This is absolutely the cheapest "modern" pc i'm seen, but hey at least its 3 ghz despite its celeron. I think 3 ghz will more than suffice for web surfing and light gaming.

get this one if u actually wanna help out ur friend and get him a decent pc. For 400 bucks, this is one cheap and decent motherfecker: amd athlon 64 3700+, 1 gig ram, with mouse/keyboard/case/power supply. Pretty sweet

Those are Barebone kits. They aren't complete computers.

ah, so they are. Have you maybe thought of just buying the parts the barebones kits don't include? Say it's missing a mouse, then perhaps just buy a mouse along with it?

lol windows bowling, in that case get him the cheap ass barebone and rip him off. I bet u could throw in couple hundred more megs of RAM and say the comp's worth like 400. He won't know.:naughty:

ram also

edit, looks like it comes with ram...

I don't wanna rip him, he's such a nice guy.

Don't rip him off, just tell him that you need to profit.
