Yes, it's totally their fault the component they don't manufacture failed after a year and a half of abuse.

That's not what I said, now is it? And I'd like to see you build a better one.

Since 1995 - 3 Dell desktops the final two with twin HDD and twin optical drives.
Not one machine thus far failed in any way.
Initial 150 pentium has been stripped for spare bits - screws, rails etc... WD Caviar HDD, floppy drive and cd reader still on the shelf.
600 pentium with some upgrading - still available for use - XP home - wireless dongle ok for office work and surfing.
Current Inspiron twin hdd etc 18 months fault free.

I wonder if it is due to buying better spec? As opposed to 'bargain' basement?

Happy with Dell.

Blimey just noticed 2 HDD and floppy drive from 1st PC - MJN 386 circa 1990 - they remained ok, stripped around 1996 !!
