Well I can't afford to build a custom computer from monarch or pcclub, and I'm not going to build my own pc again(I just want the whole thing at once, and if even one part is bad I can send it back without having to go through a lot of troubleshooting and exchanging parts to diagnose what might be wrong, I'm done with building computers for the time being)...So after much research I have narrowed my search down to two PCs, the Dell E521 and the HP Pavilion a1600n(I don't want to buy a manufactured computer, but funds say otherwise). They are pretty similiar...They have the same processer(x2 3800+), the same memory(1g ddr2 dual channel 533), the same motherboard chipsets, expansion slots, same onboard graphics and video....The main diff between them is that the Pavilion has lightscribe on the dvd-rw and 40g of more hdd space (200 vs dell's 160), with a different looking case although the psu and front/back plug ins are nearly identical and the Dell has a 7300LE(wow....woot?). I was going to put my old x800xl and sound blaster live cards in the one I buy and someday, in who knows how long from now, there is a chance that I may be able to afford the upgrade to 2g of dual channel ddr2 667....
So my main question is.....Who has better customer service/quality? Dell or HP? The HP costs only $5 more. Thx for reading.
