Dell dominates this category as well this year. With more than a third of the vote, Dell is doing something right for our readers! The landscape of workstation vendors is even wider than the laptop world, and again, it's great to see familiar names like System 76, Penguin Computing and Microway making an impact as well.

• Dell: 37.2%

• System 76: 26.9%

• Other: 14.8%*

• Penguin Computing: 8.5%

• Microway: 3%

• R Cubed: 2.1%

• HPC Systems: 1.8%

• Pogo Linux: 1.6%

• Advanced Clustering Technologies: 1.2%

• MadTux: 1.2%

• Open Sense Solutions: .7%

• ASA Computers: .5%

• Recompute: .4%

*As always, there were many write-in votes for "build my own".
