I want this one.

Where in NZ do you live?

If you find a Norman Ross(Not harvey norman) they do incredibly cheap computers(well for NZ prices anyways) My girlfriend brought a compac 2.4ghz processor, 500gig hard drive and 4gig ram for £1,020 I think, which is pretty good for NZ! They also stock alot of extremly cheap Acers(which aren't the greatest brand, but for what your using it for it should be sweet) from $500+. BTW stay away from dell's.

Try and get a dual process.. something over 2ghz, with ram you want something over 2gig, and harddrive something bigger than 250gig!! Have fun hunting!
