My Antec True-480 died after a year and a half and it cost like $100 and you couldn't find a better-reviewed power supply. LJ has a Dell that sits in my front room because the Dell supply totally died and Dell told him to replace the mother board.

Apparently Dell service has hit an all-time low and they are coming out with a new, more pricey product line with real service. But if people have to pay more to get service, might as well buy Apple.
