I've been talking to my friend recently, and he's been considering getting either a low end laptop, or a really terrible desktop and getting better components, then installing them. He's considering getting it because his current shared laptop is terrible, and it only has about 200 MB RAM. He's basically getting it to play Minecraft, as his parents don't trust any other games and think everything else is a "virus".
I'm honestly not too good at this stuff, and I told him I would consult you guys. I would appreciate it if you could help find a decent laptop for $400 (or less, but a decent laptop for $400 is unlikely), or help find a somewhat crappy desktop that is cheap enough for him to buy a 4 GB RAM chip and a 2.2 GHz (I think that's what he said, it's a little hard to remember, I recall him saying he could go a little bit lower) scratch that. He said a 1.5 GHz processor. Possibly an OK graphics card as well.
Thanks. >_>
