My opinion on buying one:

Dont get too expensive...$1500 or more is too expensive...

Emachines is around $500 for 80gb and its a great use for a comp

There is no such thing as peace and there never will be. Peace is a delusion believed by the weak. Gandhi said : "An eye of an eye would leave the whole world blind". So be it because only a blind world can experience the peace that it deserves. But there in lay the sick irony. Who will be able to see this peace? The human species is at war. The enemy walks among us nearly invisible. Only those with true discernment can see them. But only one with discernment and vision can show them to others

Spongemonkey, what price range of a computer are you looking for?

/me brings thread back on topic...

At Best Buy, this is a decent computer + monitor + printer for $800.

Of course, building your own will get you the best price/performance, but I don't recommend doing that unless you know a lot about computers.  If you're willing to shop online, there are often better deals than what you can find at Best Buy.

Also, patrick101, I have a few suggestions.  Instead of the 5700LE, you should go for the 9600xt.  I recommend the Abit NF7-S2 motherboard.  Instead of 3 256mb sticks of kingston,  you can get 2 512 sticks of some other brand.  Or just get one 512 stick now, and another stick later if you need it.  The NF7-S2 has excellent onboard sound, so buying a sound card wouldnt be necessary.

I'm about to build a $250 computer, but I already have most of the parts.

The computer that I helped Sirbors build was pretty amazing.  

1700+
Msi KT4-VL
768mb pc2100
CD-RW
160gb
Geforce MX4000

It ended up costing around $200.

160gb? I would think that would make the computer slower than it usually is O_o;;

Umm, no.  Larger does not equal slower.  It's a 7200rpm.

ssj, you could have a 400 gb hard drive and it would still go fast if you have enough memory and processor speed.

Hmm... Dells are cheap, but I'd go with a Compaq then.
