Build-A-Day #2: the $150 dollar computer

(BUILD-A-DAY DISCLAIMER: None of the Build-A-Day computers come with an operating system, as many people have copies of Windows around their home, or prefer to use a Free operating system such as Ubuntu or Debian. This is intentional. In addition, no computer builds will contain monitors, keyboard, or other peripherals unless otherwise specified.)
- ECS GOAL3+ AMD Sempron 3000+ Micro ATX Motherboard/CPU Combo
- WINTEC AMPO 256MB 184-Pin DDR SDRAM DDR 333 (PC 2700) Desktop Memory
- Western Digital Caviar 40GB 3.5″ IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive
- ASUS Beige E-IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM Drive Model CD-S520/A5
- Linkworld 437-01-C2229 Black/ Champaign Gold Computer Case
Obviously, this computer is nothing that could be considered a powerhouse. However, running Xubuntu or even windows XP, it could be a great for an elderly relative or a child who has no great computer needs.
Your links don’t work.
This looks like shameless associate-click spam
Links work for me. They are affiliate links - however, its still valid information, I don’t see how being affiliate links takes away from that. Newegg pays a 1% commission, if I was going to spam with affiliate links I would go with something that would cover bandwidth costs.
