Buy an Eee on clearance at target for 212 Dollars. Shit you not right now just bought one. Toss 2 gigs of ram in it and upgrade the ssd to 16 gigs and install eeebuntu

>>3930304

WE HAVE A WINRAR!

*CONGRATULATIONS*

>>3930304
Link or it doesn’t exist.

Does it need to include a monitor?

>>3930343
nigger go to newegg nigger

>>3930353
Nope

>>3930343
You have to see what your local target has. The Linux based Eee aren't selling well so are on clearance

$999.91 lol

>>3930234
Wouldnt the easy mode by $300, and nightmare be $5000?

Its easy to scrutinize the quality of a machine when you have literally thousands of different options. At $300, you're pretty much stuck with a atom board, 512 megs of ram and whatever optical/hard drive and case is on sale.

>>3930682
for 300 i got an amd x2 64 6000, 9600gt, 4 gb ram, 250 gb hard drive, case, psu.etc etc Ebay ftw

I would totally use this for work.

Added a Low Profile rule @ HARD MODE

Isn't the Asus mini-ITX 780G board any good?

>>3930652
Did you really need to include the 15ft printer cable?

>>3930234

HOLY FUCK! I never knew such well thought out advices can be stuck to a single image.

I thank whoever that made that image. I am now off to improve on my gaming rig!

>>3930841 Did you really need to include the 15ft printer cable?

Yes, apparently. Newegg attached it to the CPU cooler as a confusingly random "free gift." No way to get rid of it, but it doesn't cost anything anyway.

>>3930841
it comes with the ACP7

what the fuck is this December 2008 bullshit???

There's not anything else I can cut back on without sacrificing quality that I wouldn't be willing to use myself.

>>3931001
Elite 330 and a non-modular power supply.

>>3930991

not true i remember seeing a January one and I think a February one

>>3930912
it's not "free". it costs $7.99, they give you a $7.99 instant savings with the cooler. it's the same thing as that happens with nvidia partner GPUs. when the combo deal ends, the cooler's going to be cheaper

>>3930974
>Rosewill PSU
The best bang for your buck.

>>3931037
hah! I didn't even realize the PSU was modular. I just went for a good price and manufacturer.
