If you can't build your own.  Then take this into heart:

Most of those cheap-ass computers (cheap-ass price NOT NESSACARALY
QUALITY) aren't upgradeable.  Most of the time, you will find them to
have limited "expantion ports" (ISA, PCI ect.) and very few open drive
bays for CDRW's, DVD drives, new hard drives ect.  If you just need a
simple workstation for WORKING then these computers are fine, they are
predominatly internet ready (come w/modems, and all the software) and
unlike that 3 year old Dell you have access to, will run all of today's
PC software.  These computers cut cost's by using the high power, but
simplistic Intel Celeron processors, a sound choice for WORK.  They do
not come with any kind of major Video card power(so forget those 3D
accelerated games).  They will make your college computing experence
plesent, and knowing you didn't need to sell an organ to get one will
make things even better, as for those REBATES remember, they lock you
into internet service for at least 3 years (I cite:MSN $400 rebate!)
Now, this is only good for you if you will be paying for some kind of
dialup ISP after purchasing this computer anyway.  Good luck!
