$60 gaming PC's are doable if you buy an "untested" Dell Optiplex and get lucky. A few years ago, I bought a couple of these in that price range that not only worked, but had a GPU of some kind. Good enough for Left4Dead at least, and some other Indie games. All they needed was an HDD with Windows 10 (both of which I had lying around - Win10 licenses can be had for a few bucks).

Yeah, but a $60 lottery ticket that pays off in an X if you win isn’t a $60 X.

  • I'd take these over a lottery ticket. Not mentioned: I'd bought a handful of these off CL as well, and they all worked.

    Dell business machines are pretty reliable. It's a much better wager than a lotto ticket.
