Heh, well... over a year after I got my dell, they sent me a free replacement part when one got fried due to lightning. The guy talked me through everything over the phone (back when I knew nothing about computers), and said they'd send me the part. Got it a few days later, and was fine.
I've had bad luck with compaq though, for just the reasons you don't like Dell. Just depends.. Anyway, you shoulda just built your own this time around.
