Have a look at the Ars Technica system guide, updated every few months: http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/system-guide-200604.ars Ars System Guide: April 2006 edition Brian Won Sunday, April 16, 2006 Recommendations come in the form of three hypothetical computers. Budget Box: This puppy is dedicated to finding the least expensive options possible while still giving you full functionality. The Budget Box may sound cheap, but it's not. It's simply inexpensive jet power, priced at under US$800. Hot Rod: This one's been juiced up, but with limited funds. Think of the auto hobbyist. He may not buy the fastest car out there, but he does the best he can with what he's got. We try to keep the Hot Rod under US$1,600. God Box: This is for the guy who has just won the lottery, or whose company is funding the purchase (same thing). -- Karl Vogel I don't speak for the USAF or my company vogelke at pobox dot com http://www.pobox.com/~vogelke I forgot and left the lighthouse on all night.
