I bought a monitor from Maxsaver (17" Samsung Ivory Color) last 2007. The monitor is still in "very" good condition up to this very moment, I've upgraded my monitor to a 19" LCD at home and placed the monitor I bought at Maxsaver on my internet cafe last 2009, and up to this very moment, as we speak, it's in "very" good running condition. I also bought a P4 CPU unit at Maxsaver last 2009, CPU unit lang, I gave it to my Mom for her to use it. And, still, up to this very moment, her PC has not faced a single problem, hardware or software wise. It just proves to show that sometimes we should not judge the store selling these 2nd hand products and not put the blame on them. Di ko motuo anang branded2x ug brand new, naa ra jud na sa pag gamit sa tao (dili malmal ug mag salig sa warranty), kay mostly jud, basta within warranty, we push the hardware to the limit coz we know, it will be replaced, which is very wrong. I've been teaching computer technician since 2004, so I know how this works, and preventive maintenance is always the best way to "prevent" the hardware from bugging down.
I don't mean to offend anybody, I just want to share my "piece of the pie" on this thread.
Thanks for reading, and again, this is not intended to offend anybody.
Peace!!
