How to upgrade a DELL Dimension E510 PC
Ok, so you’ve got an older DELL computer with Windows XP, a Pentium D HT processor, 1GB of RAM, two WD 320GB SATA Drives, an IDE DVD player and a Radeon HD 6670 graphics card.
You want to upgrade it, here’s how!
The PC:
First, open the case and remove the WD 320GB SATA Drives and the graphics card. Carefully place them in a box, you might need them for another computer. Oh, and take the nice SATA cables, their blue, a rather nice color. Put the case back together.
Tools needed:
A Colt 45. This one is a military issue, holding 7 rounds. Other similar tools can be substituted.
Ammunition. Preferably hollow-point. 12 or more rounds recommended.
How to upgrade:
Place the E510 on a stable surface, preferably out in the open, away from people, cars, animals and manmade structures.
Load the tool with ammunition. Aim and fire at will. Results are impressive. The computer moved a little. Although it doesn’t seem any faster, you’ll find it has a whole new look and feel to it. Quite satisfying!
Results:
A look from the side facing the upgrade tool:
A look from the side facing away from the upgrade tool (notice the holes are bigger):
A look inside to see the “upgrade pathways”:
Last step: Go to a Microcenter, or online and purchase components to build your own computer. Use the 320GB drives to store images of your new OS. Re-use the graphic card if you only play shitty low-res games.
Conclusion: 9/10
Pros: Fun
Cons: No dynamite or C4
Good luck and be safe.
