seen all the comments. Linus, please, focus on budget parts for a change. Something we can afford. We've heard your cries. In fact, here at Linus Media Group, we take your concerns very seriously. So here it is, my friends, the build on the tightest budget yet. Bask now in the glory of the $69 gaming PC. The be quiet! Pure Base 600 features a versatile design, noise insulation, and optimization for different liquid-cooled radiator configurations. Learn more at the link below. Okay, so I guess before moving forward, we should give credit, or rather, absolve ourselves of credit for this build where credit is due. A little while ago, while perusing the PC Master Race subreddit, we stumbled across a thread where a user wanted to build a gaming PC for under $100. And Anonymous really came through for him or her, specking out probably one of the most astonishing PCs we've ever seen for a mere $69. Disclaimer, if you actually need to build a gaming PC for under $100, it is possible. Get an old Dell Optiplex or something and throw a used video card in it. I can guarantee that'll be a better experience than what we're about to see. But come on, maybe that's been done a thousand times on YouTube already. And we were far more interested in finding out just what kind of gaming experience could be had for exactly $69. So then, the backbone of any PC is the power supply, which is why we recommend the incredible DiabloTech DA Series 250 watt to always be in close proximity to one another. So let's take a look at one of these. RAM, we've got covered by this one gig stick of Kingston DDR2 running at a rapid 667 million hertz. This will occupy all of the one memory slots in our VIA VB7001, which by the way, is still more memory slots than a Razer Blade 2017. Now for our motherboard, we did end up with a slightly different than the original post, but it has the same basic features and most importantly, processor. The VIA C7 is the heart of our build. A small, low power, single core CPU from 2007. Running at a whopping 1.5 gigahertz with VIA Unichrome onboard graphics with support for the latest DirectX API. If by latest, you mean DX8. Even at the time, this was far from a powerful solution. And 10 years later, it hasn't exactly aged like fine wine. So let's get this party started, shall we? We started with plan A, building up the machine in the only case we could afford. So the cardboard box that the motherboard shipped in and installing our operating system on the only boot drive we could afford. A USB boot drive. But we were quickly foiled by trash Windows XP booting support. So we moved on to plan B. Puppy Linux. Only one small problem with that, we couldn't even get the machine to post with the single-sided stick of memory that we got for the build. So fortunately, this dank AF OCZ gold XTC memory that we had lying around to the rescue. And more problems. Steam wouldn't run due to minimum requirements issues on Linux. So we caved, grabbed a hard drive and a CD drive off the shelf and began to install Windows only to have disaster strike. All of this excitement was actually too much for the venerable C7 on our original board. And during the Windows XP install, the poor thing died. Never to post again. So a month later, we have our second board from China that quite frankly looks a fair bit rougher. And the fact that it came without a CMOS battery didn't lend much credence to the tested working claims. But who knows, maybe we'll get lucky today. This time, we aren't taking any chances with the Windows install. So we completely broke the price limit and connected the whole thing to an SSD in order to speed up the process. Where did you find PS2 keyboard in mines? Plug this in, flip the switch. You wanna do the honors? Yeah, there we go. All right. It's alive! There it is. We got the post screen. Let's keep this right here between us. That way it's equidistant and either of us can grab it easily. Oh, that beautiful Windows XP boot screen. Okay. Wow. What the hell is this? Are you really young enough that you don't even know how to change the position to at least... I mean, if you're gonna make it scary, you gotta make it full scary. What game first? Should we start with the synthetic benchmark? No, that's probably good for last because it might break it. Cool. Rainbow Six, maybe? Rainbow Six? Oh, wow. I went to just start typing Rainbow Six. I forgot how the old start menu worked. Now, my friends, this isn't Rainbow Six Vegas or Rainbow Six some other suffix. This is Rainbow Six OG. Wow, look at that cut scene. It's beautiful. Wow, those graphics. Wow, that fan manages to be pretty loud. Yeah, I think the bearings are bad on this one. Because it didn't sound like that on the other one. That's actually running not bad. I mean, all things considered. Look at those animations. It's beautiful. The whole Rainbow Six concept just didn't make a ton of sense to me. Like the idea of relying on AI, which is inherently garbage, to complete the mission rather than being a super soldier. Did it just crash? Oh, you just suck. Okay, this game's no fun. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4? No, that one doesn't open. Okay. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 works. All right. Do you remember game demos? We're running demos. It'd be so good for our job, too, because then we wouldn't have to buy games to benchmark them. Oh, wow. This is actually running... Okay, this is legit running pretty smoothly. I mean, that doesn't help me much. I even got some blood effects when I fell down there. He's a really good skater. If he can take these directions. We're playing Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. Yes, that was my childhood. Okay, how do you play this game? I think I did it on console. Okay, okay, okay. Whoa, he did a 360 no comply. Oh! Oh! You lost all the points. Okay, so V does something. How do I get up speed? It keeps beeping whenever you press a key. Yeah, if I press too many keys, do a thing and jump out of it. Oh, yeah. Oh, no! Oh, yeah, I landed it. Taren was good at a video game. Yeah. What the hell just happened? Okay, what's next? You installed TF2 on this? Yeah, I could've told you that wasn't gonna happen. Well, it has a DirectX 8 mode, though, so I was hopeful. Ah, well, let's find out if Quake 3 Arena will run. All right. Oh, okay. Now this... Okay, what res do you think we can run at? 800 by 600? Should we go for it? Might as well push to the, like, max at first. Well, I mean... Okay, here we go. Yeah, no, I'm not gonna go any further than that. Okay, here we go, here we go. Hey, that's running not bad! Oh, damn it! Go away! I haven't even managed to kill him once yet! Oh, I'm almost dead. If I had any shame whatsoever, this would be really humiliating. Okay. Let's fire up 3DMark2001. 3DMark2001 SE. Benchmark. All right. Car chase, low detail. Okay, 14, 13 FPS. Okay, so quantitatively, this is not the best experience you can have with a gaming PC, not even under $100, but was it a blast finding a three-year-old Reddit post that someone obviously created kind of tongue-in-cheek to make fun of someone for not having a big enough budget and recreate it and bring it to life? Yeah, for sure. But, like, it's so bad that it's almost good again. Everything that doesn't run on it just crashes immediately. Yeah. So everything that does run on it is fun to do. So there you have it, $69 gaming PC right there. Boom, you saw it here first and last.
