So
I want a computer to do the following and do it well (nothing else really matters that much)
Use Flight Sim X (which is apparently slow running on many PC's)
Be a music recording studio ( so I'd need to be able to plug in a guitar, keyboard, mic, etc)
That's it really. So I know this sounds like a contradiction in terms - what's the cheapest best setup I can get away with that will still do a fantastic job?

(I've given up on the galaxy)
I just got a core 2 duo from Dell for under $1000. 2GB Ram and 2.6 GHz processor and it runs great. Should be able to handle whatever you can throw at it.
What screen size, max resolution?
mine goes to 1920x1200, the monitor it came with was 20in and I use it as a secondary to my 24in.
Good price. Did you get a choice of XP or Vista?
I ordered online so I could get XP, locally everything came with Vista. Dell has Vista (home/basic/whatever its called) and XP Home as a choice on most with no cost difference.
Then you can get XP Pro or another vista version for more $$.
Video card was a 256 nvidia, has 2 DVI outputs so that worked out great.
