The kids just need internet access and MS Office. They also need a video card so they can play Lego Star Wars and Cars.
Costco has an emachines C6357 complete system with a nVidia GeForce 6100 for just $499 (flat monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, RW DVD and CD). It's Vista compatible, but I don't really care about that right now. It's got a 2-year warranty and Costco will take it back up to 6 months.
We bought a Dell 6 months ago and it's been nothing but trouble and their customer service and tech support is complete CRAP. If money was no object, I'd take a sledgehammer to it.
Remember, I only want to spend about $500, I want it to work, I want to be able to take it back, we won't be using it for photos or music or any major big-league games. The kids are 5 and 7 - they want to play Lego Star Wars, practice typing and go to disney.com.
Thanks in advance!
