Best Buy has the Acer Aspire Quad-Core (Q6600) 2.4ghz desktop on clearance for $549. This is in-store deals only so you have to actually go to the store to find out if there's any left. YMMV.

here's a good laptop site for info, also some good tweaks to make your Vista run faster and remove all the "bloatware" pre-packaged with your laptop.
