A $100 PC...for Elden Ring!

by onotech Posted on: 11/7/2022

Build Description

This was a fun challenge. I wanted to build a $100 PC that could play Elden Ring...and by "play" I mean good enough where I could at least beat a boss. And we did it! Performance wasn't spectacular (we were in the 20-25 FPS range on the lowest settings, 1080p), but it technically worked. It was really hard to do, but we got it done :)

Favorite Feature

I love how there isn't any wasted space in the computer. The components fit snugly and it looks full!
