Computers?

[DrummerDeanna]

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....
