Got a family member, friend, or just a casual acquaintance who's looking to get a computer, but doesn't want to spend too much on it? I've taken the time to spec out a computer (via Newegg.com) that will meet any casual person's needs.
What do I mean by casual? I mean someone who uses it primarily to browse the internet, listen to music, play a few Facebook games, make Power Point Presentations, etc. Nothing too serious, but enough to handle some basic needs.
Newegg.com: My Casual Computer
For about $500, you get a very basic computer with its basic elements. You get 3.0 GHz dual-core CPU with an ATI Radeon 3000 motherboard GPU, a 19" Acer monitor, 2 GB of RAM, and a Western Digital 160 GB hard drive. You'll also get the basics such as case, keyboard, mouse, 2.0 speakers, and Windows 7 Home 64-bit.
This is just a starting point for building a casual computer. If you don't like the style of the case, then change it up. If you want a bigger monitor, go ahead. Already have a hard drive or monitor, don't include it in the total.
