What is your favorite computer brand, from out of these types...

NOTE: This is only used for school purposes. To make it simpler, I am doing statistics in IT Class (which is quite weird). So I chose favorite computer brands. This is NOT for stuff selling in ad for newspapers or stuff like that.

Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit Colne, Lancashire, UK |
Before I started building my own I had pcs built to my own spec by a couple of British companies, notably DinoPC.
When I priced up the parts I'd chosen at retail prices I found they hadn't charged much for building it and setting it up etc and I got a warranty. Well worth it and there are a number of companies that will do this.
I think it was about £60 for a £900 build so, for the warranty and peace of mind, it's almost not worth building your own.
Mind you I enjoyed building my own and I glow every time I switch it on  | | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number The Monolith. 3.1
