Five out of five recently purchased Dell Optiplexes came with defective hardware that had to be replaced under warranty. This is unacceptable. I can no longer recommend Dell desktop to my users for future purchases, until Dell gets it's quality control back in order. But I don't know what to recommend as an alternative. Any opinions? -- David McFarlane, Research Technology Specialist Dept. Psychology, Michigan State University [log in to unmask] www.msu.edu/~mcfarla9 Voice: (517) 353-0799 Fax: (517) 353-1652
