You could build a middling-quality new machine for maybe $300, a good one for $500-600, and a fairly high end machine for $1000. Generally speaking, that will be cheaper than buying a brand-name computer of equivalent power. You can find good deals at the computer shows at the Cobb Civic Center (next one mid-August), or pick up a copy of "Computer User" (or look at them online) and check out the ads for small local shops.
If you wouldn't mind a used computer, I could put one of my leftover machines together for you for less than those prices... it would be nice to find a home for one of them. This isn't a sales pitch, but if you'd be interested, just ask.
