If you are considering a new one, why don't you tell us what budget you have in mind and what you'll mainly be using it for, and maybe we can help. There are plenty of knowledgable peeps here that could either price up parts for a build-your-own or point you in the direction of some good deals on pre-built machines.
My budget would be about £1500-£1600 but I need to get Windows XP Pro included. I was really hoping to keep costs down by upgrading or at least get something for my existing PC so that I could get more of the things I want:-

an Intel 3GHz processor with 800 fsb and hyperthreading
a P4C800-E deluxe motherboard
an ATI 9800 Pro graphics card or All In Wonder card
1GB Dual Channel DDR400 Memory
an internal DVD multi-burner
an Audigy 2 Platinum sound card/front panel
2 80GB serial ATA hard drives in a RAID configuration

I'd also like to get Microsoft Office Professional if possible.

Maybe I should go for a £3000 bank loan and use my existing £1500 to pay it off!!
