You would have thought, in view of the week's events, that Michael Dell would show up at a greet-the-folks gathering here Friday looking like some whiter shade of pale. Not a bit: Appearing in a packed hotel ballroom during a brief stopover, the founder and chairman of the computer maker Dell seemed to glow a sort of sun-drenched pink as he defended his company and his actions. "There are a number of things a company might do in this situation - run and hide, wait for the regulators or claim it's not a problem," Dell told an audience convened by the local chamber of commerce. "We've exercised an abundance of caution. Beyond all the hysteria, we're doing the right thing for our customers, and they'll appreciate it in the long run."

I'm sure that most people who read this site build their own PCs. But I'm wondering for those who are not mechanically inclined and/or don't want to screw around with building one, where do you get your PCs from?
And I'm not referring to Mactels here, so you Apple fanboys don't even try it

Actually yes. If you want a high quality machine with quality parts. I know some will disagree, but my experience is that Dell has some of the best machine savailable, at the best prices. Sure, for general home use you could go to CompUSA and buy an HP or Compaq, but for service and reliability I choose Dell myself. Is much cheaper then building your own anymore, and I have never had a problem speaking with a US person for support.

Yes.
Dell PowerEdge 400SC and SC420.
I've built many PCs over the year, but the entry level PowerEdge servers (used as barebone PC) were the best value I've found, _very_ cheap (wait for good deals, instant coupon), well built with quality components, small, extremely quiet, fast enough, customizable, good service (small business server service is separated from PC service, as I understand).
The only drawback I can see is they purposely cripple the PCI-E slot in new models and they won't "support" it as a graphic workstation, or game PC if you would.
I don't work for Dell, just a satisfied customer.

that seems pretty bad to me... i don't want my computer company crippling my hardware, its bad enough that verizon does it to my cellphone.

admitting that Dell crippled hardware would of got you fired if you did work at Dell so either way your statement is true :-)
