Bcis Pc Comparison

My clients needs include an entry level PC as a student first entering college. My client has limited knowledge and proficiency in using a computer and has little need for too many add-ons or for excessive processing power. Basically, my client needs a cheap, economical PC to first learn on before moving on. Basic needs include simply a monitor, printer, PC and internet access just for working on reports and other projects in college. My clients budget is under 900 dollars, and is not looking for anything flashy or excessive. My client will be shopping from major PC distributors, namely Dell, Gateway and Hewlett-Packard for ease of purchase and configuration.
