Dell is the choice of technicians and Govenment agencies

I've had 2 Dell pc's with no problems, but I would recommend you looking at Velocity Micro.  They are very high quality and can be bought thru BestBuy or direct from Velocity Micro. A resource I have found very helpful is a site that rates vendors at http://www.resellerratings.com/seller2956.html\nyou will find ratings based on real users and for instance Dell has a rating of 3.47 and Velocity Micro is 8.58\nTake your time and enjoy the hunt.

If you're set on buying a name brand pre-built PC, Dell is still probably the best choice.\n\nYou may want to consider looking in your newspaper or around town to see if there are any small shops that do custom computer builds.  You'll often find it cheaper to have the parts purchased individually and then built together by someone not part of a big business.  Good luck!

My advise is avoid all the big brands.\nEverything is built in to the motherboard.\nGo to a local small shop retailer.\nTell them what you want to do on the PC.\nThe great thing is if something goes wrong you'll not be on the Tech support premium rate number for hours on end trying to sort it. You just need to take it back to the shop.\n\nIf you want let me know what you plan to do on the PC.\nI'll tell you the Spec. you will need.\n\nHop his helps

A has the best Video card, but C is not bad either and would probably be just a little faster at most operations. From personal experience, stay away from B (e-machines have let me down in the past. Depending on where you are located you might consider checking out a few other places:\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com\nhttp://www.dell.com\n\nThose are a couple that are pretty low prices. But if you only want the three you are looking at here, A is the best bet followed closely by C.

Go for a branded PC of HP or Dell.\n\nYou should look for P4 2.88Ghz or 3Ghz with 1 GB of RAM, 17" SVGA monitor, 180GB of HDD, Built in NIC with at least 32MB of video ram.

The best?  Well, it'll cost you, but Falcon Northwest, VoodooPC and Hypersonic are probably the best out there.\n\nVoodooPC http://www.voodoopc.com/omen.aspx\n\nFalcon Northwest  http://www.falcon-nw.com/flash/\n\nHyperSonic   http://www.hypersonic-pc.com/2001/index.asp

You can get all your parts from newegg.com. It's great site and generally has the best price.\n\nFor Motherboards stick with Asus. They make great boards and support them.  Use ATI for video cards.  Hard drive, use either seagate or Maxtor. Seagate tends to offer the best warrenty on their drives.  Processor, use AMD any of the 64bit processors will do.  Keep the ram no lower than 512MB. I generally go with whatever brand is cheapest.  Optical drives... meh HP is good but it really doesn't matter.  Sound cards stick with Creative. They simply have the best cards.  And for power supply and case use Antec. \n\nHope this helps... also check out pricewatch.com if you want an alternative to newegg.

Yes, I think Dells are the best by far. I'd love to have one of those new Dell XPS.

Dell has the best systems for the money. But if you build your own, which is pretty easy, you get way more for your money. Whatever you do, stay away from E-Machines

the brand is irrelevant except that it indicates the quality of manufacturing and therefore the price.\n\nyou must first check what the max memory is for your machine from the user guide. the guide will also tell you the specification of the memory modules like:\n\n- no. of available expansion slots (usually 1 or 2 in a laptop)\n- basic technology e.g. sdram, ddr, rambus\n- number of pins e.g. 168 pin\n- ram speed e.g. 133 mhz or 533 mhz\n\nit's first about matching the right specification and then deciding which brand you can affford

the computer you build yourself is always the best one.  other then that its mostly personal preference.  All the major components except maybe the mother board are the same.

for the best value/performance ratio, i suggest you try checking out aldi or lidl... i know it sounds crazy, but they actually use good quality components from well-known manufacturers such as pioneer and samsung... you don't end up spending money on a brand name.\n\ni got my laptop from lidl about 18 months ago and it was as good a spec as anything out there - and it's still up there, no problems whatsoever.\n\nit also has a three year guarantee, which dell will charge several hundred quid for...\n\notherwise,  toshiba machines are generally regarded as being very reliable. \n\nof course, if you're not doing a lot of gaming, pretty much any laptop will do the trick nowadays. i would advise against a laptop with shared graphics memory however...\n\ntry and get one that has its own dedicated graphics card and video memory...
