Hewlett packards - Posted elsewhere, anger remains

First, Ikea, sounds like you've got a bad power supply. It would explain the random shut-offs and the plug falling into the computer. Try having the power supply replaced by the manufacturer and see if that helps.

Second, I haven't built a computer from scratch in two years. Haven't really kept up with the latest tech either, so I would have to do some serious research if I wanted to build my own home PC now. So, I'll probably go with a Dell when I get a new one.

One question, is there a notebook with docking station that is the equal to a high-end desktop in everyway? Always heard the processors and drives are a little slower, more expensive, less expandible, etc.
