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.
