I wanna stay aroujnd the $500 range. Refurbs and scratch 'n dents are fine as long as they come with a decent warranty. Umm... specs: 1.46gh+ processor, 60gb+ HD, 512mb+ System memory, DVD RW.... Hmm... that's about all I can think of... Screen size isn't important. Hmmm.... I guess that's it. I don't know too much about PC's and it's really just for school, so suggestions are also welcome. Thanks
