So is it possible to buy or create/buy a pc for around 100$ or around that, im looking for something with more that 8 ram and can play some modern games, not all but some, and i dont mean like AAA games, also ive really been wanting to try stable diffusion just to see what it can do.

is it possible to get a modern or descent pc for around 100$, also im a highschooler and ive been saving my money my whole life i got around 200$ but im cheap and i would like to have some leftover incase anything happens. i dont have a job but im been saving from b-days holidays and the coins i found on the sidewalks, should i try to save up more?

  1. Google a bit for ideas on what you can do with an off-lease OptiPlex, just make sure to get one that is not small form factor (SFF), so that you can fit a GPU in there without having to get medieval on it.

  1. Look on Craigslist/Nextdoor/FBMarketplace for a beater of a laptop with a discrete GPU. I'm in CHI area and see options like T510 and E6430, each for right around a hundo, along with a few antique tower desktops.

  2. If you are just itching to try some Stable Diffusion, consider if a virtual pc is good enough... You could scratch that itch right now for pocket change.

Good luck on your quest!
