Ive been very happy with a dual-core box I built based on a Shuttle
barebones kit (shuttle.com). They are very compact but capable machines.
I think being able to run virtual machines is important for web developers
so you'll want a box with a decent amount of RAM, maybe 4Gb. Also, two
monitors is very useful, so maybe look at cards with dual-outputs.
Remember disk is cheap. Memory is cheap. So if you're buying a prebuilt
box, make sure the diak and memory upgrades aren't a tota' rip. (If they
are and you still wanna buy, then buy a minimal spec and upgrade
yourself).
