I have a dozen or so D220 machines which have been very reliable over 4
years.

Doug,
We are switching from Gateway/MPC to HP this summer.  I can comment more on
their performance in a few months.  So far we like what we have gotten for
demos and have been able to make them work with novell zenworks imaging and
the price is less.

I've noted that St. Michael's College is making the same transition on their
school computers as well.

If anyone who has experience with an HP Compaq dc5800 would like to briefly
comment on their experience with this computer I would greatly appreciate
it. 

We have been purchasing Dell Optiplexes for the last few years and have had
good luck with them in terms of durability and imaging, but our most recent
Dell quote was higher than this model, so I need to consider the HP. (The
dc8550 with an AMD processor came in even lower.) The Optiplexes are easy to
work on (no tools) and have a solid kid-proof chassis.

Thanks,
