> [...] Dell is an evil company, never buy from Dell, blah blah blah...

FWIW,

All our workstations are Dell systems, built from 2003 to 2006 -- never had 
a single problem. For our printing needs (hundreds of pages per week), we 
use a Dell 3100cn printer, which was the best value on the market when I was 
shopping for a color laser printer at the end of 2005.

My Inspiron 8500, which I bought in 2004 still works great, despite the 
extended daily use (it was my primary PC for over two years) and the 
beatings it received. I had no trouble finding RAM or a hard drive (both are 
third party components) on eBay when I needed to upgrade the laptop.

Last Saturday, I ordered two 30" Dell monitors, reviews are excellent and I 
expect them to perform well. Even if they don't, I know how easy it is to 
get Dell to exchange any piece of equipment, or issue a refund.

Delivery within the US is often free, and most of the time takes only a few 
days from the time the order is placed.

Overall, Dell is one of the best companies that I've ever had to deal with.
