I put together a COMPLETE system on Newegg for $399 the other night...shipped.
Here's what it consisted of:
Case: Linkworld ATX Tower Case with PSU, Item #N82E16811164032 - $20.50
CD-ROM: Samsung Black 52x OE, Item #N82E16827151046 - $14.99
Case Fan: 2 - Speeze 80mm, Item #N82E16835150007 - $1.59/ea
CPU HSF: Spire MicroFlow II Model "SPA07B2", Item #N82E16835151110 - $7.99
Hard Drive: Maxtor 40GB 7200rpm, Item #N82E16822140133 - $46.50
Keyboard: LinkWorld LM601, with mouse and speakers, Item #N82E16823164002 - $15.00
Memory: Rosewill PC-2700DDR, 256MB, Item #N82E16820223005 - $38.00
Monitor: BenQ V773 17" Black, Item #N82E16824014067 - $104.00
Motherboard: PC Chips M847LU V1.5A Socket A, Item #N82E16813185002 - $49.00
- has integrated sound, video, and 10/100Mbps LAN
Processor: AMD Sempron 2200+ @ 1.5GHz, 333FSB, 256KB, Item #N82E16819104201 - $47.00
That's an example of super cheap. The parts came to $346.16, and shipping to Wisconsin was $53.27. If she's really just using for an email/internet machine, that would do the trick for her, easily. Probably be satisfactory for the next ten years!
