Wow $72 ???

I have some old computer parts lying around but it would still cost more than that to build a working PC with what i have. I cant imagine being able to buy enough new or even used parts for $72 though lol

Over here with used parts I am certain I wouldn't be able to get anything under $300. I might as well buy a small discontinued computer at Future Shop or even a notebook :P

Here's the article. The specs aren't too good, even for back then. It doesn't have a hard disk, instead it uses a flashdrive for all storage.

Wow, still pretty good for $72, though. As long as it has games ;)

I think there was actually a suggestion in the article to turn it into a gaming computer.

Exactly, it has the Linux-packaged games.

I bet we could get something that can run games like WoW or UT2K4 at medium settings :P

Isn't DSL pretty devoid of a lot of modern features, though?

That $72 PC costed $72 a few years ago. Now most of the parts cost double that. I could build a much better pc than that with just $130, especially if I'm allowed to use spare parts. Plus, it would have enough RAM to run Gnome or at least XFCE :P

and it would have a hard drive. and a case.

Better than a calc? ;)

Lol nice. Personally, I am fairly sure it could be better than a Nspire.
