This is something that can be easily found on Google
Just search for the pc with the best processing power with low electrical cost/usage around 2008.

It's actually a tricky question, you could go for this list:

Remember it's not just hashes per second but also price per hash, so best is not always the fastest.

That aside getting the best CPU would actually be less of an advantage than being the first one to write the code to mine with a gpu!

You can check it out.
In their list i would lean towards HP HDX18 for its processing power.

Most of the discussions related to Bitcoin in the early days are here. All you need to do is scraping data from mining boards^[1][2][3] and then analyze the names of the hardware and devices that were mentioned during 2010 to 2013.
