I am sure they are good comps. but I am always so confused with their OS... But everyone has their preference: mine is Windows

 

[Rex Raider]

No name brand. Built myself out of the products I liked. My own choice of Video card, motherboard, sound, hard disk, etc... It's an Intel P4 2.53 chip.

I don't really like name brands, they are generally more expensive for no reason.
Unless you are going to use the tech support, etc... Why pay for it unnecessarily.

I guess it all depends on your computer skills.


I also have close to 50 computers currently in my Sub300.com warehouse.
And they can be yours if you visit my website: Sub300.com

My old computer was self built... Okay I took a class at work and we each built a computer with the option to buy. That was a great learning tool. Currently I have an eMachines with an AMD, I love going with the underdog, they are cheaper and in my experience they are just as good.

Practically born and raised on Apples in school.
I've had an SE, a IIcx, an 8600, a G3 B&W, a G4/466, and now my G4/867DP... not to mention the Powerbooks along the way.

I don't mind Windows. You need it in most professions that aren't Art/Design, Music, or Biotech. But I do mind all the unnecessary complexities that come along with it, not to mention the security problems and viruses. And you couldn't get me on WinXP, it's a horrible OS. Give me Win2K any day!! And despite all the updates on XP, I'm still shocked and amazed that installing a non-descript program like WS_FTP can screw up a number of other programs. And don't get me started on drivers either.... It's "Plug and Play" not "Plug and Pray."

Oh yeah.. and Macs use a *Nix OS nowadays. whoo hoo

e machines won quite a few awards recently, That's why I just bought a new one.

What is sad, My dell pocket pc has a faster processor than my last computer. 400 mHz. Old com. was an HP with 350 mHz.

Yeah, I have also seen and heard a lot of good about emachines. After hearing all of that I still bought my Sony :lol:

 

[posaune]

I went with e machines for the price too. Less than 500 for a helleva fast computer.

 

[actionjack]

I have 3 Dells and 1 Gateway and 1 Nebulous and 1 Compaq Presario and 2 Compaq Proliants (servers) and YES I am a computer geek with 2 routers and a switch and a wireless router with a Domain and running Active Directory.

IMO for home users stay with Dell.

 

[nsap]

Right now I have a Bluetooth network in my home (that is sure an experiment) :blink:

And working on installing a router to network everything
