I'm getting ready to begin looking at replacing all of my lab's workstations and was wondering what some of you thought. I'm going to get at least 3 systems to compare and test. From these test machines I'll select the winner. One will definitely be Dell and the second will definitely be HP (we have a contract with them), but I don't know what to pick as the third. That's where you all come in.
