Morning All,

As my sisters laptop has pretty much given up she is after a simple computer so she can browse the web, check emails and play music. She can connect it to the lcd tv she has.

Never really built one of these before, please can you check to see if what i have got is all i will need?

Thanks

Copy of windows?
Keyboard and mouse?
Wireless card?

Other than that I can only suggest looking in the B-Grade section if you really want to make it as cheap as possible.

PK!

The case you have chosen, doesnt support a 5,25" DVD drive. You need the

Maybe you should consider just a new eee box instead

Which also doesnt have a dvd drive, but has windows xp, wireless, blu tooth etc.
