Default Girlfriend Build

I'm thinking about building my girlfriend a PC. It will be used for

-Browsing the internet (Facebook / Bank Account)
-Music Occasionally
-Viewing her digital camera photos.

any suggestions?

I was thinking maybe an Atom PC?

Any cheap 15inch laptop (looking at nice pictures on a small screen sucks, hence the idea of a Netbook would blow).

About six months ago, I built my GF a PC using some spare parts and cheap ones I found online. It had my old e6400 with 2x1GB Crucial Lanfest RAM (She still doesn't know how special that is to this day ) and a 7300 for basic video. Cost me about $300 at the time, but it was worth it.

You could also get a laptop for her if she's going to college soon, but choose carefully; there are a lot of duds out there.

Finally, I have a system for sale if you want to look at it, or even call dibs on some parts; might part it out soon.

You would only need to spend about $400ish?

Sounds like a netbook with a hard drive with sufficient space for her music would be all she needs.
