Hello everyone. I am looking to upgrade my girlfriend's system for around 100$ - 150$. She doesn't do a whole lot of everything except some flash games that require a little more power. I was thinking in the 700-800mhz range, maybe a little lower... I need a baby at (or at) motherboard with built in Video and Sound with a strong processor, and 128mb of ram (256 if price allows it) if anyone can help me find a place to get something like this I would strongly appreciate it, thanks! 🙂

Get the VIA Eden combination. It's a cheap mATX mainboard that has onboard S3 video and AC97 sound. It includes a C3 processor as well. You can then buy some cheap PC133 memory.
 
also that mobo doesn't look like it has onboard video... and w/ only one pci slot that causes a problem cause i need a slot for her wireless network card
 
your gonna be very limited by the AT requirement.

if you want to stick with the AT case/PS your best bet would be to post this in the For Sale forum.

if your willing to shell out a bit more cash, here's an idea of what you can get...

Asus A7N266-VM nForce mATX, onboard LAN, audio, video - $68 shipped @ newegg

256 MB PC2100 for about $20 after rebate from Hot Deals

AMD Duron 1.3Ghz for $32 shipped, check pricewatch.com

Here's a ATX case with 400W powersupply for $32 shipped.

So, if you can use everything else from the old PC, I'm at $152 shipped. Also would need a heatsink for the duron, prolly another $5-$10 bucks.

 
Thanks for all of your replies... I've found a deal online for a 900mhz duron + mobo + 256mb ram for 120 bucks shipped and an enermax powersupply 36$ shipped... if you can help me do any better please let me know, thanks again! 🙂
