Before I knew any better my first PC was an HP. Left it on maybe 8 hours a day at most, and within the 1st year both system fans failed, the card reader failed, and then the power supply once it was one month out of warranty. Garbage stuff.
On another note entirely, it continues to amaze me how much OEM computers place an emphasis on the CPU compared to the GPU, even though most of the people who buy the high-end stuff probably want to do a lot of high end gaming on it. The Elite HPE-190t will actually have the mighty i7-980X, but it'll probably end up with a GPU like a GTX 260 or Radeon 4850, and the people who buy it will wonder why they paid almost $2,000 for a computer and still won't be able to play every game on max settings. Oh well.
