Which would you recommend?

Dell Dimension?

Compaq Presario or Hewlitt Packard?

IBM ThinkCentre?


I'm going to get one of these, just not sure which one. I'm not ready to go the Mac route just yet

id get a dell before those.... trust me

we have a dell

love it

i've had my compaq for a long time, and while it gets on my nerves more than a bit, it's never let me down or messed up anything i've worked on.

as you can tell, my standards are strict.

Im on my 3rd Dell and I have no plans of looking elsewhere.

First of all, Compaq and HP are made by the same manufacturer. So, that leaves IBM, and Dell.
After having expereince with all of these brands, I can tell you that so far, I've had the the better expereince with HP. It's certainly more reliable. Plus, it comes with Hyer Threading technology which is a bonus.

I'd build my own system.

Dell is having a fab sale right now. Laptop for $500 and desktop for $299. check out dell.com/tv. I have a dell - it's pushing five years old now - but it still works pretty well. I'm content enough.

Dell!

I have an HP/Compaq laptop that is simply fantastic. I really have no complaints.

My Dell has given me little to complain about.

FOr my next computer, I'm gonna try to build my own.

I'm in the process of taking apart two of my systems and rebuilding them.

I wish I had one of these.

Anxiety said:

I have an iBook too, but I would LOVE to get the desktop and strip my current PC and put them together. $300 is such a good price, too. I'm torn...

TMPletz said:

Someone said they will build what I want for about $900.00, but there's no warranty or support tech for that

Natsume said:

With all the addons I want I'm lookin at over $1,000.00 with Dell

jerseykrs said:

Way too pricy for me

Janfriend said:

I'm just a sony guy, i stand by there products, well built.

Janfriend said:

True. You'd have to rely on the manufacturer's warranty for each component. I'm kind of my own support tech when it comes to my systems, and if I can't find the answer then I turn to tech forums.

$900 is a bit much. I'm replacing my motherboard, RAM and processor for around $150.

HP or Dell
