need help buying a pc
 

Where online is a good pc review site? A site that reviews all models, not
just like the best 3 from midrange, low end and high end stuff, but a site
that will review pc models from all different kinds of companies like Falcon
Northwest, Alienware, ABS, Voodoo etc.

I'm looking for info and doing some research to possibly replace 2 of our
current pcs with new ones.

X-No-Archive:Yes

Here are my personal ratings based on Performance, Quality, Tech Support
and compatibility. 10 = Best, 0 = DO NOT BUY (even if free):

Dell 7.9 (fails in Customer/tech support)
Micron 7.8 (inflexible and pricey)
IBM 6.5
Compaq 5.2
Gateway 5.0
Acer 4.9
Sony 4.2
AOpen 3.9
Tiny 3.5
EMachines 3.0
HP 2.9
NEC/Packard Bell 2.0
Daewoo 0.2 (anything from them)

Shop/Custom built machines are impossible to give a general rating
because they are all different and vary daily, although it is here that
you find the ratings of 9's and 10's..

I guess for me I wish there was some reviews for pcs between $1300-$1800
from a bunch of companies, but I've not seen any. I've done some research
and configured an alienware, falcon northwest, monarch, they suck, rip off,
and dell, and dell had a p4 i might want, but i changed my mind and only
want AMD 64 now and alienware had so far, a descent one for under $1850. i
just still dunno, :(

Re: need help buying a pc
 

I don't know what has happened since but based on tearing apart an old IMB
386 it was built much better than any other computer I ever saw. The power
cables were much more heavy duty built to last indefinitely and all parts
were sturdier by far than anything else I have ever seen. Whether they have
kept this quality up I don't know because they have concentrated more on
mainframes than pcs but I was very impressed by the sturdiness of the IBM
machine at that period in time.
