I was gonna get a 25$ core two duo optiex and a super cheap card like in the 25$ range for an emulation only pc and a 50.00 i5 in the 3k series or for 75 an i7 2600. All optiplex’s.Find an old business PC that has an i5-2400 or newer and you'll have a low-med eSports machine. You should be able to find one for $75 or lower locally. Even if you have to go to ebay, you can get a i5-3470, 8gb ram, 250gb HDD, Win 10 machine for $120. Just make sure to get a full tower size. Add a $35 240gb SSD and you're into the system for $207.
It would make a great media center and couch gaming pc.
Some of those prebuilt computers can be upgraded to xeons, check the manufactures page for approved cpu's. If you can find a cheap i3 computer, you can get Xeon E3-1230's which are 4 core/8 threads 3.2ghz base/ 3.8ghz turbo for $55
Then I was gonna chunk a cheap ssd in and see about flipping a couple a week if it works out for some extra cash. Was gonna put 750’s in the i5’s and 970’s in the i7’s.
My source has HUNDREDS of business opti’s and the more I buy at a time the better the rate I can get.
The emulation machine I would keep , but the i5’s and 7’s would be to sell.
If it’s profitable I’d like to flip 4-5 a week for extra cash to play with.
I have 6 monitors I have basically no use for I can also put together “ready to go” gaming packages with monitor keyboard and mouse.
4 24” 1080p 60hrz, 2 acer and 2 dell + 2 27” 1080p 60hrz Dell.
And more dell keyboard and mice than I’ll ever know what to do with.
