Don't speak about it, it will go away if no one speaks about it!

Here in B.C., west coast of Canada we've recently had a few hard drive failures that I know of. These Compaq / HP computers especially seem to have a lot of problems.

Thats because HP and Compaq are made by HP and they both suck.

In my experience, I've found Compaqs to be quite decent, although for HPs I cannot say the same.

i don't know about judging component quality via the pc brand per se.... in fact I almost exclusively judge the quality of a component by the brand of the component, and the quality of the pc brand by the brands of components it uses. western digital hard drives have _never_ failed me. I keep my entire godly mp3 collection on a 250 gig western digital external I've had for 4 years now.
