Trying to build WORST COMPUTER EVER!!!

[Gameplay Rush]

Hey guys!

Searching for the worst and cheapest of every bit of hardware imaginable to built "THE WORST COMPUTER EVER!" for a possible YouTube video.

I know this might sound a bit strange, seeing as 99% of pc users are trying to make the best system ever. But I mean, who wants a working system anyway?

 

Anyway, a few things I've been able to find so far are:

Intel Celeron M Processor

NVIDIA’s GeForce 7600GT

HP mini-ITX 5188-5155 Desktop Motherboard Intel Socket 479 945GT Chipset DD 

 

I'm not sure if the cpu was originally in laptops, but it was released in 2004 and was as shit as they get.

 

Ill be booting off a usb (hopefully) and I've got a power supply and case somewhere. Still need to find some ram, got no idea what I'm looking for since this tech is so old (ddr or ddr2?)

 

Anyway, Cheers

 

*UPDATE*

Found some new parts:

Intel Pentium Processor E2200 CPU

256mg DDR2 533MHZ

DELL OPTIPLEX 780 SFF MOTHERBOARD INTEL Q45 CHIPSET SOCKET LGA775

Gigabyte nVidia G210 1GB Graphics Card

 

If anyone has anything weaker, let me know

I don't think that motherboard and CPU will work together, the motherboard is an LGA socket, that CPU is BGA.

Yeah. I just noticed that when I uploaded the post. I'm quite sure the cpu is only for laptops. But than again, ive got no idea what I'm doing when it comes to all this old tech

Anyone can use mis-matched parts and call it the worst computer ever because they obviously won't work, in which case i think this a bit of a pointless thread.

Define "worst" - in what way? I have a system lower spec than proposed... you need to define what the goal is. 

[Potato*Salad]

Worst would be something along the lines of a Pentium Dual Core with a Fermi GTX 480.

And a low quality PSU.

Celeron Processor w/ 2 GTX 1080's

a GTX 480 is slightly superior to a GTX 750ti... so still delivers too much performance to be defined as bad even if it was a very power hungry card with known thermal issues.

Why so generous with the ram and the power supply?

 

The worst computer could be made for less than $25 if you buy all used parts.  Do some craigslist digging and look for a free working hdd and like an amd apu bundle

Id say power supply, ram, and even cpu could be dropped down further. As for the case, well.... Why not a shitty box. Would go well with the hardware

Celeron 1,5GHz (180nm)
128MB SDRAM
GeForce 256 SDR 64-bit

If you want 64-bit support
Celeron D 326
256MB DDR2
GeForce 4 MX4000
Probably won't be able to play YT at 240/360p.

Get a P4, put Windows 10 on it and try to do some productive work. Done.

Why Pentium 4 ?
Celeron D should be fine as well

The "worst gaming computer ever" would be something like an R3-1200 with a GTX Titan XP and 64GB of memory. Or an i7-7820X with an RX 550 and 4GB of memory.

[seon123]

I mean, this is technically a computer... Since it seems like you're going for low performance as the metric for bad, rather than bad for the time, bad value, unbalanced system, etc
