To quote a friend, who runs a successful computer repair shop in town:

"To customers, I tell them to buy HP all day. Know why? They will be in here after 3 months every month like clock work giving me business. To friends, I tell them to stay away from those poorly assembled piles of crap."

not exactly verbatim, but fairly close.

I run an HP desktop(with a few mods from the factory build) and it's great.. but it's a high-end guy. However, I will probably have to upgrade it/replace it soon. My last laptop, an HP, died after a year.

Jay,
I'd say build your own. Price will be about the same and you won't have worry about poor build quality.
