We've all seen the 'ultimate', 'no upper limit' builds. That results in a $25,000 or $30,000 collection of silly parts.
Whoop de do.
Here is an alternate build question:
How about something that a normal person might actually buy and use.
Create or link to the most inexpensive general use PC you can.
Overall use? email, FB, general browsing, MS Office (Word/Excel/etc)
Think of your grandmothers usage.
Rules:
1. Must include the OS. Windows 7 or 8. No Upgrade or Student versions. No 'key resellers'. Must be from an authorized, verifiable reseller, delivering actual install media.
2. Must be able to run MS office 2010 or later
3. Must be all new parts, released in the last 12 months
4. Mail in Rebate price reductions not allowed
5. Prebuilt systems are fine. If something from Walmart or BestBuy fits, fine
6. It must actually work!
This is primarily directed at a USA audience, but if you want to include something from elsewhere, go for it.
