I got a Power-Spec 4985 at Micro Center. A 2.4Ghz Athlon W256K L2 Cache,256M DDR Ram,40G hd, 1.44 Floppy, 52x32x52 CDRW, intergrated nic, vid, and audio, and windows XP Home for $450.00. Comes with an ok keyboard and a crappy mouse. I added another 256M DDR Ram stick for 52.00 and installed a Gforce MX 400 64Mvid card I had sitting around (MX 440 cards run around 30 to 40 dollars). I use a Belkin 2-port KVM switch and share my keyboard, monitor,and mouse with my playing machine. I run a 12 client Spearhead server through a cable modem (weekends @ 65.26.83.215:12203). I don't get complaints of lagg except on Snowy Park and Ardennes. I use the RUNNER program (thanks mohadmin.com) to configure this server. I have the Max Rate set to 3000 and Hunkmegs set to 16M. Come by this weekend and check it out.
