  • Where can I get a base cpu for the cheapest?

    I've got a tv in our break room I wanted to use to post announcements on. I need a cpu to connect to the TV to put my word docs on to display this. Where can I get the simplest cpu (cheapest) to accomplish this?

            What kind of presentations?
            What input does the tv accept (hdmi/dvi/vga) ?


            any idea on your budget?

            would an appletv work? or do you need a full windows desktop for office use? (goes back to question #1)

              Most modern TVs have USB ports that will allow you to run a slideshow straight from a flash drive.

              If the TV is new enough then you can just create .jpgs with your announcements, slap them on a flash drive, start up the slideshow and walk away.
              Scientists do not coddle ideas. They crash test them. They run them into a brick wall at 60 miles per hour and then examine the pieces.

              If the idea is sound, the pieces will be that of the wall.

                I picked up a cheap eMachine at Best Buy years ago, fucker was cheap, and worked great.

                Newegg.com also has some inexpensive stuff.

                  only inputs I can find are coax, usb, video, vga? (blue connector the same as computer monitors accept)

                  All I want to do is display announcements via computer hooked up in Word
