Other then a cheap laptop I got, I have never used a brand name PC. I would rather just build myself a PC and know what I got and how to upgrade it. I have seen alot of those name brand PC's do stupid stuff like Glue the chip in the socket or use oddly shaped drives so you have to buy there overpriced brand name upgrades. Plus about all your brand name pcs have a sticker on the outside of the case. If those stickers are broke (IE you try to upgrade the ram or anything) your warrenty is voided instantly.
My aunt has a HP that has the same amount of ram, faster processor, bigger HD and my PC is way faster then hers. I imagine it has a crap motherboard, and needless to say a 8 meg shared memory video card.
