00:00:01.599 --> 00:00:08.240
what is this it's got speakers in the

00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:11.120
ears like the happiest monitor on earth

00:00:08.240 --> 00:00:15.519
this is an actual disney product a little while back i put out a cash

00:00:13.040 --> 00:00:20.000
bounty on some pcs from the late 90s with hot wheels or barbie branding and

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.720
we actually did get our hands on one and had a ton of fun with it

00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:29.519
and then one thing led to another and we ended up here thanks to one of our

00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:34.719
viewers and my now considerably lighter wallet i am delighted to have my hands

00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:39.840
on another kid-themed family pc from my childhood meet the disney dream desk pc

00:00:37.680 --> 00:00:43.600
and the original accessories that came with it it's full of fun and magic for

00:00:42.079 --> 00:00:46.800
the whole family ridge wallet is celebrating the 8th

00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:52.000
anniversary of their successful kickstarter campaign and launch of

00:00:48.760 --> 00:00:53.920
ridgewallet.com so get 15 off site-wide

00:00:52.000 --> 00:00:56.920
at ridgewallet.com Linus

00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:10.000
the system was released in 2004 exclusively through now defunct

00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:13.600
electronics retailer comp usa with the tower itself retailing for 5.99

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:18.640
and the monitor running you an additional 299. there was also a pretty

00:01:16.080 --> 00:01:22.080
compelling bundle with a printer stylus and game controller that could be tacked

00:01:20.400 --> 00:01:25.680
on for 50 bucks as long as they were purchased with the

00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:31.280
rest of the system like with the hot wheels pc this product had a narrow

00:01:28.720 --> 00:01:36.159
target market at best because although home pcs were certainly widespread by

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:39.680
the early to mid 2000s families still typically had just one computer to share

00:01:38.960 --> 00:01:44.880
so unless mom or dad was an avid fantasia

00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:49.040
fan or something it was a pretty tough sell disney's

00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:53.439
president said it himself with the launch of the disney dream desk a

00:01:51.119 --> 00:01:59.680
computer designed with kids in mind we've developed a toolbox for children

00:01:55.759 --> 00:02:01.119
to unleash their imaginations and expand

00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:05.280
their minds some big brain

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.039
mind expansion certainly took place designing this mouse i can tell you

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:13.760
ladies and gentlemen that much that is not

00:02:10.239 --> 00:02:13.760
no that is not ergonomic

00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:20.879
how's the stylus pen going here there we go oh

00:02:17.440 --> 00:02:24.160
wow got my game controller definitely

00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:26.560
very kid-sized game controller here this

00:02:24.160 --> 00:02:30.400
thing's a chungus this is too big for media i'm an adult

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:34.080
the one thing we're missing is that there was a rear cover for cable

00:02:32.239 --> 00:02:40.160
management and unfortunately we don't have that also our door for the front i

00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:45.519
o is taped on and this is all glued together but but it's mostly complete

00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.920
they still have this lexmark printer

00:02:45.519 --> 00:02:54.560
from 2004 in matching blue color scheme

00:02:49.920 --> 00:02:56.959
that's right brandon we got one the z618

00:02:54.560 --> 00:03:01.040
now it's time to open it up and see what we've got here now

00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.920
our unit had a pretty rough time in shipping it's a little warped but it's

00:03:03.920 --> 00:03:10.480
functional enough for us to do a quick little tear down here now the feet are

00:03:08.239 --> 00:03:14.480
actually built into the side panels our front

00:03:11.519 --> 00:03:14.480
piece came off

00:03:14.720 --> 00:03:20.640
so you can see if you take off one side panel it sits a little crooked so we're gonna

00:03:19.120 --> 00:03:23.599
go ahead and pop the other panel off as well okay

00:03:22.480 --> 00:03:27.920
there we go got that mickey ventilation you know

00:03:26.080 --> 00:03:31.040
this no mickey mouse cooling solution okay

00:03:29.440 --> 00:03:36.159
let's get a look at that front i o you got uh that usb universal serial bus

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.920
right there microphone headphone jack look at that got it

00:03:37.920 --> 00:03:44.640
i'm i'm actually kind of wondering if that writer was added later that's a dvd

00:03:42.959 --> 00:03:50.239
writer yeah i know this was manufactured in february 2010. they upgraded this

00:03:47.920 --> 00:03:56.480
they were still using this thing in 2010 at least that is a weird power

00:03:54.080 --> 00:04:01.840
supply so you got a 92 millimeter fan that draws air in from the pretty robust

00:03:59.360 --> 00:04:08.239
mickey mouse ventilation system then it's blowing air out back into the

00:04:05.519 --> 00:04:14.319
computer that's a little weird and then also out the back in what looks like

00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:18.239
that's a very unusual form factor it's actually kind of a similar layout to

00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:21.919
some modern cases like from Corsair you know those double wide ones where all

00:04:19.600 --> 00:04:26.400
your storage and power is over on one side and you've got like isolated uh

00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:30.400
cooling chambers but then with only a standard width to work with it's made by

00:04:28.639 --> 00:04:34.240
fsp so it doesn't surprise me that much that it's lasted this long one thing

00:04:32.160 --> 00:04:38.080
that didn't last was the brackets that held on the original cooler so this was

00:04:36.400 --> 00:04:42.880
pretty common at the time this was like a p4 style

00:04:40.320 --> 00:04:47.280
side panel scoop so you'd pull fresh air directly from outside because you're a

00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:52.479
bonehead and you designed your system to exhaust power supply air into the

00:04:49.919 --> 00:04:57.120
interior of the case and this is a 478 motherboard so socket 478 actually had

00:04:54.720 --> 00:05:02.160
these plastic things that came up around the socket unfortunately they snapped

00:04:59.280 --> 00:05:05.360
off in shipping so we just grabbed a star tech

00:05:03.440 --> 00:05:10.479
cooler and put some zip ties on it in order to fire this thing up for you guys

00:05:07.840 --> 00:05:14.880
RAM is another thing that appears to have been upgraded after the fact

00:05:13.039 --> 00:05:22.720
wow so they had 256 they added another 256

00:05:19.440 --> 00:05:24.720
now operating in dual channel mode

00:05:22.720 --> 00:05:27.440
and then they added another 512 so they could have more memory i got to confess

00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:33.440
i am not sure who made this motherboard

00:05:30.400 --> 00:05:35.600
it's got kind of an MSI vibe to it but

00:05:33.440 --> 00:05:40.479
then it's also got whatever this logo is fi okay so it's made by fic i mean they

00:05:38.800 --> 00:05:44.960
managed to use capacitors that haven't leaked after all this time so that's

00:05:42.160 --> 00:05:52.479
pretty sweet this is a classic 20 pin atx connector agp graphics weight was

00:05:49.039 --> 00:05:55.840
agp current in 2004

00:05:52.479 --> 00:05:57.520
yeah agp was still a thing dang really

00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.560
other than the unusual power supply and motherboard though this is bog standard

00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:08.800
commodity oh sorry excuse me top quality components such as the genuine Intel

00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:11.840
celeron d processor 330 which delivers

00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.080
proven Intel technology at a great value

00:06:11.840 --> 00:06:20.080
and three-dimensional graphics acceleration and platform technology by

00:06:17.039 --> 00:06:22.639
ati technologies inc so in other words

00:06:20.080 --> 00:06:27.120
it's got a Radeon 9100 integrated graphics card and a CPU that was already

00:06:25.919 --> 00:06:34.800
e-waste when it rolled off the production line in spite of these low-end specs and mid-range price though

00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:37.919
a disney rep insisted that the machine's

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:39.840
enhanced gaming abilities and incredible

00:06:37.919 --> 00:06:45.280
unmatched free software made it a compelling value it uh

00:06:42.639 --> 00:06:49.199
probably didn't i'd give them a b minus for cable management you gotta remember

00:06:47.120 --> 00:06:53.120
back in those days it was a lot harder i mean the concept of putting the CPU

00:06:51.280 --> 00:06:56.319
power connector along the edge of the board hadn't really been introduced yet

00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:59.680
so you had to run this poor thing to the center of the board for all we know the

00:06:57.840 --> 00:07:03.680
owner kind of screwed some of it up when they did their memory upgrade oh i

00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:07.440
almost didn't even look at storage 40 gigabytes

00:07:04.960 --> 00:07:10.960
look look it's a mickey mouse power cord mickey mouse power cord nobody laughs at

00:07:09.199 --> 00:07:16.880
my jokes i'm i'm hyper focused on the important

00:07:12.960 --> 00:07:16.880
act of plugging things in mr Linus

00:07:18.240 --> 00:07:24.080
yeah well clearly i didn't pay you enough to get a cable for the printer

00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:27.520
that obviously we need to make sure works because it's there's no power

00:07:25.919 --> 00:07:33.039
supply in it well that's okay you know what it still

00:07:30.000 --> 00:07:35.120
completes the experience for me so

00:07:33.039 --> 00:07:40.560
yay okay our zoomer new writer is like so i

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:46.080
had a hard time getting any audio work can't go did you plug in an audio cable

00:07:43.680 --> 00:07:50.560
this don't carry no audio these young kids today brandon that's actually

00:07:48.400 --> 00:07:56.560
pretty cool it has a laid up disney logo at the top and then it has its own like

00:07:52.479 --> 00:07:56.560
disney mickey mouse splash

00:07:56.840 --> 00:08:02.639
screen there not a surface for this to

00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:06.800
you just kind of wing-weighing it oh man how i've missed that welcome screen

00:08:05.440 --> 00:08:10.240
this is very time capsule-y feeling i mean even

00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:16.000
down to enthusiast programs like core temp

00:08:13.039 --> 00:08:21.840
remember core temp a half expect to find speed fan on here hold on i gotta search

00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.080
using the search here you know i was

00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:29.280
knocking it before but this mouse is actually surprisingly usable with that

00:08:26.319 --> 00:08:33.760
claw grip it's a gaming mouse for gamers now obviously disney had no first-hand

00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:37.760
experience building computers so like many brand owners they enlisted a

00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:40.399
company called frog design to design this whole system and then for

00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:44.240
manufacturing they partnered with medion a german

00:08:42.560 --> 00:08:48.560
company that specialized in private label systems which was later acquired

00:08:46.000 --> 00:08:52.560
by lenovo in 2011. now one of their selling points on their post was that

00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:57.920
the system had an ergonomically designed kid-sized mouse although as we talked

00:08:55.120 --> 00:09:02.959
about earlier in practice the ergonomics are questionable at best it's definitely

00:09:00.640 --> 00:09:06.800
kid size though just like our mini CPU pillow from lttstore.com so cute

00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:10.959
but while the hardware selling points fall

00:09:08.880 --> 00:09:15.440
apart under even moderate scrutiny there's still room for the software to

00:09:12.959 --> 00:09:20.480
impress us it comes then with a suite of protection tools for blocking spam sites

00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:26.000
and emails via content watch which means that parents will enjoy peace of mind

00:09:23.519 --> 00:09:30.000
boring by the way no amount of internet protection makes browsing with an xp

00:09:27.760 --> 00:09:33.760
machine a good idea these days besides you know that any kid asking for one of

00:09:31.760 --> 00:09:38.320
these for christmas only cared about the games disney's extremely goofy

00:09:35.760 --> 00:09:41.519
skateboarding loading look at these these are real

00:09:39.839 --> 00:09:46.480
three-dimensional graphics they truly are wait i don't have any audio why do i

00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:51.640
have any audio look at that you got built-in media

00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:51.640
controls baby

00:09:51.839 --> 00:09:58.240
i can't believe i didn't take a closer look at this thing disney.com of course

00:09:56.080 --> 00:10:01.440
you need a dedicated button for that and parental control button thanks a lot

00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.600
disney eject oh it works

00:10:04.640 --> 00:10:10.720
oh i oh is it done now

00:10:08.480 --> 00:10:10.720
nope

00:10:11.519 --> 00:10:16.640
choose what type of game you want to play

00:10:15.120 --> 00:10:22.320
i think we're gonna have to go for a shred session

00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:22.320
oh that's looking pretty good

00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:30.160
okay here we go okay

00:10:28.800 --> 00:10:34.240
you know i got to give credit for the quality of the sound effects like those

00:10:32.240 --> 00:10:39.680
are some legit sounding skateboarding sounds oh oh i gotta grind this oh

00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:44.839
he's okay okay um going in the skate park pipe

00:10:43.120 --> 00:10:49.760
okay i did a kickflip great thing about goofy being

00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:53.680
my character is that he looks exactly as awkward as i feel playing this game i

00:10:51.839 --> 00:10:58.000
mean it's no tony hawk pro skater you know but what is

00:10:55.680 --> 00:11:01.839
oh no uh

00:10:58.880 --> 00:11:01.839
okay

00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.399
i don't know if i'm convinced about the educational value here

00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:29.440
what's definitely educational though is disney's adventures in typing with timon

00:11:27.200 --> 00:11:32.640
and pumbaa wow you can tell that game title went through four different

00:11:31.040 --> 00:11:35.120
corporate product titling committees for approval let's see if this one's any

00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:40.000
good i am Linus i actually have no idea what's going on

00:11:38.240 --> 00:11:44.079
right now am i supposed to bop them or something we gotta find us some real

00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.920
food around here that's great they pulled these sound bites straight out of

00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:51.360
the movie i'm gonna slay this thing

00:11:53.920 --> 00:11:59.360
there's no penalty for missing so you can kind of game this one

00:12:02.320 --> 00:12:05.360
oh it does record the misses

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:10.639
my accuracy is five percent

00:12:08.959 --> 00:12:15.120
well that's a shame can you okay can you quit the lesson can

00:12:12.560 --> 00:12:18.880
you okay next lesson no that's lesson one

00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:22.880
see you later the disney themed madjong game has unfortunately been removed

00:12:21.120 --> 00:12:30.240
anyway who wants madjong when you've got a 14-day free membership to toontown

00:12:27.120 --> 00:12:31.839
online unfortunately we definitely can't

00:12:30.240 --> 00:12:38.079
test that one since the service was discontinued in september of 2013.

00:12:35.040 --> 00:12:40.240
is what i would say if a fan community

00:12:38.079 --> 00:12:44.800
hadn't reanimated its corpse with a downloadable launcher and community run

00:12:42.800 --> 00:12:49.839
servers now we have no idea if this thing is safe to install or use and our

00:12:47.760 --> 00:12:54.480
antivirus at the office was not very happy about it but just for you guys we

00:12:52.000 --> 00:12:59.680
got some footage of it anyway it's in a nutshell an mmo built for people of all

00:12:56.959 --> 00:13:04.079
ages where you create a character and then roam around collecting gags to

00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:09.279
defeat cogs which are basically the big scary

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:11.920
corporate people who are trying to take over toontown

00:13:10.880 --> 00:13:17.839
it is in a word shockingly active for an mmo that came

00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:22.160
out almost 20 years ago it's more than one word but that's okay because we have

00:13:20.959 --> 00:13:27.360
another fun thing to try out

00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:31.920
disney also emphasized the value of some non-gaming software they included on the

00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:36.079
system disney flicks disney pix and disney mix which were aimed at letting

00:13:33.920 --> 00:13:39.760

the child seal of approval not for its cold unfeeling plastic and metal heart

but for its cartoon soul i mean yeah even for its time the specs were not

00:16:24.240 --> 00:16:29.839
particularly impressive but it certainly

00:16:27.360 --> 00:16:34.320
had its charms and when you consider the software package the value was pretty

00:16:32.560 --> 00:16:38.000
