I have to agree. DELL. I owned an AST, with which I had no problems with. When it came time to buy new, I bought and Dell. AST no longer builds computers. I've been very, very happy with mine. I bought it in 2001 and have had no trouble with it. Just do a cleaning of the dust that builds up on the inside with canned air once a year, and it just keeps putting along. When it come time to by another computer, it'll be a Dell too.
