1. Lowest failure rate.
2. Performance
3. Price
Sometimes #2 and #3 fight over 2nd place but Lowest Failure Rate holds the #1 spot.
You can do all 3 items at a lower price if you just went with AMD then people can't compare your systems to a Dell.
There is immense pressure for me to do 2 things:
#1. Build in sufficient mark-up to eat warranty losses (except for the salvage value I can recover from a RMA replacement part they send to me.)
#2. Build and sell used computers so I will have boxes to install these used pulls etc. and repaired components that I eventually receive when I RMA an item.
Until things change, any RMA is a dog, period!
Too bad there isn't pressure enough to get you to change mombo & cpu makers while obtaining a lower cost of ownership for your clients & maybe even a larger markup for you. I'll match my Gigabyte/AMD boards against your Asus/Intel boards for price, performance & failure rate any day. This is what happens when one tries to broaden their horizons by looking at the alternatives. OBTW I can FedEx Overnight a mombo from CA for very little money & since this cost get past onto the customer what do I care?
For the record I've not had to eat one mombo, cpu or ram that I sold to a client. Not one. I would call that a very low failure rate.
