I'd say if you want a quick and easy turnkey computer that is gonna do everything you need, go to dell.com and build it online, they adjust the price while letting you mix and match pretty much every component you'd want or wouldn't want. The support provided by Dell is fantastic as well.

100% correct - I used to do computer repair - and it was hopeless on compaqs - freaking drive rails were like $40.00 (little metal things you use to slide HD in case - $2.50 for other computers).
MOTHERBOARD - $1400 - NO JOKE.
This was a few years ago, but I wouldn't trust them
They even used different screws on some of their computers.
