After years of extreme use and abuse, my friend's old Fujistu-Siemens Amilo lappie passed away in a puff of smoke today. So he needs a cheap temporary replacement for about the price stated in the title. And he's going for a desktop.
He's got a monitor, speakers and a mouse, but needs everything else. So what's the best-performing system that you can squeeze into such a budget? He mostly needs it for games, and some university level web-design, coding etc.
I'm currently browsing Scan for some ideas, but would appreciate any input from you guys.
