But I still prefer a Mac over Windows, I just really haven't justified a reason for paying $1200 for a new computer when the one I paid $500 for in 2004 is working just fine.

Sooner or later I'll upgrade to nothing but Macs, but until then, I'll continue to be that so called "fanboy" running windows.
or you could just go drop $400 on a Dell... Just days ago:

Dell Vostro 220 Slim Tower: Dual Core 2.4 Ghz, 2GB DDR2, 160GB HDD, DVDRW, 20" Dell 2009WFP UltraSharp Widescreen LCD, Vista Home Basic $365

Sure its not a great computer but shit does PLENTY.. and is easy to upgrade. Obviously throw out that Vista install and eventually pop in a better processor and maybe snag a bigger faster hard drive for $100 right before you install XP on it.

OR build one... get whatever CPU is ~$200 and end up with a pretty nice box around $550 without a monitor.
