Get a Dell; and as a person who once bought dozens of computers for my workplace, I recommend building one or two on Dell's website and then calling Dell. Use the builds as a reference and talk with the sales rep as you may get more freebies added for the same price as the one you built online. BTW, if you are serious about Multimedia, you might want to add BluRay to it. Take a look too, at the Alienware if Graphics is super important, but be prepared to pay.
