Acer Veriton M6610 :- DOA x 2

Hi
Has anyone had any problems with these units? Their release was delayed due to the faulty Intel chip. I bought one in April, turns out the sound is not working. It's in an office environment to I took a while to realize it.

I took it to Acer, after a couple of days they tell me the motherboard needs to be replaced and it will take a week to get another one. A week later they still have no ETA. But, they will do a DOA on it. Problem is credit will take 2 days to go through to Tarsus.

So, this afternoon I go get another one (my cost), plug in, turn on, beeps, boots, reboot, "windows has shut down abnormally", all within a few seconds. If it boots windows gives BSOD.

I try do the AcerRecovery, also crashes. So another DOA.

I have been relatively happy with the Acer products and service in the past.

Does anyone else have similar experiences?

I've moved on from Acer to Dell. No problems, and the 3 year warranties are awesome. They give excellent service. Acer's USED to be pretty good, but not anymore. Got burnt too many times.
