if you have knowledge, you should build your own comp

with 1500 bucks, you can get so much better than those

Go with the A64 CPUs - also, if you can, spring for a 10,000 RPM hard drive - they're more expensive, but they're like 3x as fast and more responsive.

Just a quick computer i threw together

OCZ Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 184-Pin DDR SDRAM Unbuffered DDR 400 (PC 3200) Dual Channel Kit System Memory
$194

AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Venice 1GHz FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor
$162

Antec TRUEPOWERII TPII-550 ATX12V 550W Power Supply
$90

DFI LANPARTY UT nF4 Ultra-D Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard
$124

Western Digital Raptor WD360GD 36.7GB 10,000 RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive

Total = 1182, that leaves you 400 odd for a case which costs u about 100 lol, so 300 to spare if i have forgotten anything. Maybe if you want a faster CPU or another HDD or something like that. Just a suggestion.
