Basically just the CPU fan, case, and PSU (if you're lucky). If someone can figure out how to get Doom running on just those 3 things, young people will be able to ascend.

Have CPUs or motherboards gone up much? At that point you just lack RAM. Can you boot an OS with just CPU cache?

Also if you want Doom, just about any second hand machine will be fine.
