help finding a cheapo desktop PC
MRS B & I are looking for a cheapo desktop system for a christmas gift for the kids (son & DIL that are expecting)
neither one is computer savvy, mostly it will be used for light web browsing & emailing pictures of the new kiddo this part of the world is not heavy with discount electronics reatilers...  does anyone know of any online retailers with any great deals on a complete starter system, I'm sure I've got a spare printer for them, but no extra monitors at the moment mrs santa & I thank you in advance **oops** **EDIT** fixed!

 Honestly though, are you sold on a desktop or would a laptop do? Price range? Costco had decent laptops for about $600 right now.

 thanks for the suggestions, I'm giving them a look-see we've already spent a more $$ (than I'm supposed to know about) on the kids & grandkid already, and have parents & other kids to shop for, so as cheap as we can find is exactly the budget
