IBM POWER5 1.5 GHz processor board

Advantages: Very hot - great if you are in a cold climate
Disadvantages: Overheats

...Pros: Nice big screen, fast processor. When you pump it up to 1GB RAM it works quite well You can put your coffee cup next to the cooling fan outlet and keep your coffee warm for hours. Great in cold climates. It's got the IBM logo on the outside. Now that I know that IBM stands for "Its a Broken Machine" I'm no longer as thrilled. I am retiring the machine as a LAMP server and have moved my Windows apps to my Acer replacement laptop. Cons: The hard drive died within a week of using it. It was replaced under warranty, but they installed the wrong OS. When the correct OS was installed, it came with free spyware. 18 months later this laptop still overheats terribly, and the IBM workshop took 4 weeks to "fix" it and there is no improvement whatsoever. It's a terrible design flaw, and totally overpriced. I am using a replacement laptop... Read review

...Well I have to come with the review of PC computer. Lenevo think center is a brand of computer that never made waves in the computer market. But I decided to give it a try by buying it and wanted to get rid of the popular dell, IBM and apple computers for some time. Well the lenovo think center computer has proved to be a bit different. Some features actually made me to purchase the product and are features like the administrator password, power on password, booting without mouse and key board, hard drive I/O control, usb control, serial port I/O control, boss Sequence control and diskette I/O control. These are the features that really made me to splash at about £250.60 on it.
