The last time I ordered a Dell product it arrived and would not boot. Did absolutely nothing. Was completely DOA. That put a bad taste in my mouth. Their displays have treated me well though, and their server products are great.

I actually quite enjoy their displays as well. But their laptops have been nothing but headaches for me.

I had an HP do the exact same thing.

hmm... That's an excellent idea for a RAID! :P

(by the way it is completely real. they eventually found the problem was caused by a manufacturing process)
