Wow! What a post by LazyPup......I just had a very long post to add then realized after I tried to post I was not signed in and lost the whole post. So here I go again.
Stay away from Dell, Gateway, Compaq and HP systems. Why? They all for the most part use proprietary parts. What is that? These are parts that are specifically made for their systems and if they go bad are very very expensive to replace.
Within one hour we had 3 different Dell systems come in from 3 different people. Today we had 4 more Dell systems on the bench. This red flag should tell you something about Dell.
Remember all of those Gateway Country stores that popped up? While they are for the most part closed down and most Gateway's are sold online.
Compaq and HP are in the same arena as Dell. We service many of those systems each month as well.
Emachines use to be very bad many yrs back but now they have turned this around for the most part. I would not buy an Emachine myself but they seem to be pretty stable for most users.
Your best bet is to buy locally from a computer shop. You may pay a little more up front since we don't do enough volume to get the discounts/rebates. But you will get peace of mind. If it is a good shop you will get prompt, curteous service when you need it. You will not get that from Best Buy, Circuit City or WalMart when something goes wrong. It will take 3 to 4wks to get your system back from Best Buy or Circuit City and you even bought it from them...do you have that long to wait? Service is the name of the game!
We have a 1 to 3 day turn-around time and it usually is 1 to 2 days and people have their system back up and running. People are amazed at how fast we can turn their system around. That is why they keep coming back to us.
I hope this helps.

So, montecore, going to a company such as visioncomputer.com as I mention above is not a bad approach ?
Maybe tomorrow... but not today
