Does anyone have anything Good or bad to say about Micron PC's

I have read some very good reviews I wonder if there are any Micron users out there that can fill in the blanks?

"The most unique system in this roundup is certainly the Micron Millennia MAX....Micron uses a different chip set and a leading-edge disk subsystem to differentiate its product." PCWorld magazine...
Also from PCWorld.com This 800-MHz Millennia Max's unusual motherboard provides both Slot 1 and Socket 370 processor slots, so you can upgrade the system with either type of CPU. A well-designed interior offers four open slots, five open bays, and a power supply that swings out to provide even more work space. Text stayed sharp up to the unbelievably high resolution of 2048 by 1536 on the 19-inch Micron Trinitron CPD-4401 monitor. Colors appeared rich (albeit a tad dark) on test images. The PC comes with a year of free online training."

They have a better csr rating than Dell, but I haven't heard anything bad about them yet.

They do make solid computers.
 
One bad. They are just as expensive as the rest of the bunch of tier 1 oems.That means they are not competitive with your local computer store. (that reminds me,I should charge double for taking Tier 1 oem systems in for repair.----NOT----- thats why we are better than teir 1.)🙂
 
Micron is probably the least propietary of any of the most popular oem machines from my expierence. For example they use the Tyan trinity 400 in their motherboards which you can go out and buy instead of some goofy no named motherboard. I had a gateway that used an intel motherboard but with intel you can't tweak much =).

Sorry I didn't notice that I said the exact opposite of what I meant. Errrrrrrr. Thanks for PM me.
 
My first computer was a Micron and I can say only good things about them.
No matter if I messed up my computer or if some other third party software or hardware I put in messed things up, they always helped me fix it at their expense.
I had a mouse and some fans go bad over the years and they always sent the stuff out ASAP no questions asked.
Micron was very good to me.
 
Micron is a great company. I have 2 micron PCs. Both were top of the line when I got them a over 3 years ago. One was a Laptop loaded with everything under the sun for that time. It still works fine and I use it as my main laptop after adding some more ram. The second is a workstation type Pentium pro 200 also loaded (with SCSI, Zip and CD drives, NT 4.0, sound, speakers, high end graphics, etc.) That's also still chugging away with no problems at all. Of course I added lot's of RAM, two more SCSI Hard disks, dual boot for NT and Linux. All seems good. Never a problem. It has one of those neat enclosures, similar to ones used by high-end Dells. It was easy to open up to add RAM and new Drives. They are very good for support. ONce I had a problem with the laptop, they sent me a box and a mailing voucher, and paid for shipping both ways. I am not familiar with their current line of products, but they are a quality organization.
 
Got one when 150 MHz. 1.6 Gb and 16 of SIMMs were state of the art. Great service & tech support at the time. They offered the most for the least.

My wife has it now. It's now a K6-2 300 with a Tyan mobo 64 of PC-100 RAM and a WD 8.4Gb. Everything else (sound card, speakers, 28.8 modem, CD-ROM, case PS) is original and works great.

The CPU, RAM and mobo are now working in a friends machine.

Micron replaced at no charge (including return postage):

1- The 17" monitor
2- The 6X CD-ROM for a 12X
3- The Advent Powered Partnrers with Sub Woofer
4- The complete software package that I lost.
 
My parents and uncle have each boughten a couple Microns and they love them. My first puter was from then and I went through two vid cards and they replaced them both for free. Their new cases are a breeze to get in and out of too. If you aren't into building one then I recommend getting a Micron.
 
Thank you all for your comments. I had narrowed my search down to three companies before I came to this forum. Dell, Gateway and Micron... I do believe I have the information I need to begin and Micron will be the company I start with. Dell was second and then Gateway.

AxelRose I'd love to try and build one but I'm to affraid i'll burn something out and then im s _ _ t out of luck. I can live with someone else building it for me as long as I get some input as to what goes in it.
 
Another point for Micron is that they are the only one of the three
OEM's you mentioned that offer system with PC-133 SDRAM, and Micron
is known for manufacturing great RAM modules. Their high-end systems
also come with a great case with plenty of cooling.
