Wintel does very much suck -- don't do it. Trust me.... I spent 10 years with wintel. I finally decided to get my next machine. I waited until Amiwest hoping it would be OS4.0, but alas... we wait more.
I picked up an intel mac. The more I use it the more I think this is where Amiga would have been 5 years ago if it was not for 1994.
Many ex-amiga people have bought macs in the past and I understand why. The Mac has always felt like a close cousin. I even remember many people referred to the Amiga as a colour Mac back in the day.
Trust me when I say a 20inch iMac will make you feel more at home, and will still let you run windows on it. And here is the bonus, you can also run UAE on it too.
