Restoring an HP Pavilion a706n
9Back in the video where I made a pre-built Lenovo desktop into an XP gaming PC, I mentioned starting work on a completely different computer from the Windows XP era. I also mentioned how I didn't do my homework on that computer before I blindly took on the project.
But now is the time for this computer to shine! This HP Pavilion a706n desktop was on its way to being e-cycled, but I jumped in to give this (admittedly average) desktop a second lease on life. While not as powerful as I was hoping when I first took on the project, it'll have enough power to handle games from the late '90s.
I hope to feature this PC more on the channel for PC games that can run on Windows 98, 2000, Me, and (some) XP.
