Salvage System

Salvage system is a type of build salvaged from older or obsolete computers and or parts. This type of system is usually the cheapest, but also most obsolete of the custom builds. Its function is mainly to provide a computer to someone who needs one. They have limited usage for modern applications due to their slower processors and other outdated components. For someone who may only surf the internet to check email, news stories, and create simple documents, this type is sufficient. Because of the nature of technology, any of the below computers will eventually be as useful as this computer currently is. This type usually cannot run later operating systems, and usually has to run an older OS which at worst is MS-DOS, and at best Windows XP, and in rarer cases, even possibly Windows 7. Advanced users of Linux or other Unix-like operating systems may run those operating systems without a graphical user interface, which dramatically reduces their system requirements.

Famous quotes containing the word system:

    For the universe has three children, born at one time, which reappear, under different names, in every system of thought, whether they be called cause, operation, and effect; or, more poetically, Jove, Pluto, Neptune; or, theologically, the Father, the Spirit, and the Son; but which we will call here, the Knower, the Doer, and the Sayer. These stand respectively for the love of truth, for the love of good, and for the love of beauty.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
