I'm actually running Windows 11 on a HDD (a new, modern one), it runs fine... as long as I manage my memory properly so I don't have to use paged memory, that is.
Win 8 was made to run on those shiddy tablets that had an atom and 1 gb vram on extremely slow storage. It is VERY optimised for these devices, and thats why I still love it.
Packard Bell! Our family’s first computer was a Packard Bell 8088, well before they failed in the US market. 640K, 20MB HDD, 5.25” 360K floppy. Used it until 1999, and our teachers were always surprised by our dot matrix printed essays…
They didn't exactly fail in the US. They did VERY well for a long time and deserve credit for being the first PC for an awful lot of people. What they did not do is keep up with the competition and changing market. They were made obsolete because everyone else got better.
This reminds me about when I grew up, I was remarkably poor and I would always ask techies in the school computer shop for parts they would want to get rid of, and the same with friends and relatives and I would get a surprising amount of old but free parts. I also used to loot the recycling room in school for already thrown parts and managed to get a few things. in the end I actually did manage to build completely free computers out of the junk I got that worked totally fine. get that I did this in the 90s and early 2000 and I actually still use some of these computers today because they still work. not only did I actually manage to get something that at least worked but I also learned a lot about putting computer stuff together and troubleshooting them for problems. I still work a lot like this today for making secondary use computers with scraps for upgrading or repairing them and I then use them for more simple stuff like streaming music or browsing the web. as long as a computer can do something useful for me I keep or use these or they make parts for upgrades in other systems. I don´t toss working computer parts and I never did

I see you're going the fancy route of using the ATX splitter, that costs way too much for my budget. I got lucky and found some weird wires in my wall that i could strip down to use for the 2nd PSU. There were some sparks and a bang when removing them, but they fit right in with the PSUs.
there are left over wires that have lead protection instead of rubber in building(like old times garage) next to my house, i bet these would even provide superior thermals
Can the man of the budget become the man of the build? Will the build surpass what he's been able to do in the past? Why are there fbi agents at my house? Find out now dear viewers!
I don't think I'll ever top my personal record which was a -$100 PC which happened when my local cableco was tossing out to pretty new at the time Phenom II PCs because the graphics cards had died, I asked them if I could have them and they said help myself they were just the units that were used to power in store displays and both were "dead". Took them home and it was just some cheap graphics cards in them that had cooked after being on 24/7 but the on-board graphics were fine, sold 1 for $100 and kept the second one which is still running in my closet as a backup server.
I'm gonna play the part of "that guy" who comments on every PC budget build video, okay? Here we go: "Actually, for a child in 1800's Victorian London, that PC isn't cheap. That costs like 3 weeks of their rent"
It is insane to see how much the 1 pound pc (well even less as its 62p) PC has evolved, comparing it to the Pentium 4 nugget you had last time. Such a huge upgrade and actually might make a decent budget office work station when you slap Linux onto it! Also really love the frequent upload schedule and the new pixel art. One thing I would suggest tho is to let the intro jingle play out full b4 starting the video and not cutting it off - kinda feels like the intro is rushed imo
Just finished watching this a few days after post, my weekend was too busy to watch with all of my attention but this morning it was another classic Budget Builds project. Thank you as always for making these videos so enthralling.
First of all, you are nuts. In a good way, but nuts. Enjoyable video, but I would never find it acceptable (from a risk perspective) to do what you did with the power supplies and the case. Performance wise it is good. For what it is. But also what you mentioned about how some web pages are harder to run than say Skyrim. I wish I could say that was a new thing. Who here remembers 20-25 years ago loading a webpage filled with flash to only have the PC slow down to a crawl? Not talking about the amount of data you had to download/stream, because that would mean having to include everything from the first days of the WWW, but the actual pages slowing down the whole system. Anyway, fun video, good length ( I like them big), thank you for sharing.
What an absolute fire hazard of a computer 💀 The two sketchiest PSUs ever, literally duct-taped together to power a notoriously power-hungry GPU inside of a cardboard box. WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG It's absolute madness and I love it. More builds like this please!
Some of us, remember the old time when reinstalling windows95 was a 4-6hours job :) Then, 3 days of customizations, driver install, software install, and of course, no internet... Everything from CDs and floppies :)
I remember the first under 1£ builds, the graphics cards found in the bin... Videos like these bring me back. You are the reason I got into PC building, thank you for being the OG Budget PC channel ❤
As the owner of multiple e39 5 series, that e36 3 series finally explains the budget builds obsession and general insanity of this channel. Old BMW’s are basically a German Denial of Money Attack and will absolutely drive you permanently insane. I don’t know if BMW makes the most terrible great cars on earth, or the greatest terrible cars. All I know for sure is I went nuts along time ago, and that I’m subscribed to this channel.
Wonderful video! Actually, that 62p computer is fairly competent to this day!! Thanks for this wonderful video! (Off-Topic) 25:53 I got the exact same UA-cam Ad before this video as the one you got here!!!
I'm building my brother a PC for his birthday, I've basically ended up upgrading my rig and donating my parts to him. Somehow this more expensive option was logical to me. 🤣
Really great fun. And yeah, what is now categorized as junk is... a lot more than you'd give it credit for. Sure, £1 is for the lulz, even if it's doable, but even a modest €50 will net you very decent boxes. And with a bit of shopping, you can find DDR3 at ~1GB/€ or less, so a budget 16GB or 32GB isn't really much of a stretch. Sure, it won't be competing with the newer boxes in newer titles, but if you have some leniency, it will work OK'ish. And that said, we're at the point where even a new budget build at retail price can be made and it will be a great box able to handle A LOT. A 5600G with a good amount of RAM and a half-decent SSD won't break the bank. It's when you go "premium" that you get "premium'ly ripped off".
10:02 I'm pretty sure steam ran smoother after you killed it in task manager because when steam crashes it enables hardware acceleration, so it runs on the gpu instead of the cpu
Ok, I just found this channel and man is this entertaining to watch. Been binging some older videos today and it's so entertaining. Almost makes me wanna drag out my socket 775 PC and see if it still runs well enough today
I also had a pc like this in very rough times, it was inside a milk carton, but it worked, it did it's thingh while it was needed, and that is all that counts! This 62 pence pc is someone's dreampc somewhere on this planet
These challenge videos are my favourite from you man, you’ve even inspired me to want to try this out myself maybe as a new hobby. I just find it all really interesting especially with the older parts in the cheaper builds. Keep it up!
Only tech channel where the videos are entertaining enough to repeat watch again every so often. Favourite is the hp sff £50 one. Inspired me to do a few of those myself! Great to see the classic cardboard box case again.
It's super cool that you did a streaming test at the end! I got started on my streaming career with a Phenom II x4 965, 4GB of RAM, on Windows 7; playing emulated PSP games at 1280x720p 30fps paired with a R9 280. It was *slightly* better than your PC, but the specs were still really close! It was super nostalgic seeing you throw modern OBS at the thing. I was using OBS Classic back then, just because it was slightly more stable than OBS Studio. Here I am now, using a Ryzen 5 5600x, 32GB of DDR4, paired with a RTX 4060 :) Funny how time works!! Thanks so much for this video! This was really fascinating!
Well...this is weird. I got a Phenom 9150e, a Gateway motherboard, and 8gb of ddr2 back in a trade in April. Been fun to mess with every now and then. I used MXLinux on it with a HD7450 mainly as a media machine. Also, haven't seen the dual PSU in a long while. I don't remember that last time you did that. But happy this didn't combust into flames. Love the videos man. Really awesome to see the "lowest price point you can go" series and get an actual working system. Been really enjoying the recent videos. Also, 23:32 had me rolling! That voice is hilarious XD
You know, you get to a point with PC building where you've built with enough new and exciting parts that all there is to do is fiddle with society's refuse. This is that point, and I love it.
Dangit, I was off by a bit. Thought it was the Athlon XP era lmao. But holy shit this looks like a lot of fun, great job man. Im seriously happy to see you routinely posting now, your videos help me calm myself at times. Thank you.
Man this is an awesome video I'm so glad you're back to making the videos and I hope you're doing well they're always very entertaining. Makes me want to fire my overclocked phenom2
Thoroughly enjoyed and laughed on some situations.. thank you very much for this type of budget builds..the efforts you put on making this video cost more than anything.. waiting for more budget builds..❤❤
You could seriously do the news man! Your voice is really nice and you articulate the words very well. You could be perfectl for the radio also and do you hace a 3d printer? You could make many cheap and cool attachments for pc builds. You could print a pc case for really cheap :D Cool vid!
I have a Phenom II X4 940BE which I was running for 12 years without a single failure, was a solid workhorse. Ran Windows 10 just fine, ran steam just fine. Now I have no idea what to do with it apart from retire it.
that e36 so fire man. i miss mine so much, had 3 when they were still cheap about 4 years ago. bought one fixed it up sold it yaknow how it go sometimes. the manual one i had was the best feeling stickshift i think i ever had. solid ass car.
Fantastic video. I can’t believe it ran Skyrim that well. Maybe get a non-sketchy power supply and a cheap SSD and this would be a great budget PC for anyone trying to get into gaming (as long as it’s not modern gaming) the Mobo/cpu/ram combo was a steal for what it could actually do.
This channel is a treasure and a reminder that the age and price don't determine performance. ❤Reminds me of my good ol’ Core 2 Quad (q8200) with a GTX 560Ti (and 6go of DDR3 ram). By a miracle, i was able to run Valorant, BeamNG, Scrap Mechanic and many more on this setup! And all of that for less than 50$.
I had a Phenom x4 9500 back around 2008-2014 and put a HD 5830 in there that I got from CEX and it was bottlenecked! I know because I went from a HD4870 to the HD5830 and the performance didn't budge one bit. Was nice being able to use Direct X 11 though :) Thanks for the memories! :D
This was awesome! Thought the harddrive might have been an issue, glad it wasn't. Such a fun video! I'd like to see you splurge and maybe do some £10 builds. :D

That cable management just shows, this guy's a pro... No wonder he builds those powerhouses of gaming...
Also love the "if the case don't have a hole in the right place, make it" approach 😂
Love that box airflow 😂
skyrim running better than morrowind and oblivion is so funny but i suppose its a testament to the game's optimization on pc
5:43 - "Questionable" you say. I'm thinking that is an understatement.
This is really a budget baller!
Mate. Its been so good to have you back doing regular videos again! Absolutely killing it.
Digging the new intro too!
The room you filmed in looks suuuuuper cozy lol
It's a caravan.
A new world needs to be created, this isn't even budget, more like a scavenged PC. Great work!
These challenge videos are my favourite from you man, you’ve even inspired me to want to try this out myself maybe as a new hobby. I just find it all really interesting especially with the older parts in the cheaper builds. Keep it up!
Only tech channel where the videos are entertaining enough to repeat watch again every so often. Favourite is the hp sff £50 one. Inspired me to do a few of those myself! Great to see the classic cardboard box case again.
It's super cool that you did a streaming test at the end! I got started on my streaming career with a Phenom II x4 965, 4GB of RAM, on Windows 7; playing emulated PSP games at 1280x720p 30fps paired with a R9 280. It was *slightly* better than your PC, but the specs were still really close! It was super nostalgic seeing you throw modern OBS at the thing. I was using OBS Classic back then, just because it was slightly more stable than OBS Studio.
Here I am now, using a Ryzen 5 5600x, 32GB of DDR4, paired with a RTX 4060 :) Funny how time works!!
Thanks so much for this video! This was really fascinating!
Well...this is weird. I got a Phenom 9150e, a Gateway motherboard, and 8gb of ddr2 back in a trade in April. Been fun to mess with every now and then. I used MXLinux on it with a HD7450 mainly as a media machine.
Also, haven't seen the dual PSU in a long while. I don't remember that last time you did that. But happy this didn't combust into flames.
Love the videos man. Really awesome to see the "lowest price point you can go" series and get an actual working system. Been really enjoying the recent videos.
Also, 23:32 had me rolling! That voice is hilarious XD
good old-style content, been waiting ages for such a thing
I came here to see the bargain price pc, stayed for the sims ost in the background and the cardboard box
Love all the PC classics
You know, you get to a point with PC building where you've built with enough new and exciting parts that all there is to do is fiddle with society's refuse. This is that point, and I love it.
Dangit, I was off by a bit. Thought it was the Athlon XP era lmao. But holy shit this looks like a lot of fun, great job man. Im seriously happy to see you routinely posting now, your videos help me calm myself at times. Thank you.
5:25 it's so beautiful 😢
Man this is an awesome video I'm so glad you're back to making the videos and I hope you're doing well they're always very entertaining. Makes me want to fire my overclocked phenom2
Pure unadulterated silliness
I love it
f'in love your channel and the fact that you've been posting way more as of late. thank you
Thoroughly enjoyed and laughed on some situations.. thank you very much for this type of budget builds..the efforts you put on making this video cost more than anything.. waiting for more budget builds..❤❤
Damn, complete set for 12p. I wonder how he got to why 12p figure?
EBay auto prices some things
"Twelve?" "Twelve." "Twelve?" "Such an odd number, isn't it?" "I LIKE BEANS!"
Quality upload as always, the budget builds are off the charts man, thanks as usual!
It's so cursed, I love it!
You could seriously do the news man! Your voice is really nice and you articulate the words very well. You could be perfectl for the radio also and do you hace a 3d printer? You could make many cheap and cool attachments for pc builds. You could print a pc case for really cheap :D
Cool vid!
One of my nephews was over the moon with a pc I built from rubbish i had in the shed (some old prebuilt ,the best core 2 duo I had)
Absolutely love this. You've inspired me to use some of these Amazon boxes as cases!
-Now do you understand my love for AMD's Dark Era?-
🤣
The electricity used making this video probably cost more than the pc it was made around.
I have a Phenom II X4 940BE which I was running for 12 years without a single failure, was a solid workhorse. Ran Windows 10 just fine, ran steam just fine. Now I have no idea what to do with it apart from retire it.
You can use that computer as a server for storage files and movies or turning onto a emulation machine as well!!!
that e36 so fire man. i miss mine so much, had 3 when they were still cheap about 4 years ago. bought one fixed it up sold it yaknow how it go sometimes. the manual one i had was the best feeling stickshift i think i ever had. solid ass car.
I waited a long time to see this performance.
I watch because you test all the things i can't be bothered to
Keep up the good work 👏
the crazy part about this is that a cheeseburger at McDonald's costs more than this gaming monster
Fantastic video. I can’t believe it ran Skyrim that well. Maybe get a non-sketchy power supply and a cheap SSD and this would be a great budget PC for anyone trying to get into gaming (as long as it’s not modern gaming) the Mobo/cpu/ram combo was a steal for what it could actually do.
This channel is a treasure and a reminder that the age and price don't determine performance. ❤Reminds me of my good ol’ Core 2 Quad (q8200) with a GTX 560Ti (and 6go of DDR3 ram). By a miracle, i was able to run Valorant, BeamNG, Scrap Mechanic and many more on this setup! And all of that for less than 50$.
seeing a new video of yours is always a pleasure
I had a Phenom x4 9500 back around 2008-2014 and put a HD 5830 in there that I got from CEX and it was bottlenecked! I know because I went from a HD4870 to the HD5830 and the performance didn't budge one bit. Was nice being able to use Direct X 11 though :) Thanks for the memories! :D
Nice bmw you got there
This was awesome! Thought the harddrive might have been an issue, glad it wasn't. Such a fun video! I'd like to see you splurge and maybe do some £10 builds. :D
