I'm a firm believer that you'll get a decent education at most reasonable schools. The biggest difference is in personal networking. While you may learn the same thing in a no-name school, you won't be going to class with the daughter of the CEO of the company that can hire you out of school, or and you're less likely to be sitting next to guy who starts the next Google or Ebay.
Any degree may give you bonus points when someone looks at your resume, but it'll matter a lot more if your resume is handed to HR by a good personal reference, especially if they're a high-up already.
It may not be pretty and it may not be fair, but it only makes life easier if you can get into the old boys club.
