Default PC's suck but...
Sadly I need one. As of right now I am using a mac and as you may know there are no BOTS for the Mac. So I need assistance picking out building a cheap computer. The computer would only need to do the bare minimum (surf the internet, email and of course run bots) Can you guys help???

Why not use bootcamp or Parallels to run Windows on your Mac?

Edit: xjosx beat me to it.

Try and see if vmware is compatible with mac if so just run XP in a "virtual machine" all you need is a instillation disk for XP or a iso.

I use VMWare. 1 gig of ram is enough, as long as you're not running a lot from OS X...
RAM is extremely cheap these days, even 2 gigs...

Yup. VMware uses the internet connection from OS X automatically. It runs Windows completely normally.
