    hi,

    I'm setting up a small internet cafe, and I am purchasing 6 computers.
    I've got quotes from Dell and a few others and they're fairly expensive, so I've decided to build them instead.

    Would anyone please be so kind as to build a decent machine for around €300 ? Windows 7 is optional, but if someone knew a cheap source for it that would be great.

    Thanks

    What about hard drives - is it just internet browsing or do you intend to install any additional programs? I assume you want monitors included too?... That makes the budget around €200.

    HDD would want to be at least 250gb I suppose, and 4gb Ram. We can buy monitors seperately, so €300 would be just for the desktop, but would need to include a keyboard and mouse.
    Thank you.

    You can get a keyboard and mouse from amazon.co.uk for less than €25. Don't buy a keyboard from hardwareversand as you'll get a German one.

    Do you need the HDDs to be 250GB? I was thinking about suggesting 32/64GB SSDs.

    Was considering ssd's, but what would be the price difference?

    That's why I asked you about the storage requirements. You can get a 60GB SSD for €50-60 or so and about €70-80 for the cheaper 128GB ones. 64GB is plenty for windows and your basic office programs.
