I may be buying a new PC Soon- desktop with windows 7
anyone have a preference? HP gives you more for your money- but its reliability ratings have been a problem. I have had several Dells- and no HP products.

How does HP give you more for the money? The only way I can see this to be true is if you are counting the quantity of bloatware they load on their computers, if so then yes, they beat Dell by a longshot. Given the 2 I wouldn't spend a second thinking about it, Dell.

I would of said HP along time ago but after my last HP I don't know. Some of my other family members have Dell's I have used theirs but I don't really know alot about them.
Since HP bought out Compaq a computer I use to hate and returned to buy an HP I would have to to give them a thumbs down now.
I recently build my own with help from another fourm. But now want go back there due to rude people.
Wished I could say just build your own but ya gotta know what to buy, which is why I asked then ya gotta know how it all goes together.
When asked what my computer is now that I build my own I'm going to say black with and on and off switch.

My last two PC's were Dell; however, I bought a Gateway PC this time.
So far I'm happy with it.

I personally would not buy either. You can get more for your money if you buy off a website like newegg. However if you want to buy a "pre made" computer buy dell over HP

Let me just add that I was using a dell temp when a professional computer geek came to my house and he said right out I hate Dell's he saw I had alot of HP laying around and I said yeah HP use to be the leader till they bought out compaq he said yeah I know.
Thank God I can now build one on my own.
Gateway maybe a better choice but I've never own a Gateway computer but I am using a Gateway monitor.

I've owned two Dells and I'm working on my HP Pavilion right now with it's smashingly gorgeous 24" monitor. Sometimes I think it's just personal taste. I never liked the Dells and I can't even explain why. I bought my last two computers at Costco...the price was great and they throw in an extra years warranty.

I've always built my own, but I've seen some nice deals on computers with components I would choose for myself at TigerDirect's site. You pay extra to have them assembled for you, but that is to be expected. They also have a "build your own" tool so you can dump components you already have.

The Current Dell I have is 3 years old- its been very reliable. I read at PC World that HP Continues to have problems with reliability- Dell ranked third in overall reliability-Apple was first.
This is my third Dell- I have had 2 Gateways (also ranked rather low)
We shall see- thanks all for the help. HP has great monitors and printers- their computers are not ranked highly.
