1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,200
people pay big bucks for the fastest PCS so then you would think conversely if

2
00:00:04,960 --> 00:00:12,000
you buy the slowest components you should save a ton of money right I mean

3
00:00:09,719 --> 00:00:18,160
it sounds logical enough and this is brand new hardware it's got to be better

4
00:00:14,360 --> 00:00:21,560
than buying something used right well

5
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,880
not necessarily last time around we used

6
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:27,039
the Athlon 3000g which by the way AMD

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:31,920
still hasn't replaced other than to give it a packaging refresh and a shiny new

8
00:00:29,599 --> 00:00:37,040
partner just a couple of months ago not to be outdone Intel has come out with

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:37,800
something since then that is somehow a

10
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:46,199
bit slower on first glance the Intel Celeron

11
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:48,600
G500 is quite similar to AMD's worst

12
00:00:46,199 --> 00:00:54,600
both are dual core chips based on their respective Brands 14 nmet processors

13
00:00:51,239 --> 00:00:57,039
with PCI Express gen 3 dual Channel ddr4

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:01:05,360
memory and built-in Graphics but the Celeron is slower clocking at 3.4 GHz to

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:08,080
the Athlon 3.5 with just one thread per

16
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:11,560
core rather than two all while drawing almost twice as much power we're going

17
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:17,280
to have it linked in the video description in case you want to see the full specs but I really don't think any

18
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:22,280
of you should be running out to buy this thing even if it does include this

19
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:27,840
spiffy heat sinking fan maybe you'd rather check out our sponsor pulseway it

20
00:01:25,280 --> 00:01:31,840

free trial today with the link below we'll pair our little Celeron or celery

24
00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:49,520
as we used to call them with a basic motherboard that we dug out of storage

25
00:01:47,439 --> 00:01:55,560
since the exact board doesn't affect performance much for this generation

26
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:58,560
h410 and b460 were the entrylevel

27
00:01:55,560 --> 00:02:01,880
chipsets but they'll cost you around a

28
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,240
100 Yankee Doodles these days notably

29
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:09,679
this is not a good price when you're spending only $50 on your CPU which

30
00:02:07,399 --> 00:02:15,560
highlights one of the major issues with buying super low tier brand new hardware

31
00:02:13,160 --> 00:02:19,440
the supporting players might end up breaking your budget even if you feel

32
00:02:17,519 --> 00:02:24,040
like you're getting a deal on one of the components that's why we took a

33
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:28,239
completely different approach with our comparable system this time around oh

34
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:33,959
yes we're doing one of those as well by going secondhand the DDR

35
00:02:30,959 --> 00:02:36,080
42666 supported by our CPU is still

36
00:02:33,959 --> 00:02:39,800
readily available though these days you have to go out of your way if you want

37
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:46,959
to find less than an 8 gig dual Channel kit which we did so we have gone with

38
00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:51,760
this single 4 gig stick avengeance lpx

39
00:02:46,959 --> 00:02:55,599
ddr4 and for storage we've got this bad

40
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:57,519
boy it is getting pretty unusual for us

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,360
to do a build with a conventional hard drive these days and literally all of

42
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:08,120
the pre-built PCS that we looked at from major retailers Shi with ssds now but

43
00:03:05,799 --> 00:03:14,159
hey these good oldfashioned Spin and hunks of metal they ain't dead yet so we

44
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:16,760
settled on the WD 5000 AZ RZ from

45
00:03:14,159 --> 00:03:23,200
Western digitals blue lineup it holds 500 GB of storage includes a 64 megabyte

46
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:30,879
cache spins at 5400 revolutions per minute and has a

47
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:32,959
transfer rate of up to 150 mbes a second

48
00:03:30,879 --> 00:03:38,720
yeah you're going to be plenty slow for our little sluggish PC here ah isn't

49
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:43,920
that cute to be honest guys we weren't sure how to settle on the slowest case

50
00:03:42,159 --> 00:03:48,319
is it the heaviest the one with the worst airf flow the one without any

51
00:03:46,439 --> 00:03:52,840
keyed heads on the screws so it takes longer to assemble even with the help of

52
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:58,560
a trusty KN to Edition LTT Screwdriver from LTT Store.com we ended up settling

53
00:03:55,400 --> 00:04:01,400
on the fantex eclipse g300 a and then we

54
00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,920
made a cute little na decal for the side now for some reason power supply

55
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:12,120
manufacturers don't include a speed rating in their spec so we went with a

56
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:14,079
basic 450 W unit from fsp nothing to

57
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:20,239
really write home about here folks but plenty capable of powering this sluggish

58
00:04:16,840 --> 00:04:23,120
setup it's the hexa 85 Plus Pro with the

59
00:04:20,239 --> 00:04:29,280
Final Touch being our 8 Pin PCI Express auxiliary power which we are not going

60
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:30,360
to need at all believe it or not you can

61
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:37,120
still get brand new GT 730s which did work on

62
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:41,560
Windows 11 at one point but seem to have lost support in recent drivers so we are

63
00:04:39,479 --> 00:04:46,919
going to be going with the almost as terrible GT

64
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:48,520
1030 it really is still more of a I

65
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:52,800
desperately need a second Monitor and a low profile case sort of card as opposed

66
00:04:50,919 --> 00:04:57,680
to a gaming device especially considering AMD's recent launch of

67
00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:03,199
onboard Graphics that can run circles around it but let's give it a go that is

68
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:09,440
one slow gaming PC you can fit so much slow in this bad boy I think having one

69
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:12,120
RGB thing is worse than having no RGB

70
00:05:09,440 --> 00:05:18,680
things just looks so out of place that's the hardest working red LED gaming hey

71
00:05:17,400 --> 00:05:24,680
actually can't see it on my display I can see it on the capture machine over there now it's on mine awesome haven't

72
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:31,039
seen Windows take this long to load in a little while

73
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:33,639
uh wow

74
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,680
it's like the gym teacher came in and Microsoft was like okay how many laps

75
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:41,720
should I run coach and the gym teacher was like

76
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:47,000
yes going around oh my God it's still going it

77
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:53,400
went black for a second thought we were

78
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:55,639
done do you guys remember the early days

79
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:59,360
of SSD when people like me were out there going yeah SSD it's a big deal it

80
00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:04,160
makes a big difference and the hard drive enthusiasts because yes that was

81
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:08,199
the thing we're all the transfer speeds aren't even that much faster hard drive

82
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:14,639
hard drive hard drive no no this is what I was talking about

83
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:14,639
man the CPU ain't

84
00:06:16,039 --> 00:06:23,440
helping are we going to leave this whole uninterrupted clip in the video just to

85
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:25,080
show people hoing long it takes okay

86
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:30,560
there we go there's the wallpaper hold on where's

87
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:37,000
my password prompt look guys this is not fake okay I'm

88
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:39,039
still waiting on it

89
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:43,919
hey I don't know what we were doing for all those other circles but we're not

90
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:49,400
done yet let's run some more my desktop icons are still

91
00:06:46,840 --> 00:06:54,800
loading Google Chrome what's that oh there it is where's my start menu at I

92
00:06:52,520 --> 00:07:00,440
right clicked let's see how long it takes to

93
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,840
register this is not all hard Drive I've

94
00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:05,400
seen hard drive based computers be perfectly

95
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:13,080
acceptable and this meets Windows 11's minimum specs this is within Windows

96
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:18,280
11's minimum spec Microsoft did you learn nothing

97
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,319
from Vista okay I'm just going to click the start

98
00:07:20,319 --> 00:07:23,960
menu listen for the

99
00:07:24,520 --> 00:07:27,960
delay wait for

100
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:37,919
it hey you besides that no problem at all okay there we go oh no Counter

101
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:41,360
Strike has an update Q Jord come on what

102
00:07:37,919 --> 00:07:44,039
160 megabytes that could take

103
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:48,039
hours pause Doom yeah yeah no it'll it'll it'll do that it's just it needs a

104
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:54,879
second to spool down it's stopping the download oh my God it's happened today

105
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:57,599
yeah that 150 Megs a year hey there we

106
00:07:54,879 --> 00:08:02,800
go baby I'll fire up frame view but first I want to see how fast we can

107
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:09,879
download a game we are almost certainly CPU bottlenecked right now and we are

108
00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:12,680
looking at 20 megabytes a second that's

109
00:08:09,879 --> 00:08:17,000
atrocious it's too broken for me to even compare the download speeds to I was

110
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:22,800
just looking at our chilled thread per video and we were downloading at 8 gabit

111
00:08:19,479 --> 00:08:25,000
per second desktop window manager is

112
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:31,479
pulling 5% of this CPU Windows problem reporting 4% we are

113
00:08:29,039 --> 00:08:36,519
coming down at between 15 and 20 megabytes per second so that's in the

114
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:41,039
200 megabit range and we are sucking back 40% of this CPU we're going to see

115
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:48,120
what's faster Linus's bladder or Counter-Strike running and install script my bets on Linus the computer

116
00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:51,320
wins and lus is not fast in the bathroom

117
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:53,040
did I win oh never mind it's launched

118
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:58,720
but I mean is it we could probably call it a draw it

119
00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:00,760
says walking wait up close it warning

120
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:05,120
graphics driver is out of date we'll be okay don't show

121
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:08,480
again they're from yesterday it'll probably be

122
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:14,040
okay hello is it just broken I do not

123
00:09:12,279 --> 00:09:20,760
understand what's happening right now I think it's fading in cuz the background

124
00:09:16,399 --> 00:09:24,440
is getting darker this is messed up

125
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:28,880
okay 1920 x 1080 here we go here we go

126
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,880
that might help wow okay it's

127
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:40,440
how is this built out of components you can still buy brand new why are

128
00:09:37,959 --> 00:09:44,920
companies selling these things is this Counter Strike 2 we're not trying to

129
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:48,839
play cyberpunk I don't even think we'd be able to play Peggle on this thing

130
00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:55,279
without leg I'm waiting for task manager to load

131
00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:59,480
right now task manager in summary we

132
00:09:55,279 --> 00:10:02,040
spent 38 $380

133
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:08,720
it's not even that cheap to build a steaming pile of garbage for real guys

134
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:11,360
this is so slow that it's basically e-w

135
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:16,760
by modern standards but we didn't do this because we thought it was a good

136
00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:20,320
idea we did it to illustrate a point

137
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,839
which this far into the video we are now

138
00:10:20,320 --> 00:10:27,680
finally getting to thank you for your patience our alternative to the slowest

139
00:10:24,600 --> 00:10:30,800
PC last time went a little bit off the

140
00:10:27,680 --> 00:10:35,000
rails we suggested a build that cost

141
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,279
twice as much and while obviously I know

142
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:44,160
what we were trying to say by spending 2x you could achieve a performance

143
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:46,160
uplift of 3x or 4X or even more this

144
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:51,760
time we wanted to challenge ourselves to do better so we have stuck with the

145
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:57,200
exact same price point of our slowest build and by turning to the used Market

146
00:10:54,560 --> 00:11:01,519
we have gotten a lot more bang for our buck Facebook Marketplace unfort for

147
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:06,480
didn't have much exciting in our area at the moment but we hit Pay Dirt on

148
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:15,639
Craigslist with this Acer pre-built with an eigh gen core i58400 that is a six

149
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:19,839
Core sixth thread CPU 8 gigs of ddr4 RAM

150
00:11:15,639 --> 00:11:22,959
a 500 gig SSD and a fresh install of

151
00:11:19,839 --> 00:11:26,079
Windows 11 all for

152
00:11:22,959 --> 00:11:28,959
$200 old pre-assembled Office Machines

153
00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:34,160
like this are great for Budget Gamers because they are known to be compatible

154
00:11:31,560 --> 00:11:39,880
and working and they often come cheaper than the individual parts or even older

155
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:43,760
custom gaming PCs if you see people listing those so we snapped it up and

156
00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:51,240
brought it back to the office to test out it came with a rather disappointing

157
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:52,839
power supply just 300 wats and only

158
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:57,079
enough connectors for what was already in the tower but otherwise everything

159
00:11:55,160 --> 00:12:04,440
looks like a decent enough base with our system and left us with a budget of $180

160
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:06,519
for a GPU and a new power supply we were

161
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:14,519
someone got a synonym for pretty darn surprised we were stupified to find a

162
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:17,120
used 1080 TI for just $150 on eBay what

163
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:22,079
a deal but unfortunately that didn't leave us with enough for a decent power

164
00:12:18,959 --> 00:12:25,240
supply so we ended up with a used non-ti

165
00:12:22,079 --> 00:12:29,680
1080 for around $120 and added a brand

166
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:32,800
new thermal smart 650 watt for $60 let's

167
00:12:29,680 --> 00:12:35,880
fire this up for comparison hey nice

168
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:38,360
it's even got a speaker for that price

169
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:45,160
one two

170
00:12:40,800 --> 00:12:47,600
three and we're booted wow it's almost

171
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:53,079
like it's a way better computer there's my task manager I mean sure that's a

172
00:12:50,720 --> 00:13:00,279
fair bit of CPU to be using at booted up but at least steam is open already wow

173
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:04,880
what a difference man to be clear this is still an older machine that was a bit

174
00:13:03,399 --> 00:13:10,959
of a delay when I clicked on the system tray for the first time but this is a

175
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:14,600
market difference I want to see how fast we can download a game get pegle okay

176
00:13:12,920 --> 00:13:21,199
it's not quite the same game I'm I'll get F1 so it's still not fast and we are

177
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:25,760
clearly CPU bottlenecked at that speed look at this this is great but I was

178
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:29,920
able to open task manager at least I was able to identify

179
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:35,360
the problem the whole interface is so much snappier

180
00:13:32,639 --> 00:13:39,880
look what if I wanted to browse the web there it is look how quick this download

181
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:43,399
is done the whole update is done in the time that it took to just click on it on

182
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:49,320
the last computer oh that was supposed to be a video okay

183
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:52,759
hilarious wow you can change to full screen just like that it's

184
00:13:53,839 --> 00:13:59,759
remarkable jeez man that was brutal dude

185
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:05,279
okay that's not a ton of fpss those 1% lows

186
00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:11,720
in particular not that great but I got a kill already um I'll just oh oh hello

187
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:14,759
spawn kill oh no

188
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:17,120
what okay I'm not getting the highest

189
00:14:14,759 --> 00:14:24,079
FPS or anything like that especially those 1% lows are dipping down to like

190
00:14:19,399 --> 00:14:26,440
70 but this is very very usable and I

191
00:14:24,079 --> 00:14:30,160
know some people are just plain not interested in used Hardware because they

192
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:33,880
have concerns about reliability they don't like the process of meeting up

193
00:14:31,839 --> 00:14:39,480
with people on Craigslist or whatever else but guys before you buy something

194
00:14:37,079 --> 00:14:44,920
entry level try and find your scrapyard War spirit because these experiences are

195
00:14:42,839 --> 00:14:52,199
not like when you're choosing a new graphics card for $400 and you might get

196
00:14:47,279 --> 00:14:54,880
72 FPS or 83 FPS we are talking dramatic

197
00:14:52,199 --> 00:15:02,160
differences in the usability of these machines oh what that was terrible I'd

198
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:05,000
be so much happier with this like not

199
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:09,160
even I mean look I do understand that you are giving up a warranty by going

200
00:15:07,199 --> 00:15:15,880
this route but if you test things before you buy them it's probably not a big

201
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:18,240
deal if that 6-year-old 8-year-old CPU

202
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:22,199
hasn't died already it's probably not going to die anytime soon and

203
00:15:19,839 --> 00:15:25,519
realistically if it does hey you've gained some valuable scrapyard boring

204
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:30,880
skills that will get you back up and running in no time going the used route

205
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:36,959
also reduces e waste keeping these still serviceable Parts in operation instead

206
00:15:33,800 --> 00:15:38,959
of in a landfill and I mean hey you get

207
00:15:36,959 --> 00:15:42,959
a better machine for your money just like you'll get more for your money with

208
00:15:40,360 --> 00:15:47,440

game oper GX lets you adjust how much of

as well you want us to want us to race them or I know it's going to win maybe

223
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:45,959
if we put Windows XP on them they'll have a chance maybe
