hah.. I'm sure it'll be the same for me. My dad needs help navigating to yahoo, and my mom just now had problems viewing an attachment :D

Nvm, it was only $350. Here are the specs: Thermaltake case, Biostar motherboard AM2, integrated video and audio, amd athlon 64 X2 4000+ 2.1 ghz am2 processor, 1 gig ram, a new keyboard, laser mouse, card reader, combo drive, and floppy. We already had some nice speakers and a 17" monitor. They work together very well, and thermaltake always has nice, easy to use cases.

I thought about giving them vista or at least xp pro 64-bit.. but I knew it would only cause more harm than good lol :p

It probably is a legal XP. I got my XP pro on OEM licence for £50 (~$100) because i baught it with a "system critical component" for use in a new PC.

XP pro full edition usually retails here for about £250 (~500)

My parents let me do the computer thing. I built one in 9th grade for a school project, and I've been tech support ever since. It's not always fun :P

I know what you mean... it really sucks sometimes...

Member Avatar for jbennet

1) get a 450w power supply at least (thats what modern gfx cards need)

2) get the right case for your motherboard size (full ATX, WTX, baby ATX, midi ATX, micro ATX, BTX etc...)

Heh heh... nice one, Ezzaral.
Yesterday, my mom grounded me from computer priveleges and then asked me to solve a processing speed/spyware/adware problem on the family PC. Managed to negotiate half the ban off.
