There's nothing wrong with using non-name-brand stuff - I took a risk on my BFG video card when the company first came out and I haven't been disappointed yet.
Mad Dog DVD burner - hardly a name on par with TDK or Memorex (I don't know if Sony makes great burners) but it works fine.
Samsung laser printer - no problems yet.

Um...I'm running a 1.5 GHz AMD Athlon/512 MB of RAM and I can do all that stuff just fine. The only reasons I could think of to get something faster are super-high-reqirement games (though I can't think of too many at the moment - anyone know what Doom 3 needs?) and video editing (though you should probably get a Mac for that).
