$100 Computer Build Challenge?

[AzteK]

The $100 computer build challenge! Sounds interesting... Is it possible though? I mean, Its suppose to have all the basic computer components like CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Case, etc. and the price is not suppose to go over $100. Peripherals like a Sound Card, or a Mouse is acceptable, but the goal is to not go over $100. You can use PCPartPicker, Amazon, TigerDirect, ect. links to show me the builds.  Challenge Accepted? 

 

 

By the way, photos of you building the real thing would be Awesome!

 

Edit: To make this harder, No Used Parts!

[acidydragon]

Yeah... No?

A hard drive alone is half that budget.

[DoubleY]

I literally don't think that's possible. But we'll see... 

[RubyRoks]

not my work, but here you go

[The Crazed Child]

Even a Kabini machine couldn't add up to be at least $100.

I chose nothing but the cheapest parts on PCP, and got over 200 dollars (this has a Hard Drive, unlike the video above.)

A 25 dollar, 20gb drive... Apologies.

 

Is 20gb enough for an OS?

[StareX]

yes it is...

besides, that's the point in 100 dollars budget (To very .. uhh, unlogical people.)

[acidydragon]

yes it is...

Interesting. So, I guess you could get a cheaper HDD (20gb...), but still, thats 1/4 your budget (or you can get the 80gb one I linked with my build, that is again 25dollars.), The CHEAPEST case I could find is 5 bucks (after 15 dollar MIR)...

 

I'll look more.

[Guest]

I just tried and even with a 80 gb hd and outdated parts it kept coming up to just over $100.

[The Crazed Child]

What about cheapest PC with a GTX 780? Now that is a challenge, especially if you configure it so there is no bottlenecks.
