$1000 computer. Your opinions?

   I belong to a club at school that makes historical documentaries. We're supposed to have funding from the local university and historical society, but pleas for money for over 5 months have turned up nothing. We've been screwed. So the club supervisor got fed up with begging for money and turned to our school. We've got $1000 for an editing computer, give or take. Which would be the best for our money? We're looking for one with a good processor, great graphics, decent RAM (at least a GB) and a good HDD. We're going to get another HDD and a Firewire port online, so tips on a computer would be greatly appreciated.

   http://www.compusaauctions.com is a good place to get computers.
   
   You'd probably want 1GB of ram minimum, a dual core processor, and a nice graphics card.

   You should have no trouble with a $1000 budget - I built mine for well under that amount. Before you buy online, do your research, then approach a local computer shop. If they can build it for close to the same money, you'll have local service which beats the heck out of having to mail your computer off somewhere! In fact, you might even work a deal to make a video for them (perhaps to use on their website) for all or at least a good chunk of the money.
