Recently picked up an HP desktop, 6320 series:

AMD Phenom II x4 2.8ghz
8gb DDR3 RAM
1tb HD
Integrated NVIDIA Geoforce 9100 graphics
Built in wireless LAN 802.11b/g/n
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit

plus an HP 2009m 20" widescreen LCD for $800 bucks (bankrupt-CA sales tax raped me). I was impressed with this computer out of the box, VERY quiet, booted up much faster than the equivalent Intel Quad-core workhorse I used at my previous employer, and it wasn't full of all the lame start up apps that they used to package on the systems.

I had a re-gifted Sapphire Radeon 3850 512mb DDR3 sitting around, picked up a Rosewill 530w, 33a @ 12v power supply for 45 bucks shipped, spent about 10 minutes popping them in, and I have a $850 computer setup that kicks my old work comp right in the nads.

The most recent game I have is Doom 3, so I'm not really looking for extreme gaming capabilities. It is handling 2 hour plus audio and video podcast editing easily and without a twitch.

I'm partial to HP (as a shareholder) and because I've had good luck with the brand, I still own every HP I've ever bought and they still run. I turned my old 2005 desktop into an HTPC type setup for the living room. 

I do admit that The Cleaner's setup makes mine look like a eunuch, however.

 Thx everyone.

[The Cleaner]

Couldn't be happier with my new setup, Yowza.  I highly recommend it.

[The Cleaner]

Well Yowza, what did you come up with?  I'm curious.

[yowza]

Cleaner  - I did a cut and paste below. I usually get machines that are way more advanced than I need as I rotate them between 4 locations with my oldest one now being 6 years old. It just came in yesterday so I am hoping to be able to hook it up tonight.
 Alka - Thx again for the help.

I really like the GTX480's scalability, but they're just too hard to come by in pairs.

Who built the system?

[yowza]

Cyberpower.com
 And Worm, I haven't seen a floppy in 5 years!

You know....there is just soooooo much I could do with this...but nooooooo, I'm not gonna go there. No thread hijacking from me. Nope.

[yowza]

HAHA! I will do it for ya - Yes to Stiffies no to floppies!
 

[yowza]

actually cyberpowerpc.com   and unfortunately it came assembled wrong and it failed at start-up. After many hours of them trying to talk me through fixing it, I was told to ship it back to them.  They only warranty parts not labor so there is no in home fixing. Thing weighs 65 pounds.
