What are your thoughts on Dell? I'm looking for a new computer, and getting highly mixed opinions...

The only reason to buy a dell is...well...

Nevermind, like Apu said, just build your own. It's easy, but if you need help, you have the entire internet at your disposal to help you out. Not to mention you have quite a few experts right here on this forum.

Jeez... This again... DELL's are great PC's.

I won't get into this whole thing again except to say I've been building PC's off and on for 15 years and I buy DELL myself. Half the people who tell you to build it yourself couldn't do it themselves. Only go into building your own PC if you've already built at least one in the past.

that doesn't make sence, you can only build a pc if you have already built one? how could you build your first one if you need to have already built one.   if that were true you could never build a pc.

never mind, dell makes pretty good stuff and they have frikin awesome customer support, i'd say go for a dell.

Dells are probably the best of the big computer companies, in my opinion. But I still like the local corner computer shop, personally.

There are classes/courses which teach you how to build a computer. It's kinda risky to build a computer yourself for the first time. And I second what SandMan said. DELLs are great PCs. My family PC is a DELL Inspiron 1100 and its great.

The reason I say build it yourself is you can spend less money and get a better pc. You also learn in the process. And yes I can build one. I helped my dad build one and that was about 2 years ago when I didnt know squat about computers.

I'm telling you this website as a suggestion on where to buy the components to your system if you ever get one. You should do some research before buying any computer, even if it is a dell. Look at the prices for the one you build and the equivalent in Dell, Emachine, Compaq, HP, and other smaller companies. I also suggest you check out www.Ibuypower.com

^^ Creative...  Gateways are just like all other PCs.  They are all the same.  The same stuff is inside.  It would work alot better if people would build their own PCs.
