[G4] G5 question

[B G]

I believe he was referring to large number of boxes made by numerous  
companies that use low cost parts. I have had numerous power supply  
failures in windoze boxes.

There are some really poor ones out there. most of the big guys(dell,  
HP, compaq, etc ) use higher quality parts.
