Re: HP's quality is impeccable...

Yeah, but their designs include: putting the CPU on a daughtercard that is screwed onto the motherboard over the memory slots. Your staff costs on upgrades are substantially higher than other designs. I've seen another HP box that required a custom bracket to add CD ROM drive.

They are well engineered for stability, but they don't have any common sense. It's like the early XKE's where the best way to get at one of the parts that often needed service, it think it was the starter, was to cut a hole in the fender, R&R the starter through the hole, then weld the fender back.

And those HPs didn't have the Jaguar's excuse of beautiful design.
