won't buy pre-made computers (gateway, dell, ibm, etc.). Apple is included in this. This does not include laptops.

Creative. While the name used to be something you could go by, I don't see any reason to stick with them anymore. So I won't.

Cyrix. Nuff said.

NVidia. This is mainly for the same reason as Creative, and the fact that ATI is slowly coming up and kicking NVidia in the ass. I'm not saying that I won't buy another NVidia card, I just don't see it happening any time soon.

IBM hard drives. I've had one fail, and have heard the stories. Sorry IBM, WD forever =\

Any other version of Windows, save for XP. 2000, while great, just doesn't cut it for me anymore. XP is the epitomy of all windows operating systems, and i'm amazed at why people refuse to upgrade. if you are an average computer user, xp is great. it has enough features to make a geek happy, and is the most stable out of any windows os i've ever encoutered (all).

other than that, i'm pretty willing to give any product a try. it has to fail for me to completely give up on it, and fail hard. if it's something minor, then maybe. but 90% of the time, if it does its job, and does it well, then chances are that i'll buy another product from the same line.
