Hey Jim,

Do what I do which is to nip over to Tiger Direct and buy a really good refurbished desktop for a few hundred bucks then add another hard drive, extra RAM and a good graphics card.  You'll end up with a kick-ass brand name machine which wont cost the Earth.

Edit:  Ooops!  I'm a bit late.  :-D
