Rigs on a Budget - Dash display - cheap phones

I don't have the budget for a high end rig, but I have a nice set up at discount prices.
I have a triple screen set up, with a fourth monitor displaying second monitor on it), and a bunch of smaller displays for telemetry and dash displays.
The four monitors were either free, (discarded work upgrades) or from a second hand store, top cost being $9.99 USD
I have two tablet displays, both free, discarded because they wouldn't keep a charge, i just keep them plugged in.
Then I discovered Tracfone, lower end phones that are often on sale, and are perfectly fine for use as wifi dash boards attached to my wheel.
Anyway...this one is $19.99 USD, and is more than capable of doing the job. So just a heads up for anyone who has not considered the discount route to a rig.
Edit: the sale is over and its just under $40 now, but keep an eye on Amazon for sales on these phones.
