It will also have my old Athlon 64 +3000 and my 1 Gig of GEIL Value Ram. It´s only for office, internet, some music and no much more. No games at all. Its for my fiancee´s mum.

Have I forgot anything?

Do you think it will be better to get a Dell computer for her?

Cheers

I could also go the Sempron route and get one of those Asus cases with integrated 2d/3d graphics and mobo, but, are they any good?

Cheers

well, the thing is I could upgrade my computer a little bit and sell her my components at a fair price (for me!) .

But as Kondorski says I don´t know if its worth the hassle ...

In the website there is this barebone, but apparently it can´t use Sempron 64 although OCUk sells some of these with Sempron CPUs, anyone knows if they are really sempron 64 compatible?
