Help Me Pick a Tower Computer.

Need Calguns, e-mail, regular internet, no gaming.
Data storage probably not an issue for modern computers.

If its just for internet, internet, and storing photos, a "nettop" computer is all you really need. And they can be had for under $200. A USB hard drive can be purchased later if he feels the need for more storage as well. Careful with what you're buying; some of the really low priced options do not come with RAM or an SSD; you will have to buy those and install them (plug them in really) The downside is it WILL be outdated in about 4 years, however given the low price of these, it might be a better value overall.

My company has installed thousands of THESE in cubicles. They work well enough at $500, however about $125 of that price is due to its tiny size; you can get a better price if you go with a larger form factor.

In my estimation, AMD will have better value processors, both are solid processors.

Google is not my friend, there are too many choices out there.

I am looking for a new tower computer, do not want to build one.
Relatively low end, maybe ~$500 or so.

I currently have an old HP Pavilion that has lasted a long time.

Suggestions?
Brand?
Any special Intel chips or video cards?

Heck, I don't even know the right questions to ask.

Thanks.

Yeah...

I can not be much help to those that do not at least try to educate themselves on what they want or need. Well, you kinda know what you need and it is a basic white box with nothing special...

I can only feel good about pointing you to here:

Just know that this one here is a top of the line laptop and in order to reboot it you turn it upside down and shake...
