[Leica] What Desktop Computer to Buy These Days?

I still run Windows 98 on an old PC that ONLY runs my Quick Books 
program. Since I don't do payroll (only reason for getting the latest 
version of QB), this old setup just keeps chugging away printing 
invoices and checks - just wish there was an easy way to get it to 
print more invoices! The QB database is on my server (Win XP), so is 
backed up every day. I don't use this office PC for ANYTHING 
ELSE!  If it ain't broke, don't fix it!  Windows 98 is just fine on this box.

This PC is another example of my philosophy of spreading the load 
over multiple PC's, never allowing any one computer to get bogged 
down. They seem to break when asked to carry too heavy a load, unlike 
the old mid-range computers I used to program. Old war horses like 
the HP3000 or IBM System/38 could be loaded with a hundred tasks at 
once and they simply slowed down, eventually finished all the jobs, 
and never crashed.
