I'm not an expert on Windows XP Media Center Edition but do you need to have it?
Would Windows XP Home serve your purposes?

I found this slightly older HP Media Center PC with an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ / 2.2 GHz
Although you probably would need to throw in an extra 512mb of ram from what I hear.
You can buy it at buy.com for $1071.99.
Looks like a good computer, check it out.
