Home built desk top is the only way to go a real pc person. For laptops it would be gateway. They have been the most dependable for me.
Have to agree with lojeke. My desk top is a self made and my laptop is a ready-made Acer.
I have the same combo.
Home built for a PC...
Mac for a laptop...
Home built is best all around because the whole machine is user serviceable (no fear of voiding any warranty) and if you use a decent case adding cards and drives will never be a problem, so unlike the situation with Dell, Compaq, Apple, HP, eMachine, and almost every brand name computer. The advantages of a home-built pc are endless. Even if you are a little shy about ordering parts off the Internet to get the very best deals, and even if you're a tad nervous plopping your new CPU into your new motherboard yourself, if you have a good friend or relative who will do it for you just for fun, that's probably just as good. While I have been know to buy very very cheap systems when I just don't want to be bothered and the prices are so throwaway cheap that the extended warranty would be a huge waste, my most durable longest lasting pcs are my homebuilt ones. I have an old Athlon 1.2 gHz CPU plugged into a K7sem mobo running Win XP and it's just as dependable for the things I use it for as it was in 1998 when I built it and was running Win 98 2nd ed. on it.
