Good day. My friend wants me to make list for his future desktop. I sort of talked him into not buying mainstream pcs but here it is:


(all on newegg)

G.SKILL 2GB 200-Pin DDR2 SO-DIMM DDR2 533
($27.99)

Rosewill RK-7310 Black 104 Normal Keys 7 Function Keys USB Super Slim Multimedia Keyboard
($14.99)

Logitech SBF-96 Black 3 Buttons 1 x Wheel USB Wired Optical Mouse
($8.25)

Microsoft Windows XP Home With SP2B for System Builders 1 Pack
($89.99)

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

The grand total comes to $596.18

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

I would like to point out couple things

He will just surf internet, play music on that pc so I tough It be a good idea to do with Intel Atom. He wanted 500gb hard drive since he has alot of songs. From the reviews on the newegg of the msi barebone that has intel atom it states they work well in windows xp,task manager shows two cores (hyper threatening I guess...neat!)


I think its a pretty good deal going with Intel Atom for $150 instead of buying motherboard and cpu.

Tell me what you think of this list!
