ricki Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Hi We are thinking about purchasing a suite of MSI All in Ones but I have never had any dealings with this company. Has anyone any of these and are they any good? Have you any comments? Whats the 3 year warranty like and do they have any problems? Thanks for all your help. Richard
PeterW Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Which model are you looking at? Although the warranty is collect and return like a notebook the repair facility is thier own (not contracted out) and can repair all the way down to component level on the mainboards.
glennda Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 from the last lot of MSI hardware we had (got rid last summer) it was awful when they bought it and even worse when we got rid
Millgate Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I've dealt with them a few times and found the service hasn't been the best and neither has the price Personally, I'd look at other options Cheers
glennda Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I would look at either the Stone all in one (not that i've used it) or one of custom made models they do. I have around 750 pc's from them now

difinity Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 I've been building PCs for over 10 years, i've always stayed clear of MSI stuff.
Guest Guest Posted September 7, 2011 Posted September 7, 2011 MSI are imo the cheap low quality brand that I never buy.
ricki Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 Thanks for the comments so far. If anyone else has any please can you add them to the list. Richard
Millgate Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 Have you looked at the Dell Inspiron One 2205's??? Just got loads for another school and they love them! Good prices too Cheers
ricki Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 yes and one turned up but they dont have the vesa wall mounts on the back. Richard
ricki Posted September 12, 2011 Author Posted September 12, 2011 I would look at either the Stone all in one (not that i've used it) or one of custom made models they do. I have around 750 pc's from them now I think stone computers are great too but the library has been designed about a dell vostro all in one that they have taken out of production and the latest versions do not have the vesa connection on the back. I am coming across the problem that we can get what we want but companies are quoting a lead time of up to 8 weeks as companies are making them to order and not keeping stocks due to the financial climate. The other models like the msi have not got the proven track record of companies like dell and stone but they claim to be able to deliver quickly. As the library needs to be completed urgantly we are considering all options. Richard
Millgate Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 (edited) I'm sure I'll be able to sort some vesa mounts on the back. I'm 99% certain that the ones I bought recently had vesa mounts. If you want to pm me the detail of the specs you need and the number of machines, I'll get on it first thing in the morning. Cheers Edited September 12, 2011 by Millgate Auto spell incorrect!
PeterW Posted September 12, 2011 Posted September 12, 2011 but they claim to be able to deliver quickly I'm sure you are aware but just incase you are not the MSI ones require a special bracket to make them VESA compliant.
ricki Posted September 13, 2011 Author Posted September 13, 2011 I'm sure you are aware but just incase you are not the MSI ones require a special bracket to make them VESA compliant. I did not but will ask them on Thursday when they come in. Richard
