    Ah, for 1k your fine.

    I was able to customize a great pc. 6gb ram, 1tb Harddrive, 1gb Nvidia Graphics (cant remember model, but decent), It had a sick gaming case aswell, all for under $899.

    I did this at a shop, and i'm ni Australia.

    If you dont care about type of computer I would advise an acer aspire timeline. They are cheap and powerful and have great batterylife

    I would much rather a desktop.
    As I won't be needing to move it around or anything.

    For $1k you can easily get a beast of a setup, similar to my setup i'll be purchasing in a few weeks:

    -Silverstone Raven RV01 Case = $250
    -Gigabyte GA-MA770T-UD3P motherboard = $135
    -AMD Phenom II 965 Quad Core 3.2Ghz = $300
    -4GB 1600Mhz DDR3 Ram = ~$100
    -750W Corsair PSU = ~$200
    -Decent GFX Card = ~$200-300

    give or take a few things, swap them around, like getting a cheaper case for instance and putting the spare cash into the gfx card or whatever.

    Basically, build your own setup and build a beast.

    If you live in Brisbane, go for either uMart, or Gamedude.com.au, personally I prefer gamedude as they're usually the cheapest around.
