What do you have now, and what would you consider "decent"?
My brother's idea of decent is considerable more powerful than mine, and I'm a hardcore geek. (He plays latest-and-greatest games on his.)
I have a couple of REALLY old computers that have been looking for a good home, and I could help you put something together for relatively cheap as well. I also have some spare parts lying around that might be of use.
Although getting a complete working system from Dell is nice if you're able to afford it. On the "Small Business" site (you can order from it), they have a brand new computer with decent specs for $349 (not including monitor and printer). Although you'd probably need to add a few things, including anti-virus, etc.
(And it's cheaper to buy most of the add-ons yourself on sale than have Dell do it... if you want some advice, post on your LJ and I'm sure plenty of people will let you know what's a good deal from Dell, and what isn't..)
