They always have pretty decent deals on virtually everything.

Fine products, and great support.

Had my Dell's for 2 years and no problems at all. Plently of power and reliability.

Yeah I am really happy with my Ks and think I did good for the money. Hoping to do same with my computer. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Dell makes some good computers but I wouldn't say there support is that great. If you're just getting a computer to surf/word process you really don't need anything spectacular at all. I think Dell has a deal for a 2.6ghz, 256 meg ram, cd player/burner, 40 gig hard drive and 17" monitor for $500. The only crappy part about that computer is the integrated video. They're doing a lot of good things with integration into the motherboard (lan and sound for example) but if you ever want to play any kind of recent game you'll want a better video card.
