so my mate has asked me to build him a small PC, but i'm more used to knocking together desktops than mATX/shuttle thingamys.
Budget is less than £300 (preferably nearer the £200 mark).
Used for internet, music (storage and listening and perhaps playing around with Reason but nothing serious), burnign DVDs and CDs, and a bit of word processing etc, perhaps some film watching.
The quieter the better. No peripherals needed.
budget includes:
case, motherboard, processor, cooling, RAM, HDD, GFX.
He has an old AMD XP system, so don't think he could salvage much out of it that would be useful. Even his old HDD is a PATA so prob not much use. Should be able to use his old disk drives though.
Any advice greatly appreciated, as i know this might be difficult on such a tight budget.
cheers
