I'm a bit busy atm but I'll attempt to do something to see if I'm right or not by this evening.. however if you're trying to make it as cheap as possible.. those sound pretty nice.. you just have to remember children grow up, and computers do not.. One day they'll want to play hl3 and upgrading a slightly up to date computer is cheaper than buying a new one over a super outdated one.
