Got nothing much to do and decided to share some of my hardware experience with you folks. When you OC or simply expose more than a few PC’s, you bound to experience some technical problems. Following is my personal encounters:

1) Motherboard:
Abit has the best customer service, next will be Asus. I get to know most if not all MSI support team by their first name in California, if only MSI could make better products. Abit sent me back the $25 refund after they found out the defect came from the factory.

2) Graphic Card:
ATI is hell a lot better than NVIDIA. The Canadians do an excellent job.

3) Hard drive
IBM has the worst 40 – 60 GB drive money can buy, but their replacement is fast. Western Digital is the best.

4) Corsair memory
Not necessary the best of the best in some applications. Their support and customer service is the best in the industry.

5) Heatsink
Thermalright will give you the parts you misplaced and send it to you free.

6) Power Supply
If only they are ISO certified, don’t buy.

7) Processor
Intel keeps everything “top secret”.
AMD exposes themselves to much to the world.
