The $300 PC

This shootout is a bit different from what we usually do. It’s not about the most sophisticated systems or about reaching new clock speed records. This article is for those who cannot or will not spend $300 for a processor, overclocked memory and an über graphics card. The reasons why people don’t max out their credit cards or go hungry for a week to buy their dream machine vary, of course, but the good news is that $300 will buy you some decent PC gear these days.

It’s amazing what $300 can buy nowadays, when looking back just a few years to see what kind of PC $2000 could get you. Everything is taken into consideration here, including video/audio performance and even power consumption.
