looking for a new computer

[RonPeter]

If I read that NCIX system correctly it didn't come with an operating system. You would need to add that as well. For what you do and where you live Rob go with a Dell, I have heard they have excellent customer service.

I work in the computer industry and find Dell PCs are very good. Many small businesses are turning to Dell products. Not crazy about the laptops although they are pretty good too. Price and service is very good. I have spent more time working on HP and IBM issues than I would like. Every manufacturer have their lemon models at one time or another. In the last couple years 2 manufacturers have had a fair number of problems with their cooling fans and over heating. Another manufacturer has had problems with faulty motherboard capacitors. None of these manufacturers were Dell.

My concerns in buying a computer would be:

1. How long is the warranty?

2. How long and where does it need to go for service? ( do I need to send to Toronto for a month?)

3. Lastly is how much is it?

Just my 2 cents...Hope it helps.
