The Dell I'm using right now was around 1400usd (purchased 6 months ago):

P4 3.0GHz
1 Gig RAM
160GB HDD
x300 se
17" LCD

The only thing I've changed on it is the video card; I replaced the x300 with an x600 pro, which cost me about $20 after I sold the x300.

My previous pc was a P3 1 GHz, 128MB, nVidia TNT2, 40GB HP which was somewhere around $600-700 four years ago.
