Yes, this annoyance goes _way_ back. Even back in XT clone days, we hobbyists noticed that generic Taiwanese clone gear was greatly more standardised, and easier / more inexpensive to work on, than any of the brand-name gear. Typically much more IBM-compatible, too (which then mattered).
yeah, i remember. it's when i first developed my dislike of name-brand PC gear. the whitebox clone stuff was so much less hassle. also better and faster for a LOT less money.
With the aftermarket fan, it's ultra-cool and almost completely silent, and some day I hope to make it a 'stealth' modern workstation with a 2010s
why 2010 when 2015/2016 stuff is so much better, cooler, less power, and faster?
I feel bad following up to say this, but what I said and meant was '2010s', i.e. this decade, not 2010 the year.
