I'm not sure their budget will allow even that much. That's why they believe
using the TV as the monitor will save them money. I've been able to find them a
used Pentium 2 400MHz IBM Aptiva for $120. They want to keep total costs to
about $150.



Oh boy...
In the country where IBM has "invented" the personal computer are prices
for outdated stuff is that high?

Over here in germany you can get a P2-400 with 128MB RAM, 4GB HDD,
32xCD-ROM and a ATI RagePro 4MB graphics card and CreativeLabs
soundcard for 50,- to 80,- EUR. Keyboard and mose included and a 15"
Monitor is added for free....
I just sold a Dell GX1 desktop for EUR 35,- after noone wanted it for
EUR 50,-... Sure, it had "only" a P2-266 and 64MB RAM. Had a 15" monitor
included in my offer but there was no need for it to the buyer....
