# Legally
this company can put the product right and not refund you (small print - stated). As it is, I eventually put it to the company that if it fails again then they were to refund. In the end they repaired it and upgraded it. I can't fault them really, as the problems have been irratic, and hard to trace. They only occured now and then, so testing and soak tests didn't show them. Hats off though, as they do come out to fix it on site, no cost...and often with new goodies such as 480w power and 1gig DDR RAM....

# Hmmmmm.....
It's like having a Ferrari...

Great car....no good across the fields though!

It depends if you want faultless power for all your add on bits, or a cheaper electric bill (mines pretty damn cheap anyway!)

And I have a Range Rover (very old tatty one...but better than a Ferrari across the fields!)...and no...I'm not a typical RR aloof owner!
