Need a new computer

[troy_trinity]

the ol' desktop just blew up

So I need to get a new one and need some suggestions on what to look for. Basically I don't need anything top of the line I just need something thats decent that I can download music and movies to. It would basically be my "back-up / downloading computer" so I don't want to spend a fortune on something that's going to be getting viruses.

So any suggestions on what the computer should have in it as far as memory etc etc.

^ hell yah i made the switch this christmas and am lovin it. macs are a little pricey but worth it i think

i've used macs for 15+ years...great computers but honestly i can do anything on my PC as just as well.

price range is about 500-700 (just want the computer, don't need a monitor etc)

was looking at this: http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-AMD-Athlon-II...item3358599c27

Mac would be cool but it's not really worth it- this is basically just my "download" computer. Ie. the computer that I don't care about and can just download whatever and not worry about viruses etc.

What you're looking at seems fine for what you want the computer for.
