778742 2009-06-02 01:49:00 I would go with Trademe, Linux and having fun with drivers (your modem might work though, why not get a copy of ubuntu somewhere and test it out?)

For $200 you will be hard pressed to find stuff that would run Vista well...

778743 2009-06-02 05:27:00 Lol, today I visited some PC Shops...

Looks im Im going to have to build it to even come close to $400

Right now with the lowest ie LOWEST priced components I still come up with $720 inc software.

And the shop owners looked at me as if I was from another planet, in fact one even laughed at the thought of a pc for $400 inc vista. (he did offer me a celeron with 184mb of ram however with a copy of windows 98SE still in its jewel case without being opened) :annoyed:

778747 2009-06-02 07:31:00 You could get something like this (edencomputers.co.nz). It'll be better than that sempron. Minus the case, the PSU / OS, and monitor. $325.12 inc GST. Or the case as well (another $89.00). $25 more Speedy Gonzales (78)
