I can give you the phone number of a company that sells off lease Dell, HP, etc for around $300. This would be a PIII 800 mhz machine with 256MB RAM, Windows 2000 pro, a keyboard, and mouse(no monitor). For $25 extra you can get a three year warranty with it. Over the past six months, the school district I work for has ordered several hundred, or maybe 1000 of these machines. They seem to work pretty well. I have one in my classroom and it does everything I need it to do.

Let me know if you, or anyone else wants one. I will just give you the number. I have no affiliation with the company, but for the price I might even get one for my own home.

Had a guy bring a Sony Vaio (w/ P4) to the shop the other day for a check up. He got the whole thing from a local pawn shop for 250 including a Sony 19" monitor. Check them pawn shops!

Thanks for the suggestions. She will be using it for internet and word processing. Maybe a little bit of music. Wait a minute, a lot of music! I didn't even think about that! I guess I need something with output to her stereo. Thanks Anonymouse. What kind of sound card to I need for output to stereo?

Check out Dell.com for current TV ad specials. You can get a good computer for cheap with a monitor:
