openoffice installed. that's all.

well you may, but please avoid branded pcs, dell, hp, etc as they tend
to only allow replacements of sertain bits and are loaded with extras
you don't need.
The advantage or disadvantage is that branded stuff has software
already locked to their serial on their main bords so as long as you
never needed to change the board or change with with a board of
another box like it it would be ok, a customised board well thats how
we went, ofcause its fair to say that we only used drivers and did not
load all the xtra bloat that came with the disk.

so I could get a machine from blaire technology group and just
upgrade some of its components?

At a guess, that machine prebuilt would currently cost you aprox
$1000 at the retail store. I'll try to break down the bits and
pieces in more detail:
The hdd really shouldn't cost that much, you can get a cheapo 500gb
internal for 40 bucks practically anywhere. If you can't dig up
something cheaper on amazon (250-320 gb aught to be really, really
cheap) I'd be shocked, and if you use that much storage up I'd be
surprised.
I recently got 2gb sticks of ddr2 ram for 30 bucks each, so that may
end up adding up a little, but its still somewhat manageable. I'm
not sure about the pricing of ddr3.
The processor and graphics card will probably be the most expensive
portions. I'd estimate $500-600 for both.
Of course, you could probably get a pre-used machine somewhere, or
wait until those specs drop in price. If you go the pre-used rout,
all you'd really need to do is maybe grab another hdd and the extra
ram.
I'm no expert though, so I'd love to hear from anybody with more
up-to-date knowledge.
Luck.
