Compaq? Isn't that the company that used to put /used/ hardware in it's "new" computers at your local Best Buy? ...and what about expandability...no one else in the industry uses such high-tech parts like T-10 torx screws, which you can only buy the T-10 driver at 2 places in Minnesota. Gotta love that! Make him administer a Proliant 1600 for a day. If he still has his hands after it explodes he'll want to march down to Compaq HQ and punch someone in person. Sorry, I have no hard evidence against Compaq...but I've never really looked for any. All I have is personal experience.
