under a GHz with a large (40GB) HDD, plenty of RAM, USB, modem, ethernet, and
17" monitor for < $600.
If you're saying that you'd _buy_ that setup, please send me you're
snail-mail address off-list. I'd really like to establish a fee-based
support contract. :)
Really high-end PC hardware isn't much better than midrange, but
low-end hardware is a verifiable black hole. To wit, it is guaranteed
to suck.
