1. Customize your PC (Branded PC vs Customize PC)
2. Use open source software (OpenOffice, UBUNTU/Linux, etc etc)
3. Build your own networking system (internet, LAN etc etc)
1. Customize your PC
Branded PC such as Acer Aspire and HP Pavilion may cost you around 1000 to 2000 MYR (Malaysian Ringgit). Depends on the hardware used.
However you can customize your PC easily by following the tutorial included here. (click here). It costs you less than the price offer by the branded desktop or pc. What you need is little bit patient and courage. Want to save your money rite? Stop doing all the unnecessary things, move forward and be courageous!
2. Use open source Software
Mostly all customize PC or desktop come blankly without any OS and supported applications installed. OS like windows although can be bought for RM 5 from the "kaki lima" VCD seller is not worth use, as it did not support security alert from Microsoft.com. Otherwise you can be charged by using illegal software or pirated application. So the way out is to use OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE. Linux had worked very well for years for application in servers and networking system. But recently with the introduction of Linux related OS like UBUNTU or KDE Desktop the Open SOurce OS for desktop become available for no price at all. Not only the Desktop OS, the Open Source Software cover most of the tasks that windows did. OpenOffice for example is a rival to Microsft office application. For web developer, Dreamweaver of Frontpage (that costs about RM1000++) can be replaced by NvU and others. Not to mention Firefox, Opera which have been long enough, providing us with free of charge internet browser.
This open source software is not only distributed of no cost, but are well designed to protect the pc from bugs and virus. It is because the softwares have very reliable support throughout their own support community and well documented documentation.
