Anyone think they can build a computer for under $150 without using second hand parts and has these min specs:


CPU: 1.5Ghz or above
1GB Ram or above
Video Card: support 32bit 1280*960 or better

Also a screen would be preferred but not 100% necessary

I kind of doubt it's possible

No secondhand parts?
And we're talking

PSU
GPU
CPU
Ram
Motherboard
Case?

The whole thing 0_0 well everything necessary to function properly

Maybe but why? Save your money and build something that will be able to browse the net atleast

Providing it meets the min reqs i posted i can play (offline)games on it fine and that's all i want

How is a screen not necessary?

[rockage]

Newegg.com or tigerdirect would be the place to start....but 150 is kinda unheard of. Most peoples gpu's are more than that.

You can try to buy a cheap notebook for around 200 on black friday...

Lol doubling the amount you can spend makes quite a difference.

[Fatal]

Yeah definitely, even 150 > 200 makes a difference, sometimes even 150 > 170, a smaller difference.

buy one of those 100$ african laptops

[rockage]

They aren't african...

But that could be a good thing to do, although they are 400 dollars (buy one, donate one). you can read about it here though: http://laptop.org/en/

[ktakeito]

you could prolly do one for like 300 but not 150
