What are you after?

If you want a budget PC go to Dell, if you want a laptop, go to Dell.

If you want performance then there is Overclockers.co.uk who make some very good prebuilt PC's for a reasonable price.

dell is the best because the only good thing about pre-buiolt really is warranty and dell beats all.

I agree with upgrading part. I bought a Dell 9150 and I'm limited to what CPU I can upgrade to (mobo is limited to Pentium Ds max), It's really annoying, I should have built my own really.

Currently the only thing that is annoying about Dells is that they'll use BTX-form motherboards and cases. Otherwise, everything else is pretty standard.. PCI-e x16 slot, ATX-form power supply, etc.

Sorry, but you're wrong. Even Dell's cheapest computer comes with an X2 3800+.

Not to mention Dell uses much higher quality power supplies.

Acer's not a bad choice though, no way in hell will they replace Dell though.

What, and you think Acer desktops are somehow more upgradeable? Lmao, they probably use the same damn parts or at least similar.. except that Dell would use a better power supply.

dell is 100 times more popular than acer trust me here in the uk that pretty much have market dominance in the pre-built section. its not because there better because they might not be is because they market it so much theres dell adverts everywhere even in almost every single newspaper.

Every single common manufacturer of pre-builts beside Dell (and Gateway?) use micro-ATX form motherboards for the majority of their computer models. The power supplies are always ATX-form, although they will sometime use micro-ATX form PSUs for small form factor cases.

So basically, you're still wrong. Admit it.

If one buys a pre-built and upgrades to a better motherboard, chances are you'd need a new case.

Micro-ATX motherboards blow in general, you'd be a fool to upgrade from a micro-ATX mobo to another micro-ATX one..

It'd be better to get a good ATX form mobo and a new case.
