$10 more 80gb -> 250gb  Don't give them an 80GB hdd.

$28 1GB -> 2GB ram.  I won't even use XP without 2GB of ram.  Plus this is the 10600 oooo ahhhh pretty.

 

So these are the two areas I would suggest they spend a bit more money if they have it.

I dearly hope you aren't buying that computer for performance. Really, if you are going to buy a computer with such crappy components, why not just buy one off ebay for ~50$?

 

That computer has some very similiar specs to my old computer -- In 2003.

Also let me put it another way, if you add 200$, you can go from a computer that couldn't even start up Crysis to running it on max graphics at about ~10 frames a second. Realize that any drawing/art program you want to run will most likely not run on that computer as well. The video card is total crap, (4200 onboard?), and 1 GB of ram?

Yeah, so whats wrong with buying a computer off Ebay for 50$? Thats 1/6th the price for the same purpose.

 

Also realize, some of those ebay lots come with a genuine version of XP. Even better, as the computer you bought doesn't come with an OS.
