I've bought much cheaper computers off of eBay and some of them weren't even auctions. They were "Buy It Now" listings. Recently, I bought a lot of two thin client PCs for a total of $14.02 USD and the funniest part was that despite the PCs both being in very poor cosmetic condition and one of them was super dusty, they worked just fine and the hard drives weren't removed. Luckily, the hard drives were wiped. It's amazing how cheap computers can get on eBay.

[@EvilTurkeySlices]

It’s really luck of the draw. Sometimes you can get them for really cheap, other times they are more pricy. My best deal was probably getting a thinkpad t530 for $140 including upgrades. It was only $30 for the base system. It came with a dual core i5 and 4gb of ram, but I upgraded it to a quad core i7 and 16gb of ram. It was even the model with the dedicated NVS 5400m. They aren’t great dedicated graphics, but better than the igpu.

Ssd are the saving grace for old computers, I know a lot of people that got rid of their older computers because it felt so slow but if you upgrade the storage for an SSD instead of a aging hdd, it makes it feel like a brand new system most of the time, and for browsing and stuff it's still is perfectly usable

yeah the controller issue is that by default Windows 7 doesn't include Xbox controller drivers, in fact, back in the day when Microsoft sold Xbox 360 controllers "for Windows" they were just a regular 360 controller but with a DVD that included the driver, some third party controllers also included a driver disc, I had one and it came with a little disc to install the drivers, but since my laptop at the time didn't have a DVD drive I had to download them from the internet, turned out the controller didn't use any sort of specific drivers, it was just an Xbox 360 controller and used the Xbox controller drivers

People who watch smaller content creators and just compare them to bigger content creators kind of ticks me off. Yes, that's probably who inspired them to be a content creator. Just because you see similarities doesn't mean they're trying to copy that person's video's

they both seem inspired by Druaga anyways. And Druaga was probably inspired by someone else. There's no such thing as a wholey unique idea.

Got my current machine (HP 290 G1) from eBay earlier this year for about £50 ($63.91), has a 7th gen i5 processor with a 256GB SSD (had a fresh copy of 10 on it) and 8GB of RAM. After upgrading it to 16GB of RAM and installing a GTX 1650, it's now a pretty capable entry level gaming PC that can play some of the newer titles to a decent enough level and it's super quick! The SSD really made a difference! It really shows how cheap you can buy an office PC from sites like eBay and how you can turn them into a pretty solid modern day machine.

[@Jordan4Ibanez]

[@nostalgiachase]

My dad found 2 computers almost exactly like that in a dumpster at his work. neither of them would boot until I put different ram sticks in them. The only difference between them and your computer was the sticker said Windows 7 instead of 8. The hard drives had been wiped, so I installed Windows 7 on them, and it barely worked, but when I installed Linux, it worked like a charm.

My first brand new PC was an i7 of this generation. They still hold up very well today. Just need a GPU and you can fly with that little guy. Something like a 1050Ti doesn't need PCI-E power connectors!

He uses it mostly with Autocad.

To get the Xbox 360 controller working, you need the Xbox 360 controller for windows software.

This is kind of the "issue" the PCs nowadays. Some $20 crap like this is absolutely enough for most peoples daily use. I say issue but it's really awesome for consumers, less so for the giant companies.

[@fexywexy8425]

This gen of towers kinda sucks unfortunately, they overheat and if you mess with the ram too much, it can actually kill the board, a good thing tho is that there’s so much of them you can just swap it out with another one when it breaks

[@Simpfey]

I literally use the same one pc as you do for gaming and home use except I swapped the ram for 8 gb, except that and disk swap its stock, pretty shit but I don't have money for anything else since my family's pretty poor, pretty shit but good enough

[@Dragzilla66]

If $50 is cheapest then we are definitely in a financial crisis.

Get another 4gb stick and put a nvidia quadro k620 in it and it will be able to play games up until 2018 or so. That gpu is extremely cheap on the second hand market and the performance is great

[@gt1man931]

All it needs is a SFF gpu that you can get for 40 bucks and it will game much better, at least for a year or win10 is done. The win10 thing is why these kinds of builds are pointless now. The bar has been set to 8th gen intel or whatever AMD is win11 capable. Any dollar spent of a CPU before then is money burned now.

[@alop7563]

funny thing, i found one outside for free! with 3 other computers, all of them work, 1 of them was a thinkcenter model m! it was supposed to lay on its uh bottom not side.. it has the same cpu as yours and 4gb of ram aswell! very cool! and theres a different sticker that says "windows 8 pro downgraded to windows 7 pro" so probably the sticker got pulled off? and yes its the exact same model as mine!
