Building a Shuttle for mom

[daba]

Well, my mom has an old system, and I would like to put it in a shuttle, or another small form factor PC (barebones):

Right now she has:

P4-a 1.7GHz
1x512 Stick PC133 SDRAM
GeForce2 MMX200
80GB HDD
Justlink 12x10x32x CD-RW

I would like to know what is the optimal small form factor PC or Shuttle for this configuration? I may upgrade the RAM, but all she does is type documents, print, and surf the web (write e-mails). Any input?

Thanks,
daba

EDIT: She needs the space.

why does she need a new comp for those uses?

If all she does is that...then why does she need anything else?

she isn't going to benefit at all...

now if she needs the space that a SFF provides because she is trying to get it into a specific area...that might be a different story- but then i'd reccomend to reuse as many parts as possible...

but unless she needs the space, I don't see a reason as to why a new pc is in order

oh- upgrading your ram will provide little to no benefit for her 😉

Yes, it is for space.

SFF 1

SFF 2

EDIT: Just noticed those use DDR RAM. I think pretty much all of them do now...

Welp, I bought it for her, a very modest computer. I also threw in some Mushkin Basic Green 512MB PC2700 just for kicks :rock:.

SS51G for $184 shipped.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions!
