A jillion years ago, I bought an IBM Aptiva for $3600.00. I felt like I had to kept that one forever. When I had to start paying for repairing it, I got my first eMachine. Haven't been disappointed.
I do the same thing. I just buy the walmart cheapies every 4-5 years. They all work the same. The one I have now is an HP but that is just because it was on sale cheaper than the others.
