Good, Cheap Computers to play starcraft 2?

I'm looking for a reasonably priced computer that meet the recommended specifications to play Starcraft 2. Any suggestions?

Update:

I'm not looking for anything that great, just something under 800 dollars that can handle SC2.

Update 2:

What I'm using right now is an acer laptop, and it's a couple of years old. It won't work on my laptop.

    Are you sure you need a whole new computer to play Starcraft 2? In my opinion I'd just buy another graphics card and possibly some more RAM.

    I have a GeForce 9800GT OC graphics card and it plays anything I throw at it. I play Ulta/ Max quality on almost every game (including Starcraft 2).

    The graphics card is http://www.bfgtech.com/bfgr98512gtoce.aspx

    I got mine when it was $140, but I think it's now $70-$80 depending on where you get it.

    So if you really need a computer, get one. But I'll tell you this, any cheap computer is not going to have a good graphics card and won't be a gaming computer. Even the cheaper gaming computers are more expensive than really good office/home computers... Just get a graphics card, you'll save money, and be able to play more games.

    Nothing really good is ever cheap.
