...Have you ever built one yourself? If not, it might be the time to try. There's plenty of information about building computers on the internet, plus lord knows enough of us here at IW have done it!
I'll give you a hint of what I would expect $1800 USD to cover...which is about $2500 AUD.
1)A motherboard compatible with the latest model CPUs, that is, with socket 939 for AMD processors or socket 775 for Intel, and two PCI-E x16 slots.
2)A lower-tier dual-core processor. Won't help with games(right now), but that won't be all you use the processor for, now will it?
3)2 Gb of RAM.
4)500 Gb of Hard Drive space, probably on two hard drives. RAID, while very nice, is not really necessary. Regardless, though, the hard drives should be SATA.
5)ATI x1900 or NVidia 7900 series graphics card.
6)A 19" LCD monitor.
7)A GOOD keyboard and mouse.
8)A small 7.1 surround sound system for the beast.
I think that's about as far as you could stretch it, here in the US.
