Her P166MMX (my old machine
) finally crapped out. Hard drive is FUBARed and we both decided it's time. I told her she should have gotten a new one awhile but oh well. It's frustrating to use it really.
Anyway, here is what I have planned for her:
(Note: She uses the net, email (Hotmail), and Word)
FOXCONN SUPER CASE (BLACK) Front USB MID TOWER CASE 1150-P4-BK (w/ 300W PSU) $44
TOSHIBA INTERNAL DVD ROM, 16X DVD, 48X CD ROM (I'm taking this one, putting my 6x DVD/32x CD in hers
) $39
Thermaltake VOLCANO 6Cu (It's 'only' 31dBa - that's the main reason I chose it) $11
IBM 40GB 7200RPM Model # IC35L040AVVN07-0, Part # 07N8450 - 120GXP OEM, DRIVE ONLY (Are there any 20GB drives for like $50 or less anywhere? This is big time overkill) $71
Crucial Micron 128MB 16x64 PC2100 DDR RAM $26
SHUTTLE AK31A AMD K7 VIA APOLLO KT266A DDR SOCKET A ATX MOTHERBOARD - RETAIL (I might take this too and give my mom my Epox 8K7A...kinda sad...I paid almost $140 shipped for this 8K7A last august and then ~1-2 months later it was getting outperformed by KT266A's) $59
AMD DURON 950MHz 200MHz FSB SOCKET A PGA $36
ATI OEM RADEON 7000 VE 32MB DDR $37 (Overkill...but it's only $37 - what else will I get for $37 or lower?)
Including shipping, this is ~$355
I would like to get it down to about $300, but it's not imperative. Any ideas/recommendations (price related or not price related, whatever)?
Thanks.
