Tech Ambrosia (@TechAmbr) and Old Computer Rebuilds (@OCRrebuilds) came up with the idea to have a $100 PC build challenge. I think I have accumulated some parts (Ryzen 1700 and GTX1050Ti) that should set the bar pretty high... as long as I get the system to work. I'll be streaming to build the system and hopefully run all the required tests.
