    First of I'm a web dev and second I use mac.

    Someone has approached me looking for me to get them a good machine for less than 500 but as close to 300 as possible.

    Now all they will be doing is officey stuff, internet, YouTube, watching the odd movie and "databases" - which I'm going to assume is MS access :pac:

    The person doesn't need a monitor nor mouse or keyboard
    Also doesn't need windows as I have an unlicensed copy of win7 lying round here.

    I was thinking of this

    http://www3.hardwareversand.de/pcconfigurator.jsp?pcConfigurator.asid=548772&pcConfigurator.gpOnly=0

    It's the middle-class machine on hardware versand's site.

    Also forgot to mention I need this pre built as if I mention I built it myself I become the free tech support guy for the rest of my life.*



    * may have already happened.
