I've done some of that in my spare time,a nd your best bet is to talk
with the parents, and see how much they want to spend on this system.
Then take the kid and go shopping for parts with them, and show them the
differences between the parts, what does and does not go well togather.
Then order the equipment. Once it gets there, have the kid open the
boxes and start building. I've done this several times with both
teenagers, and adults, and it's been a very positive experience for both
myself and the "student". Also, it seems to be a lot of fun.

Hello All,
I've been asked to help supervise a middle school kid in putting
together a
computer. The parents really want him to have a good learning
experience, and
for me this is a good time to push Linux! The first thing I'd like to
know is
if there are any "kits" out there for building a computer...in my mind
I'm
thinking like buying shelves that you have to put together yourself.
Is anyone aware of anything like that?
Thanks for your help and advice!
Russell
