So after convincing my parents to let me stop their laptop-abuse (no thermal paste at ALL, the poor thing) and go from 1gb RAM to 2gb they are more receptive to my offer of building them a computer.
My Mum wants to keep the laptop. My Dad wants a "real computer" aka desktop. I thoroughly agree that Dad should have his own comp because of how hard he hits the keyboard. I'm waiting for the day when a frantic call about a smashed case and bleeding fingers comes through.
Most of the stuff I've read about building desktops is all about the top o' the line. The worst thing my Dad is going to do to this desktop is break mice, keyboards and do some internet surfing. So I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for a low powered rig that is perfect for word processing. They want it cheap... but it will probably be cheap just because it won't have much power so money is not really an issue per se.
Thanks, ~BP
