i guess you could say i built my own media center. i can play pretty much any format of audio and video in both winamp and media player, including real media files and quiktime.

Well to me i'd get a Compaq because they have been around for ages, nothings gone Extremely wrong with the one I've got, u just have to look after it and it will last and run like a charm

Compaq is part of HP

I've never had a Dell so I can't compare the two, but if I would to buy one it'd be HP

yeah I have two HP Compaq dc5000 MT and three Dell's.

All of them get the job done.. in their own unique way... (lol yes, I did refer to each computer as if it were a human.)

compaq has gotten much better since they merged with hp. the quality of older model compaq's was quite horrible. personally, i have never and probably will never purchase a computer from a 1st tier company, but in a coporate enviernment, that might be another story.
