I would like to state for the record that HP/Compaq Pressario/Pavilion 
lines do, as Adam put it, suck.

If you stick to their business line for Workstation/Laptops, they are 
quite good. For servers their Proliant line is also extremely good. This 
is the line that used to be Compaq. I don't recomend HP specific line. I 
think they call in Integrity now.

I have probable 200 Proliant servers in production and about 5000 
workstations/laptops.
