ok basically my parents have been using my laptop as their computer. but i managed to destroy it.

so now i need to build them a computer. im thinking a budget of AU$500 maximum.

less if possible.

im gonna find the parts on www.centrecom.com.au and then either buy them from there or find the cheapest ones individually.

they were happy with an 800 mhz cpu and 128 mb ram.
so here goes

cpu:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=26137
core2duo e2180 $110

mobo:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=27942
Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2L $86

dvd:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=23581
lite-on combo- $50

hd:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=18219
seagate 80 gig sata 2 $57

ram:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=28327
Apacer DDR2 2GB PC-6400/800 $50

case:http://www.centrecom.com.au/catalog/...ducts_id=19598
hairong includes 500 watt psu. $66

comes to AU$420

ok what do you think?

i will put my old nvidia 6500 512 in there.

i really dont care about the psu. seeing as its a very cheap system anyway and i probably wont even get that case, its just an idea.

any suggestions?

thanks

Does newegg.com have international shipping? If so, take a look there too.

but this isnt really about where to buy it, im wanting opinions on the actual build. when the time comes ill probably just source the parts from all different places
