Just got a Dell computer through E-Bay that runs Windows 10 Home version with 8 Gig
ram. The vendor was a company named Discount Computer Depot. Paid a whopping $85.00 for it. I think it also has built-in Wi-Fi although I haven't needed to use it.

I plan on using it to check out various BBS software to see how they function, and possibly
run a second BBS on it in the future. My Winserver BBS is remotely hosted.

Very pleased with it so far, and I would highly recommend them.

Nice deal you did! I see these computers often get sold for like almost a fiver or for about 20 bucks, they're still perfectly working, even if they got something like a Pentium 4 processor.

But these are absolutely fine for running BBSes - certainly more stable than a Raspberry Pi when's about hosting a board!

I am actually using it now to run my new Mystic system. It's a screamer!
