And since the computer I am on now is the powerhouse, I want to give the computer I build/buy to my parents and take the gaming one into my room or into the office room. The computer I want to get for my parents will just be used for reading e-mail and stuff. I don't need a monitor. I just need the bare minimum. Could anybody hook me up with a computer seller that just sells the tower and stuff inside and no monitor, or some cheap hardware to build my own computer?

Magic Micro makes cheap barebones computers.  But I don't think you necessarily need to go new.  What OS will you be using?  For your parents' needs, even a Pentium 3 would suffice, so e-cycling would be nice.  Go to a thrift store, or ebay and see if there's anything usable there.

//www.woot.com sometimes sells full computers for insanely low prices, but they tend to be really powerful despite the $500-$700 price tag.

All i really need is something that can browse e-mail.
