Depends on how much you want to spend, but JB HiFi have some good ones going for a song. Little Toshiba with 500GB HD, 2GB RAM for $493. Or, an Acer with 3GB RAM, 500GB HD, i5 processor for $677. Grab yourself a 2TB portable HD as well. Want something with a bit of capacity. Toshiba and Acer are reliable computers and that's what you need for the observatory. Something you can trust not to go BSOD every 5 minutes or complain about the workload its under. The extra RAM is going to give you some breathing space in this regard. I would also have it well locked up, just in case.
