DELL and GATEWAY
worst f*&^ing cases I have seen in recent years. My dad's recent Gateway system was a bitch to add to add a floppy drive and the case made it bloody impossible to apply screws on both sides from what I could tell.
I have also worked with friend's Dell, and that beast only has ONE tray for a harddrive. I have no idea how someone could get by with one Hard Drive; my systems have at least six between them with at least 400-500+ GB of space and a decent portion of that is being used.

Any clone PC I hate, Hell Gate(way), Hell, Packard Hell, Helly Packard, etc....

Edit: oh and Compaq

The only worthwile computer is one that you buy real parts and build it. More expensive in most cases, but worth it.

Actually, Dell PC's are actually becoming very competitive in terms of price and components in regards to building your own.
That's what I hear anyways, lol

Yeah if you're going to buy a clone, get a dell since they are the best out of the others. I hear it's different in the states but here building your own usually costs more, unless you have access to suppliers like me, but not just anyone can get access to suppliers since you need to own a business and be licensed.

One of my friends had an Emachine. He had a 1945 hard drive in it, the PSU heated up big time and eventually blew, and to make things worse, it was a celeron. I guess emachines are good if you don't want a performance machine, as they are very cheap, cheaper then if you built it.

Yep, that's because they do the onboard sound, video, internet, etc.... no room for expansion...
