I just bought a computer last night on line for my mother. I wanted to get something with limited stuff packed onto the hard drive and ended up going with a model at
Tigerdirect.com
I purchased this item: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3403941&CatId=4036
100% made in the USA and their support is excellent. I could spend less and get more stuff but I get to start out with a pretty empty hard drive and put MY stuff on it and it will be plenty fast.
Here’s the same computer for the same price with more RAM and a bigger hard drive

I would go for something better than 6100 graphics if you could. Radeon 3xxx or ATI 70xx graphics will enable you to do home theatre if you ever decide to do it.
