[SOLVED] Ok don't laugh

Ok guys long time lurker first time poster, I'm in college and I have no shame in telling you I am broke and I mean BROKE BROKE, to a degree we ramen noodles 3 nights a week, my parents try and help best they can but they are on SSI with a fixed income so... anyways I came across this site and I tried searching on here for it and it seems no one has discussed it or bashed it or anything.


They claim you can connect through basically anything and have a full spec PC with some decent specs for a pretty low cost per month. So I had a few questions for you experts



1. Do you think its legit? or should I try it and pay with like a pre paid card?

2. Can they actually do what they are claiming

3. Will I be technically using their internet or my own when I browse, because we have Wifi here in the dorm



I never used anything but windows and Mac so I would likely choose the windows package



[spam looking site removed]


or on the OTHER hand if you think this is not the route to go can you maybe spec out a superrrr cheap PC for me?



Thanks guys

Full disclosure I did post this on Linus as well

It depends what you want to do with the PC. Amazon rents Windows Desktop hosts. Basic desktop functionality is possible. Gaming, nope.

I recall the video that LTT ran on this a while back. It really depends on how close you are to the infrastructure as to what performance you can expect.

The site / store is CloudcoreVM dot com

Can you guys let me know for regular PC use if this can work? $45 a month sounds a whole heck of alot better then buying or building with todays prices

For what specific use?

What will you use for monitor/mouse/keyboard?

I see a basic laptop at BestBuy for under $200.
