[Senusret I]

So yeah, I start a new job on Monday and of course I am spending my money before I earn it, LOL.

I want something with 500GB hard drive (trust me on this). I need space for a lot of different types of programs (Including Office Ultimate 2007 -- I need Word, Access, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Excel; Acrobat, PageMaker, and POSSIBLY PhotoShop).

I want to be able to burn CDs and DVDS.

I do not need a new monitor, printer, or mouse, though I could use a new keyboard and speakers.


I want my DREAM computer -- I last purchased a desktop in 2001 and I know he's on his last leg. I feel it in my soul.

So what do you all recommend? I do not want a Mac. How much do you think I should pay for it, including the new MS Office?
