It really depends on what you are looking for.
The big appeal of the major brand names is customer service, either real or imagined. The drawback to buying a major brand is they tend to have alot more proprietary hardware and software. What does this mean to you? Not much if you never intend to upgrade or repair your PC yourself. While the extra unnecessary software uses up valuable system resources, it wouldn't affect you much if you rely on authorized techs to work on your machine.
To the people that say Mac doesn't crash. The reason for that is it only runs very specific hardware and does not have near the available software as Windows or Linux. Linux is also very stable, but will experience crashes if you install software that creates conflicts. Windows would never crash either if it had all of the limitations Mac does.
However if you intend on doing your own repairs and upgrades you are better off having a PC custom built. This ensures that all of your components will be standard and easily replaced. Also a custom built PC is more likely to come with an OEM Disc for your Operating system rather than a Restore Disc.
An OEM Disc is a the full Operating System without the Retail Box and Manual.
A Restore Disc is created by taking an image of a Fully Set-up PCs hard drive, and than pushing the image onto an identical PCs hard drive. Major System changes such as replacing a hard drive, processor, or motherboard could make the Restore Disc very difficult or impossible to reuse forcing you to get a full version of the OS.
And by the way Mac is entirely proprietary. Mac is Unix based and so is Linux. Unix based sytems can do everything Windows can do with the exception of gaming. While they are just as capable of highend graphics as Windows there just aren't many quality games made for the various Unix based systems.

Bought a Gateway... spent over a grand in repairs. Bought a Dell, spent over a grand in repairs. Didn't learn from my mistakes and bought an E-machine in November (made by Gateway) and it went kaput this morning. Get one custom made. The best PC also depends on what you are wanting it for. I've heard that the best gaming PC is Alienware, but I've never had one so I really don't know.

Custom build from parts. That way you can get the facilities you need without paying for the ones you don't.
It's really not much more complicated than lego.

I'd have to say a Mac. They're not very cheap, but who says expensive can't be the best? You should watch the commercials, they are..."Informative." lol But they don't crash, they're modern, and it'll be a great way to make your friends jealous if you know what i'm sayin lol. Hope this works, and if it does, please pick me as the best answer!!!
