Asrock are usually the better deal or try Foxconn but i prefer Asrock in the cheap arena

Processors go for a AMD x 2 550 Athlon.. there cheap and run Windows 7 well with 2gb of ram - get a ddr3 motherboard as ddr3 is cheaper than ddr 2..

I suggest you look on e-bay or craig's list for a used PC.

If it's just for kids and not for old kids playing 3D games, just about any computer will do.....

It's hard to build a scratch computer for less than the high volume manufactures like Dell, HP, or Gateway.....Just start pricing things out and you'll quickly see....unless you have a computer with most of the parts already and are just upgrading it a bit.

This would be fine : $350
