I've had 3 Quantum SCSI hard drives fail on me and one SCSI Seagate. Fortunately I had CD backups but those crashes caused considerable trouble and expense.Maybe I'm unlucky but I've also had motherboard failures in the last 12 months. The first caused me to ditch the desktop and get another. So help me if the new motherboard did not have a heart failure after only a few weeks and had to be replaced :-( under warranty.
So perhaps you can understand my scepticism about reliability!
These days I use this HP notebook more than the desktop and the notebooks have the reputation of poorer reliability than desktops so I guess I'm a devil for punishment.

Follow Ups:
i hate to say it, but check your power supply and/or conditioner... if you don't have a surge/conditioner on your system i would definetly get one... the reliability of my system went way up when i switched to an Enermax power supply coupled with a monster HTS2000 for my PC.... i have not had problems with RAM/MB(Asus/Abit), hard drives (Cheetah 15K RPM), or anything else for a few years... i mostly attribute that to the clean power i give it.. I cycle often and still don't have any issues with no power-on. I had a bad CPU about 4 years ago and a bad stick of RAM about that long ago and that was the last time i had problems... my system gets upgraded when i can double the CPU speed (about once a year, but most of the system satys intact, or gets a new MB if the old one does not support the CPU).Sam
... have a UPS in place and pretty stable supply here anyway. But I'll follow your suggestion and check it out. Guess I'm just unlucky.John
