Can you build it?

Or should I buy it?

My oldest daughter has it in her head that she needs a computer all for her very own. This would actually be ok with me, as I wouldn't have to kick her off of mine all the time.

So here's the question... Should I have it built, or should I just go out and buy one?

She's leaning towards a Mac, but I think that's only because she saw one of those clear ones and thought it was really cool. I don't know that she really needs a Mac though.

Basically, she'll be on it to surf the web, do e-mails, write out homework assignments, and edit pics and video. She doesn't do a whole lot of gaming, except the generic stuff that comes with Linux. Also, she'd like to be able to watch movies on it, and burn her own music cd's.

Suggestions? Volunteers to build her something? She's already started saving her babysitting cash to pay for this, and she wants to get something soon. I'll take suggestions for the OS, the actual hardware, or any name brand box that you can think of.

Thanks to all!!
