Sorry about the double post but I just found something very intersting

http://www.samsclub.com/shopping/nav...746&pCatg=5816

5gb of ram, Q6600, 750GB HD, onboard video card(wtf), 24" monitor(craigslist = 350-400), vista home 64bit
$899 - maybe a new video card +~$200 and selling the monitor -~$250
Possible overall price of $750

I could probably live with this set up and upgrade along the way.
Post what you think of it - I think I may have found what I'm getting

edit: seems it is using onboard video card - /sadface, I'm gonna keep looking - still might be a possibility

edit2: found this

~$960 with shipping I think

Way better quality than the Sam's Club for sure but then again, no monitor to sell and just a bit out of my price range.

Thanks,
