I have had mixed experiences with Dell.  The company I work for (a large 
UK wide media company) only have Dell PCs and I have lost count of how 
many times I have phoned Dell with regards to a PC failing.  Sometimes 
their call centre staff are helpful and other times they are just plain 
awful (one case of which caused major problems).

One thing I forgot to mention, if you can order the PC on a credit card 
you'll have more protection than if you just sent a cheque or paid by 
debit card.
