Check out frozencpu.com; u can get a few good parts from them, otherwise either buy a prepackaged computer or ask a nerdy friend.... Always look at the newest technology; Pentium 4, Lanparty motherboard, ATA2 Harddrive, Windows Vista, ATI graphics card

If you want to try and build one yourself then I would go for a "barebones" PC which is usually just the processor, motherboard, case and fan.  if you want to stay on the cheap side then go for the AMDs and if you want performance then the AMD64 would be right up your ally.  Good Luck

the main thing is ... at least 512 RAM, if not 1 GB\n\neverything else should be OK

Find out what motherboard you have and then search the manufactuers website for the manual (unless you already have it). That will tell you what CPU you can attach to your motherboard.

You should build the computer yourself. You can get many parts that you need from garage sales and the like. The parts that I would still buy would be: ATX Case w/power supply (nothing fancy now, just a case w/400 watt power supply), a CPU, a Motherboard, a SATA 250GB-300GB HDD for security reasons, a OEM copy of Windows XP Pro ($140). Unfortunately, CPUs are expensive! You'll have to save your pennies for that!  DVD/CD drives can be found on most recent computers at garage sales. Just ask them if the CD or DVD drives are working. Strip the memory out of the old ones too, it may work in your build. There is usually a sticker on the memory that gives the info on it for that stick. If you put it yours just make sure that it is the right type for the mobo and CPU. This could become a family project, have the kids help you out! They have lots of friends looking to rid themselves of old computers. You can make use of those parts! Go to the library and borrow books on how to build computers. There are a lot of them out there! Shop at Newegg.com on the weekends for parts, they have weekend sales on new parts every weekend. This isn't going to be a $200 computer, but it WILL be what you want! You also can buy parts as you can afford them, and there's no finance charges on cash!

Here is a fairly detailed website from the year 2000. It might be closer to the old components that you will be using:\nhttp://www.sharkyextreme.com/hardware/guides/build_computer/\nGood luck! It will be a learning experience for all!
