My $140 PC!

I went to my local pawn shop and for a few months they have had the same 2 towers. One was a beat up HP that was pretty much stock. I think. Anyway, the other tower is some sort of off brand mid tower that has a plastic front panel and the rest of the chassis is steel. I will put up some pics later lol. So the HP they didn't know if it worked and they were asking $40, the sketchy mid tower was also $40 and they didn't know if it worked either. So knowing they were here for a while i too advantage of them a bit and offered them 5 bucks for the both of them. The guy let me take them for what later ended up being a good deal of $20. So i got home and plugged the HP in first. Celeron... Ewww. Although the motherboard is a Asus Manufactured IPIBL-LB on the G31 Chipset which, i guess is okay? Haha, it at least had the 4GB of DDR2 so that was okay and it also provided my 500GB HD. As well as my power supply. Now, for the sketchy Mid Tower... Blue Screen.... Oh well, open up bios. Oh BTW its a cheep Intel motherboard with only 2 dim slots. But... Q8400!!!!!! I was pretty stoked. So i did my research, the Asus motherboard obviously won my heart because of the 4 dimm slots vs the 2 n the intel plus it supports up to 4GB and the Asus lets me go up to 8GB. i used the Mid Tower instead of the HP because cable management. The 500GB HD, and i mismatched the ram from both for a total of 6GB. Yes they were the same speed. So i had some more cash to spend so since i only have a junk 300 watt power supply, i am pretty limited on graphics card options. So i opted for the GTX 750 Ti from EVGA. With its 640 Cuda Cores and 2GB GDDR5 It is going to give me good low end gaming performance. Leaving me at a $140 bucks i'm pretty impressed. 

 

Final Specs:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 @2.66 GHz

6GB of DDR2 RAM

500GB HDD

That's a sweet build for the price, but what will you do when Win 10 is released? Maybe buy a code off G2A and torrent a Windows disc..?
