What you need is a water-cooled computer with a power supply that is of the
run quiet type, 1gb Ram at least, and a 256mb video card..

Have you considered visiting a computer store, or doing a search on the
HP/Compaq, IBM, Dell or Sony site.. or maybe go to a smaller store that does
custom builds?

Everybody has their favourites.. you see good and bad press on all of the
major makes.. personally, I prefer to assemble my own systems and buy retail
OS'es.. in this way, I get what I want instead of having to make
compromises..
