What kind of a computer can I get for 177$?

[Monocle]

Not as impossible as it sounds.

$175 and it'll run modern games handily.  

Acquire case, power supply, optical drive, keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard drive, and operating system from current computer or dumpster.

The celeron would not be able to handle current games "handily", it would over heat super fast and not to mention a 2000 processor is bottlenecking the hell out of that GPU.


But that is a solid build for that price.

a dual 2.6 for 50 bucks aint bad for any purpose

It is unlikely that a 65 watt processor will overheat.

A phone. Or an old ass computer with 512 MB of RAM and a tiny hard drive.

Something like this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=5387476&CatId=5139

This is why dual monitor support needs to be more common.

Here is a cheap little case for the PC, only 25 bucks.

It's an IDE hard drive mobo, so here, I guess. It's kinda small, but anything more would cost a lot because these are old.

Power Supply

Snag a copy of Windows 7, A keyboard and mouse, an optical drive which I don't think is needed, and you are ready to go.


If you want to spend a little more money for an IDE HDD, go with This hard drive.


Oh, if any of you are wondering, right now he has a 1.6 Ghz intel atom notebook.

I was wondering how long it would take someone to learn what my computer was, as much as I posted it..

I've known that since like January, lol, over a skype call. What do you think of that build? The processor is a little weak, I would go for a Dual Core pentium, actually.

Here!

[Lugnut]

I honestly don't know what I think of it. I think that the fact that nearly anything is better than where I'm currently standing, its not bad.

[Jorici]

Can you get on steam? (I'll be afk for a minute, though.)

Also, the only flaw I see with the build at that price is the IDE. I'm no fan of IDE.

[Lugnut]

I can get on Skype, not to voice though.

Windows NT.
I got my Windows 98 12 years ago.
