It seems like lately I've been having to RMA or get warranty repair work done on an awfull lot of hardware.
I've lost 2 sets of Corsair memory, 1 set of crucial memory, 1 set of Patriot memory, 2 Antec PSUs, 1 Enermax PSU, one generic PSU, one DFI motherboard, a set of cheap logitech speakers, a 3200JD, a x800xl, and a x1900xt. This is all in the span of about 2 years at both my work and home. Most of it in the last year.
In the past I think I've lost a floppy drive, a hard drive every few years, a cd-rom drive after 5 years, and a 2x cd-burner. Nothing big. Not very often. Nothing to raise eyebrows. Only the Death Star really got to me. Maybe the HP burner that wouldn't work with WinXP 4 months after I bought it.
It's pretty much gotten to the point that with every purchase I make I have to RMA at least one component. Usually 2. It's made me rethink building PC's since time is money and some of the troubleshooting has been a real pain and waste of time. For work, I think I've resigned to the fact that I'd rather get a Dell. I shudder saying it....
Is it just me?
