Desktop Computer Review: HP Pavilion S3100N Slimline Desktop PC (AMD Athlon 64 Processor 4000+, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB Hard Drive, Vista Premium) Review

I bought it in July 2007. In April 2008, 9 month later, it had a boot error. I was on the phone with hp for 3 month. They had me put in a new hard drive that they sent me and do a recovery. It was slow, which they didn't believe me. They told me it is because I had so much on the computer. First, I lost everything when it didn't boot up anymore and second I don't do that much on the computer. Then they tried to tell me that it is normal, it is a slow machine. I don't think it is normal that I can't do anything while Norton is scanning. After nights (because I have a fulltime job during the day) on the phone with them they finally took it in and looked at it. When I got it back it ate a DVD while I was doing the recovery discs. It just didn't open anymore. When I called them, totally frustrated, they informed me that now my warranty ran out. I called in July 2008. So now I have insult to injury. After arguing with them they did take it back and fixed it again. I got it back and it had been working okay for the last 7 month. Now my Recovery drive is red ( almost full). I don't save anything on it. I don't even use my computer that much. I put pictures, music and documents on it (the C drive). I went on the hp website and they tell me I have to delete everything that is not important for recovery of the d drive. I don't save anything on it and I have no idea what the other stuff is. I can't call them because they will charge me an arm and a leg. And frankly, I rather buy a new computer before I put any more money into hp.
