You should try making a computer build using completely 'generic' parts. Ebay has some really cheap and questionable literal no-name branded PSUs available, and you can find some very strange chinese branded motherboards on aliexpress for cheap. You can also find some older cpus and strange cases for a pretty decent price there too.

Oh, and by the way... I'm looking forward to the video if you get around to doing it! Cheers, Ozi. P.S., you should check sites like gearbest or banggood for the case. They're a lot cheaper and usually come with free shipping. Have you ever heard of a Segotep case? I haven't.

[@theobviousvoid5645]

don't forget ali express probably has a bunch as well

[@JamesSmith-dn8lb]

Building a dirt cheap PC is alot of fun. I recently built one for less than $40 dollars. I got some parts for free from friends/family. It's got an e8600 cpu, 400w psu, 6gb ram, AMD 6870 GPU, and a 320gb 5400rpm laptop HD. I can play most older games at decent fps and good settings. And some newer games are playable too.

[@NickChapmanThe]

Yes! I have a case fan zip-tied to my Radeon HD 7790 after the bundled one stopped working and replacing it was $30 or something excessive. It ran for a month before I noticed...and somehow didn't die. When I turned active cooling back on, my CPU again became the usual bottleneck until I recently transitioned the 7790 into my new Ryzen 5 1600 build! Another fun watch!

[@electriccomics]

I built a used parts PC recently, Core 2 Quad Q9500 (2.8gHz) 8gb ddr2, evga GT 740 SSC 4gb. It does pretty well! I get a solid 60 fps on overwatch on customized high with some things set to low and others very high. I call it my "2009+" build. The + being for the "new"(er) graphics card. This system probably wouldn't have been practical to build from ebay, but I already had the card and I got the psu, mobo, cpu, and ram all from a friend for just $24, and an old dell case to throw it in for free from another friend.

[@kushwahaSaurabh]

CONGRATS FOR 100K, WELL DESERVED

[@jimmyboy131]

The cheapest computer I have owned was a Pentium II machine I got in the early 2000's, from a surplus outlet, for I think it was 25 bucks. With a then-modern video card, it ran newish titles OK back then, so I was happy with it. My machine today, which I've just about completed upgrading, is about 12 years old (I've had it for that long). It's a socket 775 Asus P5WDG2 WS Pro (with a modified BIOS), with an Intel QX9650, with a GTX 750 Ti SC, and 8GB of PC8500 RAM. I am upgrading it from XP to Win7. Haven't actually gamed with it yet but it boots up and runs just fine with internet surfing and things like that. Once I get it reformatted with Win7, I'll see how it actually games with more modern titles.

[@PalofGrrr]

My hat is off to you sir the use of tie ties was pure genius

[@NotSoCrazyNinja]

Oh god, flashbacks of that "one time" a buddy and I pieced together a computer using various remnants of computers spanning several years. Industrial strength velcro, metal tape, and a lot of fiddling. It worked, and it worked great for what it was (an essentially free computer). I just did a quick check over eBay and surprised at all the available parts that are pretty cheap now. I'll have to keep this in mind because before the year is up, I will probably be building me a "budget gaming computer". I'd prefer to spend less than $50 on it but may go as high as $100. I don't have much interest in modern games, I just want a computer to play around with. My current computer is an off-lease business desktop that has plenty of power, but it's getting old and gaming is just not a thing it does well. If I beefed up the power supply and found just the right low-profile graphics card and upped the ram to 16GB (max supported), it might be worth it. I'll have to investigate that.

[@xhgaerlan]

I once got a $4 Gateway desktop, featuring the Intel Pentium 4 with a clock speed of 3.2Ghz dual core with Hyper Threading technology and a whopping 2GB of DDR2 RAM (4x512MB), missing nothing but the GPU and the boot drive at a thrift store. Via local sellers, I was also available to get an assortment of PCIe and PCI cards for $25, including an old 256MB (incredible for the era of this computer) ATI Radeon GPU, that got the old motherboard to launch into the BIOS configurations. I paired all of this with a 500GB HDD boot drive salvaged from broken laptops given to me. I managed to install 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium on, and voila! A total of $29 spent on a refurbished Intel-based build. A great deal found locally!

[@chris-anton42018]

Favorite tech channel

[@lisov4575]

The cheapest computer I ever owned was an Asus eePC 1000HE. I got it for only $80, and for the money, it was fine, even with Windows 10. You-tube struggled at anything more than 720p and no modern games were possible, but it ran retro games such as Half Life just fine. It's biggest pro was portability, because it's so small. It was great for running old emulators such as GameBoy Advance and some-such. It was also great for on the go programming, some minor wireless penetration testing and video watching.

[@devindeadhouse4796]

I recently acquired an Acer Aspire One D255 netbook from a friend who found it amusing enough watching me try to make it run fast to just give it to me. The original specs consisted of an Intel Atom N550 dual-core running at 1.5 GHz, 1GB of 1333 MHz DDR3, and a 250GB 5400 RPM HDD. I was given a free 2GB RAM stick of the same speed, and only spent around $30 for a battery, charger and a 16gb low-profile flash drive configured for ReadyBoost. I am aware that a 16GB drive for ReadyBoost is ridiculous, but it was actually cheaper than the smaller sizes of low profile drives. I have tried a ridiculous number of OS's on the system including, but not limited to, Windows 7 starter, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Puppy Linux, Remix OS, and finally Windows 10 because, "why not?". Needless to say, I have put the HDD through the wringer, but I was trying to see if I could push the system to do at least 720p on KZbin comfortably enough. This was to no avail :( It always defaults to and runs best on 480p no matter the OS, which I expected. But since it was junk anyway, I figured it'd be the perfect system to get myself somewhat familiar with Linux. I found I'm far more comfortable on Windows, but at least I can sort of navigate Linux. The only thing I have yet to do is try an SSD, but considering the going price for that model of laptop on eBay, I don't feel like a 120GB SSD is worth my money. I consider myself lucky that ShitBook even boots up.

[@aronfaine9457]

My main computer is actually an Optiplex 380 rocking a Pentium E5400 dual core 2.7GHz, 2GB of DDR3 Ram at 800MHz, and the same Radeon 3450 GPU. Im able to get good performance for day to day processing and browsing, and I can play any old or lightweight title like Minecraft and get about 40 FPS on 720p high. The 3450 is actually not designed to be a gaming card, not even a low end one for its time. The DMS-59 port is so you can have 2 monitors and be productive. Windows 7 eats up RAM even, having 1GB is probably what caused most of your slowdowns rather than the slow single core Celeron you got, considering my Pentium is just a dual core version of it. You were probably crashing the hard drive with your page file. I use this as my main as its reliable for just doing simple work and college stuffs, I have a ULV laptop thats about 4 times faster CPU wise, but honestly about the same, maybe 1.2 times faster on the GPU department. Its kinda silly.

[@fourtysix4646]

Bought/ upgraded a 775 system for about $175. Xeon E5450(can't go past stock 3.0ghz though since mobo is at its bus limit already with this CPU and has no CPU voltage options), 4gb ddr2 800, 120 gb ssd, gt1030, 320gb hdd, 80gb hdd. Decent little media/htpc. Most of the cost was the gt1030 which I bought used for $70 Canadian and the ssd new for $50, the CPU for $30 off eBay and also added a deepcool CPU cooler for about $12. The base system which included the hard drives, case and psu, ram and motherboard I found on Craigslist for $15. May have over spent a bit as I could have found a better deal on a video card but I wanted it to use less power and make less heat. Also probably could have left out the ssd if price was a concern but the ssd just made it so much snappier. Once you've used ssds it's hard not to include even a small one as a boot drive even in a cheap budget build.

[@quazzd3730]

I often use duct tape to make cable ties. They are much easier to remove than zip ties. Cut a strip in half tape both pieces together so only a little sticky is left at the end.

[@Psittac20]

Love the show! I have a pentium 820d in pieces which is the slowest computer I have right now, oh wait I have an old HP or Dell or something that I got from someone which could be slower. Anyways if you want the 820d mb ram and hsf you can have some or all of it, watching this video almost got me interested enough to hook it back up, I have powered it on a few times but only as a means to power the pwm on my D5 pump so no risk of shorting a component. Anyways I remember this machine being my first dual core and I was absolutely blown away! The fact that I could feed several driver install's at the same time and still use it for browsing, I was sittin pretty. Down the road I didn't realize how out dated it was until I attempted to stream full screen HD. The computer I had before that was my first custom build, an Athlon XP-m 2800+ and ehrmahgerd I clocked that thing like no other, it was a generation old when I built it but I got by far the highest result's I could find from anyone else on the platform. At one point I had a full sized high head pressure iwaki pump running through a cpu block with push fit fittings running into a popcan over a plastic tub...... it worked surprisingly well. Granted I had the occasional drip onto the gpu and somehow the gpu was a champ but it ate up motherboards, lets just say that I wore out my welcome with the newegg RMA department lol! If you had the time to push some clock's I'd love to see a video about overclocking the athlonXP-m or the athlon 64 as I didn't have the chance to play with the latter. But I did have my machine stressing 24/7 and I obsessed non-stop over the clocks, but damn I found every bit that machine had.

[@synixx9286]

I had a pc with a 2.93ghz celeron d and 1gb ram in 2005. It was horrendous even back then! I'm surprised the guy on ebay didn't pay you to take it off his hands!

[@GGigabiteM]

The Celeron 450 is based on the Core2 architecture, not Netburst like your 2.93 GHz variant was. Core2 Celerons were actually respectable performers, especially the dual core variants like the E1200 in general desktop use. Netburst Celerons were poor performers due to cache starvation. The Netburst architecture needed large amounts of cache to perform adequately, something which Celerons sorely lacked. While the normal Pentium 4 may have 1-2 MB of L2 cache, early Netburst Celerons only had 128-256k, and later 512k with the Cedar Mill Celeron Ds. Most Netburst Celerons also ran smokin hot because Intel were scumbags and decided that EIST (Speed Step) wasn't something the Celeron needed to keep.

[@iexist2343]

My cheapest "computer" is a lovely old dell inspiron 700. Came with windows xp outof the box and 512 mb of ram. This was truly a gaming laptop, able to run 2d games like brawlhalla (Note: this was steam streamed from my good laptop) at a amazing 15 avg fps and at it's lowest, 0 fps. Got this from my aunt who upgraded it to a whole 2 gb of ram and windows 7. She gave it to me because she was too frustrated by it's speed or the fact that the battery started expanding...

[@peterjansen4826]

Oz, with regard to the PSU, a good PSU easily lasts for much longer than 10 years, you even get a guarantee of 10 years for some models of some brands. As you said, don't cheap out on it. Consider how long you use it and the investment certainly is worth it. Spend $80-110 on a silent and high quality 550/650 W PSU and you did a good investement for computer hardware. The same can be said for a case, it will last a long time. Of course 450 W is enough for most people but if in doubt, why not go a bit higher and be sure that it will suffice if you desire more powerful hardware in the future.

[@noneminor]

Custom case modes can be fun like, trash can build, or any other cheap building ideas like DIY wood wall build, and also some kind of old case moddings, like using budget mosfets coolings could be very entertaining and creative ideas... keep on good work

[@SaintInix]

Not cheaper, but back in like 2011, I built a Supermicro Dual opteron PC. Had 2x Opteron dual cores, running with the AMD copper pipe coolers they used to have. It ran 4x2gb DDR2 ECC, with a WD Blue or green 500gb HDD, mobo had a PCI-e full size, so i put an XFX 5550 1gb or something in there. The build, with two 19" widescreen monitors, keyboard, mouse, etc, cost me about $150. Used it 9 months playing Skyrim and WoW on my private server, then sold it for $350. Got an email a year later from the guy, said it was the most beastly, stable PC he'd ever used. I'm the type that will buy a broken mobo, swap out bad caps, and push it to the limit of its design. Anyone can throw $2,000 at a build and come out with something nice, do it on a quarter or less of that, and that deserves props. Congrats on 100k, just broke 1,000 myself and I never thought I'd even break 4 digits.

Built my main computer in 2008/2009 and was free. Was signed up for a class on how to build a computer which I took home afterwards. Still run this old computer, have replaced a few things like CPU,GPU,SSD and recently power supply went out so had to replace that.

[@LNCRFT]

My cheapest computer/laptop is an Asus M51Va.. CPU: Intel C2D P7350 2x2, 0GHz GPU: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650 512MB DDR2 RAM: 4GB DDR2 800MHz HDD: 700GB It cost me like 40 € back then used and for 1080p30 KZbin or for light gaming (NO Rocket League or anything what requires a 8800GT) ran fine. ..... Well...GTA V had massive graphical issues... same as Frostbite 2 games but overall it ran great with older titles up to 2009-2010. I recently played CoD BO2 but everything on low except of textures and at 800x600.... 40-70FPS but with 40 sec loading times in the loading screen. This laptop was used til December 2016 as my main laptop/pc.....I'll never forget the good times I had with it

[@clockWorks10]

The cheapest computer I ever owned was this super old Macintosh laptop from the 90s. I have no idea what it was worth but it was actually my first computer and it could browse the web a bit and play minesweeper. When I say old, I mean the thing had a black and white screen, was about three inches thick despite being a laptop, and weighed several pounds. I sold it for I think 20 bucks. I got my second computer from my grandpa. This one was a laptop from I believe 2004. It had windows XP, could run minecraft, web browse and multitask a bit. I sold that one for I think another 20 bucks. Finally in 2013 ish, I bought an HP Envy for about 700 bucks. It worked alright for a while, but it slowed waaaay down. I still have it and use it primarily as a word processor if I can't be at my PC. As for my pc, this is the most expensive computer I've ever owned and I paid about 1800 total with around 1400 for the actual tower and components. The rest was peripherals. I use this rig for college work and gaming, despite it's less than awesome GPU. Let me know if you'd like some spec bc I'm kinda proud of this build. Love your videos, keep em up!

Congratulations to hit a 100k man

[@decameter]

Cheapest computer I ever owned was a 400$ stock dell tower hand me down, it was nearly 4 years old by the time I'd recieved it and had originally belonged to my brother. in fact we had to actually spend money on Ram as it didn't have enough to run Photoshop CS3 (incidentally the Photoshop suite cost more than the PC at the time), photoshop required a minimum of 1 gig of ram and the PC had only 512 meg. Being 14 at the time I thought it was the best, because it was a computer that was all my own. I mostly played online with it, and it managed to hold up pretty well to Myspace, Neopets and even IMVU which ran okay, even with python being relatively new at the time and the machine not having dedicated graphics.

[@bestopinion9257]

This is not for modern gaming. But you can have a lot of fun with proper old games like Half Life 2, Doom 3, and so on.

[@alicemuguet6947]

5:27 ozi so cute 😂😂

[@kiaas]

one thing keeps bugging me watching this: LGA775 does not integrate the GPU on the CPU, it's on the motherboard itself so will vary by the mobo selection and not cpu selection.

[@OzTalksHW]

kiaas yep you're right. My mistake!

[@cybercat1531]

Unbeknownst to most. LGA775 CPU's don't have an iGPU. The onboard GPU on older computers is actually part of the mainboard northbridge. The first Intel CPU's to include on CPU integrated graphics was Sandy Bridge. i3/i5/i7-2xxxx.

[@Matt-pt3vq]

Still got this, you should do the socket 775 tape mod overclock on the CPU and see if it works

[@maxpov]

wow still better than a chromebook

[@TheRadioBunker]

The guy in the background in the beginning was great

[@ItsMrSmashy]

On an older system like this with a Radeon HD 3000 series GPU, you might have results with HD KZbin playback by installing the h264ify extension on your browser. With that, you can force 30 FPS playback and H.264 streaming (which should be hardware-accelerated on that GPU).

[@VoltSnake]

[@LT7Racing]

The cheapest computer that I currently own is a socket 462 Athlon XP +3000 plus system from the turn of the century that I got for free. Its amazing to think this hardware used to be close to top of the line.....It handles Linux from a usb drive just fine somehow haha

Bought a Windows 95 pentium 1 era lappy for 30 bucks in 2011. Was great as a typewriter/Xcom machine for about a month. Tried to run Syndicate, required some serious tampering to get it going... ended up fragging the machine. Good night sweet prince.

Ozi told me he wouldn't talk to me anymore once he is a superstar :(

[@timothypeterson9753]

[@ryanb.2967]

But can it run windows ?

[@akashP998]

Nicka Thom I think windows 10 requires at least a dual core with 2gb ram. So I'd say NO!

[@leonro]

Optimistic 007 It requires 2GB RAM for x64 and 1GB for x32, but it can run on any processor that's at least 1GHz. Actually, Windows 7 and 10 minimum recommended specs are identical.

I bought a computer at a senior center sale for a dollar. Though in my old home town I used to pick PCs up at the dumps there too. So free.

I recently bought a Optiplex 380 with 4 gig of ram for 30 bucks. I swapped out the CPU for a Xeon X3450 for 11 bucks, plus 2$ for a 775 to 771 adapter. It didnt come with a hard drive and found an Enterprise WD 1 TB drive for 10$. It works great for simple web browsing and KZbin. Tried Cuphead and it worked ok.

I don't blame anyone who's broke enough to do this as a main computer..

[@noneminor]

you can play atomic thanks, wolfenstein, half life, pes 2007, need for speed underground 2, gta vice city, command conquerer, doom, quake, test drive, carmegaddon like other older but quite fun titles.

[@gort7562]

I have so many of those 3450s in a box right now, especially the passive cooled variants.

[@boredirishguy]

Could we see a follow up video with this PC, "upgrading the $35 PC"? Like how much would it cost to make games playable on this?

[@bww9450]

Well I built an AMD Athlon 5370 AM1 cpu system a while ago. I also had an GTX 730 video card with it.This system was intend just for very light gaming and movies. I did manage to play Star Craft on it but nothing more demanding game wise. Maybe you could try that out as a cheap pc rig.

[@ugzz]

Kinda neat, but i was waiting for the pre-2006 games you mentioned might run, but you never tested any :(
