Nothing wrong with Dell. I've got a Core i7 860 at work and it's a 
snappy and practically silent machine. Styling, well, let's not go 
there, but plenty of USB on the front, card reader, the lot.

Obviously, I build my machines by hand and never have a problem (except 
that it takes time and that it's a bugger). But then I make sure I only 
get quality components, like Supermicro for the mainboard. There's a 
mostly silent cooler the size of Staten Island on the CPU, and the case 
is a very nice minimalist design (Fractal Design, quite inexpensive too).
