The one thing to remember about the HPs, Dells, etc., that you
purchase in big box stores are that they are consumer grade products.
I never realized how much of a difference there was between business
grade and consumer grade machines until I started working on them.
If you want something that will last and be reliable, bite the
bullet and move up to a business grade computer.

Or build your own. Thats all HP/Compaq/What's our name today, and
dell do. Granted, they like to throw in one or two proprietary parts
so you have to buy repairs/upgrades from them. But all they do is
assemble mostly off the shelf parts. THeyn they screw you with a
screwy BIOS.
The old winders machine I built with cheap components in 1998 still
runs fine. Drives have been upgraded a couple times.
Other boxes I built in 2001 are still running too
Ones I upgraded later are still running. Had a few dead PS and a
couple of noisy fans. (and dead HDs.)
Original Apple IIe , GS, PB 165, Mac 7100, 7500, Performa 6250, and
G4 Mac Pro are all running, although most have not been used for some
time.
Anyone want donations for a computer museum?
