Am I the only one who thinks there's a market for sub £200 PCs that haven't got very good specs?
If some company can go out, take that plunge and manufacture sub-£200 PCs, I think it would take off with a certain market.
Students who use their PC for typing up work, internet and e-mail.
Old People.
People getting into PCs but don't want to pay £600+ for one.
Am I going insane, or does this seam like a feasible idea?

Yeah, we have a bulk buying computer hardware retailer/warehouse thingy near where we live... We managed to make up a 2Ghz system with 256Mb RAM, a good motherboard with onboard sound, 128Mb Radeon GFX card, case, 60Gb Hard-disk, CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo, and a 56k modem. We already had a Monitor but they are really cheap, and the decent keyboards with hotkeys etc are like £5... it came to a bit over £300, and the case already had 3 fans in it and came with a Processor heatsink aswell... and i've just realised there are like 8 USB ports on it aswell... email me [email protected] if you want more info... else these posts will probably get removed...

It's a good idea, and one which we were already thinking about. See the next mag for more details.

Is it made of Lego?

You can get a good quality processor, heatsink/fan, motherboard, stick of RAM, graphics card, power supply, case, hard disk, CD drive, sound-card, modem/network card, monitor, keyboard, mouse and operating system for £300? Do tell.

You can get a good quality processor, heatsink/fan, motherboard, stick of RAM, graphics card, power supply, case, hard disk, CD drive, sound-card, modem/network card, monitor, keyboard, mouse and operating system for £300? Do tell.

Or why not do what i do - and make top of the range PC's for that price? if you know where to get the parts you can easily make a decent computer for £200 to £300...

Manufacturing slow components costs no less than manufacturing fast components in most cases. If you buy a £200 PC, it's either severely cutting corners or 2nd hand.
One kid did this a couple of years back. While sitting an exam, he started daydreaming about his own business and the idea came to him. So he persued it.
He's now a millionaire.
He built the sub-standard machines and sold them on to schools.
Now he has staff working for him too.
