Default Internet PC for Living Room


Hi guys. Im looking forward to put a PC in the living room for the guests to access internet and do simple office work. I dont like them fiddling my own pc thats why.

Alright here are the things I need. I dont care if its low end in any sense, dont have it to be a powerhouse.
1. Should be dead serious about power saving. I will keep it always on, on standby when not in use. Will also use it for downloads if necessary.
2. 15" LCD 1024x768 (Cheapest one will do. No Multimedia usage. Only internet and office work)
3. KB+Mouse Combo.
4. Makeshift Stereo Speakers.
5. Good looking cabinet (preferably horizontal and small form) with around 250 w PSU
6. Proccy that consumes really less power, no multicore needed. Cheap(est) will do. Semprons are okay for that isnt it?
7. 512 MB DDR2 667 Atleast.
8. Basic Mobo with onboard graphics, sound and lan.
9. 80 Gb HDD atleast. But that should be enough for this purpose.
10. No optical drive needed as I will network it to my primary PC.

Thank you.
Bikalp Paudel
