Get a bad CPU or RAM card, faulty mobo, or poor functioning optical drive? This thread is for telling us what brands and manufactures are selling substandard, faulty and/or defective equipment. There has to be some bad equipment, no one's perfect. Let us hear those horror stories and how you fared with customer support.
Well i got a mobo that only just works lol, its an asrock, and one of the IDE connectors doesnt work, so running a optical and hd drive on the primary, but htat is probley my fault lol. Oh and i think anuything q-tec is probley best avoided, the reason they are cheap is just that they are cheap.

Then you can put an optical drive on USB, so you have some way to load and burn optical discs. Or if you have a spare PCI slot, you can get an adapter card and run a drive from there.
My sister set up a wireless network with a BELKIN wireless router for adsl and a BELKIN wireless card. After many calls to her ISP provider, BT and BELKIN, BELKIN support told her she should have her PC only about 20 feet from the router and if possible right beside it!!! For the love of god, this company states it can do ranges of up to 200 feet on their packaging! What a waste of time and money, I plan to set up a wireless network myself but wont be using BELKIN.
Belkin wireless routers, even the original "b" can reach much further then what you just stated. Feel confident to set it up and us it. Now if you really want some kick, get a Belkin Pre-N router and just about walk the neighborhood when you are surfing the net!
