Philips chassis is the main problem, thermal dissipation is difficult due to its design which causes unrectifiable (unless moving the case) overheating problems...

Advents are good even the older builds, the newer ones like the T9306 are Serious PCs (IIRC Wayne has one) and they're normally reliable too - if you have an Advent MAKE YOUR RECOVERY MEDIA NOW as we can't get them.

Strzelecki: We were playing with the command prompt interface on the Packard Bell F11 recoveries earlier, that we actually managed to "discover" - Ctrl+C accesses it from where the usual tools, chkdsk, xcopy, reloadhs etc all work, not sure about Notepad, diskpart etc but it's almost worth knowing... same as Alt+D in the Advent ones. It's something PB didn't even tell us about either...

Yeah - if anyone wants any advice on a DSG PC please post!
