Heh, that's what I thought too. I have Dell Axim x50v, but's that's it. I had a Dell laptop for work, but I traded in for a desktop system, and they gave me a hp.

My next machine will have dual processors, but that's at least a year away. Perhaps it will be a Dell, but I doubt it.
 
I'm using an HP wrapped around an Asus A7V8X-LA and Athlon 3000+ CPU. It's got two HDDs, CD-Writer/DVD-ROM, and NEC DL Burner. All masters on their own HDD controller. Oh, and the damn thing is quiet as a tomb! I'd have purchased a Dell instead, if they had been offering a better deal at the time.
 
I have had a Dell in the past, and would buy one again. But I parted the last one to upgrade mobo/CPU on the cheap. I recommend Dells to newbs so they can get decen tech support from someone other than me.

 
I have a Dell server (dual P4 SC1600) but my two desktops and several secondary boxes are custom Athlon based machines. I may buy a Dell laptop. I guess it's a mixed household.

I outgrew the urge to play with hardware years ago, my current PC is a Dell.

Why would playing with hardware be something to outgrow? Is there some age cutoff when it's not "cool" to work on your own hardware anymore? 😕

:thumbsup:
Homebuilt main machine and MCE box, 700M laptop.

I'm planning not to upgrade until Vista's been out for a while, so I'll probably replace my main machine and MediaCenter box with Dells (and new Dell LCDs for the main machine). 🙂

When it's cheaper to buy a turn-key box, for less than you can buy the parts. There's NOTHING to stop you from upgrading a pre-built. But, paying more money for the same parts, just for the sake of playing with hardware, is something only kids (and immature adults) would do.
 
Nope...not on a dell. 2 dell monitors though 🙂

Though at the office I have a Dell machine. I have no complaints against it. My family also bought from Dell until ~5 yrs ago when I started building computers. Those were good machines too...back in the day when Dell's cases weren't these crazy contraptions.
 
I have two old Dell CRT monitors, that's all. I've got one Intel based system and the only reason I have it is the deal I got on a Fry's combo.
 
Your poll options don't apply to me. I use a dell because I got it for free with a 19" lcd during their Dellf sweepstakes last Christmas. I doubt you'd turn it down...3.2ghz HT, 512MB DDR2 (up to 1gig), CDRW, DVD, 1905FP LCD, 80gig SATA (plus 160gig & 120gig). Only complaint is that the video card is anus and I don't feel like paying for a new one (ATI x300se pci-e), and the LCD ghosts pretty bad).
