Well, I'm building a brand new, that's right, a brand new computer!
...For my Aunt, not for me...
Well, this computer is mainly going to be used for Internet, E-Mail, Word, Excel, and Photos.
But, my Aunt also wanted the computer to be compatible with Vista, for the future. But, XP for now.
So, the part the you all have been waiting for:

That's the main part! I also threw in a Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110, and Windows XP Pro OEM.
This is going to be her main computer. Her back-up computer isn't that bad though. Still an Athlon 64 X2 4200+ AM2, with 1GB of Memory, 160 GB HD.
Well, how does it look? From a business perspective, since that's what this computer will be mainly used for, work (Word, Excel, Internet, E-Mail). IMO, I think it's a pretty decent machine that can run games as well...better than mine.
So, the grand total was ~$750, including shipping. And there's also $30 in MIR.
