Recomend a small pre-built system for my retired parents.

[chrestomanci]

Hello

My parents (both retired) are looking to buy a new computer in the January sales. It will mostly be used for web surfing, email, word processing and photo editing. It needs to be compatible with linux, and fairly small.

They where previously using an old Shuttle SFF system of mine, but recently the PSU blew up for the second time, and the CRT monitor also stopped working. They have decided that it would be best to buy a complete new system rather let me repair it for them. Naturally they have asked me for advice, but I don't know much about what is good in the world of pre-built systems these days?

Any pointers?
