Building your own system is by far the best way to do things...it'll be a lot cheaper and will probably perform better than a name brand machine
too bad you can't build your own laptop :(

Gateway needs to be added to the list. Even though they had some serious problems in the past, they are pretty good now. Consumer reports ranked them over Dell, IBM and Sony in August's Back to School Computer Roundup.
I love my Gateway!

MY computer is a Dell, got it earlier this year, it's really nice :) I made the extra effort to put all of the top of the line stuff in it :) except now the 2.4 ghz processor is looking kind of slow... oh well :) i'll get a new one when I go to college
My sister has an HP laptop, it's not too bad actually
My mom used to have an HP desktop, but now it's just sitting in her "office" because it is too slow to use and she's using my dad's old G3 Bubble Mac
My dad is still using the Bubble Mac, but within the next month he will be purchasing a Dual 2 Gigahertz G5!!! :):):)
And we also have a Toshiba laptop

The G5 Macs don't run as fast as everyone says. There have been tests done that show Alienware and other gaming PCs work as fast, if not faster than the G5 does.
It's still an unproven technology. It's better in theory, yes, but it hasn't done what everyone said it would.
I'd still get a Mac though :)

So not to hi-jack the thread ... My real computer is a Dell Inspiron 8200 I got July 2002. I just put another 256 in, got my baby up to 512 RAM now. Haven't had any problems 'cept the nVidia drivers from last year, went to a default driver and it's been awesome since.
Does what I need it to, and does it fast enough for me. Got my Mac OS X theme on there, and that Flurry screen saver. I've turned it into a Mac poser :) And I love it!

if all you can say is lol then you don't know anything. Anyone with half a brain can post a comment like that and not actually have anything to say. Don't trust me, read Consumer Reports.

nah I have a gateway too. And I do love it. It is rather slow now. When I bought it windowsME was the latest and greatest. Quickly did away with that tho. But yes gateway has had many problems. They gave me a bunch of free stuff because they kept messing up my order.

I have two custom desktop machines, an Intel rack-mount server and an IBM laptop.
The IBM laptop was ridiculously expensive but it's the most stable machine I have. No problems whatsoever... I guess that kind of makes it boring so the 'snore' comment is kind of fitting, but I'd rather have that than having it quit on me in the middle of a presentation...
