hey all

any suggestions for a good computer desktop package to purchase before I go back to the Dell online option?
My PC is slowing more and more so I think it may be time to sort that out soon ...

EDIT: Def Brand name product with warrenty. I am a heavy Office user, net, some graphic, no gaming.

thanks

I don't envy your decision. There is so many things to consider. My gut tells me, based on what I know about you and your needs is find a few computer shops on or near your daily commute. Go and speak to them and buy from the people you like the most. Because of your work requirements and possible future study, ask for components they know to be reliable, preferably brand names with warranty's - you don't want an unexpected crash mid assignment. The main problems I have had with computers I have purchased over the years have been with cheap no name power supplies. Ask for a beefy reliable power supply.

Dell has its advantages. For cheap keyboards that come with them, they have a nice feel, well at least the ones at work do. You get the software bundled at a better price and then there's the whole customer support thing. I had a quick look at the dell offers and If I don't build my next desktop, I would buy the Dell Studio Slim Desktop (S210507AU)
