Actually at my previous job we started getting HP EliteDesk 800 tower
machines and they were actually surprisingly nice little machines.
Well at least 2 years ago they were.  They were certainly better made
than the Lenovo ThinkCentres we had been getting.  I was not impressed
by those at all.  At my current job I have a thinkpad (very nice of
course) and some Dell business desktop (seems to work just fine and no
issues with it although I think the HP was a bit nicer perhaps).

Anything consumer targeted from HP though is best avoided.
