You say you want bargains? This month's budget chart gives you plenty to choose from. More than half of the Top 20 machines cost under $1300, and they're not stripped-down PCs either. Nearly half sport DVD-ROM drives, almost all come with 17-inch monitors, and their average hard drive size is a good 10.5MB. You can get a loaded small-business system from a vendor like CompUSA, IDot.com, MidWest Micro, and NEC for $1110 to $1300. On the high end of the budget scale, Sys Technology offers a fast, new corporate PC ready to be added to the company network for under $1800. But if brand-name security is what you prefer, check out our number two Best Buy, Dell's $1699 Dimension XPS T450.
