Everyone raving about those cheap and affordable PC. There’s the $100 laptop from MIT, then another $149 personal server called KuroBox (266Mhz PowerPC processor, 128MB of RAM, 2 USB 2.0 Ports, and a 10/100/1000Mbit network interface but no HDD yet).
So, I’d like to introduce my own People’s PC for only $50.
Intel Pentium 133Mhz
540MB Seagate HDD
32MB RAM
1 x 3.5″ floppy drive
4x CDROM drive
1 parallel port
2 serial port
8MB ATI Rage PCI card
* keyboard and mouse included.
There are still a lot of them still in use by banks and government offices all over the country. Grab one now at your nearest bodega sale (see one at the Pioneer in Mandaluyong.)
I have one right here beside me. It can’t even run a decent linux installation. Ultra miminal installation siguro pero halos wala kang magagawa dun.
but… it’ll take 10 years for the PC to boot!
doesnt we have a people’s pc already that runs under intel’s celeron which was released last year for P14,000 and up?? no joke, GMA supported it too
nice. I’d like to get me one of those. lol
ano ba yan?! kahit ata ung soliataire hindi ka makakalaro diyan hehe 32mb RAM bago 4x cd ano ba yan?! hehehehhe bago 133mhz lang hehe kahit pagbukas mo ng notepad diyan lag kagad hehe
what will i do with it? stare at it? kung gusto niyo ng mga computer kagaya sa mga banko, office at airport bili na lang kayo ng Dell mas maganda pa.
