With my photography business I need to have some good processing power so I can get jobs done quickly.
Macs are just too expensive...and it needs to be a desktop (i already have a laptop).
Does anyone know the best place to get cheap desktops with possibly the duo-core processor or an equivalent, or what is the best option here?

Dell computers are fast, reliable and inexpensive. If you go PC, I'd suggest a Dell. They are now offering a line of duocore desktops nad notebooks. One of my friends just got a duocore notebook and it is lightining fast.

Why create a thread with the title of "Processing Power - Mac" only to say that they're too expensive? Ignoring your troll, I'll second Fotoman's suggestion, get a dell

Or if you're really cheap, build your own.
www.newegg.com has a ton of hardware, and you can find an almost infinite amount of resources online.

I just got a new 17" Dell at work (for the pres) and as far as I'm concerned it sux!!! Took me a day to clean up all the CRAP Dell has decided to put on machines you might not want (google desktop, google toolbar, and more). I ordered no AV .. they gave me McAfee trial .. I didn't want it!! I always recommend Dell .. but after the mess this week I'm not so sure!

| I'm really confused to why you refer to the computer by the size of the display? How does that tell us ANYTHING about the computer itself? |

Another solution would be to build your own... If you want a budget computer that's around $300 to $500 then by all means, by a Dell. You'll end up paying more if you want to build a budget computer yourself. But for about $1500-$1700, you can build one sweet machine with a display. Other than that, Alienware has been mentioned but is very expensive. The Dell XPS line is very nice as well and cheaper.
Edit: Missed the post on this solution....oops, my bad. And, I already have a parts list on newegg complied for a $1500 gaming machine I'm building for a friend in a little bit if you want to take a look.
