If you have a few hours, you might consider building your own. Get the
$250 i7 Intel Proc, the approproate Asus board and 2 gigs of ddr3 1600
memory (all totaled abt $700) and you will have power for anything
coming down the pike for the next few years.

The only luck I have had on refurb machines is with servers and they
can last forever. I run my cluster on a dual AMD proc which I bought 3
years ago ($159) and it never goes down (wish I could say the same for
my internet connectons). I bought a dual xeon dual proc server last
year and run vmware ESX on it which allows me to have 2-3 virtual
machines active at the same time without a  noticable slowdown.
