    Aunt and Uncle's PC part 2

    Well, I'm going to try to convince them the $350 one is better. My dad gave me a tip on dealing with my uncle - he's trying to lowball me and be a quasi-cheapskate. I'll say $350, he'll say $275, then my aunt will mediate and we'll end up at $332.89.

    Aunt and Uncle's PC part 2

    Well, they rejected that $350 PC I quoted them. They want it below $300. Yikes... I have the software speced out so don't worry about that (Yes I'm keeping it legal). So the price of the software isn't included in that, I just subtracted the software price fromt he price they gave me and...

    Actually they are! What the hell am I thinking? There's one right on 202, in King of Prussia. I go that way all the time. I even do it in a company Dodge Durango so I can pick up a $60 monitor.

    Building a $350 PC for my Aunt and Uncle?

    I posted the same question on usenet so I'll compare answers. I think the price is right, but I need to include a monitor in there. Which is a pain in the ass.

    Building a $350 PC for my Aunt and Uncle?

    Ah ha... that would bring the price to $373. I wonder if I could bring the original system to $300. Then I would have $50 to play around with concering the monitor.

    Building a $350 PC for my Aunt and Uncle?

    that would be a great system, you could save on the video card by either getting something like a fx5200 or looking for a motherboard with onboard video. i build a computer for my parents with a PC-Chips Motherboard with onboard video and it has been a really stable system and it runs alot of...

    Building a $350 PC for my Aunt and Uncle?

    Basically the title says it all. I'm obviously going for an AMD processor. They aren't gamers, and will use the PC for word processing a few spreadsheets and maybe a few kids' games. The kids are no older than 5. I'm hoping to get them a 17 inch CRT monitor as well - the LCDs are too...
