You need to provide a lot more information than that. Does he need a monitor? Printer? What sort of applications does he run? Etc.

Look to HP/Compaq or eMachines. Until you provide more info, I can't be any more specific.

It's fairly common to find nice pcs for way under $500 in the Sunday newspaper ads these days. CompUSA, Staples, Circuit City, etc.

I bought a nice Compaq for $200 after rebates, it has a 160g SATA hard drive, Athlon64,dual layer DVD writer, 512mb pc3200, as an example.

I just bought a Dell Laptop for $450. You can easily upgrade the HD to 100gb if you want for a bit more.

C- M 1.4
512 ram
B/G wireless
40/5400 HD
15.4 WXGA
cdrw/dvd
xp home

If the only requirement is a 100GB hard drive... then I've got a pc to sell you. And... believe it or not, the price is 700 bucks!

Compaq Presario SR1700Z
Sempron 3400+
512 MB RAM
integrated video
160 GB hard disk
DVD burner
5.1 audio
front firewire/audio/USB
keyboard, mouse & speakers
$555 - $100 MIR = $505 (online order)

Insignia IS-CM100641 17" CRT display
$100 + ~$7 tax = ~$107 (@ Best Buy)

Total price: $662 ($612 after MIR)

prebuilt is the way to go if it's over 500 bucks

the ONLY place i would buy a pc if it was not DIY (okay... ill buy it elsewhere ONLY if it got a giant discount)

 

[sniperruff]

saw this in another post. no idea why anyone would prefer other pre-built's (except IBM's) over dell's.
