for $650 you can get some dope stuff (building custom built pc)
atx motherboard ($40-$80)
audiophile 24bit/96khz soundcard ($60)
gfx card, any cheap one will do ($40-$100)
120gb sata hdd ($80-$120)
1gb ram ($100-$120)
atx case with power supply ($40-$800
amd cpu ($80-$120)
this is if you build it yourself, all those figures are just estimates though

I completely agree that building one is the best idea. It's not that hard. I also agree with getting an AMD processor they perform well (better than Pentiums in some instances) and cost less.
You may be able to find a strong computer with a good rebate somewhere, bringing the price down to the range you want, but you'd have to front some more cash in the beginning. Sometimes Dell has good deals (I dont like Dell) but DO NOT buy a Celeron! I've seen some strong comps at Fry's also for about you're price range.
Building one yourself will be the best and in the end you'll know how to fix the hardware when something goes wrong.
