My wife an I have had the pleasure of our two older sons, and their friends around the house this summer (semester break, and resettling to Dallas). And we've all be sharing the same PC (that's a problem for another thread!) - but as my youngest returns to college I have decided to get him his own PC and think I'd like to try purchasing one on-line. Before I go off in search of the best deals, I though I'd ask my learned Mudcat friends;

Have you bought one on line? Or heard from friends of their personal experience?

Can you recommend this as a good idea? If so, who? Gateway? or any of the other big names?

Thanks.
