We made the SLOWEST BRAND NEW PC!

We’ve come a long way in PC technology in the last decade, and it made us wonder: how slow is the slowest brand new PC you can build? Well today, we’ll find out how slow a desktop can be with reasonable selections if you are on a budget, and compare them to what you SHOULD by, to get a sense of just how slow you can go.

Title: Laszlo - Supernova

"This PC is so slow I built _another_ PC while it was loading a game."

[mightym]

Linus: Builds the slowest pc
Schools: We'll take your entire stock

[CrocoDylianVT]

The funniest part is that the money you'd spend on the 210 could be used for a second RAM stick instead and boom, you have an actually decently nice entry-level APU-based gaming

[CrocoDylianVT]

I think an interesting idea would be making this but instead of being focused on being slow focused on the newest 2022/2023 lowest end parts and see how well it performs

[lol_vevo]

You can't have bottlenecks if the entire bottle is a bottleneck

[barnsbro]

now everybody knows how to build my computer

[madAlric]

i don’t know about anyone else but the 210 would have been my go-to when someone had their onboard graphics fail and didn’t want to go for a more expensive option (like a new computer or a decent card). iirc the retail one can also be adapted to a half-height slot, so it’s useful to “fix” slimline desktops too. it’s not really a gaming video card, just an output card.

[NeonEonsHp]

I got 756gb of solid state storage, 8gb ram, i5-3470 cpu, and a amd firepro w2100 4gb gpu for $75

Linus: “We’re not even using an SSD”
Literally hundreds of millions of people: *First time?*

[YOfficial]

Pre built pc makers: “And that would be $1 k”

[parrsd]

The MasterBox Q500L that you have was the case I went with for my first PC build! That's a blast from the past right there

[RealEclipsed]

The GT 210 is a fairly common display adapter for office pcs that don't have intergrated graphics, and can also be used for simple things like bonus display ports.

[mikionorton]

This is one of the only times that adding a gpu to a machine literally lowers your performance.

Schools: we have brand new computers!

The computers:

That video is 2 years old and every time he announces a new component I'm shaking.
These are pretty much the components in my budget that I consider buying to mount my pc a few weeks ago.

[flerov]

I'm building my pc from used hardware market, i spent like 200$ and i have a i5 2300, 8gb ram 1333hz dual channel, an 128gb ssd, and a gtx 550 ti. I'm happy with it

[Sprk]

When he said "we're not even using an SSD" I swear it felt like Linus called me a caveman.

[revenant]

620$ for a whole good PC
me: how?
date: 2020
me: oh that's how

[randomstuff]

That case is actually a fire budget option. Picked one up for my server PC and it's the perfect size

[Polish_Phantom]

This is literally the exact same case i own...I also saw an ad before this with linus in it... My luck today is wierd.
