Compaq sucks

[EyeMWing]

So I grabbed these two P4 2.8GHz Compaq EVO's off the inbound pile on my way out today. Going to prep them into server roles... Or, at least, that was the plan. Neither of the damned things POST!

And I can't do any troubleshooting here, because I lack the requisite Torx screwdriver that Compaq uses for everything.

Arrrgh.

Speaking as someone with a stack of nearly 2000 Compaq Deskpros and about 75 EVO's awaiting processing, compared to approximately a half dozen Dells of any description, I'm ALLOWED to say "I hate Compaq"
