I'm also looking for a new computer to augment the laptop being used as the family computer.

I have a Compaq I might like to cannabalize for parts after the warranty period ends.

I was looking at the Dell 4700c series and I noticed that they upgrade to SATA drives. What are the advantages over IDE and does this mean I can't add an IDE drive later on?
