Packard Bells break. I used to work in a store that did warranty work
on them. Their power supplies are all destined for a short life. Would never
use one as a server (then there's service and support, but that's another
story).
Couldn't tell ya for sure about Acer. They're a big company, so
you'll probably find lots of good and bad reports.
