thanks. actually, she has squat to start with. no cutting corners. it doesnt have to be powerful at all, 1ghz would do it, but i'll say 1.4 minimum (or 1400) However, at that price, for another $30 you can get a 2400, or a 2.4. so i'm thinking an athlon 2400..anyways, now that i have some time:
how would pc2700 go over? 512 megs is pretty cheap right now, i could pick up a single stick of 512mb generic pc2700, a cheap motherboard/processor around 2400 speeds, get onboard everything...
she wants a wireless keybaord/mouse, but they can be piccked up at staples for $30 after rebates quite often. (as a set)
basically i'm thinking:
2400 mobo/cpu bundle
1X512 generic pc2700
Generic (cheap) ATX case w/300W psu
CDRW /OR/ DVDr +CDRW /OR/ 1XdvdR + 1Xcdrw (all lite on)
i was hoping to stay away from the micro cases, i love a good tower, but if its cheap and it will work...well, just never thought of it myself.
ZIM- would that mobo fit in that case? i like the stuff you've found.
(except you linked to a black cdrw for a white case
)
i'll check back in when i get a better list of things and a better price...that monitor is gonnabe a killer, she is willing to go down to 15", thoiugh...IF NEED BE. (i'll try a local shop so see if i can save from shipping)
EDIT
shes decided on a case (i figured i'd giver her a shot, she's the one who has to look at it!)
big link
it has a generic 300W, that should power the mobo/processor/harddrive/burner, and a few fans, right?
sure i'd like to throw in a 400W antec, but this is not a power pc, its a casual use "
sit all day running not doing anything" computer.
i think the case will do, howbout you?
