Im not saying he's lying, I'm saying that in my experience, Dell has been very good when/if there are hardware failures. I dont know about the substandard hardware argument tho, as I've opened my case several times and I know I have a dell-modified Intel board, a Maxtor drive, etc. My mom has a 4 year old Dell, it's never had a problem also. For every pro story there's a con but I trust them - they've given me no reason not to (thus far).
Whichever machine you get Gonzo, just make sure there's a rock-solid warranty & good extended coverage. Thew last thing you wanna do is drop $500 on a machine, only to have some fan or drive stop working 3 months later & find out it's not covered.
