Additional Comments:

Kind of just getting a feel for what is out there right now for this kind of build. I will probably hold off until Thanksgiving for deals as the buyer is a cheap SOB and will want the best value. This PC is for a home office for someone who runs a (very) small business. Multiple productivity software applications (MS Office) and websites will be in use so multitasking is the most important thing. Dual monitors (19" or larger) are also a requirement so take that into consideration (both for price and build considerations). The buyer wants a SSD (at least 60 gb) and if an additional HDD is needed that can be cannibalized from elsewhere. 8 gb RAM is requested. Also, the case should not have lights shooting out of it or look too crazy.

Thanks in advance

=( dual monitor and a ssd on a $600 budget. I am sorry but if anyone were to make a working computer, it would be a really crappy one.

The only thing left after buying those ssd n monitors would be about 250- 350 dollars.

Well the dual monitors can go as low as 19" which seem fairly cheap (under $100 each) nowadays. A can find 60gb SSD for $60 recently (suspect quality?) and take into account I am not asking for an OS nor need a dedicated GFX card for this machine. Keep in mind this isn't going to be used for gaming/video at all.

it has a mobo: the AS Rock in the combo.

It does lack a DVD burner and a mechanical HDD. Ifg you have SATA ones, you can cannibalize.


Alternately, you can use the triple-core Llano with this Gigabyte Mobo:

and add a $18-20 DVd burbner ($608-610)

Oh yeah, I didn't see that. It's a pretty good build.
