Comment Can't get much cheaper than $89.00 (Score 1) 508
Jason Spisak, producer and voice actor for some top-end video games; formed a non profit to provide inexpensive computers to students needing one. It won't run Crysis or Call of Duty et al but it does nicely for younger students who don't require video editing power. Made from a recycled plastic and using recycled computer parts, Jason's effort, SymplePC; provides inexpensive computers while addressing the mess of electronic waste, at least here in the US. The going price for these machines is $89.00.
Jason donated 12 of his SymplePCs to my organization, Reglue.org; which is basically in the same business. My organization places the rebuilt computers. Our computers are repaired from donated machines from the enterprise as well as individuals. We have already placed all 12 machines donated by Jason and the reviews are in and they are all positive. It gets even better when SymplePC guarantees their machines for life. Some critics have emailed me, stating that these machines are too difficult to learn because they come with Ubuntu pre-installed. But I can help with that as well.
If you are having trouble using an Ubuntu computer, please contact me. I have hundreds of 12 year old kids that would be glad to tutor you. Their prices are pretty cheap as well. The Var Guy explains all here
