How to Build a $500 Gaming Machine

Posted by Zonk on from the cutting-edge-just-isn't-necessary dept.

bacterial_pus writes "Tom's Hardware has a very interesting article on how to build a $500 gaming rig. 'Instead of the newest killer rig from Alienware, Falcon Northwest, Voodoo, etc... how about a system for the rest of us with a realistic budget starting from scratch? We set out to build a reasonable gaming system that will get you through today's game titles without breaking the bank for around $500.'"

    Then they can't really compare it to other systems, and that "$500" is meaningless. You need an OS for a computer. Are they assuming that we're all pirates?

    You can buy a whole system for 500 prebuilt... Just by a Mini Mac. You can play all sorts of games! The Mac logo puzzle game... Break Out... Super Break Out... Photoshop...
