I\'m looking at getting/building a new computer, and would like to finally be able to run CPDN. It won\'t be dedicated to the project and will be just my normal computer, but I\'d like to get the best hardware suited to running the model.

Looking to spend about $800 on the computer, I guess. No preference for AMD or Intel, component manufacturers, etc, though I would like to get one of the GPU video cards that would let me run folding at home also. And I plan to run Windows XP, as I have several disks for that already.

Any suggestions welcome. Thanks.

I just build a new PC, with tax/shipping it was just under $870 from Newegg. I splurged on the case.
