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 They have limited usage for modern applications due to their slower processors and other outdated components.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:
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
