Intel Config:-
1.Intel64 P4 2.66 LGA775-5k
2.Intel Original 915GAV-4.5k
3.256MB DDR 400MHz ram-1.3k
4.Samsung 17''monitor-5.5k
5.Sony Combo Drive-2.3k
6.Microsoft kb & optical mouse-1k
7.Altec Lansing AVS300(2.1)/creative SBS 370(2.1)-1.3k
8.Seagate sata/baracuda 80GB-2.9/2.6k

All this will come around 25k.if u can then add 256 DDR ram more,256mb is i guess enough for ur kinda work but still if u want.

Hmm, I will refine the list given above by Aniruddh

2X256 MB DDR400 RAM, for dual channel, Intel loves it.

Celeron D is also good but if she is goint to encode movies, Pentium 4 is better, ask her that, if she is not going for movies encoding or DVD ripping, then Get a Celeron D 2.8 GHz.

915GAV is good enough for her, although if found cheap go for Asus P5GL-MX

Syncmaster 793MB Monitor,

Logitech Internet pro desktop, Wireless

Lite-On combo drive SOHC-5236K, what's the use of this movie system without a DVD drive

Creative inspire T3000 speakers, or if affordable then go for iTrigue 3200

Samsung 120 GB SATA HD, with 8 MB buffer, 7200 rpm

APC 500VA UPS, will enough for this system

Frontech cabinet as they give a lot of fan installation options, install a rear exhaust & one side exhaust fan.

Colorsit M300U Power supply or equivelent, don't go for low quality brands for PSU
