Good suggestion.  I know exactly what I want : something fairly quick 
for advanced database development, with lots of memory, reasonable disk 
space, CD/DVD burning, and good expandability.  "Standard" graphics, 
sound, ethernet, keyboard, mouse...no modem, no firewire, no monitor, 
no camera.

The problem arises when I try to turn my (end-user level) requirements 
into names of specific hardware pieces that can be pulled off a shelf.

I need to write a user2component requirements translation program!  :-)
