what can you get for $2 well quite a lot actually you can get a Snickers you get a Powerade or you can get a copy of Just Dance for the Wii or even a copy of big mother truckers to truck me harder well you could get yourself a dusty old PC that could possibly play league of legends this PC right beside me here we picked it up in one of 15 pcs that we got for $30 I'll put the video up here if you haven't seen it already but essentially this one had a graphics card and a hard drive and it's dirty and old so we're gonna give it some tech yes loving that is just clean it up and then boot it up install windows unactivated and then see if it indeed will be out of play League of Legends let's go on this journey we're gonna pull this PC apart now we've got our trusty data vac on top some alcohol wipes if we need to clean off the dirt and to give it a new look shine we've got some water dispersant so let's make it brand new I know you may have heard once in another for the police Tek yes give me more get that wipe clap it in tight it's gonna take you on a journey don't do that to she names dawn you heard my binds in the rx5 wd-40 so finished cleaning up all the parts here and the scariest one was probably the greatest car which had hard thermal paste on it and it's really important to change this over because now I gravis card won't overheat and it'll run fine with this computer we've also managed to pull out from another build an e 5400 Pentium dual core so we're to put that inside here because that'll allow us to have a higher clock speed and essentially get more FPS in League of Legends providing the gravis card is not holding the build back we've also still got to clean up the PC case to make everything look as good as possible hundred so here we are now we're trying to get it to boot and it just keeps giving us problem after problem we've tried a hard drive and print stalling on ID windows on it doesn't work because it's buyers only has a de andrade mode but the problem is it just won't even boot it won't even recognize the boot itself so this is troublesome because it was all ready to go it was looking good but thankfully we have a ton of other pcs here so we're gonna find a motherboard that can actually boot and we'll transplant that into this case because I really want to see our play League of Legends so we've now got this thing booted up on the original hard drive that we were using and the original graphics card so it looks like it was indeed that motherboard and stuff like that that can happen because it may be bit rot or just aged in general and we'll talk about that later in the conclusion but here we are here we've got League of Legends it's finally installing and I just can't wait to boot it up and see if I too-tall a PC kind of it's probably not $2.00 now but since we are using different parts but so now we're finally on this game installed but there's just one big problem and that's the game won't even load like I've been stuck here on this screen for probably almost ten minutes now so I feel really sorry for my teammates here even on the right revolver he was like loading up a lot slower than the others were but I was seriously beating him by a longshot so yeah I'm gonna try and get a game of this booted up then we can see how much FPS we're getting in the game but other than that like $2 what are you doing to me all right so we've got to load it up here and this is just so bad it's probably I'd have to guess like 5 fps or something like that it's ridiculous so I'm guessing it could be the graphics card since it was going from like 1 FPS to 5 once we dropped it from medium settings to high settings now I've got one of these sitting around it's one of graphics cards someone just threw it in the past so as a last resort I'm gonna try this card out and if all else fails then I'm just gonna take this thing out back along with the other 2 pcs that didn't work properly and just start feeding them so we put in the Quadro and the exact same things happening the FPS is just super low we've even tried putting in six gigabytes of RAM tried different sticks of memory everything and the Nvidia K 400 Quadro that should be more than capable of running this game at least at 720p 60fps so at this stage I'm done let's move over to a conclusion with this it's just been such a frustrating day so with that little interlude aside I managed to salvage all the parts out of the builds the screws the solder cables the power supplies also the CPUs as for the main boards they're really old and that's the problem with LGA 775 itself if you're going to go with this architecture make sure you get something like a zoo speed five cure something that shouldn't have many compatibility problems it shouldn't have any boot issues and it should be able to take a gigabytes of ddr2 and a new a quad core you should be able to get decent performance even in 2018 out of a build like that but the builds we had here today just wouldn't accept newer CPUs we tried out a 2006 Core 2 Duo on the first build and that wouldn't even boot even with its original CPU and then we went over to the next build and that was the exact same motherboard and setup as the first build and that managed to boot this time around and we decided to put in 6 gigabytes of RAM this time just to let the game boot up and see if it would work and so we got into Windows and it only recognized 3.2 5 gigabytes of ddr2 and now I tried everything on these first two builds tried clearing the CMOS tried a new CMOS battery tried different CPUs different memory and it just ended up on the second build it just wouldn't get past the load screen and we got stuck at a hundred percent and also apologized to the four other dudes out there who I left out in the dark sorry about that and after this I decided we'll give it one more try I want to get League of Legends working on one of these old potatoes and so at this point in time I think the build tallies up to 6 dollars and we've put in the graphics card and this time around everything's working 6 gigabytes of ddr2 is being recognized the problem was in this bill that would only accept a 2005 Core 2 Duo we tried the one from 2006 which had the higher clock speeds and it got into the game and we got from literally from 1 to 5 FPS depending on the settings and now we had it on low spec mode windows was completely optimized 60 bytes of ddr2 was being recognized and we had on the absolute lowest settings and we're getting like 5 fps and then we tried I said ok maybe it's a grep Scott tried something else and it was still doing the exact same thing and it's just so frustrating this is why generally don't like to touch the older stuff where things should technically work but they don't as opposed to the original five-dollar League of Legends PC this one today clearly failed the original one was so good I really enjoyed that we actually got a smooth playable experience out of it at least on League of Legends and this one today we just completely failed wouldn't even play League of Legends I mean it might be out of play solitaire or something like that but I don't think many people are in the market for a solitaire gaming PC but all that aside I hope you enjoyed today's video if you did then be sure to hit that like button also let us know in the comments section below what is the most frustrating experience you've had with tech love reading your thoughts and opinions as always and also let us know what you think of the $2 PC I mean the concept was good the build looked awesome I gave it a lot of tech yes loving but in the end it just didn't work out and yeah don't ask me in the future to touch LGA 775 I'm kind of I just I'm done with it because even the first gen I series it I just never get anywhere near the amount of problems that I do with LGA 775 so I'm not doing this to myself anymore maybe a p5q or something like that maybe but other than that I'll catch you in another tech video very soon these out for now bye and looking back in hindsight I much prefer these Snickers the Powerade big mother truckers all we danced over this two-dollar PC here today unfortunately you
