Looking for some hardware

[jonnyX]

Howdy,

Figured I'd try here first before going the Craigslist/eBay/Newegg/Amazon route.

I'm looking for some x86 hardware. My mom's Windows desktop is currently dead. She's going to be on her back for the next several months, since she broke her ankle pretty badly last week. I'm going to be paying most of the medical bills, so I'm trying to keep upgrade expenses low (preferably non-existent). I've got most of the hardware I need, here's what I'm looking for:

Case - mini tower or equivalent preferred, big enough for two hdds and one dvd/blu-ray drive, plus some extra cooling fans; something small enough for a woman in her 70s to move around if necessary, but large enough to stay cool inside; her current desktop case apparently did not cool well.

Power supply - 350+ watts.

Monitor - 17+ inches, DVI or HDMI; larger is better for older eyes.

Email me privately if you've got anything I'm looking for, let me know how much, and I'm happy to pick up items where ever & when ever convenient (except for Tuesday, July 2nd through Thursday, July 4th).

Thanks,

~~Dru / jonnyX

For something small, think of an Intel NANO.  Possibly to small, but powerful.    It is not a tower, but another little box, like an external DVD writer.

Some of my elderly (yes, there are folks older than even me <grin>) locally have been buying all-in-one's and loving it.  No 'cup holder' out front for cd/dvd, 

but often have them built in (side mounted).  Locally Walmart is their level of tech.

I know Dell makes them (with or without touch screen), all have keyboards and mouse.  

Let us know what you decide.
