Buy a new mac.
It runs windows, so it can do anything a pc can do - plus you get all the advantages of the OSX operating system, which in my mind is the main reason macs are better than pc's.
Price is not really an issue either, I recently did a comparison between the new Macbook and the closest spec Dell laptop (on the uk stores.) The macbook was as good as (or better than) the dell in every way - and it was £150 cheaper than the dell!
But you need to take more into account than just specifications - all new macs are fast, solid and reliable - but the best thing is actually using it. The way everything is so cleverly thought out and well integrated - the only way you can understand is to spend time using one.
i used pc's for 10 years before i tried macs - and i could never go back now. There are no disadvantages for me, just lots of advantages.
So to sum up - you buy a mac and you're basically getting a mac and a pc, and it can work out cheaper.

If you are doing Graphics or Printing production work, get the Mac. Macs are the best machines for anything working with movies, photos and the like. Everything else a PC is OK. But make sure you get a least 1 Gig or more of RAM either way. Don't get any less.

While the Mac OS is much cleaner and therefore less "bug"prone, I'd stick with a PC. PC's are much more readily upgradable,a vast array of applications are written for them,and they generally cost less,,,:-)=

Mac! It's more stable, no viruses, has excellent software support and on top of everything, you can run windows natively on Intel-based Macs.

I personally do not like macs. They operate wierd and certain software does not work with them.
