My little sister is looking into a new PC. She's doing her Masters next year. We need a solid quality rig for ~£400. She already has a great monitor/keyboard/mouse/speakers I build PC's with my eyes closed, so I can sort that for her. Best I've come up with is £425 with a competitor.
A PC for College work, basic media, internet surfing, photographs & fun but she doesn't bother with games (Aero would be nice tho - she likes pretty new things)
Rules:
1) Floppy drive and Vista HP must be included & I feel a gig of RAM is needed for Vista.
2)£450 absolute tops or she might as well get a Laptop.
3)She likes to play music/movies/basic media while she works, so Dual Core would be nice but not required. We will NOT go over budget just to "go Conroe", but if it fits in the budget, well and good.
4)Needs to look tasteful in her bedroom, so no whacky cases.
5)No old 939 stuff - needs to be scalable in the future.
Whadya think?
