I am typing on a $200 WalMart Everex desktop computer. It works great.
My amateur radio computer has a $40 motherboard, a $120 Core 2 Duo
processor, a $30 high efficiency power supply, $20 worth (2 gigs) of
RAM, an old 80 gig PATA drive, and a used case. It will run circles
around your giant Velocity Micro.
I have a netbook doing web radio duties. I have another that monitors
10.140 MHz (USB) for psk31 traffic and reports any activity to the
pskreporter on the internets.

I have never paid more than $500 for a personal desktop computer.
Including my ProTools machine.
