Welp, looks like my next hardware isn't gonna be Dell ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

I got fucked by them over a decade ago. Naively bought an Alienware for college. Burned out two motherboards on it while it was under warranty which they replaced. Naturally it burned out a third one outside of my warranty window which they refused to help with unless I paid them half the value of the laptop. Told them no thanks, instead Iโ€™ll tell everyone I know that their hardware is garbage.

My old dell server hardware is surprisingly crap as well

I've gone through 4 PSUs in the last 5 years

IMO it's a bit surprising

I'd expect a company to at least sell decent hardware to their enterprise customers but I guess not in this case

If it breaks, you can just sell them more ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
