I have a Dell and a Mac - the Dell has worked well, the Mac has more difficult that I imagined. I am technically challenged so I don't have any other advice, but I think asking people what they like/dislike about their computers is a good way to start.

I love my Dell, seriously. I have had several gateways ( sold out now to Acer) I am much happier with the Dell. I have 2 of them.

I like my IMac. Easy to use and a simple machine. (I was a Windows user, now I am a mac user.)

st789,
Despite Rerun's experience, nothing will give you more bang for your buck than a new Dell. My second choice would be HP.
Are you looking for a computer only or computer and flat panel LCD monitor?

Are you sure? For $1,000 you can buy two desktops and two LCD monitors if you're patient.
