580823 2007-08-14 08:24:00 ... for a reasonably good cause.
I have been asked by my step father if I can build an old computer for real cheap (he's paying). His sister has just lost her husband (in the last month) of cancer, and my stepfather is thinking if we give her a computer she can stay in touch with the family via email. Step-father lives in Tauranga, his sister lives in Whakatane. I think her kids are in Tauranga too.

Anyway, I can supply monitor, cdrom, PS2 keyboard, OS, PC100/133 RAM, and time for build etc. If I can get hold of a motherboard (with CPU), case, mouse for cheap (like I said, very strict budget so I can pay for post, and some cheap parts), it would be greatly appreciated. PM me please
Thanx

580825 2007-08-14 09:03:00 I've a spare mouse I'm happy to send.

It's just basic, but free.

( Unless anyone else has a fancier version to donate?)

Let me know what postage will cost, and I will re-imburse you

I got a 256 ram x 2. A plug and play external modem (microm I think), I will have a look when i get home, whole buncha stuff just sitting their collecting dust.I have an internal (Dynalink IIRC) modem already, but thanks for that.

580830 2007-08-14 11:45:00 Hmmm...can't find it. Sorry, I thought the system was still in the basement. Guess my ever-so-clean mother put it out for that organic collection thing.

Here's a few cheap things going on trademe if you're interested:

580831 2007-08-14 11:54:00 How much is real cheap?

I have box here that I think has a celereon 2.6(?) in it. Quite a nice modern looking case.:D

Has a legit XP serial and CD.

I was just going to drop a replacement HD in her out of my stock pile,instal XP and flick it off.....
