$100 Gaming PC

jman116

Yes, it's true- $100 dollars.

How is this possible? A local company (which my father is an IT at) uses Lenovo desktops and laptops all the time, and just has tons of old hardware lying around.

I fix up T500's and ship them off to friends (currently a Freshman in HS), Have a Lenovo M58p non-slim with a

Intel Core 2 Duo (3GHZ),

4GB ram,

447GB across 2 HD's(next upgrade),

Evga Geforce GT 730,

and a netgear PowerLine for internet.

 

 

The only thing I purchased was the Geforce, and for the 79$ pricetag, it works wonderfully.(2gb GDDR5 version)

I scavenged everything else, 2gb ram, a harddrive, the powerline, even the TV I'm using as a monitor is scavenged.

This is all running... 64-Bit Vista, Which I LOVE and most hate because of the slow performance. I will be upgrading to Windows 10 following the HD upgrade.

Technically its a $79.99 price-tag, not $100.

Beat that Scrapyard Wars!

but can it run crysis?

Lol, just checked and yes, it can at recommended... on CYRI it says I can run it at Recommended but the graphics card is somehow 'under' even though the specs for it match up...
