I call BS. Have you looked inside a Dell before? They use an Intel Reference Motherboard provided by Intel (which traditionally has been highly reliable), and Intel Processor (same as anybody else), Micron RAM, Seagate/Maxtor/WD/IBM/Hitachi Hardrives, LG/NEC optical drives, most of the other components are integrated, the Video cards are generally oemed from the reference board manufacturers. I think BadAnalogyGuy doesn't know crap.
