November 2010 Poor Man's Computer

If you want a decent computer, yet are extremely tight on a budget you too can have a computer.  This computer has very little it can do when it comes to gaming, however, if you turn all of the settings on low, you might be able to get away with running games like World of Warcraft, or Starcraft.

Since this computer is part of a barebone kit I found already put together, all you need to do is pick up the one kit, and you have everything you need to get started.  If you don't have a copy of Windows, you'll need to get that as well as this kit doesn't include Windows.

The power supply actually does come with the kit, but, let's just say there's a reason there is another listed.  I strongly suggest you buy the power supply as well and discard the one that came with the kit.  If you want to try it, feel free, but if you have trouble, that's where to look first.

TIP! This kit will definitely benefit from Windows Readyboost, if you don't have a USB pen drive, you might want to add that to the list.
