Need some solid advice

I am a small business owner. Just purchased a great program for the development of in-house catalogs and cds for customers. www.tradingbell.com. This program works inconjunction with adobe indesign. I would like to buy a desktop that would handle this program and the adobe CS suite. Any advice is welcomed on what to buy, this desktop would be soley deticated to this catalog process. I would also like to run dual monitors. Thanks in advance for your imput.
Sincerely
Chris Mallon

System Requirments
by ATOZ1968 Sep 10, 2006 12:55AM PDT

Windows XP Professional
Pentium 4
512 MB RAM 40 GB Hard Drive
Graphics card-not a gaming card, but a card that will handle graphic design for catalog publication.
This is the bare bones, min requirments.
I would like to stay in budget with about 2000.00
I would also like to run duel 19' monitors, The monitors are so cheap now days that this does not have to factor into your budget.
Also between 16-20 mg memory card
and 160-250 GB Hard drive.
I thinking this needs to be more dealing with the fact I will store alot of product pictures, graphics and product descriptions.
Thanks again for your help. If you can not point me to one exact computer, could you please point me to you best description and define what you would think would make our catalog production process run smoothly.
Thanks so much for your help, it is very much appriciated.
