Does this even require a poll? Compaq by far is the worst!

That's only because your stupid. Seriously, have you tried upgrading both Compaq and Gateway? Or simply replacing parts with STANDARD (not factory ordered) replacements?

Well, Packard-Bell doesn´t exist anymore as a computer manufacturer( They do only as a bad memory for some people!)!
So they shouldn´t be added to the poll!

That's right. Compaq, Gateway and many other large PC vendors use proprietary crap so that you find it to difficult to upgrade. It's called planned obscelence... some marketing butthead realized that if you made it hard on the average person to upgrade they would more often just buy a new computer, thus giving the company a new sell, fatter profits, etc. All at the expense of the consumer. Ahhh capitalism at it's finest.

Reply to nicewar

I've owned hundreds of Gateways and never had a single proprietary part in them. Even the short ones used standard LPX motherboards (meaning you upgrade the board but keep the riser card). I have seen their all-in-one units and their book sized units, but have never owned one as they are not popular with government agencies from whom I purchase. In fact I believe those styled to be a very small part of the market, and I cannot see a praticle solution for providing standard motherboards in those circumstances, so they only use proprietary stuff when standard stuff is not available. You have to remember that Gateway is a corperate version of your friendly neighborhood dealer (meaning that they offer so many different configurations that it is cheaper for them to use standard parts).

Thanks for straightening me out on Gateway, never owned one, made the assumption that they were like some of the other large vendors out there.

Reply to nicewar

Yeh, I sell a lot of them. Of coarse it is possible to get one of their all-in-one units, or a book-sized unit, but those are not nearly as popular as the ATX units are. In fact, the other types are so unpopular I have never seen one for sale on the used market.

Compaq makes some awesome servers...but their workstations are another story. How can they get one SO right and the other SO wrong?

Reply to FrankW

What are you people talking about... this is what you get when you try and be CHEAP. I have seen all of them and they ALL SUCK. The only way to go is to learn how to build your own and DO It yourself.......
