Cheap spec please

[becrazed]

Cheers!

what kind of work word processing?

EDIT: btw are we talking everything here i.e. monitor mouse keyboard mouse os?

Well, If your after an all in one system, youll be better off getting somthing second hand. maybe a 2 year old pre-built system or somthing like that.

But if you dont mind a bit of experimentation,
you should seriously consider the ASUS eepc coupled with an external mouse and monitor...it will be a bit over budget, but youll have the benefit of an ultra portable laptop.

They run Linux, but can be persuaded to run a cut-down version of windows, if it wasnt for the tiny hard drive I would get one myself, they are very cool.
If your only using it for work and web-browsing, then the small hard drive will be fine.

just office stuff really nothing graphical and its just the tower thats needed nothing else

EDIT: and no OS needed either

Cheers
