2 words- BUY CLONE

1 word- FUCKANYCOMPANYWHOSELLSYOUAPCTHATYOUHAVETOCALLKANSASONYOURNICKELTHEDAYAFTERYOUBUYITTOFIXIT. Story- a customer of mine bought a brand-name PC and the local shop wouldn't and couldn't touch it. He had to call Kansas to get the dork on the phone to help him access the BIOS and it took over 20 minutes just to get an operator, calling long-distance from Nova Scotia.

Moral: Buy a clone, because then you can do your own fixes and mods without ruining your warranty or having to call half-way across the continent for tech support. You may save some bucks at the front end buying a Dell or other PC from a flyer, but in the end, build your own or buy local. You have a lot more control over vid cards, sound cards, memory, HDD, etc.
