If you have a DVD burner, the easiest way would be to back your library up on disk File>Backup to Disk. You will lose your playlists, but all of your music will remain.
Another way would be to set up a network and drag your whole iTunes folder to the new computer. My dad has done this and everything, even playlists, remain.
If neither option is possible for you, use your iPod (or external HD) in disk mode and drag from the external drive to the new computer.

you can use your ipod as a hard disk to move music to a new computer. If all of you itunes music fits on your ipod you can transfer that music to the new computer. It might be easier to burn a back up disc, but that may take a number of discs. heres a link to the apple website with indepth details.
