In fact, if someone wants to play games there are plenty of options for
low-cost solutions. They have names like Nintendo, Playstation, and Xbox.

They are all under $200 these days, the games are better, and other people
can use the computer to do real work even when games are being played.

Otherwise, a $3000 computer will play games almost as well as one of the
above, at the additional cost of being noisier and running hotter.
