You haven't experienced the worst until you've tried an Aris
Microcomputer PC. In my experience, that is the worst, absolutely the
poorest made PC in the world. Granted they purchase brand-name
components but they're not tested for compatibility! I bought one 2
years back. Before 6 months went by, all sorts of gremlins went to
work - sudden crashes, sudden re-boots, ports quitting on you without
rhyme or reason.
I must have contacted them a dozen times. Each time, some poor
technician comes around, fiddles around trying to fix an essentially
irreparable computer, at his wits' end. After numerous calls for a
resolution, I gave up. In the end, I decided that that, in order to
prevent high blood pressure and homicidal urges, I'd better get rid of
it. Bought motherboard, chip, etc., separately and installed
everything inside the Aris case and my newly upgraded computer works
fine! Cost me an additional two grand but it's worth it just to get
the bad taste of the @#$*&%$*& out of my mouth. I just hope they
haven't cheated too many students (or people with limited budgets) out
of their hard-earned savings. Somebody should do something about large
corporates who bully individual consumers - they ignore you knowing
fully well that one person cannot make a difference.
God save the world if they manage to get a public listing (and
horrors, distribute that poor excuse of a computer widely)!  : (
