Ok that's good about the HD's.
I don't fully remember now your original question and all of my
reply (you removed them), so going from a sketchy memory of
them.......I'm not familiar with that company. But I don't
think that's considered "name brand", but they could do the
same things as a name brand PC (HP, Compaq, etc.) with regards
to the way they install the OS. The problem those types have
with the SP3 issue is way XP is installed. The intelppm.sys
file has a serious problem on AMD platforms when SP3 is
installed (causes the infinite reboot loop I mentioned). That
file is not supposed to be on AMD PC's, it's only for Intel
platforms (I think it's a CPU driver related to some sleep or
suspend mode feature).
If you do decide to install it and you have the problem, just
post to the list and I can tell you how to fix it.

I have 2 external hard drive enclosures that I use for cloning
my hard drive
using Acronis.
I got this off Wikipedia

PC Club is a privately-owned, United States-based chain of
computer hardware
stores established in City of Industry, California in 1992. The
stores are
located primarily in west-coast states and stock hardware and
peripherals
for PCs and complete computer systems assembled under the brand
name
Enpower.
Enpower
Enpower is the name brand for computer systems that are sold
through PC Club
for over 16 years. What supposedly makes Enpower systems
different from many
large distributors is that they are built from brand new ,
name-brand parts
and include a full-install copy of Microsoft Windows (rather
than a recovery
disc loaded with extra software).

I think my motherboard is an MSI.
