+1 my "home computer" is an off lease Dell E6400 I picked up for a song and put in a Samsung SSD drive plus some memory. Lots of parts available too.

I max their RAM and swap SATA HDDs for SSDs and have been pretty pleased. I would look for a Latitude 6410 or 6420 with the Quadro card, or 6510/6520 if you want a larger screen.
