Need to put together a new machine for my mother as a Christmas present, but the budget is a bit tight.

Any good specials out there at the moment ? Don't feel like building it myself, but that might be an option.

Was thinking at least a P4, 80GB HDD, CD-RW, 512 MB RAM.

Matrix warehouse have an entry model Celeron for R1999. Needs 256MB more memory, monitor, keyboard & mouse, to reach your requirements.

For R500 more they have one incl kb, mouse, P4, and DVD-RW (go figure :))
 
dude get a cheapass celeron with 256 meg ram

doesnt sound like you need more than 256 meg ram

That is what i would suggest as well. My mom uses a P3 with only 128MB RAM and it runs XP just fine for what she needs it( mostly wordprocessing and some browsing...) so that should be fine...

That looks like a fair deal, have a brand new keyboard & mouse lying around - would have to stick a bit more memory in it. Let's see if there is anything left in mt wallet other than receipts.
