Some people are on a limited budget, and want a nice basic desktop for Internet use and the like. This machine should be fine for basic tasks. This system, a cheap keyboard/mouse, a copy of Vista Basic or XP Home and a secondhand 17" CRT would provide a nice basic machine for just under $500.

With a quad core CPU and 2GB of RAM, this machine is a lightning fast workstation.

==== $2300 Intel Updated 08/01/2016 ====

This machine can handle some serious numbercrunching.  Could easily be upgraded with a discrete video card (such as those found in the following recommendations) to be a very good CAD machine.  This machine would be very adequate for research purposes, where numbercrunching power is the key. If the budget allows, another 2GB of RAM wouldn't hurt, though.
