What are your segestions for one? Nothing big/fancy. I'm possitive she won't be doing any gaming on it. She doesn't know if she wants a labtop or desktop thou. So if you know your computer stuff, suggest one of both if you don't mind. Nothing pricey either. I would guess no more than $4,000(???). And please, NO Macs.

It was a cold day near the southern base in Blood Gulch. Cortana and I were relaxing over a game of Go Fish, WHEN OUT OF NO WHERE 700 BANSHEES CAME FLYING IN!!! I GRABED MY SPARTAN LASER AND LET HELL REIGN DOWN UPON THEM. I HOPPED IN THE NEAREST WARTHOG AND TOLD CORTANA TO GET IN.

I know what your mom likes...

Got a computer savy friend? Get them to build you one. Get a slightly out-of-date moniter and computer and soup it up.

$4000 dollars? For a pc thats not for gaming? Thats like £2000-3000!!! You could get a brilliant pc for that. If she only wants it for typing and stuff, just get some cheap, bottom of the range thing to save her money. Probably could get one for about $300-$400 (they cost about £200-£300 in britain), especially if you fine the right place.

Heh, I got a top of the line gaming PC here for about $3,000 - the only part less than top-of-the-line is the video card, a Radeon X800 Pro, but the only reason I have that is Newegg.com shipped the wrong one and I'm waiting for the Asus X800 XT to come back in. Of course I put it together myself and OC'ed it with help from HardOCP and some other places and saved a couple thousand dollars.

So, if you're not going to be using thie computer on the side you might as well just head to you local comp store and have them throw together some $400-$500 junk heap that'll work just fine for word processing, e-mail, and other boring office tasks.
