  The 1st one exploded and tripped my office's circuit breaker couple of months ago.....Then just now colleague ran to me in fear saying she smell burning smell from her desktop..
  
  I have checked that the 2 desktops are from the same batch...
  
  So anyone using acer at home...try not to leave your hardware running when no one is at home or watching it....in case it starts a fire...
  
  Cheers

  actually she never make spoilt, its just unlucky that the computer break down which is expected. (broke down more than 10 times, i guess)
  
  i got post the issue on sgforums, but they advised me to go pc shop and repair. and now my sister dun want to go to the pc shop.

  Had a acer lappy 2 yrs ago.Used to run 24/7 for quite awhile,rebooting it once in awhile.Now when i run applications for barely an hour the laptop would overheat and auto reboot.
  
  Brought it to the service centre they claimed that there was no problem with it.Now it's just rotting at some corner of my house.

  USED to be shared among the whole family.
  
  i was using it at the start, keep on breakdown after the free warranty year. then my sisters blamed me for making spoilt it(cause i use most of the time??!?!)
  
  feeling unfair, i took $$ and bought a compaq evo to use. currently did not give me any problems.
  
  however the acer, is now my sisters, break down again. i am soo lucky i not using it, if not must carry it to go repair~
