Still have to choose a hard drive, cd burner, network card, ram, and heat sink.

Just out of curiousity...I am predicting that this computer will cost my friend in the range of $300..do you think it is possible? That's without a monitor. Thanks.

It could work, depending how much ram and storage space is needed.
