Buying a new computer - Some suggestions?

[PollyannaFlower46]

My brother is starting college in September and we're buying a second computer for the house so we don't have to share the one we have anymore. Right now we have a HP that's about 3 years old, not a bad machine, but I'd like to get a Dell like the one at my desk at work. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what brand etc. to get? We basically only use the computer for Word Processing and fucking around on the internet.
