We Built the CHEAPEST PC on Amazon! #Helpful Post

good old Rose will hold the SC mo1 yeah

oh you know this case no I don't okay

okay so should we start with should we

start with Pat yeah let's take it out of

the box I guess like the idea here is

we're just gonna build this thing yeah

okay and you've never built it before

nope so a lot of the time when writers

prepare a video they they do a lot of

the preparation yeah I heard that they

do that ahead of time

uh-huh but today we're just yellowing it

yeah well that it's it's fun to prepare

but you know it's it's fun to keep life

spicy too that sounds like that sounds

like mistake number two yeah

high-end pcs are pretty cool

yeah they can trace raise with the best

of them but they have one major problem

they're expensive most people don't

think about that that's what we're here

for

but we did so we set out to build the

least expensive PC possible with

components that we could buy on

amazon.com yep I literally went to

amazon.com searched the name of the

component sorted by price and ordered

whatever was cheapest at that time and

this is it so it's time to figure out

whether what we ordered was an actual PC

or whether we made a horrible mistake

speaking of horrible mistakes not

checking out our sponsor for today's

video

ant lion bear new mod mic Wireless

features a low latency high-quality

connection LED status indicators up to

12 hours of battery light and more check

it out at the link in the video

description

okay so I couldn't just go to amazon.com

and literally pick the cheapest option

because they have to be compatible

probably if this is the cheapest case

and this is the cheapest board then

we're just going to have to put them

together it's only fair

so this is a LGA 775 socket motherboard

it's a dell poweredge server board okay

yes so and that's gonna be compatible

with our CPU which is a Core 2 Duo II

8400 from Intel are you sure what that

that's going to be compatible most

server boards from that generation where

LGA 771 that is a good point I've never

seen that before and this is a locking

floppy disk oh cool this is locking IDE

oh cool do you want to come in and get

some close-ups of oh so this is an

insignia it doesn't weigh much more than

the box is it tray oh wow you know what

I since I'm tired of being dumped on

look at this it's a hard drive that's

probably perfectly functional I'm pretty

sure it's new why are you asking me

questions like that test I didn't know

they still made 160 gig hard drive we

have a single ddr2 Tim that is 2 gigs

big this is not ECC and this is a server

board oh my god

no it's it should it should sub and that

says memory ECC DDR doing chipset that's

not the socket weight frontside bus 800

megahertz for Pentium 4 we'll hold on a

second this might actually be 775 but oh

my god this is a Pentium board I don't

believe this will work with a Core 2 Duo

the graphics card is a blazing fast AMD

Radeon 6350 all right how much did this

cost us this cost us a whopping actually

2888 Wow it's the most expensive part

out of all of them which is great news

to hear when it might not even work you

know this is not DVI right yeah this is

a different port that is everyone knows

is not DVI you have actually done

something today that hasn't happened in

a while you've shown me three tech

things that I have never seen before in

a single sentence that could be the

title of the video I've never seen this

before this port these like my keys

doohickeys on the IDE things you this

cooler mount oh you've never seen that

I've never seen that see and I've never

seen it either yeah well we do have some

other processors that might work Linus

look at these wonderful selection of

Pentiums

and one seller on so a lot of these are

newer new pentium old pentium pretty lit

okay here's what I think we have to do

you know I have to order the cheapest

one from Amazon that's true we have to

stay true we have to yeah dan stand

strong ok so there's gonna be some movie

magic yeah and I will get back to this

next week I guess so this is attempt

number two wait this is the old stuff

are we even using this anymore

yeah no we're not using that put that

away I never want to see it again this

is also meant for a pre-built system

right but as you can see it's a little

more of a normal layout motherboard

meant for it's a regular micro ATX form

factor yeah yeah yeah

it actually has front panel connector

becames yeah it's so we can short yeah

we're gonna have to guess at them a

little bit but at least there's

something to guess at indeed Wow even a

PCI Express 16x lot this time good job I

did it you still gotta say the grass

cart of doom-- here same 80 AMD Radeon

6350 with a DMS connector so we know

what the connectors called EMS 59 DMS 59

DMS gonna give it to you though this

connector curiously is one that's meant

to drive to displays by default so

that's why I both adapters go from one

DMS 59 and to two of the other thing

yeah

VGA all digital interface okay what else

did we change a and the last one we got

we changed was the RAM we have real ddr2

non-ecc Ram

cool I was a problem we had a server

board it was only compatible with ECC

Ram also this is need er three you know

this right what we's up mode I rabbit

written in the script ddr3 alright I'm

just okay so everything's here

yep should we build it I I hope we can

they they fit in the holes it's like

they were actually designed to fit

together pal yeah boom Kapow yeah dual

channel baby four gigs of ram yep we

paid eight dollars for four gigs last

time right and now we're up to 18 18 so

$10 more so we paid an extra $13 but to

be plus the adapters which I actually

don't have in here minor detail but I

think they were like $3 hey ok it's kind

of coming together now it looks like

this might be a PC whoo whoa

I mean that's not a great indicator but

it's on which is farther than we got

last time

sweet music yeah oh man I need like a

piece of tape or something so annoying

what new ramp yeah it's worth the shot I

honestly don't think it's ramble let's

give it a shot

this is pretty much our most compatible

ddr3 ram this rip rip jaws Z stuff okay

everybody

okay so I got a tray full of

lg8 I think there are a LGA 775 Pentiums

and the $69 gaming PC cuz that I think

it had a he's 7500 in it below yeah okay

sure yet let's uh you know what that

seems promising that is yes that's a

7500 oh well let's try that first

uh-huh do we know that this one works it

was that was what was originally in the

$69 campus great I was there and I was

there too alright I don't even have to

put the heatsink on to know if this work

- any better okay I can have the RAM

from $69 gaming PC - let's just

eventually we just put all the

components in here Samsung Samsung

quality here what's the different beep

why it's a different beep this is HP OEM

memory

Anthony checked it Anthony

should have known better that's the

memory you have Riley by was HP memory

no no no no okay wait I don't want to

get him Oh II am system builders you in

a couple of different ways wait first

they do with their motherboard making it

not compatible with other things then

they key with your upgrade components

because they want you to buy their

specific upgrade compatible thing to put

in their system but then they also you

again when you try and buy their thing

and put it into some other system so

every memory module has what's called an

SPD Chapel and what that has is all the

information that the system needs about

the memory and they can actually program

it in such a way that it's like Oh

that's not the system I was expecting

now I'm not saying that that was

necessarily what happened here because

this board also spat out that g.skill

memory yeah

so it could be the board yes but it

could also been the memory yes either

way okay

so we're gonna put the e 7500 aside for

now

oh we're gonna put your car to do a back

in here and see if that works yeah I

want to put this RAM back in just to see

nope

No you ready for a graphics card I am

ready for this and did you I mean you

must have known you must have known that

this is what this video was you thought

it'd be smooth

smooth sailin buy the cheapest that you

totally go buy the cheapest thing you

can possibly find on Amazon and you

ought to be hunky-dory

I honestly what I kind of expected was

for you to buy the cheapest brand new

things and I had meant the cheapest

thing in a given category but like I'm

2018 new yeah wait in a box with a

manual and an i/o shield well we could

do that that'd be there yeah yeah we

could keep this PC on Amazon part two I

swear it's less cringe this

Oh oh my hey not bad

is it gonna make it all the way to the

desktop

- tech tips tech tips

I am vindicated is welcome welcome to a

fan PC do we have a Gigabit LAN you can

it is it's gigabit its Broadcom and net

extreme gigabit that's the good kind

okay so the first thing we want to know

is what exactly the crap graphics card

this is I know what it is I have that

information look you can actually look

it up faster than I can check in device

manager because of how slow this thing

is it's a Radeon 6350 turns out this is

actually a Radeon 5450 so it might have

been mislabeled on your listing there

but that's what it shows up I got

swindled get um nice dude huh okay let's

move on let's move on to dota 2 dota 2

was what we really wanted here you know

we we do this and figure stuff out so

you don't have to guys we save you from

having to deal with eight frames per

second in the loading screen you thought

anthem was bad it still is 30 frames per

second 720p second lowest settings I

don't know there's three main characters

on screen there's not that many there's

not that much ago no there's really not

much but still like this is playable for

a MOBA like 30 frames a second

yeah with BOTS offline it's playable

that's true

bump the bump the settings down to

lowest can you do that in game well

we're up to 50 oh and it looks even

worse somehow at the lowest settings and

720p okay let's try a rocket League

alright 30 FPS fps in the menu okay

alright okay Wow Wow it looks really bad

oh you better go to v2 here sir I might

go

wait where is it about difficulty unfair

1v3 oh yeah okay you see you're getting

30fps though so I don't want to hear no

excuses here but Oh oh my gosh this is

like I feel like I'm on drugs right now

oh how we're good for good for good for

you

good ish dude good as old this is really

bad

can you beat three unfair BOTS I have

this is a clinic folks this is how it's

done look at this look at this he's

gonna put the card in the net all right

sports fans this is why we all watch the

game Oh chipper chipper

so what we're discovering here is that

unless you're gonna meet a certain sort

of threshold for how much you're gonna

spend there are certain components that

are expensive to buy standalone like a

case just because of the logistics of

the thing is never gonna cost below a

certain amount you got it you got to

ship it and stuff whereas when you buy

it as part of a bundle it might

contribute very little of the value of

the total PC as we saw with the $69

gaming PC so we stand by our previous

recommendation for low-budget gamers

rather than trying to go on a retail

site like Amazon buy all the cheapest

stuff slapped it together and oh that

you can get it working we'd really

recommend doing what we did last time

buying a already working computer and

then if you've got the budget for it

even down the line applying a few choice

upgrades in order to smooth out the

experience this was a hundred and fifty

dollars just all the parts by itself and

that computer was 30 bucks plus 30 bucks

plus another 60 bucks for a GPU yeah 120

bucks altogether we got as good gaming

there's a way better gaming experience

way better terrible yeah and for those

of you out there being loved

- not everything is about gaming trust

me it's terrible for everything else -

speaking of terrible wouldn't it be

terrible if I didn't tell you guys about

our sponsor for today's video

thermal takes a 500 aluminum mid-tower

case takes a minimalist approach to its

design with a brushed aluminum finish

for a clean uninterrupted look it's

hinged tempered glass panels on both

sides of the case make it easy to show

off your internals while keeping things

classy if you're more into that sort of

thing and the a500 supports radiators of

up to 422 millimeters long in the front

and up to four three and a half or two

and a half inch drives along the left

side panel or on top of the power supply

cover it includes a USB type-c port on

the front IO and you can check it out

today at the link in the video

description so thanks for watching guys

really

thank you for watching thank you for

accompanying us on this painful painful

journey but we had fun didn't we I

learned a lot we had fun if you guys

dislike this video you can hit that

button but if you liked it hit like get

subscribed or maybe consider checking

out where to buy the stuff we featured

at the link in the video description

also down there is our merch store which

has cool shirts like this one and our

community forum which you should totally

join by the way Anthony sent me an email

said he was exonerated by an email that

he found well that's true apparently I

signed off on the memory I confess I

never clicked the link yeah and the

listing for it did not specify that it

was HP specific system specific Ram so

I'm exonerated - so everyone's exonerate

Wow except the Amazon seller that

shipped us that yeah stay away from them

yeah
