Before you buy a new computer, make sure that the software that you want to use will run on Vista. I don't know for certain, but you may have trouble with the tuning software that you want to run. Personally, I'll stay away from Vista until Service Pack 1 comes out. I have had trouble with it running some of my software and hiccups with some of my hardware.

Dell will still build a PC with Win XP Pro. They often run specials and sell PCs in the price range that you are looking for. I don't care for their customer support anymore, but they still build a good computer.
