Reply #7: My own stuff, I build... but stuff at work...

[ReverendDeuce]

I'm in IT, just FYI.

I buy Dells at work. I know they're red. But damnit, they are cheap, they work, we get good tech support, and I can order a dozen or more at a time without hassles.

However, I refuse to buy Dell servers. I buy HP iron exclusively. HP makes strong, strong servers. They are fast and built like tanks.

For home, I always build my own because I want cutting edge stuff. You can't get cutting edge from the big names or if you can, they want 2x the price.
