Ok, it has been way too long since I have done this so I'm looking for a little advice here. I have finally talked my parents in to the idea that they need a new computer. I don't know how they do it, but they always screw something up. Now I have taken the liberty of building them a new one and setting an account up for both of them. Obviously they would only have regular user permissions, I would be the Admin so that they can't go installing any random stuff without my permission.
Now, all they need this for is Internet surfing, email, daily spreadsheet activity, and my mom's lesson plans for school. I was thinking about going ahead and just getting them Win7 so they have the most upgraded version of Windows. If anyone opposes to this, let me know. How much RAM do you think they would need with Win7? I was thinking 2GB would probably be fine and just finding some sort of bare-bones kit on TigerDirect.com or Newegg.com
I was wondering if any of you found some deals out there that would help me out? They don't need a monitor, keyboard, or mouse. I'll probably go ahead and get them a new simple case also. I just haven't done this in a while because I got a Mac and I can't remember what are the good brands and all that good stuff. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
