Post by: SonyFan on August 13, 2002, 02:11:51 AM: I heard the Tech Support is free and far superior to any of the other brands as well.

Definately the "Build it Yourself" brand is the best you can do.

Otherwise I recommend DELL if you don\'t wanna get down \'n\' dirty (but I suggest you do).

They seem to use decent(ish) components too.

I think my next computer would be an alienware notebook though...I\'m getting my niece an Emachine cuz it\'s only $474 besides it\'ll be mostly for downloading music and her occasion "homework" yeah right...too bad I have to share my cable connection with her:(

Post by: shockwaves on August 14, 2002, 08:44:13 AM: DO NOT GET AN EMACHINE!

Lowest quality PCs there are. Even if you\'re just uring it for homework and downloading music, expect the thing to be dead after a year or so.

Post by: on August 14, 2002, 10:42:47 AM: I think the build it yourself stuff will work. My friend has 4 computers, 2 in his room. And they are all Build it yourself stuff, top notch it seems.

Post by: Seraphim Pride on August 14, 2002, 11:51:32 AM: I have a dell but I had to get a new HD cuz Win ME killed it but the good thing was after I bought Win XP Pro and installed it on the new HD I didnt\' have any of that prinstalled crap on it. There\'s still like nothing in my program files. Makes me feel proud almost like I\'m a pc tech..yeah right.

I had a new Dell delivered at work along with about 5 others, all had ME and all had were completely shagged after a week. They came back with 2000 and had no more problems. ME\'s crap, blue-screening all the time and fussy about software. 2000\'s the way to go on a Dell, that or XP.
