/me concurs. We've recently switched from HP Vectras to Dell Dimensions. While we were using HP they always appeared to be a reasonable box. The Dells had a problem with the floppy chip and something else but mostly it's also reasonable. Of course, this is using the business machines. Not the Pavilion/Presario/Whatever that is marketed to home users. You'll do better by putting it together on your own.
