Miss Valeska Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 Okay, So, I've been looking for a long time for an okayish computer that is either free, Or under seventy dollars for my friend. If anyone has anything like this, Or can find anything like this, Please please let us know. I have, So far, Determined from the dell auction website. That the Dell OptiPlex 780 is good enough for what we need. However, It's retail price is about two hundred and fifty dollars, Although, You can find it on auction for as low as twenty dollars. That price usually jumps though, If anyone has this computer specifically it would be greatly appreciated to buy or something like that. If anyone can find one, That would be really good too. If you can find or have anything free or under seventy dollars though, It would be greatly appreciated to look at it, Thank you for reading.
Nielsio2 Posted June 19, 2013 Posted June 19, 2013 You can get a 1.6ghz dual core Android stick for under $50. http://liliputing.com/2013/05/smartcandy-android-tv-stick-is-one-of-the-smallest-yet.html You can browse the internet very well with that, and also play high def video. And use applications like Gmail and Google Drive.
Miss Valeska Posted June 19, 2013 Author Posted June 19, 2013 Hmm, My friend can already do that though, He just has this really awful Power Mac G5. I tried installing Linux, I failed, I tried updating java past Java 5, I failed. Literally nothing works, All he can do is use a mega old version of skype, Teamviewer, And firefox. I think he can barely play flash games. Really, All that I want is, An old computer that can play minecraft on the lowest settings with mods like optifine to decrease them even more. I just want something that works well enough to play very simple games with him. I think the raspberry Pi can do that, But, If I can get a real desktop for him. That would be even better, Then it would be easier when he has enough money to build his own desktop, He could do it slowly and reuse some parts.
