Quote - I think anyone can pick up a fairly decent rig in the $300-$400 price range that is competent with running Poser or DS if they look around (look at places like TigerDirect, NewEgg or heck even Amazon).  

I used to do the high end computer stuff about 10 or 15 years ago... eventually I got it out of my system and realized that nowdays I get 80-90% of the performance for about 50% of the cost at most consumer computer stores. It's been a long toime since I paid more then $600-800 for a computer. Makes it much easier to build up a render farm. (three computers running at the moment, hopefully another one after christmas.)
