HI
My daughter needs a new pc. Her husband (soon to be ex) trashed their pc and there are no usable parts left.
My daughter needs something to help organize basic financial records for the divorce and to use for internet access.
We looked at some package deals where you pay $650 or more and after rebates the final price is down to $299. She doesn?t have the initial $650 plus now so that is out.
I?ve looked at some barebones systems with the idea of trying to put something together for her for under $300. I saw one barebone by Asus but by the time I added the cpu, o/s, ram, dvd/cd burner, etc the price was over $400. I saw another one on the Tiger Direct site that used a PC Chips motherboard that included the cpu and ram and case with p/s.
That looked like it would make it under $300.
What I need is some advice and suggestions on parts and places to buy barebones that would come in under the $300 mark.
Another reason for keeping it cheap is during the divorce process the pc might be considered common property to be included in the settlement. Thus keeping it cheap means the soon to be ex won?t want any part of it!!!!
Thanks
