To make it short and sweet, it is recommended to build your own system. Dell, HP, Gateway both use sub standard parts,I dont want to be a PITA here. But one problem we frequently face with our custom made machines is service. If the mother board on dell dimension fails, fine, the dell guys takes care of it immediately andreplaces it within the next 2 days.
Except when you live in Mexico. The board will fail and you are invited into a tight financial relationship with a provider.
Better not.Build your own and you know what fails because you pondered each piece for ages.
