The floppies go bad all the time. the floppy push buttons break and pop out
on the GX150s. The winchesters blow because the onboard EIDE controllers 
fail. The drives themselves are standard quality stuff. But any drive can 
blow if hung on an iffy controller. Also, the smart monitoring warning tends 
to pop up on some machines and I suspect the controllers are the real 
culprits here too. As for my home Pavillions, I've never had a failure. Now, 
with that said I will admit that Dell makes robust quality PC servers and 
once made fairly decent PCs. But you don't get to the toop by making the 
best product, just the cheapest one.
Crap I tell you!

There must be over 2000 compuiters at my company.  We tried HP computers for 
awhile, but gave up on them as they died on a regular basis.  We switched to 
Dell, and have had them ever since with far fewer problems.
