Recommend a computer manufacturer.

My sister-in-law needs a new PC. I don't build them for direct family because I know I'll be on the hook forever for computer support.

Other than Dell, HP, and Best Buy are there any other good retail options any more? I don't shop much since I'm usually building my own...

Thanks!

worst name ever can help with that...cyberpowerpc.com They make custom builds and warrant them. They won't be as easy as a Dell or HP or Gateway...but you will get more for less out of them.

edit, ah fuck it, you said retail. Go to the apple store!

If your sister in law is as high quality as you are, she deserves a Compaq!

Actually Toshiba is making better laptops than Dell as of late.

If she's half as stupid as you, she should probably get a mac. :)

Newegg ftw!

Probably going to recommend an Acer Athlon II X3 PC and an 21.5" ASUS Monitor. $660 including shipping.

Quad-core is overkill for web surfing and e-mail but the 3 core AMD chip is like a bastard stepchild thus priced very right. (Yes, I know it's a brain-dead quad with 1 core turned off due to yield defects!)

Thanks everyone who posted snark-free.
