    I need to find a computer for my Mom.
    She is very simple: plays jigsaw, Mahjongg.. Does not even have internet.

    She had Pentium 4 1.8 recently but MB is bad so would like to get her one that is new...ish, Refurbish because you can find lower end (not gaming type) systems at a good price.

    She defiantly wants a Small form factor type to put on her desk.

    These are the ones I have come down to and I want you opinion because I have heard some have overheating, power supply.......Problems.
    I could get her faster Pentium 4 but I can get a Core 2 Duo for about the same price.

    What are your thoughts on listed below?

    HP Compaq dc7700 Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz 2GB 80GB CD-RW/DVD Windows 7 Home Premium Ultra-slim Desktop
    Model#: DC7700U-C2D186-MAR-2R - $139.99

    HP Compaq dc7700 Small Form Factor - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.1GHz, 1GB DDR2, 80GB HDD, Combo, Windows 7 Home Premium
    Model#: RB-DC7700C2D - $159.99

    Dell OptiPlex 755 Core 2 Duo E6550 2.33GHz 2GB 80GB CD-RW/DVD Vista Business Small Form Factor
    Model: OptiPlex 755 SFF - $149.99

    Thanks,
    Debbie
