[QUOTE="DTigga, post: 115425, member: 12060"] Working in IT, the most common question I'm asked is "what computer should I get for home?". The answer I usually go with is "go with Dell, or another brand name pc". The only reason I say this though is because they come with phone support. I know that if I told them to buy a white box PC, they'd be asking me to support them with every issue they had. So I say this, if you are comfortable enough to install software, fix minor issues and Google for the answer to any intermediate/major issues, then a white box pc is a very good option. If you want the comfort of knowing support is there if you need it, go with a brand name. [/QUOTE]
