peacelover,

I was interested in your comments on the reliability of CPQ machines. I work for a company that uses Dell as a standard. Over the last six months I have purchased for my area around 210 PII 266 PCs for use in a claims processing high production environment running certain imaging applications.

These Dell machines are simply junk. Approximately 3-5% of the boxes were DOA and with less than six months use, I am keeping a technician busy full time trouble shooting hardware problems and returning boxes and montiors for repair. When I complain to our IT area, I'm told their testing still shows Dell to be head and shoulders over other manufacturers. Dell has become to hardware what Microsoft has become to software; namely, a copout answer for businesses who don't want to risk not following the herd.

My Gateway (brought before I became a CPQ shareholder - sorry) runs circles around Dell.
