Budget System

[spotdog14]

Ok, i needed to create a budget system for my girlfriends mom, because her computer just sucks, this is what i have come up with:

CDRW 52x32x52|SMSNG SH-R522C/BEBN % - OEM (Price=$21.99)
CPU INTEL CELERON D 2.53G 775 326 R - Retail (Price=$73.00)
MEM 256M|RW 184P D333 RW333/256G R - Retail (Price=$18.99)
HD 40GB|WD 7200RPM U/100 WD400BB% - OEM (Price=$45.50)
BRBN PC MSI|MBOX PM8M2-V - Retail (Price=$69.99)


$229.47


**EDIT**
added a second stick of 256 ram, and a keyboard/mouse combo.


What do yah think? Should i have gone with somthign else? i chose the cheapest stuff i could, the MSI barebones PC seems pretty cool looking, i wanted to stick with Intel because i have had a bad experiance with AMD.

You will need more ram if you are planning to run XP. I suggest getting a 512 stick instead.

Agreed... get 512MB RAM. It will make a major difference between a decent or sucky system.
