The lesson: Never pay more than a couple hundred bucks for a PC. Avoid toys like the plague.

If you need features or power, you certainly have to spend more than a couple of hundred dollars. Business class desktops/workstations often come with substantial warranties, and my seven year old Acer Veriton i5 is still chugging fine. I spent more than "a couple of hundred dollars" on it. Heck, I spent that on the 1TB SSD upgrade!

My lesson is tat Microsoft never was a very good hardware company, unless you count mice and keyboards. In the past, when they came out with add-on cards and what not, it never worked out well.
