Well, hello there, everybody.
Today is a big day.
Me and one of my best friends, Mihai (also my neighbor) are announcing our first PC build, the Saracia.
The Saracia will be a computer, designed to be able to run some mid-range games, but mostly low-end ones. (hopefully it will exceed our expectations)
Our checklist for this project was the following:
-It is supposed to be able to run DOS games.
-Have a floppy drive. (3.5")
-Run modern games. (Like Starbound, or Don't Starve Together)
-Have access to the internet.
-4K resolution video.
-DVD drive.
-Horizontal desktop case.
-Legacy ports (like Serial, and PS/2)
And most importantly,
The case must be made out of cardboard.
Yep, you heard that right.
This computer sounds crazy and stupid.
This is mostly an experiment. It's total price is about 550 lei, which is extremely cheap for a computer.
Now, let's see the main specs:
The motherboard will be an Acer MG43M.
4 GB of DDR3 RAM.
500 GB 7200 RPM HDD.
Asus AMD R9 255 graphics card. (PCIe x16)
Intel Core 2 Duo CPU.
The PSU, the HDD, the RAM and the Motherboard are the only parts that arrived at the time of the writing of this post. I ordered most of the parts two days ago, and all of them should arrive until the first of August, I think.
We hope that this will be a success, and if it works maybe we'll turn it into something more serious.
