I have wished I could buy a reliable computer for work projects. I find that industrial computers are not any more long-lived than commercial computers. Additionally, I have had some bad experiences with the level of support, particularly bios support is non-existent and they are poorly tested before release. I have bought quite a few computers from Advantech, they do seem to be some of the best, but I avoid them if I can. For the price of one industrial computer, I can buy many commercial computers. The only reason I would go with an industrial computer is for the form factor. Eric Keller
