The Official Computer Tech Support Thread

Ok so, I don't actually have a problem with my computer because it died last night during a storm. I've decided I spent way too much money on that piece of crap so I'm gonna buy a new one. Seeing as how there are a few computer savvy people now around, I thought I'd ask if someone could recommend a configuration (I live in Croatia so none of that "Oh just get a Dell or somesuchshit) with components I could probably find here.

I only use the computer to surf, download films, books and music and play music. The only more demanding job I do with it is converting DVD9 films into DVD5s...

So, can anyone suggest something that would be good for that purpose? I'm thinking a big hard drive (fast and silent if possible), but how much and what kind of RAM? What about the processor? Obviously, I probably don't need the top of the line stuff.
