You could have put $200 away each month by now & purchased a sweet Dell. Then sold your HP when they were done fixing it. I do a lot of graphics on multiple Dells, and never really have any problems. For you MAC lovers, MACS are just a more expensive way to do graphics, with the same results. Save your money, go PC.
I bought a dell less than one year ago. Since, the power supply has went out, the sound card, and now just recently, the DVD player. . That's unbelievable for less than a year.
Before that I had a Dell and the motherboard crashed as it was approaching 2 years old.
I also have a Gateway and the DvD player broke just recently.
Now I finally bought a Mac... It is amazing .. LOVE IT! I will never buy anything else! It just functions like a dream. And I won't need to upgrade it for a very long time.
