Dell and similar companies do provide good deals in that you get a good warranty with it should you have any problems.

The problem with *any* PC is that it's a very complex piece of kit in the hands of someone that might not necessarily know exactly what they're doing, and it is very easy to screw it up.

Most techies will go the "I'll build it myself" route, and will probably sneer at the quality/brand of the components used in mass produced machines like Dell, but for your average "out of the box" user they are ideal.

If you're thinking about a machine Dickie, you might find that PC World (just up the road from you) have something of pretty similar spec from another big name manufacturer at around the same price. The convenience is that if it goes wrong it's only up the road to take it back rather than boxing it up and having it couriered. This reduced level of hassle might be wroth the extra few quid you'd pay over Dell's offer prices.
