Sooo..with my tax refund I'm going to get a new computer.
I know I want to stay away from E-Machines...other than that I'm sort of split about which way to go...any recomendations?
I know some of you have recently gotten new computers...any input will be helpful...
Mostly I guess I'm wondering what brands people recomend - Dell? HP? Compaq? Gateway?
Ive been doing my own research as to what I want - I guess I'd just like some feedback from real people....
Any input would be much appreciated

Thanks....
