A $100 build.

[TechDookie]

I'm building a budget PC under $100. I've encountered some problems finding a MOBO for a cheap price. Any good boards that would fit a Pentium or Intel?

 

Maybe I could venture into the AMD land. Not sure.

impossible without going used..

[Bob Jim]

That is absolutely infeasible.

impossible without going used..

Oh... well what if I get a $40 processor a $20 or so PSU and then have $40 for MOBO?

 

The MOBO is holding me back.

Yea not happening, what about memory or a case.

RAM? HDD/SSD? OS? CASE?

Friend gave me 4 gigs of DDR2 and I've got an 80 gigabyte HDD. As for the case, I will probably hold off from purchasing one.

It's going to be super hard to find a new motherboard that supports DDR2.

According to PC parts picker it does not exist.

Cheapest possible build I can do (I don't really recommend it) but it's got reasonable, no absolute junk parts, from intel is:

It would be worth it to spend 30$ more and get a decent processor.

With no idea what POS psu is in there.. it can be done.. but you shouldn't.. you can get much better performance used..

 

This is the cheapest amd build I'd go.. you said you have ddr3 and hdd and don't need a case..

That is the cheapest psu I'd use.. in anything..

 

Also, worth going 4GB ram.. 1 is just going to suck...

Kind to offer, but I doubt I can go used... Parents are skeptical of anything used.
