A vastly inferior, but small, desktop computer - here's what we made out of it.
Why does this exist? Well, it's a free market. Everyone can start selling products and, everyone can buy products, given they have the money or the credit to pay for them. But... why does this computer exist? We, to be fair, don't know.
But, you're not interested in our meritocrat/libertarian/asshat rants, I gather. So, lemme give you the details:
As usual, we took the money and ran... uuuuh, I mean, we made a couple of interesting alternatives you can order and build at home.
You get the added maintainability and the freedom to choose your OS - and you even get to save some money you can spend on awesome shit!
You want a basic office computer and thought the Rag Mini was good - but you'd vastly overpay. Buy this instead.

Check it out!All the component prices are subject to change. Assembling the computer is required, obviously. Paying the kid next door is not recommended, but still preferable to buying prebuilt.
An operating system is required to run the computer - Linux is a free and very usable option, or pick whatever you like.
The beer and coffee cost of assembling a computer is not included in the price.
The leftover-money-purchases are not investment advice, nor mandatory. They exist as a gauge of how much you'd overpay for the computer in question if you were to purchase prebuilt.
