I'd love to have new HP gear.
Unfortunately, it is all crap.
How about the commercial/professional HP
workstations (e.g Z820)?
Still HP engineered? Good quality?
I've been using a Z400-something at work for the past couple years and
it seems to be nicely constructed. It's solid (very little in the way
of cheap plastic panels), easy to service, and it's nice and heavy,
something I haven't experienced in PC hardware in quite awhile. So far
it hasn't given me a bit of trouble. Time of course will tell as to how
the electronics hold up.
(Then again, I also have had the same ugly Dell Precision
something-or-other machine (Dual P4-Xeon! Rambus memory!) running in my
office 24x7 since August of 2002 without any problems whatsoever, which
is not what I would have predicted had you asked me when I got the thing...)
