Hello--

I'm thinking about getting a new desktop. The primary purpose would be
to use with my 37" LCD TV. The info I'm looking for is processor, RAM,
video card, HD size, etc.

Yes, I can go to the site and configure a box, but I'm hoping that
someone on this list has already invented this wheel; also, I don't want
to go overboard with the hardware, which is easy to do if you don't know
what works and what doesn't

No biz applications would be run on this box; it will be used for web
surfing, email, DVD's, etc.

Price range would be in the $500 area.

Thanks.
