if you are serious about media stuff, it is better and cheaper to build your own pc. It is not really difficult, but you will save a lot of money. I am not sure what kind of answer you are looking for, but a lot of it will depened on your habits and how serious you are. Most off the shelf computers can do small editing jobs really well.

I would just go to a computer store, and tell them you want to do small video editing. It seems like most places now carry computers that are setup fairly well for multimedia. I think most salesmen will be able to point you in the right direction. Big hard drive, good amount of memory, DVD burner, and a nice video/audio card.
