I am planning on purchasing a computer for college, and I found a company called NKGcomputers Inc. I was wondering if any of you has heard of them, or if you could give me some opinions about the site.

Where R U?
If in the UK then Evesham.com, they are always very highly rated for the systems themselves but also they have the best backup in the business, 3 years onsite with most of there PC's been there seen it done it. They are good.
If outside the UK then sorry for the waffle. Martin

A good computer name is hard to find. Compaq, even though a big name in personal computers, make terrible products(ok, there business line is ok, the presarios are crud).
I happened to own 3 e-machines (ranging in age, from when the first came out around 4 years ago, till one i got 3 months ago) and i have yet to have a problem with any of them. These machines are reasonably equipped for under $500 US.
The best thing to do is go to some stores, pump the sales guys for information, but leave your wallet in the car. After you've learned all you can from the different sales guys at all the computer stores, then you start "price shopping" and picking out what you need in a computer. Then you can simply go to ANY store that sells the computer, and get it without hassles from the sale's guy. There is nothing more frustrating then getting all hyped up by a sales rep, shelling out tons of cash, and you get a lemon.
Its a crap shoot, and I wish you luck.

It depends on your budget and hardware requirements, really.
I've always had a soft spot for IBM kit - it feels absolutely solid - both pysically, and in use.
Also I've had good luck finding 2nd-user IBM machines.
The PC 300 series are really good as workhorses - but don't expect spectacular gameplay from them! I picked up a PC 365 (dual Pentium pro) for £50 recently, and it outstrips my P4 running Linux.
Compaq used to be really good, but now that HP have taken them over, I wouldn't be surprised to see standards drop.
Generally I find mass-produced new PCs to be of limited use and life, so I'd recommend building your own - it's not hard, and you'll get plenty of help here at Tek-Tips!
I agree with smileybry entirely, which is why I also recommend investigating 2nd-user computers. That way you don't have to shell out much cash, and you can get a good handle on what makes a "good" PC before you empty your wallet. A Ppro is more than capable of running all modern operating systems and software (barring some games).
Good luck
