Wondered if you nice people would have a look at this spec for a friend and pass judgement/make changes etc etc etc...
Their total buget is £500 but I've gone a bit over - would appreciate anything that would bring it back down to that though!
The system will be used for the usual email/internet, plus MS Office applications (haven't included it in the spec, as they will buy that themselves elsewhere as they get discount,) watching TV and also photo editing - something they're very keen on and very good at.
There's no overclocking to be done, and the system won't get upgraded for at least three or four years.
The spec must include everything - including software and the 56k modem (no broadband) - except speakers, printer and scanner.
[edit - not fussed whether it's AMD or Intel based. Right now they're also looking at a couple of Dells - the 3130 I think[/edit]
So your comments on this please!
