I've become a fan of Dell PC systems. I picked up a brand new Dell about 6 months ago with a 1.8Ghz Intel P4 processor, 40GB hd, nVidea gaming graphics card, ethernet port, USB etc for less than $600. That leaves plenty for a nice 19 inch monitor by ViewSonic. It's been a really great machine for me. If you cruise the Dell site, you can see what's on sale and then lower the price even more by custom eliminating what you don't need. For example, I didn't need a modem or monitor..
My main work machine is a 500Mhz Powerbook which I really love. It's my prime utility machine and most of the work I do for TSN is done on this machine. I hook it up via USB to the same monitor and keyboard/mouse using a switch box. I like that I can take it on the road too, but that machine cost me about $2000 two years ago.
