Default Your Top 5 from the manufactures

Just wondering if one of you guru’s would be willing to put together a top 5 list of your favorite straight from the manufacturer computers. Maybe a list of $500-1000 range $1000-1500 range $1500-$2000 range and then and an "Elite money" is no option. Might help some people not willing to go to the trouble of building there own. I am partial to the alienware line but there are other manufactures out there like the velocity or XPS or gateways etc...

Gaming Computers with performance and no need to upgrade the system for a long time should be a factor for determination.

Edit: Forgot to mention we should have one top five for Desktops and one top five for Laptops.

Always search the resell value and do research on the company.

HP/Voodoo --> Superior customer service, but more expensive

DigitalStorm --> Decent customer service, ok part selection

Cyberpower/IbuyPower --> Good parts selection


Not recommended:

Alienware --> Overpriced, faulty systems are not unheard of
Falcon NW --> Also overpriced

For laptops are you looking for gaming ones, or regular, or ultraportables

Well, I've not tested them all out, but here's my list (based on experience with mine or friends computers)

Whitebox (make your own baby!)
Alienware
Cyberpower
XPS
Sager

I haven't ever got my paws on a Voodoo, but I hear they are awesome rigs.

No, do your own dam research.

(Any list would be out of date by the time it was posted anyway.)
