when I built my $40 junk PC all those months ago people were like damn I want to see more of this so today I've upped the budget to $100 and we're going to put together something that can hopefully play a lot of today's games at decent frame rates especially at 1080p ladies and gentlemen welcome back to tech ES city this is Brian coming back to you guys today with a much popular requested used PC guide now today we're doing a 100 dollar guide and I've selected what I feel are some of the best bang for buck PC parts in the use section so I'm going to be going first of all through each individual part telling you how much I paid for it and why I bought it and then I'll also be putting the bill together and if I incur any problems with these use parts since some of them might not work I'll be sure to tell you guys what I've replaced it with and what not and then after that we'll be installing some popular games like csgo League of Legends and dota 2 and we were trying to play them at 1080p and see what kind of frame rates we get here's the first piece of the puzzle and the reason why I'm doing this build and that's because I picked up this whole junk PC here for like $12 or something like that was really cheap and initially it was advertised as having an i3 550 in it which would have been great but upon pulling off this heatsink it had no CPU in there at all but that's not a problem because especially with these old-school builds it's actually the motherboard that will cost a lot of the majority of the money and the fact that I picked it up for $12 and got a heatsink with it is very good you okay so we've got the moment of truth here I'm going to turn this seep computer on and see if it boots so let's go ooh that's turning on so it's working like at least there's power going into it okay so I mean usually it takes a few seconds for the signal to come in from the HDMI usually but yeah so I just had the cup there because it was pretty angry anyway we've got no signal so it means that either we have I look it looks like a dead motherboard or a you know I'll try a different HDMI port but I don't think that's the problem usually we'll boot off the motherboard HDMI port so yes looking like it's either the C CPU or the motherboard I'm guessing if you're just getting absolutely nothing out of it they're generally first to go twos but I will start diagnosing some things now I'll switch out the graphics card the RAM and all and check them on other computers and I know this power supply works as well so after I do all that I will then probably have to go get a new motherboard so we're going to be adding costs on to the build as we go okay so the GPU is working perfectly fine that's the $30.00 5850 which is actually really good I'm happy about that and this is on the $40 PC that I built so for dollar PC is definitely doing a great job so now we're going to try and diagnose the motherboard or the CPU so I'm going to try and do what I can in the next few days so just upon taking the CP off and looking at it really closely I can see that like one of these I think it's transistors just completely like crumbled off so I'm pretty sure the CPU is buggered like pretty much got sold like a brick CPU so at this point I'm not sure if it's the motherboard as well which I hope it's not so I might try and just buy a really cheap CPU and see if the mother wood works just install the Seagate hard drive now and I've just really opened up a SSD and done a sequential read and write test there you see there the drive is perfectly healthy it's got 100 megabytes per second on the write speeds and a hundred megabytes per second on the read speeds so the hard drive is good to go alright so we've just booted up the NASS that's my get own ass over there and I put the - - Giggy bytes ticks in that just as the ddr3 board and yeah these are working perfectly fine so so anyway let's move on to the conclusion of part one and actually I didn't want to turn this into a two-part series but I thought I would since a lot of people just love seeing me tamper with junk pieces and use parts and it will actually take me a while to get another CPU in and finish the build and even then I don't know if this motherboard is actually fully functional or not I do have a good feeling that it may work however the good things that came out of this so far is that this graphics card is confirmed working there's no lines going through the screen so it looks like it's working perfectly especially after a good bit of DM or what does it tender loving care TLC and then we've also got the hard drive that works as well so this is another good thing hard drive is working and the memory is working and the power supply working so we've got the basis for a very good budget PC and I'm just hoping that I can get a refund on the CPU since it was just a disaster I mean this thing shouldn't have even been sold in the first place since it's just yeah the transistors live literally crumbled off the CPU and I've never seen that before so I don't know how that happened but suffice to say if we get the refund on this which I kind of don't expect the guy to do that but if we do then we can still keep it around $100 which is awesome and that's if the motherboard works as well so I've got my hopes up stay tuned for part two if you liked this video then please give it a big thumbs up and of course if you want to see part two then make sure you subscribe and I will get back to you as soon as I can with another tech video or some more reviews and used pizza out for now bye
