Does it seem as if the hardware of late is really crappy???

I have had to rma or about to rma more products in the last 2 months then the last 2 years combined then doubled....

from motherboards that don't support what they say to mobo that plain fail....from vid cards that fail to vid cards that just can't get all the features I paid for to work...

I am starting to get discouraged as my cpu never seems altogether and buttoned up....I am about to just call it quits for awhile....

That's a shame. I haven't really had any problems, save an MSI mainboard I bought that turned out to have a wire soldered on to it to fix a broken trace...

On the other hand, cases have gotten much, much better recently.

it's because of the marketing and the shareholders rushing products out to market before they're fully tested. and with the recession it's getting worse...

Cough...cough...Panasonic...cough.

You would think they could AT LEAST make sure they labeled the remote properly.

I haven't noticed anything like that of late but then again I never have any problems with anything I buy. ;)

Why do you call it a cpu? a cpu is only part of a computer system.:confused:

No...no problems with the cpu...I meant the whole system in general....
