What's with all the Dell hate? A sub $500 computer with a flat panel monitor is a really good deal. My work is a Dell shop and those machines just run and run. It is dusty and dirty as hell in the shop and warehouse and those machines thrive on the grime it seems.
The el cheapo Dell isn't the best for graphics and games, but it will work in a pinch, and you seriously can't build a better rig for much less...any mid-range system that you might piece together will hit $750 without a monitor/keyboard/mouse.
All that being said, at home I have my home built PC, but for work or family members...I tell them, "Get a Dell Baby."
