Ok guys, so i'm trying to spec up a computer for my parents. Their budget is limited to £350 and that needs to include everything, mouse, keyboard, screen etc
the computer will be used for mainly office type duties, word processing, excel etc so it doesn't need to be a powerhouse, but i reckon we can put something together a bit more special than the what u'd find in your average high street store.

I already have Vista for it, so that doesn't need to be included

Specs pls

If you get the following case you can scrap the PSU and case in that spec and save 40 quid

and for general 'office; work I doubt you'd need 500gigs of space so getting the following will save you an extra 10 quid

The rest of its pretty much spot on except for a monitor.

Honestly for a PC this cheap i think your best bet is to buy a complete system from a pc shop.

Id be tempted to try the Mini ITX boards and go for a TINY case rather than small personally, in either C2D or Atom format :)
