Hi,

I need a quote for a basic PC for one of my friends (no profit to me)

Specs whatever is necesarry to run XP & to last as long as possible. just a basic system for e-mail etc. no gaming or anything stressful on the machine.

also, what's the latest price for WIN XP home?

Budget for system excl windows : <R7000.

For R7000 you can build a very decent PC. In fact you could squeeze 2 computers on that budget to do the things you mentioned.

Just visit incredible and pick up a 4k machine from there, add a decent 19" screen and you still under 7k

Not sure if they have a shop on Venus, well actually I know they only have shops in Natal, but the lowest spec pc on the pczone website would be fine for you requirements and is only R2199. Throw in a 17" LCD monitor at R1500 and you have all you need.

You can most definitely have two machines for that price :)

The easiest will probably be to buy a pre-built PC and just add the parts that you need :)

Take a look at the Performer PC from PCint. Here (just scroll down a bit) It comes with a 19'' LCD. :)

That is one hell of a budget for an email etc machine.

Use onboard graphics and you've already saved a cool 2k+ compared to a gaming machine.

Perhaps this person might also be interested in a machine that runs silently. In my experience silence counts for a lot when it comes to ppl who work at their PC and don't game.

I'd recommend Prophecy.co.za as a supplier.
