We had a batch of 5 that were all faulty a few months ago.

Lots of bad RAM, bad motherboards and many failed drives.

I don't think I've ever experienced so much faulty gear in a year before

I really wouldn't mind if the PC industry took a year off making things
faster and spent some time on quality and design.
