Default Sony or Dell desktop PC?

I'm thinking of a Sony Vaio RS420 vs. a Dell Dimension 4600 or 8300.

Can anyone tell me how the Sony PCs are? Quality?

Thanks,
Dan

I know someone that bought one of the multimedia Sony PC's. From what I saw
inside and how it performs, it's definitely a quality machine. I wouldn't
mind buying one, if I wasn't so keen on building them. :-)

I sell brand name computers as a part time job and what I found about the
Sony's is that you tend to pay too much for the specs they give you. As
well, we have had a few of them come back to the store because the hard
drives would become defective or the floppy drive did not write anymore and
things like that. But I must say that in the past 3 months or so I haven't
seen any of our Sony's come back (mind you we don't sell them as much as
HP/Compaq's).

As for dell, excellent deals. Just try to get all your answers about the
computer and warranty before you commit to a purchase and have it in writing
by Dell.

So between the two, I'd go for a Dell over Sony. But honestly, I'd go for a
clone over either of the two.
