there are plenty of home computers for sale for under $500. i'm on a $700 laptop right now that's 4 years old.

they just can't run modern games. i can run 2d games just fine or old games.

the gaming crowd seems to forget that most computers don't use integrated graphics and a $1000 PC is a luxury purchase.
