Default cheap pc for christmas

someone has asked me to build them a pc for their 11 year old daughter for homework/word processing etc.

all they need is a colour printer with it.

pc world cheapest one is about 350, is there any other places cheaper prebuilt ones than that as I dont think he wants to pay a lot.
