You do realize PCs and other computers cost much more than they do today. Adjusted for inflation $4000+.
The "race to the bottom" was out of necessity because many people couldn't afford paying so much money.
- pjmlp 4y agoDefinitly, during those days buying a PC always meant at least being able to pay a 3 to 5 year credit, and given the rate PCs were changing, when one would be finally done with the credit, it was slowly the time to think about a new one, because buying parts alone would no longer be enough.
- justsomehnguy 4y agoFunny enough, "you need $2000 for a good PC" held from mid '90 up to the end of '00. After that you could assemble "good enough" for less and less each year.
