Another New System Spec

[shiner]

My friend needs A new tower just a cheap one that will competently encode videos and playback dvds. He's AMD 2100+ is gradually losing the will to do anything after 3 years of service.

needs:
DVD Rom & DVD-/+RW
must have DVi bonus if TV out

He's pretty skint so looking to upgrade in preformance from he's AMD 2100+ without breaking the bank.

Any idea's ?

sorry he has a monitor, 2 HDD althou they're IDE, keyboard & mouse.

just needs

case
mobo
memory
DVD Rom & DVD-/+RW
Graphics Card must have at least 1 DVI out
poss SATA HDD

he doesn't game at all so its purely for encoding & movie playback

Sorry he's budget is what ever he needs to spend to get it done as reasonably as possible. Long story but he's ex screwed him out of lots of £££ and now is kinda scrapping by.

Nice one mate I told him it would cost he around £400 at a guess
