OK this one has a little background to it before I get smacked for such a cheap system. A teacher friend runs the computer class at the local Highschool and he has come into (or will be soon) some extra money to spend on the class, so he decided they need some new computers (4 to be precise) but he isn't getting THAT much money and he asked me where he should look to buy some inexpensive computers. (looking at dell or Gateway type stuff) Right now he has P3 systems with windows 95 and 98 so upgrades are in order. So I put some thought to it and decided to tell him to build them would be cheapest for what he needs and told him I would build them for him as my little donation to our youth free of charge. only trouble is the amount of money he has to spend on 4 systems. Keep in mind these systems will NEVER have a game or hardcore programs, They are just going to run some simple school programs and connect to the web for school research. This is what I have put together so far and just meets the budget, If anyone has any better or cheaper choices that would be of decent quality.... Please let me know (why I put this post) This is the list I have so far and onboard graphics will be plenty for what we need. and for the case, I've done a build with this case and it seems decent but the PS is way over speced but plenty for these systems.
