Re: Whats a Good Computer brand?

First PC I bought was a Compaq, after nothing but trouble took it to small
claims court and got my money back.
Then took the plunge, did a CompTIA A+ course, ( I already have
electrical/electronic training), and built my own.
Haven't looked back since, have built quite a few, and have even made a bit
of money out of it.

The best computer is one that you have specifically built for your
specific needs. Don't misunderstand, while you "might" be able to spec
and build a computer on your own, unless you really understand the
interactions and performance issues related to the different parts and
how they relate to your needs, you are not likely to get the best
machine for your needs.

What you need to do is find someone that you can work with to create a
detailed spec for a machine that does what YOU want.

In general, you can through really fast hardware/parts at anything and
it will work, but you can also save some money and buy what you really
need and get the same performance.

When it comes to purchasing Branded machines, I purchase the "OptiPlex"
line from Dell, even for home users, as I get more control in the
hardware.

I would never purchase a Compaq, HP, eMachines, Toshiba, Sony,
elienware, Gateway.... for a residential user. Most of them have custom
bezels now that don't allow you to easily install new exposed drives,
many use non-standard PSU's and some are just plain junk.
