The lady said it didn't work but in fact 1 of the 2 sticks of ram was defective so I removed it and put another one. Sold that pc for 90 BRL just yesterday and bought another one with that money, I'm gonna fix it up and resell for a profit and keep doing this until I have enough to upgrade my main rig.

    To be honest, with a bit of patience and skilled hands, you could essentially build or modify a case so that it can fit that exact motherboard as it is, screws and everything.
    So if anyone doesnt mind having a low-end PC, they could more or less get one for free, provided that they can find shops with this old proprietary stuff in stock when they have no use for them.

    It can run MS Office and you can check your email. This really shows that if you need a functional computer, at all, you can get one.
    Only issues would be getting an OS and a monitor. Someone needing something like this likely isn't going to know about/how to use Linux.
    I was able to get a really nice 24" 1080p Dell monitor for free because it had a scratch on it and the craigslister didn't need it, but I think that was an anomaly. Thrift store monitor is usually about $10 and a square.

    What a beast for $1.29. Case designers could certainly learn a thing or two about airflow with this design as well.
    All jokes aside, It's nice to see what such a low budget can get you in terms of nostalgia gaming.
    Personally, I'm slowly working on my "Free" PC build. I've been working on it for nearly 9 months now and basically when I go out to buy a PC component for a build I make to sell later on, I ask the seller if they have any old or dead hardware they don't want and if I can take it home for free. So far everything I've gotten has actually worked.
    This so far has netted me 2 sticks of 2GB DDR3, an LGA1150 motherboard with a Pentium G3258 and stock cooler, a PSU from an old Dell workstation (400W I believe) an HD 2400 256MB Graphics card, and an HD Firepro card. Still working on getting a hard drive.
    I also scored an incredibly old laptop for free. It looks like it's an IBM Thinkpad 775 which remarkably still powers on. Unfortunately it also does not have a hard drive.

Should recap them and power them on someday....hmmm. Used to play Lemmings and Populous on the 8595 all the time.

    The good thing about this machine is you can reboot it and enter the bios setup and go select CPU compatibility ?? anyway it turns the memory cache off and the machine runs much slower more like a 386dx or 486sx - great for those older games that just run to fast.
    Of course it is no good for XT-AT speed sensitive games set to 4.77M but a have a slowdown tsr for that that adds wait states to the memory
