capacitors, change the optical drive, put some nice quiet fans in it, and finally crack the Windows 2000 login passwords to see how it was originally set up!
