Hmmm, couple of questions.
Firstly, somewhere in there I probably have to fit a legit copy of Office Home and Student (I should have mentioned that in the OP). I can probably chip in for that myself, but I would of course rather not.
Secondly, the screen. It looks awesome. But I really don't know that I will be able to sell buying a second screen to my Dad. Our current one is a Dell 22inch which isnt bad. I would love a better one, but I dont know if I could pass him on one that is nearing $500.
