You can't blame the HD problems on Dell though - unless there's some kind of power issue burning up the drives. I've had a LOT of problems with IBM DeskStar drives. If you have one check the IBM website, there are a few that are "close" to being recalled but haven't been yet. In particular the DeskStar 72GB.

Not impressed. Depending on the model they also only have one hard drive bay and one IDE cable that's shared between the HD and CD-ROM. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Weeg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:36 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Developer Platform suggestions was Re: Nice developer platform of choice here in our dev group. winxp cfmx sql 2000 cfstudio dell/sony laptops (either as good as the other) photoshop ie6 tony Tony Weeg Senior Web Developer Information System Design Navtrak, Inc.

I've found the OptiPlex (business line) to be rock-solid Dimension (consumer-line)... always some weird problem. Any similar experience? Point is if Dell, I would HIGHLY recommend you go for their business-line system. Tony Carcieri wrote: >Damn, I didn't know they were doing that!
