The $50 People’s PC

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.)

    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.

    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.
