I agree. My main beef is the lousy service.
While under the in house service portion of my warranty, my graphics
adapter failed. It took 3 weeks for them to finally send someone to
replace the motherboard. 

I wasted hours, literally, by waiting on hold on their useless
customer support line. The waiting periods were long ( 45 min being
common ) and the people were usually not very helpful.
