Good thing you're going with Apple

I've been using Dell for the past 12 years or so.  Every one of my computer since then has been a Dell.  I am: a happy customer.

We'll assume the worst if we don't hear from you soon.

Damn, Windows 7 is sweet. I've just installed it and updated my drivers.

Now to finding something to become irritated with.

Try the "classic" control panel.

So, several months of working and pinching pennies have paid off and my credit card debt is eliminated.

Now daddy wants to reward himself with a new gaming pc.

Any recommendations? I'd like to spend less than 2000 but primarly I want a flexible system that I can play games and watch porn on. Everything else is optional.

I'd be willing to possibly shell out more for a mac but only if a regular pc can't do the things I need it to do.

Please advise and keep the "build it yourself" comments to yourself. I'm not doing that, I just want to open the box and set it up.

Sorry J, there's nothing that a Windows PC "can't do".

A Mac tends to be much smoother and cleaner than a PC in my experience, but I can't point to something that a Mac does and say "see, no PC can do that". -_-

But, but ... that's half the fun. :cry:

I'd go for Dell, but my view might be slightly distorted by the fact that we buy mostly workstations and other professional equipment from them, which is obviously more reliable (and pricy) than normal computers. And since we buy stuff for tens of thousands € every few months, they tend to be extraordinarily eager to fix any mishap. I suspect it may not be that easy for your regular guy. :P
