So bros, i want a realy cheap pc, i dont care if its a pentium 4, but a realy cheap pc just for web surf because i wish just a simple pc for simple issues. I want play old games on linux. So any model? Less then $50
>>54987640
well then buy one at a garage sale or flea market or something. The model doesn't matter they will all suck
>>54987725
i know, maybe i will try to find something on ebay but i need models
>>54987640
Please use this case
>>54987803
I don't know this meme but okay, i will;
Okay
So you want cheap...
Max budget, go.
Assuming max is 50 you're going to have a real hard time.

thinkcentre or a dell dimension 4000 series
a $50 pentium machine will struggle to even play youtube on medium and usually sound like a hurricane while doing it. There really are better (more specialized) alternatives depending on what exactly you are going to use it for

If you want cheaper I could throw together an even shittier machine, but this will actually be able to do stuff... Trust me on the ssd too. Might be small, but if you just want to play old games this is more than enough. will prolly even handle some modern games on ultra low
whem i say 50 i mean cheap. By the gods, its impossible some shit for 50 buckets, its just to another way to mean CHEAP

New raspi. Play n64 and SNES all day , use the leftover $20 for a cheap craigslist monitor, a mouse, a keyboard, and usb gamepad

I assume OP wants an x86_64 computer...
I mean, there is qemu, but it isn't very optimal...
>>54988211
>>54988152
Pi isn't so bad.
But this is truly i want x86_64

If op's more into this type of thing
You can probably find a core2duo or core2quad on ebay, craigslist, gumtree or buy/swap/sell sites/pages. Later on down the road you could throw a 2nd hand 750 ti or something in it too. just bargain hunt. if someone wants 100 for it just offer them 50.
one last shot...
Bare bones, no wifi and no dedicated gpu... if you want quadcore swap for a AMD 5150....
>>54988353
Why the core series? if you're getting hardware from that era go for an athlon. Better cpus, and typically better igpus.

Didn't include the link... rip
>>54988383
Core ripped that ancient shit a new asshole. The only reason AMD was good in that period is because Intel was literally trying to make a shitty product.
>>54987640
I used to like that pic, now I feel my love fading
>>54988400
The core i series did.... Not the core2. Lets all take a moment to remember the centrino

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core2+Duo+E8400+%40+3.00GHz
Both released around the same time (the 6000+ is actually newer), the E8400 beats it out pretty soundly.
>>54988484
Thats actually interesting... I was under the impression that most of AMD's stuff still beat the shit out of intel up until around 2010.
Also just because I'm that guy

I don't even disagree with you, synthetic benchmarks are shit.
But Core was pretty capable, and honestly, A64s weren't commonly featured in prebuilts worth picking up for general use nowadays, I can think of maybe one or two decent workstations that used Opterons too.
