More often than not as said above they sell on CPU alone and use inferior mainboards with the whole world and then some "onboard" leave little room for upgrades (even then only using their bits), underspeed RAM and HDD, and non standard screws ... I mean why? Does anyone have a good explanation as to why Compaq use non standard screws? I'd love to know!

And as for the cases ......
I agree with ya on the slowness, I had someone ask me to get them a computer, not build them one, but find a "name branded" one, cause they were more reliable.

So, I had them buy a refurb hp from tiger, and lo and behold, got a call that it took an insane amount of time 2 load.

So, I reloaded the OS (xp home) and trashed the useless hp added "bonus software" and the pc was not the same, it FLEW!!!

It should be an option what ppl want installed on their pc when comming from the factory, not just assume that every1 wants, or needs the kitchen sink in there!!!!!!


useless software!!!!
