This is my extra computer I built for both experimenting with linux as well as for bringing over to friends' houses for party games and the like. I built it out of mostly used parts I had available through either liquidation sales or old builds. I'm hoping to upgrade the RAM in the future.$102.96 -

This PC came from a case that has housed AMD builds from old athalons, to FX and now a Ryzen 5600 G (awaiting a graphics card) Designed from an old case with a cut out window, and improved airflow, it fits both the aesthetic and sleeper styles. Designed for gaming and lower end graphic design use, with intent for a future graphics card to run games in max settings.$440.97 -

How to Convince Your Dad that a Black... How to Convince Your Dad that a Black Friday Laptop is Not Worth the Time Anymore

My dad started out in this country as a software engineer, working on various projects from large contractor companies that essentially brought in tons of immigrants to fill contract needs in the 70s and 80s. He now works as a Project Manager in the development/software sector, but has always been familiar with computing and best practices. Come black friday season, he's usually interested in picking up a new laptop to manage his personal work. I usually see him go through these every 2-3 years, and this past year he asked me what laptop I think he should get. I bet him that I could spent less on a custom built PC that is more powerful and capable than a laptop, and would far outlive the life of the laptop as well as the period of time it takes for a machine to "feel slow". What ensued over the next three days was a debate of the ages, similar to those of Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates. He showed off tempting deals--mobile platforms with Ryzen 7 CPUs, high fidelity displays, long battery life, warranties. I returned by pointing out benchmarks of those CPUs, the lower clock speed of the memory modules, the ineffective cooling capability of the chassis. Finally, our great debate resulted in a close with a wager. That I could successfully build a complete machine with peripherals for under 500 USD that would outmatch the laptops he was interested in, even in ranges of 600-700 in price. Ultimately, we're both quite happy with the resulting build. He primarily uses the computer for office and productivity related work. He was using a Dell Inspiron 22 3263 that was an AIO desktop solution. He had been struggling with load times, processing times, and the ability to print 50+ page documents (as he also side hustles as a notary) without the computer crashing. Looking back, perhaps I could have gone with a lower memory package, but for the cost and the spec it was a great deal! If it was an intensive gaming build, I definitely would have sprung for a silver or gold standard PSU, but with the given warranty and the use case, I thought this was fine. With additional savings, I would have installed an NVME SSD to act as a boot drive, then added in some HDD TB drives for storage, but we had plenty of old drives lying around to recycle into this build, so there was no need. I also learned that I love building in mATX cases! My own build uses a full size ATX case, and I feel that the cable management gets messy as it is with that much room. In this case, I just left the rats nest of cables as is because there's not that much space anyways, so who cares!$475.74 -

I started off with a console and found myself hitting a cap on my gaming skills and decided it was time for an upgrade. I worked a bit harder and pooled some money together after watching countless youtubers build budget systems using Dell Optiplex's but upon agreeing to my dad to check out the micro center, I was shocked! I quickly sold my xbox and a few of my old games and shoes and headed down to micro center and found the best motherboard cpu deals! If I win, I will use the money to purchase the all new RTX 3070 which has a starting price of exactly 499$ and will be a huge step up from my GTX 1650 Super!$546.44 -

Wanted to build an affordable pc, that I could use for everyday tasks and light gaming with a small form factor. Pretty much immediately decided that the best way to do so would be using a custom case out of only materials on-hand (cardboard box), and an APU (graphics card shortage is real). Beyond that I'd try and bargain hunt best as possible to get the remaining components (MOBO, PSU, RAM, and storage) at an affordable cost. Overall a fun setup that I hope will last a while with components that I can gradually upgrade over time.$560.96 -

It started showing its age, particularly in Modern Warfare and on a couple emulators that really benefited from more threads/better IPC. Despite reaching 60 frames on most titles, the stutters were absolutely abysmal and it was clear the old i5 was bottle-necking my RX 580. I'm not a hardcore gamer so apart from emulators, the most intensive games that I currently have are Black Desert Online, Modern Warfare, Borderlands 3, and GTA V but I'm positive I'd be able to run the newer AAA games like Battlefield 2042 at an acceptable and consistent enough frame-rate. I built this around Christmastime 2020. I was lucky enough to be chosen for Honey's promotion at that time so I was able to get $250 from them. The motherboard was on sale, the CPU and case was not. But since I had the other parts for the build already from my old system, I think the $250 was just enough to get all three. I *could've* gone for a 6 core but I ended up deciding with a Ryzen 3 3100 as a stopgap solution. Plus any modern processor from the last 3-4 years is an upgrade to the i5-4570. Why AMD? I honestly wanted to go Intel since their six cores at the time went for $140-160. The reason why I didn't was because there were no Intel motherboards that had memory overclocking at the time. So I went with AMD just because I thought it would be better value, at least motherboard wise. So if you think about it, I only really paid for the parts OTHER than the mobo, case, and CPU. Most of which I got on sale/at a reduced price.$605.92 -

I made it for gaming at the same time I made it for school and I always used a laptop so this was a huge upgrade for me, I had to get all of the money on my own to build this PC. I love to play Grand Theft Auto Five and other games like Farming Sim and lots of other Sims. I like to maybe upgrade my CPU or my GPU or get new fans if I get the money or sell my pc and then recreate a whole new one with a bigger budget.$615.93 -

Due to the shortages I had to settle for integrated graphics, but the majority of my computer is made of quality parts. Because of my limited resources for gaming, I don't play very demanding games (at least not run them very well.) So I stick to the easier to run stuff like Minecraft, Phasmophobia, Devour, and Inscryption. I do occasionally play Red Dead Redemption 2 (It's one of my favorite games and I originally played it on Xbox 1.) but it's very choppy. I plan on getting a decent graphics card ranging from a 1660 to a 3060 Ti depending on how much money I can muster up. I also would like to switch to an ITX form factor in the future, but that won't be for a long time. In hindsight though I'm very happy with my part choices and how it looks.$638.96
