My hard drive disappeared last night on my old refurbised Dell. I can't stand using my kids tower too much longer. Thanks!
You didn't give what your budget was but here's a good list of Sony's for price averaging: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/category/category_slc.asp?MfrId=792&CatId=17 If you looking for a moderate machine at one heck of a price this is a good choice. It doesn't have the same graphics as Sony and it's a 14" screen but the motherboard and hardware are pretty good. Acer has crap for warranty so by the onsite 2 year extended for $159 or a 1 year for $129. For a $9 expedited fee you can have the rebate back in 6 days instead of 6 weeks. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2180342&Tab=0&NoMapp=0
