Anyone else go through this phase like I do?

Okay, so I'm away from my desktop because I'm smack dab in the middle of Iraq right now, but I really want a computer. LOL

What do y'all think about Acers? Dells are near the top of my **** list, so they are a complete no-go, as well as Compaq, HP, Gateway, and Sony, so those brands can, well, use your imagination.
