I recently picked up a Compaq R3000. It is a bit heavy, but carries an
AMD Athlon64, can take a good bit of ram, and an option for a 100G hard
drive... this is a very fast machine, and I'm very happy. Mine has a
standard 15" screen but has the option for widescreens and such if thats
what you like (I can't stand them). Ordered it from compaq's website.
