I am looking to buy a new PC, but have no idea what to get. I want a desktop that is suitable for both gaming and work, and preferably not a Dell. Does anyone have recommendations for me vis a vis make and/or model?
Thank you.
Beware of the Rancor. I'm not kidding.
If it doesn't compile, try saying "By the power of MegaMan!!!" <this has kinda worked for me, actually...>
Scotland is NOT North Britain, Glasgow does NOT rhyme with "cow", and Robbie Burns is...well, if you don't already know who he was, you're kinda screwed.

What is your price range?
If yo have XP now, prepare to get used to Vista, but then Linux would be even a steeper learning experience.

Why not Dell?

Cnet.com has a great desktop buying guide: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktop-computer-buying-guide/ I normally stick with Sony desktops and laptops. I game and work from both computers and have not had any performance problems. My laptop is a p4 duo core with dina and other technology. My desktop is a p3 with hyperthreading tech. Both to this date have done the job.
