[SOLO-350Z]

I just purchased as a gift to my mom a new computer that I built and it cost me less than $300 bucks. She has a older Dell that is a POS with a loud HD that you can hear from the other room. It also needs to be blown out every 6 months, for some reason this thing is senstive to dust, if it gets too much it sounds like a jet engine because of the Big rear fan blowing at max speed.

No monitor, or HD.

She didn't need a gaming machine, but this machine can definitely do it. I also like the Express Gate feature on the ASUS board where if you just need to get on the web real fast, 5 seconds you are on from power off. It screams and it has good onboard video for what she needs. The case had free shipping (since cases cost the most to ship was the key to keeping the price low) and it actually is a nice case. I also had a spare 120gig SATA WD 7200 RPM HD I am giving her, and she has a 18" LCD currently.

Here are the items I got.
