I work for a school system that used Gateways. After MPC took over, getting warranty parts was a hassle. And since October, we haven't received any.
Not so much a problem for standard desktops, since we can use standard parts for those, but we have labs full of their Profile 5.5. The power bricks on those die all the time, and we've only found a few sources to buy them, for $120 to $150 each.

I also use this. I added an extra hard drive, and let Synctoy run every other morning, copying specified folders to it.
