Don't fuck with your working Windows PC. Then install, break, reinstall software as much as you want. Slowly migrate over time to ONLY using Linux. You will learn a lot. |

It's been awhile, but once so many people were routinely gettin new pcs that I would clean 'em up and give 'em to poor people and they worked just fine. You don't need the newest pcs unless you got money to waste and probably are an obsessed gamer. IF there were decent wargames now, I might buy one,but it's a big waste of money at a time of extreme uncertainty. That demonstrates a lack of common sense wasting money when literally might happen to tank the economy. |

There were some really great local PC donation stores around in many metro areas until the "plague" hit. I loved them! Those have all been closed. Honestly, for old PCs, those in the best conditions are from families getting rid of PCs when they buy new, so Craigslist is my top choice. Peace |

Buy an old Dell PC for about $100 dollars or less and install Linux on it for web browsing. I have an old mac pro that I keep around and it's 9 years old and still kills it. Quoting: BFD 8 core 2.33 ghz 32 gb of ram... you can pick one up for like 400 bucks last I checked. Shit of it is, you can't update the OSX past Mavericks. I just took one of those to the dump. A 2007 model, 8 cores. Ya, it's nice hardware (those drive bays are sex), but the thing generates soooooo much damn heat. Between the old CPU's and the ECC buffered memory, they got way too much pouring out. If it used a standard ATX layout I would have saved the case, but even that requires a lot of work to make an ATX case work....and you loose all the nice layout inside. |
