I have not read one thread about a broken PC, in all the surfing i've done between Autopia and DC. I agree with budman, with a little care and maintence it should last a while. I've also read members dropping their PCs on the floor and down stairs, and said it worked fine after. Mine fell of my recliner in the basement onto a concrete floor, when I checked to see if it worked it was fine(I've done a couple cars after that and haven't had any problems). The PC has to be one of the best investments in auto detailing.
