So I'm trying to build a friend a budget pc. He has a pretty low budget so it's not much to work with, but I know it's possible. I figured maybe some kind of combo build from newegg since I notice they have some pretty nice discounts like -$35.00 etc etc with the DIY build things, and I know even small amounts off the price really add up on such a low budget. He has a 1TB external HDD, so he doesn't need a large HDD. He just wants something modern (He has a 10 year old Dell with 512 MB of Ram, so damn near anything will probably surprise him in terms of speed) with a pretty low budget, but he asked if it was possible to get 2-3 burners into the computer so he can burn multiple cds at a time. I'm not sure if it's possible on the budget..and he said if it's not, just leave a burner or two out (naturally he needs at least 1). He also asks if it's possible to get 2 monitors hooked up so maybe he could watch movies, but again I'm not sure in that department honestly. Thanks!
