Anybody seen these pcs no OS for sale ~$20?
I want to grab one, throw arch on it.
Some of them that look nice are kali linux on old chromebooks, is that any good at all in any way?
buyer beware: you would want to already have a charging solution for whatever cheap pc u buy
Some you have to be fast, here is no ssd: Lenovo 20JM0009US 14" Core i5-6300U @ 2.4GHz 8GB RAM NO HDD NO BATT NO OS | eBay
no batt, and no os of course
what could you do with such a nice pc ?
a whole computer with gnu on it can do a lot
is a chromebook not in the league here?
Just make sure theyāre not selling you āa picture of a PCā for $20. My buddy got ripped off a while ago and it took a long time to get his money back. They usually hide that wording very carefully in the listing.

Yup, and I can bring some experience here.
A few years ago, I bet an Audi A5 with my wife, and she lost. My Audi is now just next to me, between two piles of books on the shelf

Oh no 
Seriously? I thought you were smarter than that 
I once get offered to buy the Eiffel tower for $5ā¦ but soon realized it was in the form of a keyholder 
There always is the other side: I once sold a bag of weed over eBay. I swear: no cheating, lying or anything deceptive. It is a free market: if people want to buy weed, somebody needs to fulfill that need

I think Iāll grab whatever pc falls through the cracks and pair it with alpine linux with ARM in mind for a project, and thatās as close to the bones as Iāll ever get.

yeah you are right, the chromebooks are ARM but I donāt want to mess with installing nix on them plus their form factors are weak. .
i will run the same distro on the pc that i intend to use on a potato-pi type device, to test like : )

I didnāt. I bought it 
@roland @Tricotou Guys seriously, I know you are just teasing me, right?
Yours are Both much smarter people than I am. I canāt believe you would fell into this. If that would really be the case, I would start thinking about making my own little scam! 
May be I could add a jacuzzi in my home, or buy myself one of these costly powerful electric cars 
that claim to be āecologicalā

Once I ordered a very very nice mini dress from China for my wife, quite cheaply (even stockings were included). I wanted to surprise her so I didnāt tell her anything. I even managed to be away from home when the package was delivered. We have nothing to hide so we open each others letters/packages so I knew she will open the package and will be deeply emotionally surprised what a hell of a gentleman (and alpha male) I am.
My phone beeped that day, I rushed to open the message from her:
āHoney, what the fck is wrong with you???! Are you a fcking pedophile??! Why did you order that sexy doll dress? We need to talk right now!!ā 
I always double check the size since then
So am I?
Yeah. Iām not that ez to fool 
ā¦Donāt tell me you didnāt want her to actually wear this tiny-mini sexy college-girl dress
It could fit a 40 cm tall doll at most
