PC to bring a friend back to EQ

Do you have any experience putting together a PC?
If you don't its pretty easy and you can find guides online.
A good place to buy parts is newegg.com
However it is often cheaper to buy a computer from a manufacturer when you want a super low-end computer because that is where they make the least profit and it is more of a commodity business for them.

if you think you can do this, then you likely can. i'd imagine you could put together an EQ-worthy PC for under $100. newegg.com has some nice holiday deals.

things you'll need:

static guard
small screwdriver
end.

Second the Newegg recommendations. Haven't tried building ultra-cheap, so I'm not sure how low you can really go, but my current rig was built with a quad-core processor, 4GB RAM, and a 1GB Radeon for around $600. I also ran through the Cyber Monday list for S&G and rigged up a similar box (dual-core and 512 MB GeForce) for $450.
