Re: Dell vs. SuperMicro: Reliabilty and parts availability

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

I have not been really happy with Supermicro, I had a server case with
triple redundant power supplies, the PSU's went dead one at a time and I had
to pay shipping on each and everyone of them and no cross ship from them, it
seemed obvious to me that there was a problem with the units but they
refused to acknowledge it.
