1427404	2016-10-20 04:39:00	just make sure whatever you get has a SSD and a dedicated GPU with gddr5. which means you should get the hp envy for $4k or get a HP Pavilion 24-B015a from paradigm pc for $1619 and put an ssd in it. www.pp.co.nz HP ProOne 400 G2 W9B47PA for $1,343.50 shipped from elive doesn't have a dedicated gpu but its integrated graphcs are more than enough to run civ5 or dota2	Mirddes (10)

1427406	2016-10-20 21:38:00	The only worry with these would be the Motherboard replacement if needed and the extra cost and wait if not available Most other parts would be easily sourced other AIO parts that could be an issue when out of warranty : power supply(if internal) , display boards , usb connector boards . We have a 27" i7 AIO sitting here: unusable motherboard fault , motherboards no longer available : so its a very expensive right off. turns out this model had alot of mb failures, that may be why the part isnt available anymore :badpc: Dont buy one if you want to keep it long term.	1101 (13337)

Sounds a lot similar to one I had here a while back, HP, All-In-One had some sort of power surge , blew the motherboard, and in the process decided to take out several other components as well ( as I found out) took about a month to get a replacement Board, even then it was refurbished as they didn't have any new ones and the PC was only 3 years old. The board was going to be about $400. When the board was put in, it was then discovered the other boards in the unit had blown as well. It was decided not to repair as parts would have to be brought in and replaced one by one. Would have been OK if having spare parts to check, but with so many different models its not really possible. Old story -- If its a AIO and fails better hope its in warranty other wise it can be very expensive to repair unless its something like a HDD or Memory.	wainuitech (129)

I get nervous ordering expensive replacement parts, if it turns out there other other issues as well, you're stuck with a non refundable part when the cust cancels or just doesnt show up again. Non standard mb's, with non standard power connectors make it a crap shoot as to what part(s) is faulty.	1101 (13337)

Non standard mb's, with non standard power connectors make it a crap shoot as to what part(s) is faulty. It was a bit of a complicated story. I originally got a Power Adaptor from my supplier in Palmerston North, as he advised its often those that fail, and the HPs' are REALLY fussy about output voltage/Amps. Even 1 amp out and they wont work in some cases. Once we got the PSU /adaptor, found out that wasn't a problem, then he got the motherboard - Apparently the model I had it was common in blowing boards so he went through a few. As he said if the parts didn't work then no cost, I didn't have to buy them because he would use them himself eventually. AFAIK if you get parts from HP :waughh: Its tough luck if its the wrong failed part - you brought it. Some items do have a non return. Problem with HP (EMPR) is even when they say they have stock it can take 1-2 weeks. Got a battery for a laptop a few months back--Flipping hell :mad: No other battery place in NZ could get them ( the model required) EMPR- said had in stock, delivery 1-2 days :clap A week later - now ETA - 1-2 weeks Grrrrrrrr 3 weeks later now gone to 4 weeks WTF!!! Called them and asked what was going on - Was told they were in stock ??? SO why all the ETA changing ????? Turned up the following day. With a STD desktop PC its easy to "fudge" parts to check what's actually failed, ( unless someone let the smoke out of it and its obvious) often it may not be the exact same component but have spares on hand to test, Example graphic Cards, old motherboards with same socket etc. My "stack" of PSU's :D Laptop Screens of various sizes /makes and models, inverters.	wainuitech (129)
