I'd like to announce that HP will be joining us as a site sponsor here at frrax. We're all using computers to access this site and we all buy computers for tuning cars, using the internet, etc. Why not check out HP?

I had a bad computer that they couldn't fix over 1.5 years. I had about 4-5 in home services, numerous hardware parts, and had it drop shipped to a Texas repair facility three times. Every time it came back from them it was a worse-all while I needed it for school. Sometimes when it came back it would not even boot up or once it had the wrong OS installed. In summary it took about 4-5 video cards, a power supply, a motherboard, a cpu, and a couple of drives. They probably had me reformat it at least 15 times. After that they reluctantly agreed to give me a new computer due to my warranty-which they originally tried to lie and say it wasn't provided for. biggrin.gif I spent many (probably 10 more more) 5+ hour long phone calls with them.

Oh and did I mention this PC was a replacement for one that was DOA? It would not boot up out of the box.

So yes I'm on my third HP PC. However this one has been perfect. And no I'm not computer ignorant. I don't visit bad sites and I keep my computer clean. About the only thing I use it for besides internet, email, and spreadsheets is autocad and solid edge.

I really think I just had bad luck and am considering them for a laptop. But my desktop was so bad it would've been cheaper for me to buy a new one rather than have gone through the warranty hassle.
