I built my system myself; if you're confident enough about system building, you can buy parts for and then build a complete system for a lot less than
the likes of Dell would sell it for.
Total, including delivery and tax at 17.5%, was £310 UKP - that's about $550 USD. Had it built by the end of that afternoon.
I'm told that the Intel Core Duo machines offer better value for money at the moment, but I've never seen one, so I can't comment. Happy enough with
what I've got, though when DirectX 10 cards start shipping, I'm going to be buying one. The X800 PRO isn't bang up-to-date, but it's a nice enough
card; performs very nicely.
