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?

the 3700+ is overkill for web, email, and his idea of gaming, which I foudn out to be windows bowling.

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.

Or a graphics card or hard drive etc...

Minor little things.

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.
