Mike,

Unfortunately, there isn't much else out there and I ended up with an HP. Talked to our IT guy at work about EMachines, Sony and Compaq. He said EMachines are "a trainwreck waiting to happen" (whatever that meant), Sony is too new to trust as of yet and Compaq is HP since the buyout. I mentioned Dell. He said if you get a good Dell, you're all set but if you get a problematic Dell, it's he$$. G8way he said was alright, although he thought they might be going under.

I ended up with an HP A430N. AMD Athalon 3200, 160 GB hard drive, 512 Ram, 17" LCD monitor, Lexmark all in one printer for $1400. A little more than I wanted to spend but I figured I'd better update everything.

Seems pretty nice, although I havn't given it a good workout as of yet.
