Amen. Dell is the winner for me; I've had three hardware failures on Dell machines, and warranty service had me a brand new one in 2 days, each time. Plus, the Tech Support people I talked to were actually able to SKIP steps in their scripts and listen to what I'd done, not make me do the same shit twice.

Even better, they install the least amount of garbage on their OS images (HPs is ridiculous -- I last counted 26 of HPs wonderful "applications" pre-installed).

Just my 2 cp.

Oh, and never under any circumstances buy an eMachines.
