Hi
I need to build a desktop for the girlfriend.... According to her it needs to be 'small, cheap, and cute'
Anyway here is what I had in mind, if someone could suggest some components that will go well together I would be very grateful! The cheaper the better to be honest.
Memory: 2 Gig of 800Hz DDR2 should be sufficient
Motherboard: Micro-ATX, I assume Intel would be best? Must include integrated graphics as she doesn't need any 3d acceleration.
CPU: Retail, dual core. Doesn't need to be particularly fast. Intel is best I assume?
Opical Drive: Cheapest available DVD burner should be ok.
Hard Drive: 250gb should be more than big enough
Wireless: Must have wireless capability, preferably not through USB.
Case & PSU. Again something cheap and functional. 300 Watts should be ok.
So any ideas? The cheaper the better. i should be able to sort out an OS, keyboard, mouse, speakers and a monitor.
