To begin, some backstory. I often play games with some real life friends, and one of them has an awful laptop that cant even run CS:GO at minimum settings. We would make fun of this laptop and call it a microwave. After one of us got a random handed down motherboard and CPU, we decided to build a new computer for him that was extremely bad as well but free. I then had the excellent idea of putting said computer inside of a microwave. Thus began the months long journey of finding all the parts and putting them together.

As of 8pm GMT on the 10th of November 2019, this project is now complete. We met up and finally ran the final tests to ensure all the hardware worked, and assembled it inside of the microwave.

Specs:
CPU: i3-3220 @ 3.30GHz
CPU Cooler: Intel Stock Cooler
Graphics Card: GT 610
MB: Asus P8H61-1 R2.0
PSU: 400W Dell (from a broken pre-built)
OS Storage: 256GB SATA SSD
Secondary Storage: 320GB 5400RPM HDD
RAM: 12GB DDR3 (unknown frequency)

Overall, all the parts inside of the computer were 100% free. A small amount of money (around £10-£20) was spent on hardware that ended up not going inside of the build.

We only had time to test it with 2 games, but it was able to achieve a solid 60FPS on max settings on Murder Miners, as well as 60fps solid on medium settings on CS:GO.

Feel free to ask questions about the project below.

Also why did you put a really expensive SSD into the microwave?
It was from an old laptop, and is a pretty bad SSD which already had windows pre-installed.
Also yeah it isn't that expensive for SSDs anymore - my internal 240GB SSD was £30

Amazing!
Small suggestion: A bell *ting* sound as the windows boot sound, to finish that microwave look-and-feel.
You can move the timer dial back and forth to make it ding still :p
Maybe one day make it work on boot-up
