My mum is wanting a new PC soon for around £1k. She is thinking of buying this thing from a place where the sell pcs for £1.3k which all it is is just a screen and the hardware is attached on the screen at the back.I am trying to convince her to go with something else, and maybe just let me buy the parts and put it together fro her and make a very good pc for much less money.

what she is looking at is called the SONY VGC-V3S, for £1300 from http://shop.sonystyle-europe.com/So...=GB&languageId=GB&s=external&ss=show&id=VGCV* (hope im alowed this link as its only for the offical website, not selling it i dont think):

Intel Pentium 4 550 Processor
3.4GHz Clock-Speed
800MHz Front Side BUS
512 mb RAM Memory
250 Gb Hard Disk Capacity
Multi Format Dual Layer DVDRW Drive
128MB NVIDIA® GeForce¿ FXGo5700 Graphics
Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
802.11g Wireless Network Ready
Windows XP Home Edition Operating-System

Bascially what she wants is for it to be small, possibly the micro ATX i think ther called, and for it to be silent as possible, if not dead silent. I will be a media pc however she does play the latest games like sims2 so it will nedd to be able to do this and be ready for future games.

she needs a screen, mouse, keyboard, and i would imagine speakers too, however we don't need windows as we already have a spare unused copy of Media Centre in the house.

Rember she would like to keep it as silent as possible
