Good: http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/desktops/p6270z_series/3/computer_store?jumpid=in_r329_personalization/browse2/landing_SDP
Decent: http://www.shopping.hp.com/series/category/desktops/p6250t_series/3/computer_store?jumpid=in_r329_personalization/browse3/landing_SDP

I'd also like to point out that the "decent" computer is still great--it's just only decent when compared to the "best" computer.

And one last note: the "good" computer is using an AMD chipset. If you like cheaper, go with that. If you prefer Intel (like myself), go with the "best" or "decent" computer.

I own the "best" computer, and it's great. Except I got it for $450 after tax and everything :>

Hmmm, this is very useful. Thanks, Slurryboo!

of corsh, anytime.

Just a note though: those won't be able to play games, as you'd have to buy a graphics card. And buying a sound card would be nice too, as the sound won't be perfect. But if you're used to bad-sounding music (read: iPod earbuds) then it doesn't matter.

Eh, I can care less about computer games, but I am, however, used to Skullcandy Headphones. Oh well, I can manage.

In that case, you might want to consider picking up a Creative soundcard in the $30 range, it should boost your sound quality up to around SC-level. Entirely optional, though. I don't even use a sound card and I'm a major audiophile. I stick with my HD201s and my Turtle Beaches. :>
