Hello, in October I will be building a computer for a friend. He'll use it use for some work stuff (MS Office, any version), Probably use Win98SE or ME...
Needs a 15GB or so HD, a cheap 3 piece speaker system (probably that Altec Lansing Cube or whatever the heck it is), a slower reliable CD-R/W (hes not into mp3's, just burns whole cds when hes not around, and sometimes mixes), he's not much into 3d games, hell surf the internet, etc.
I think I'll go with an nForce 220 when they come out... decent enough graphics if he decides to play games, onboard sound, does it have an onboard modem?
Budget is 600-650, not including Monitor, which I have take care of. Cheaper is appreciated, but I don't want something thats going to conk out. Will probably go AMD T-Bird 1Ghz or so??, debating whether to go DDR or not....
Any suggestions welcome, like I said I won't be building til October or so, so some things might change. Just trying to get a rough idea.
