$1165 for a non-complete desktop if I were to just toss one together with parts off newegg. Mind you, they are estimated prices ( I glanced through and grabbed average prices on lower end parts ), but they don't add up to a whole computer. No, I don't want to run *nix, no I don't want to get bootleg copies of X operating system - yes, I am lazy :>
Edit: It's not all that important to me, it's something that I may be interested in toying with when I get a newer computer. I've had a lot of older computers with slight upgrades ( RAM, video card, etc. ) and am just trying to grab something decent out of the box.
