The adventures of Almigo

I'm great with computers. Case in point finally solving a problem I've had after putting it to the back of my mind for the last four years...and I'm the one who built my PC in the first place!  (We're about to get a little technical here, brace yourself.)

Oh god, it's happening again. I'm delving into the weird, wild and wacky world of the endless ocean that is Aliexpress. And for no apparent reason I suddenly have the hankering to build a computer with budget bits from companies with names probably made up on the spot. So exactly how cheap and unknown can we go to build something equal or better than what I currently have? Is it even possible?  Let's find out!

So I'm building a computer at the moment and in my usual 'nothing goes to plan' plans, funnily enough nothing has gone to plan...

A mystery computer complete with big screen and wireless keyboard? All for only $30? Gumtree you impress me once again. Now to find out what's in this thing...
