computer guru?

Well, but then you end up with a beast sitting on your desk that sounds like an idling Harrier. I'll say this about Dells -- their cases are well designed to be quiet.

I would agree here, my machine does sound like a Harrier, but I don't mind, since the machine runs good and what not, and I usually can't hear it since I am always playing music and games while at my PC.

I do not leave my machine on all the time. There are some schools of thought that you should leave your PC on all the time, but I disagree. Would you leave your VX running all the time? To me its like putting extra miles on your computer that you don't need to.

i will vouch for dell.. ive had my dell laptop (inspiron 8500) for 5 years now and never had a single problem with it until 2 weeks ago when the backlight on the monitor went out, that will be fixed soon though. but ive put it through hell, its had billiards balls bounced off the case, even survived an 80mph roll over in which it went out the window and landed on the median of I-95, worked fine after that too

i also built my home desktop and yea thats much more powerful than my laptop could ever hope to be and only cost me $400 in parts plus a $200 LCD monitor
