Dells are alright for people that dont know much about computers. Knowing its a Dell gives them a sense of security I guess, so they know they can get it fixed if something "mysteriously" goes wrong. If you know what your doing dell is a huge ripoff. I went through their website and built a good pc, not a great graphics card though and it still costs 5k US. The funniest thing i saw was that upgrading the graphics card to a nvidia quadro fx4500 was 1500$ !! holy crap what a rip off!
