WTB: Computer for my daughter
(1/3) > >>
somunny:
I'm looking for a computer for my nine-year old daughter with the following stats:

1.6-2.0 GHz (P4 or similar Athlon)
256 mb ram min
20 GB HD min
dvd drive
XP w/ COA#
onboard video ok
no monitor needed

Thanks.

I dont have any currently to offer but i would like to point out that you could always add a dvd drive later for around 20 dollars or so if need be.  Only mentioning it in case someone offers one without the drive you want.

i was going to say you could build one (wouldnt take more than one hour to put everything together and than maybe another hour to instal xp) though when i had to get a new copy of xp because my previous copy was a restore disc for my other computer i found a new copy for 80 shipped.  that was going to be the main thing stopping me from fixing my pc-either spend a fortune on xp or buy a whole new pc.

onboard video what if she wants to play quake 4? and will 20gigs be enough for mame?

ill see if anyone i know has one.

Thanks SM.

I've built computers in the past and I had considered that option.  However, once I factor in hopping for components, be it online or B&M, the time involved starts to creep up on you. 

Ans as long as the thing will play Line Rider, she'll be happy!  ;D

It's the XP with COA that's going to be hardest to find.
