Pc for dad

Mohenjo

So my dad is gonna need an office PC soon. He isnt gonna do much he just needs it for basic book keeping. But he needs wifi and he wants it small. small as possible. I dont want to go over 500 (including windows)

Thats what i have so far. 

Are there any smaller cases? It doesnt need to support gpus but needs to support dual monitors (one DVI one HDMI though i can use converters). Also willing to use SFX PSUs as long as they dont cost too much more.

A NUC might be a better choice, small and portable.

It has a built in 200watt power supply - which is enough for your build.

A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve.

Well, that PSU is about the same overall "quality" as the "power bricks" that come with laptops, etc, so it should be OK.
