To be honest, with a bit of patience and skilled hands, you could essentially build or modify a case so that it can fit that exact motherboard as it is, screws and everything. So if anyone doesnt mind having a low-end PC, they could more or less get one for free, provided that they can find shops with this old proprietary stuff in stock when they have no use for them.

What a beast for $1.29. Case designers could certainly learn a thing or two about airflow with this design as well. All jokes aside, It's nice to see what such a low budget can get you in terms of nostalgia gaming. Personally, I'm slowly working on my "Free" PC build. I've been working on it for nearly 9 months now and basically when I go out to buy a PC component for a build I make to sell later on, I ask the seller if they have any old or dead hardware they don't want and if I can take it home for free. So far everything I've gotten has actually worked. This so far has netted me 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3, an LGA1150 motherboard with a Pentium G3258 and stock cooler, a PSU from an old Dell workstation (400W I believe) an HD 2400 256MB Graphics card, and an HD Firepro card. Still working on getting a hard drive. I also scored an incredibly old laptop for free. It looks like it's an IBM Thinkpad 775 which remarkably still powers on. Unfortunately it also does not have a hard drive.
Really like this ultra budget stuff! Keep up the great work! As for the cheapest build I have ever done (other than free complete systems): q6600 + 5gb DDR2 + HP xw4400 motherboard = $1 usd 365w HP (delta) OEM psu + 80gb WD caviar = free PNY 9800gtx+ = $1 usd
Still amazing value. I was expecting the CPU to be a Pentium 4, but a core 2 duo system for the same price as a bag of chips? Wow. And you can still play some killer games with it - the original Max Payne was one of my favourites, as was Half Life.
One thing I hate about my life right now with PC building is that I don't have a car. I've seen some fantastic offers on some PCs locally and in other counties (like Nottinghamshire and soforth) but because I don't have my own car and I mainly go out with a friend when he's available, I have missed so many good things. Like an i7-4790 with a GTX 970, 8GB DDR3 and a huge NZXT case which had I presume a h100i watercooled for £400.
Love the X1300, I had a X1550, which is the same, only slightly higher clock. Only upgraded from it in 2013, it was great! Even GTA IV ran great, 1024x768, medium ... at 60 fps ! I'm not sure why you were maxing out the Core2Duo in HL2, my Pentium Dual Core E5200 sees about 10-15% usage in Garry's mod
I never got so cheap. I usually either have to pay at least 20-60€ or the previous owner just gives it for free. I wonder if you are able to resell working PCs or you are forced to trash them due to lack of space. Lack of space is the main reason I stopped stopping people from trashing their old working PCs. I love your videos, please never stop making them.
Not bad at all :) All it needs is a case, and you've got yourself the guts of a prebuilt OEM machine from ages ago. And yes, hardware like this does not run well on Windows 10, but I've found myself that Vista drivers work fine in Windows 7, due to those OSes being so similar.
Nice! Reminded me of BudgerBuildsOfficial's attempt at a £1 PC. Pretty good performance for £1 especially the 500GB hard drive, I'd have paid the £1 just for the HDD!
Hello RGHD, I just want to say that I really enjoy your contents. I always enjoyed how you showcase your loots from ebay and some technical background stuffs. I'm far more interested on how older hardwares can keep on today's standards rather than lame expensive repetitive "monster pc build". Pardon my grammar. Cheers from PH 🇵🇭🇵🇭
Cheapest build I ever did was WAYYYYYYY back in 96....Everything was free. Got a monitor from one friend, case and power supply from another and the rest from yet another friend. Used it for a looonnggg time till the power supply blew up and took out the motherboard. I still have a IBM PS/2 model 8595 as well as a model 50 and 60 that were given to me. Should recap them and power them on someday....hmmm. Used to play Lemmings and Populous on the 8595 all the time. It has a single 1.44 meg floppy drive and 4 9 Gigabyte Seagate barracuda 3.5 inch SCSI hard drives. 486dx2 100 processor (I think) and 8 megs of ram with windows 98se. Man I loved that machine....hence why I still have it. Think I have the 5 inch full height 1 Gigabyte SCSI drive that came with it somewhere.
Says the ATI x1300 came out December of 05'... so it's even older than that. Lol. I absolutely love your PC building videos. I just came from those "Jeff" videos. Oh man that pissed me off!
Dang, that's actually a pretty sweet graphics card. Passively cooled, too! I had an actively cooled X1050 back in 2010! And my pre-built Gateway PC from 2004 wasn't able to power it properly, so the fan didn't spin.
You should consider looking at the capacitors on faulty boards. I had a 775 board that kept freezing. I de-soldered a bulging capacitor and soldered in a new one (cost 95p) . Voila - board works perfectly. Swapping bulging caps to revive old systems is a good logical next stop for your channel.
I was looking at the caps on my 775 board the other day. They're Rubycons. So they're all still good. It is an ASUS motherboard built specifically for HP. ASUS disowned them but they're not bad.
thats over the budget and 100 not worth in term of pricing and time, sure i understand it and i like it and i would maybe do the same, but its theoretical nonsence :(
@@MagnumXL420 I've been gaming solely on Linux since 2015. :) I must say, it's nice not having my computer reboot itself mid gaming session just to apply some damn updates.
putting a Fan on that GPU would get you better FPS as well, did you overclock it also? that card can overclock pretty nice that way you can do even more benchmarks.
i have a dell optiplex with a board like that.. i use a 9600 gso with a 450w psu. Terrible design, but a good pressure fan inside the case can help alot!
Honestly if you have no money something like this would actually be fine, good enough for some RUclips, very light gaming and looking for jobs so I could upgrade, not the worst thing in the world and with all these channels showing the latest and greatest this is a breath of fresh air.
They changed the Source engine at some point for HL2. My uncle bought a Dell XPS with a 3.4ghz Pentium 4 w/hyperthreading it had an ATI graphics card and was pretty much to of the line for the day and HL2 ran amazing. But i tried again recently on a p4 3.4ghz and a 9800 pro speced pretty much the same as back then and it couldn't handle it very well in Windows XP
Cool, i have a Dell 2400 Celeron in the spare room, it is set up dual boot Dos 6.22 and Win XP - both run fine. The good thing about this machine is you can reboot it and enter the bios setup and go select CPU compatibility ?? anyway it turns the memory cache off and the machine runs much slower more like a 386dx or 486sx - great for those older games that just run to fast. Of course it is no good for XT-AT speed sensitive games set to 4.77M but a have a slowdown tsr for that that adds wait states to the memory Use the right hardware for the era and thing seem to work fine Regards George
My cheapest PC was the one that I bought for my brother. I got a i5-2400 with 4GB of RAM for £20 at my work (it was a Dell Optiplex mini tower) which I upgraded it to 8GB with two more 2GB modules that costed me £10 on Gumtree and a brand new 120GB Kingston SSD for £22 from Amazon. Also, I bought an MSI RX 460 2GB for £55 on eBay that I still have to give him, but I am not sure that it will work. I have heard about people having issues with Radeon cards and Dell Optiplex motherboards. If it works, it will be a very capable gaming computer for just £107. However, I don't think that I ever go as cheap as the "computer" in this video, hahaha.
@@facestabber I'm sorry, I forgot to tell that the computer came with a 500GB HDD. Anyway, you can get one like that from CEX for only 7 quid nowadays (that was what I paid some days ago for one for a different build actually)
TitoBridge my cheapest of I got was a dell precision 690 with dual quad core Xeon and 8gb ddr2 ecc memory and a quadro gpu and 3x 15k rpm 72gb sas drives. It’s a beast I only payed 10 pounds as the guy thought it was broken
TitoBridge you may better off putting in a GT 1030 or 1050 TI. Those Dell power supplies just don’t have enough juice for more powerful cards. Most of them have 240 watt PSUs.
@@mesterak The GTX 1050 Ti is a very good option, but it is quite difficult to find for less than £90. Anyway, the RX 460 only requires 48W according AMD, so it should be enough. Besides, I think my brother replaced the PSU with his previous one. I don't know the brand, but I know that it is a 500W 80 plus Bronze, so he should be all right with that.
I once got a free HP SFF (i5-2400, 6GB ram, 500GB HDD and a GT730) because its owner thought the mobo was dead. Turns out only one ram slot was defective, and the PC was still perfectly usable once I moved the ram sticks. Does this count as a 'low budget' gaming rig (since it was free, basically) ?
The fact that you can spend just £1, or close to it, and access a plethora of PC games from years gone by, is really stunning! Whereas retro consoles fetch a high price, PCs reign supreme in this regard.
I like to play tony hawk's games on keyboard. The controlls are simple, almost all the moves are done with numpad buttons :) (i think jump=num5, grind=num8, flip=num6 etc)
But that would defeat the purpose of a gaming PC...yeah there is wine, but it will also cost some performance. Oh and also, the newer Distros have some problems with older Video cards, i couldnt get a x1300 to work with OpenGL in Ubuntu, Debian and Mint.
@@MKDC-5 maybe for your needs, but as he said in the video, windows 7 gave him issues. Also, windows 7 won't be supported much longer, so you'll have to find a new solution soon.
@@kjjustinXD that's a problem with AMD. Their support of Linux has always been spotty. Nvidia cards dating back to year one all work in Linux. Like they still have Riva TNT drivers today. My first Nvidia card on Linux was an MX 200. I ran their beta binary drivers on it back when they first came out.
Were you using the Steam version of Half Life 2 or the original Half Life 2 retail copy? The original retail version of the game is better optimised for older hardware. Several patches over the years have meant that performance on older hardware has suffered as a result of keeping things compatible.
They have a lot of newer i5 versions of this on eBay for cheap. The one I got had same issues so I hacked up a old dell case to make things fit. The power supply was the worst it had 3 abnormal pins.

It’s funny that it’s better than my $300 dollar laptop
DanTheGamer wht kind is it?
What a beast for $1.29. Case designers could certainly learn a thing or two about airflow with this design as well.
All jokes aside, It's nice to see what such a low budget can get you in terms of nostalgia gaming.
Personally, I'm slowly working on my "Free" PC build. I've been working on it for nearly 9 months now and basically when I go out to buy a PC component for a build I make to sell later on, I ask the seller if they have any old or dead hardware they don't want and if I can take it home for free. So far everything I've gotten has actually worked.
This so far has netted me 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3, an LGA1150 motherboard with a Pentium G3258 and stock cooler, a PSU from an old Dell workstation (400W I believe) an HD 2400 256MB Graphics card, and an HD Firepro card. Still working on getting a hard drive.
I also scored an incredibly old laptop for free. It looks like it's an IBM Thinkpad 775 which remarkably still powers on. Unfortunately it also does not have a hard drive.

Really like this ultra budget stuff! Keep up the great work!
As for the cheapest build I have ever done (other than free complete systems): q6600 + 5gb DDR2 + HP xw4400 motherboard = $1 usd 365w HP (delta) OEM psu + 80gb WD caviar = free PNY 9800gtx+ = $1 usd
I love you'r channel. It's like i'm addicted.
Still amazing value. I was expecting the CPU to be a Pentium 4, but a core 2 duo system for the same price as a bag of chips? Wow. And you can still play some killer games with it - the original Max Payne was one of my favourites, as was Half Life.

One thing I hate about my life right now with PC building is that I don't have a car. I've seen some fantastic offers on some PCs locally and in other counties (like Nottinghamshire and soforth) but because I don't have my own car and I mainly go out with a friend when he's available, I have missed so many good things. Like an i7-4790 with a GTX 970, 8GB DDR3 and a huge NZXT case which had I presume a h100i watercooled for £400.
Love the X1300, I had a X1550, which is the same, only slightly higher clock. Only upgraded from it in 2013, it was great! Even GTA IV ran great, 1024x768, medium ... at 60 fps !
I'm not sure why you were maxing out the Core2Duo in HL2, my Pentium Dual Core E5200 sees about 10-15% usage in Garry's mod
I never got so cheap. I usually either have to pay at least 20-60€ or the previous owner just gives it for free. I wonder if you are able to resell working PCs or you are forced to trash them due to lack of space. Lack of space is the main reason I stopped stopping people from trashing their old working PCs. I love your videos, please never stop making them.

For 400$ you can buy a laptop with like intel i5, 8 gb and 128 ssd with a radeon graphic card😑

Not bad at all :) All it needs is a case, and you've got yourself the guts of a prebuilt OEM machine from ages ago.
And yes, hardware like this does not run well on Windows 10, but I've found myself that Vista drivers work fine in Windows 7, due to those OSes being so similar.
even if get one from the trash it would be better
And also disease-ridden
Nice! Reminded me of BudgerBuildsOfficial's attempt at a £1 PC.
Pretty good performance for £1 especially the 500GB hard drive, I'd have paid the £1 just for the HDD!
"From the year 1500 BC" jesus that made me laugh! 😂
Hello RGHD, I just want to say that I really enjoy your contents. I always enjoyed how you showcase your loots from ebay and some technical background stuffs. I'm far more interested on how older hardwares can keep on today's standards rather than lame expensive repetitive "monster pc build". Pardon my grammar.
Cheers from PH 🇵🇭🇵🇭
I thought this was a budget builds episode
Cheapest build I ever did was WAYYYYYYY back in 96....Everything was free. Got a monitor from one friend, case and power supply from another and the rest from yet another friend. Used it for a looonnggg time till the power supply blew up and took out the motherboard. I still have a IBM PS/2 model 8595 as well as a model 50 and 60 that were given to me. Should recap them and power them on someday....hmmm. Used to play Lemmings and Populous on the 8595 all the time. It has a single 1.44 meg floppy drive and 4 9 Gigabyte Seagate barracuda 3.5 inch SCSI hard drives. 486dx2 100 processor (I think) and 8 megs of ram with windows 98se. Man I loved that machine....hence why I still have it. Think I have the 5 inch full height 1 Gigabyte SCSI drive that came with it somewhere.

Dang, that's actually a pretty sweet graphics card. Passively cooled, too! I had an actively cooled X1050 back in 2010! And my pre-built Gateway PC from 2004 wasn't able to power it properly, so the fan didn't spin.
You should consider looking at the capacitors on faulty boards. I had a 775 board that kept freezing. I de-soldered a bulging capacitor and soldered in a new one (cost 95p) . Voila - board works perfectly. Swapping bulging caps to revive old systems is a good logical next stop for your channel.
I was looking at the caps on my 775 board the other day. They're Rubycons. So they're all still good. It is an ASUS motherboard built specifically for HP. ASUS disowned them but they're not bad.
thats over the budget and 100 not worth in term of pricing and time, sure i understand it and i like it and i would maybe do the same, but its theoretical nonsence :(

putting a Fan on that GPU would get you better FPS as well, did you overclock it also? that card can overclock pretty nice that way you can do even more benchmarks.

Honestly if you have no money something like this would actually be fine, good enough for some RUclips, very light gaming and looking for jobs so I could upgrade, not the worst thing in the world and with all these channels showing the latest and greatest this is a breath of fresh air.
Lucky you made this before brexit, might have cost 2 quid otherwise.
They changed the Source engine at some point for HL2. My uncle bought a Dell XPS with a 3.4ghz Pentium 4 w/hyperthreading it had an ATI graphics card and was pretty much to of the line for the day and HL2 ran amazing. But i tried again recently on a p4 3.4ghz and a 9800 pro speced pretty much the same as back then and it couldn't handle it very well in Windows XP
but can it run minecraft?
sure at 0.1 fps
Forget mineCRAFT, what about mineSWEEPER?!
I've used dell optiplex 320 for free and only version 1.6.4 gets solid 45 fps
Cool, i have a Dell 2400 Celeron in the spare room, it is set up dual boot Dos 6.22 and Win XP - both run fine.
The good thing about this machine is you can reboot it and enter the bios setup and go select CPU compatibility ?? anyway it turns the memory cache off and the machine runs much slower more like a 386dx or 486sx - great for those older games that just run to fast.
Of course it is no good for XT-AT speed sensitive games set to 4.77M but a have a slowdown tsr for that that adds wait states to the memory
Use the right hardware for the era and thing seem to work fine

My cheapest PC was the one that I bought for my brother. I got a i5-2400 with 4GB of RAM for £20 at my work (it was a Dell Optiplex mini tower) which I upgraded it to 8GB with two more 2GB modules that costed me £10 on Gumtree and a brand new 120GB Kingston SSD for £22 from Amazon. Also, I bought an MSI RX 460 2GB for £55 on eBay that I still have to give him, but I am not sure that it will work. I have heard about people having issues with Radeon cards and Dell Optiplex motherboards. If it works, it will be a very capable gaming computer for just £107.
However, I don't think that I ever go as cheap as the "computer" in this video, hahaha.
@@facestabber I'm sorry, I forgot to tell that the computer came with a 500GB HDD. Anyway, you can get one like that from CEX for only 7 quid nowadays (that was what I paid some days ago for one for a different build actually)
TitoBridge my cheapest of I got was a dell precision 690 with dual quad core Xeon and 8gb ddr2 ecc memory and a quadro gpu and 3x 15k rpm 72gb sas drives. It’s a beast I only payed 10 pounds as the guy thought it was broken
@@drbass9677 That's really difficult to beat!
TitoBridge you may better off putting in a GT 1030 or 1050 TI. Those Dell power supplies just don’t have enough juice for more powerful cards. Most of them have 240 watt PSUs.
@@mesterak The GTX 1050 Ti is a very good option, but it is quite difficult to find for less than £90. Anyway, the RX 460 only requires 48W according AMD, so it should be enough. Besides, I think my brother replaced the PSU with his previous one. I don't know the brand, but I know that it is a 500W 80 plus Bronze, so he should be all right with that.
I once got a free HP SFF (i5-2400, 6GB ram, 500GB HDD and a GT730) because its owner thought the mobo was dead. Turns out only one ram slot was defective, and the PC was still perfectly usable once I moved the ram sticks.
Does this count as a 'low budget' gaming rig (since it was free, basically) ?

Were you using the Steam version of Half Life 2 or the original Half Life 2 retail copy? The original retail version of the game is better optimised for older hardware. Several patches over the years have meant that performance on older hardware has suffered as a result of keeping things compatible.
Half-Life 2 ran better before the Orange Box update. One of the reasons being the DX7 compatibility.
Build 7 (2006) runs best on old hardware
They have a lot of newer i5 versions of this on eBay for cheap. The one I got had same issues so I hacked up a old dell case to make things fit. The power supply was the worst it had 3 abnormal pins.
