I have quit building machines for my boss' auto parts store. His last 6 I told him to buy Dell. He hasn't paid more than @$600 each crammed with a shitload of software. I couldn't compete, economically. The latest was a 2.4 P4, 256 DDR, 40 mb HD, video, sound, speakers, LAN, modem, cdrw, and a 15in FLAT SCREEN! SHEESH!
Last year I had to build him a "special" with a slow celeron (under 1 gig) to accomodate a program for flashing GM OBDII pcm's. Played hell finding that processor! And I still spent as much as he did for the Dells.
I've always badmouthed the "packaged" systems. I especially hate the way they lock up their "proprietary" software. But if I had to recommend a system for a tight budget... Dell. (I believe there's a thread fomewhere about "bad aftertaste" somewhere around here.)
