I can tell you some to avoid. Anything that has the combination of an AMD cpu and the Nvidia video/chipset. They have a terrible heat problem that causes the system board to fail, usually shortly after the warranty expires. The excessive heat causes the solder joints open up on the Nvidia chip. I can usually reflow them and get them running again. It probably works for 7 or 8 out of 10 machines..the others become parts or trash....
