I wanted to get a new PC to run Fedora. I was going to get a Dell but I
have recently had horrid problems with Dell Optiplex. The motherboards
have gone bad 2 times already and the tech support is brain dead and
frustrating to deal with in my opinion.
What is a good source for reliable PCs generic or branded these days --
HP? Dell seems to be putting out junk these days that is unreliable in
my opinion.
Thanks for any help.
I have over a thousand Dells here and haven't seen a hardware problem with
any of them. Sure it isn't something external that's blowing the
motherboards?
