I really love how original is your content. Although there are top-notch tech KZreadrs out there, they are all assembling machines that most of the times a small percentage of people can afford, or reviewing graphics cards that cannot be bought. Granted I know there's not much they can do and they try to provide content of what's available. But my point is they are all different flavors of pretty much the same. Your content is awesome when I am in a moment of needing geeky nerdy fun. I have to admit thanks to the top-notch KZreadrs I was able to assemble a computer as recently as this week AND was able to troubleshoot that the motherboard was the problem (ugh it was a pain but I found it), so they do have their place but again my point is your content is really different and pure entertainment value. Now, having said that, I would love to see a video of you taking on those top-notch tech KZreadrs and assembling a top-tier computer that you may actually keep after squeezing every penny of all your sponsors, including Vileda :)

I actually turned one of those into a budget gaming pc, all the ram needs to match and i used a gt 730.

In cases like this, where you can't boot from USB, you can use an SSD to mount the image to, and boot into the installer from the SSD and install on what will be the main drive.

5:11 Hey that's the royalty free music Journey Across japan Uses lol

The CPU is the bottleneck in these first tests because the GPU without proper drivers is literally not doing any work, these games are running with a software renderer, the CPU is doing all the work.

I have a core 2 system. The best thing you can do on it to claw back performance is NOT use windows 10. Use 8.1 or 7.

Did you try re-pasting the CPU? I got a Dell Optiplex XE for free with a pretty bad CPU and no GPU. Ran way smoother once I re-pasted the CPU and cleaned out the fan and heatsink. Now I want to try putting a 1030 or something in this and see how well it runs games. (it runs Torchlight 2 on SparkyLinux which I'm happy about)

The thing that scares me the most is that the Corsair keyboard didn’t originally have double shot pbt keycaps as the standard

I think, Dawid, you need to make this a series. Slowly upgrade the $25 PC until you can't anymore (GTX 260, C2Q, more RAM if it can, SSD, that USB3 card, etc. etc.) and take us along for the ride. Make a real budget baller :)

The hardest limit would probably be the motherboard. No oc, probably limited to 4 GB RAM and lack of drivers for modern OS. I'm writing this from a C2Q oc'ed to 4.1 GHz with 8 GB DDR2 and a GTX 660 Ti, which can run Doom 2016 and Witcher 3 at playable framerates. It basically reaches into the lower end of i5 territory, which means tons of games up until maybe 2015-17 will run just fine. So the platform itself is still capable. Obviously not as much as something less ancient, but for the right price can still make for an okay entry gaming rig.

@OverTallman

@@HappyBeezerStudios IIRC this is a Dell Vostro 200/400, there's also Inspiron 530 which use the same hardware but has silver case instead of black. The motherboard is indeed the hard limit here, but it's not like what you think: There were 2 motherboards for this model, G33M02 and G33M03. They're pretty much the same with the exception of CPU support: G33M03 supports quad core while G33M02 does not. Unfortunately Dawid has the G33M02 motherboard, as seen at 2:15. Still fine though, it supports E7000 and E8000 Core 2 Duos and since it's an LGA775 board there's BSEL mod for some decent overclocking. Even better, this board supports up to 8GB RAM, or maybe 16GB if you can find real 4GB DDR2 sticks (not those AMD-only sticks in eBay) Definitely has potential, with a better CPU, GPU and more RAM it can some kickass XP gaming machine.

So that was a 64 bit Windows 10 on a machine with 2 GiB of mem? Windows 10 must have hogged most of the systems resources for itself. X)

They use to be cinema bench pcs and with windows you could buy a windows tv remote and control it like a tv.. Not cheap as without a gpu they cost around £1,000 and they where DDR2.. :D some FYI thrown there, I loved mine at the time :D...

I have 2 of those systems being used as old servers. you most certainly can boot from usb to install windows/linux

A Dell Vostro 200! My second favorite potato! I upgraded mine with a 3 ghz dual core processor, 8 gigs of DDR 2 memory and installed Linux. With an appropriate graphics card that puppy will rock for older games. Definitely clean that bad boy out, do some upgrades and make another video.

I remember gaming on xp computers , empire earth and blitzkrieg . I even moved empire earth onto my new build and yes I have a blue ray drive , I like the old school stuff and if I’m doing a 3000$ build it’s going to have what I like

Dell where sneezing back in the day. The floor model of that prebiult had a core 2 quad. I managed to get a one at a discount because the specs where different to internals. Still makes me smile

Basically Dawid=Prebuilts Linus=dropping things Jay=Watercooling

For old systems that can't boot from USB I just use a hiren's boot cd to boot up then it has a option to boot from USB it hands it off to the USB drive. Works like a charm
