I didn't read all of the posts here because I don't have time. I would think Dell would work fine. I have ordered several Dells for my company, and never had problems with them. I agree with some that you can build it cheaper, but then you don't get customer support and all of the software that comes with the new computer. For someone without time to screw around with hardware, a new computer that you can pull out of a box, turn on, and begin using is worth a bit more money in my opinion. My only complaint with Dell (and all new computer maunfactures) is that they load on so much CRAP that you don't want or need. It takes hours to uninstall all of that crap every time I open a new computer.
