I have a Pentium 4 sitting around that I can still run Solidworks on pretty well. I guess it just depends what settings you want to run your software at.

$800 is definitely quite a lot for 1 machine if it is solely running CAD software.
I know our sponsors say they pay over a $1000 dollars for theirs, so I thought my price range of $600 to $800 would be borderline at best. Isn't CAD the main reason you spend so much? I know I tried installing both solidworks and creo on my teammates i3 computer, and it couldn't handle even simple solids... I will take a look at what nickE said. I just don't want to by something, then have it not work. That would be great if we could get them for that cheap though!
