Additional Comments: My grandparents are in need of a new PC. My grandfather plays a lot of RTS games (Specifically C&C)
They travel around in there trailer a lot. So they need a new PC that is efficient and small. It don't need to be super fast. But I would like it to be able to run C&C Generals 2 (When it comes out) well. I was thinking about building one with an APU and an Aftermarket cooler to keep it cool when they go south for the winter. But I was wondering if anyone else has some Ideas?
