About 3 weeks ago I bought my mom the following:

Standard chassis (with front panel connectors for USB and audio) with 300W PSU
Foxconn 45CMX Motherboard
Celeron M 530 1.6GHz
1GB DDR2-667MHz
Samsung DVD+/-RW

It cost around R1300-00incl

I used an old 20GB hard-drive I had, as well as an LG 15" CRT and keyboard, mouse and speakers that I had lying around.

For old stuff, check out this thread; maybe they have something left:

Otherwise, check out your nearest Hospice shop. The one in Pretoria at Corner of General Louis Botha and Lynnwood has full PCs for R200-00 (R100 for case, R100 for monitor), and if you get there on the right days, they sometimes do 50% off all Electronics. Not the greatest machines ever, but they run Win98 fairly smoothly (from what I've seen)
