Since I would be a PC Tech. I know what would be the better choice.
Windows 95 and up
Windows NT and 2000 server
Macs are not the way to go Since if they break down you can't find spare parts in a Staples or Circuit City. You would have to order them straight from the manufacturer. Whereas PC's if you break it you can go to almost any electronics store and buy the part you need. The same thing with software. You can't buy much MAC software in a electronic / computer store. where as IBM/Compatible PC's you can go to even a toy store and pick up software for you PC. Basically you want a PC thats reliable has upgradable options and something where you can walk in any store and be able to pick up both hardware or software with no problem what so ever.

P.S.
DELL
COMPAQ
IBM
GATEWAY
