... is mum's new computer.
Today, we finally ordered him. In pieces, of course, since it's the only way to a) get exactly the system you want and b) not to have stuff in there you never use.
So, here is the configuration (links lead to the online store we use to get most of our tech stuff because it's got a big selection, is fast and overall relatively cheap):

CPU: AMD Athlon64 X2 EE 4200+ Link
Mainboard: MSI K9N SLI-2F Link
RAM: Kingston HyperX DIMM 1 GB Kit Link
Graphics: MSI NX7600GS-T2D512EH Link
HDD: Samsung SP2504C (250 GB, SATA) Link
DVD-RW: Samsung SH-S183A (18x, SATA) Link
Power supply: Chieftec GPS-500AB (500 W) Link
CPU fan: Cooler Master HyperTX AMD Link
Case: Chieftec BG-02B-B-B (black) Link

Did you notice the X2 in the CPU's name? Yes, Ho-chan will be the first dual core PC in our family. Cool :D
Can't wait to get the parts, put them together and try him out.
BTW, I think you'll be able to guess where the name came from ;)
The old comp (Hermine) will be inherited by dad who needs it to use his new English learning program.
Wow, that'll be seven machines for four people, if you count the laptops O_o
