Ok after dawn members I am giving you a challange, design the cheapest computer possible within the next month. The one to design the cheapest one wins sounds easy right? WRONG The rules: 1. It must be made from parts that are accessible in todays market. 2. It must be able to run windows, but it only needs to use Linux(cheaper=better.) 3. You have to be able to order the parts online 4. You can't even use a screw without including it in the price 5. It must be able to use open office(Free!) 6. It has to be unique, you can't copy others work and it has to be innovative. And here are a few things it MUST have: 500mhz processor internet connection screen keyboard mouse This computer should be able to function! Post the parts list and any special instructions Ok? ready, set, GO!
