Mom wants a computer
My mom wants a new computer and i said id build one for her. I need a list of supplies from new egg, that would be greatly apppreciated. Nothing fancy all shes going to do is go on the internet and do photos stuff like that. I want it to be under 500, nothing special.

If you need to shave prices, you could go with a slower Pentium-E or even get a Celeron-L. If you go with XP, you could go down to 1 gig of ram. Keep the 2gb in there if you want Vista.
Don't need a video card, that onboard video is Aero capable. |

could go with a low end AM2 processor..
3800 or even a 4000 probably cost about the same as the one that cricket had in the setup |

I just ordered the parts for a low end build - $704 shipped including everything.
Foxconn TS-1 case Asus P5KPL-VM motherboard E2180 2x1gb Corsair VS DDR2-667 Seagate 80gb SATA Lite-On SATA DVD burner Mitsumi combo floppy/card reader Cheap PCI wireless card Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse Hanns-G 19" widescreen XP Home I priced out an equivalent Dell at over $800. Without the monitor and XP, that build would be under your $500 target. |
