I had no issues running CF9 and Lion. In fact, from what I recall, I did
the OS upgrade and it still ran just fine when the upgrade was done.
Actually, I do get a message in the Launcher that it has to stop CF

I've had three HP computers die in the last month. I'm currently
using a 13 year old Sony Vaio that still works perfectly.
Sony gets my money for the next purchase.

I have an Asus laptop, that although posted as a gaming system, has tons of
power and runs anything I want. I have everything you described running
with no issues.

What is your deciding factor?
sheer power
branded or unbranded
price
good support and customer care from the manufacturer
most of my life I have built my own and replace my own components as and
when required, then you have no-one else to blame when things go wrong. This
also used to be a lot

I have not used one but if they make comuters like they do motherboards I
would definitely get one.
I have been running HP's for the last five years or so. I can't complain.

I normally build my own workstations, but if I were to buy a
workstation today I would likely get one from Puget Systems, such as
the Puget Serenity SPCR Edition. I've never ordered from that store,
but they get universally good reviews.

Personally, I use an 27 iMac. It works for all my dev with exception to MS
Sql Mgmt Studio, but then I already owned VMware Fusion so I put Win7Pro on a
VM and then the MS sql tools. Win7 Pro runs real fast on a VM.
I have the i3 3.2Ghz iMac with 16Gb of ram. The newer iMac is even better.
Dell and HP here, have had not a single issue with more than 5 systems of
each over the last decade except a single broken key on a Dell laptop which
they overnighted a replacement for for free with no extra service plan or
warrantee service.
Dell's refurbished outlet gives you some great deals

I agree, Apple keyboard and mouse, trackpad or Magic Mickey Mouse are all crap
in my humble opinion.
That's why I use the Logitech Cordless Optical Trackman and a Microsoft 4000

I buy my systems from CyberpowerPC. Limited tech support, but I don't care
about that (we all probably know what we're doing), other than replacement

I've had a Toshi Satellite for about three years now and it's hands-down the

If you're not adverse to using a small company, iBuyPower makes some very nice
desktop and laptop gaming systems, http://www.ibuypower.com/. I picked up one

Perhaps there is something on the drive that is causing a problem? I
wouldn't put it into the next computer. Perhaps a rootkit?
Last time my computer died I replaced it with a Dell Precision
