Recommendations come in the form of three hypothetical computers.
Budget Box: This puppy is dedicated to finding the least expensive
options possible while still giving you full functionality. The Budget
Box may sound cheap, but it's not. It's simply inexpensive jet power,
priced at under US$800.
Hot Rod: This one's been juiced up, but with limited funds. Think of
the auto hobbyist. He may not buy the fastest car out there, but he
does the best he can with what he's got. We try to keep the Hot Rod
under US$1,600.
God Box: This is for the guy who has just won the lottery, or whose
company is funding the purchase (same thing).
