She just needs an internet machine, nothing more. But she wants something that will work for a while and such. She has a 600 right now and doesn't want any faster really, or notice any faster, so just remember that..

MAXTOR 40.0GB 5400RPM Model # 4D040H2 - $63.00


 


KINGSTON VALUERAM 256MB PC133 - $55.00


 


BIOSTAR M7VKG AMD VIA KM133A VIV 686-B 266MHZ FSB SOCKET A - $60.00


 


ENERMAX 300W Power supply - $33.00


 


AMD DURON 1.0 GHZ - $39.00


 


Creative Lab Sound Blaster 16 -$16.00


 


ArchTek 56K V.92 PCI MODEM (or whichever) - $11.00


 


Possibly a Case - $40


 


Total: $ 347.00 + $30 shipping


 


Anything else I'd need? Thanks, or if there are any recommendations of things she should choose instead.

She has a case already, so we can prolly use that. And I have Win2k, 98se, and ME on disc so I can install one of those. Yeah she has all those other parts..


 


video card = 8 MB SIS. it's a peice of crap but will do for just displaying images and stuff like that.

you might just want to get a motherboard with onboard sound and video, that might end up costing more though.

She is building it herself, she just asked me to find the different parts for her since she doesn't know where to find em.
