    Phoronix: PC Doctor Diagnostic Test Kit

    Whether you are using Windows or Linux, you are never free of running into hardware problems. It could be a bad power supply or a faulty motherboard, but an incorrect diagnosis can be costly and timely in production environments. PC-Doctor Inc, a company serving the computing community since 1993, recently sent out their PC Doctor Service Center 6 for review. This PC diagnostic test kit includes a variety of hardware and software for helping to diagnose computer problems. While this kit can help in solving computer problems, is it worth $400 USD?

    Looks like a nice tool for professionals if it actually works but it could have a better psu tester. I would say its geared towards professionals and not hobbyists and as such not a bad product imo(if it works that is).

      At first I thought this was a joke, but I took a look at the article. Good article by the way, as always. I got a idea, lets see if PC Doctor can fix problems!

      Code:
      sudo rm -rf /etc /usr /boot
      If it can't fix that, its not worthy. Haha, because thats about the worst mistake a Linux user could make. (Personally, no one could make that mistake hahaha) Alright I'm done making fun of pc doctor. In a way, it does look useful, but not for 400$, I agree with you guys. Thats way too much money for a diagnostic cd and a few adapters.

        Corsair Flash Voyager 4GB - $30 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820233027

        Radioshack Digital Multimeter - $30 - http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103176

        PCI POST card - $34 - http://www.amazon.com/Soyo-Computer-...4800814&sr=8-1

        All of that's under $100 USD... Use a LiveCD or a LiveUSB distribution and you're all set. It may take a few more minutes/seconds booting to the Linux Live distribution compared to the DR-DOS test, but for $300 cheaper, buy a six pack of your favorite beverage and enjoy the boot process

            You might want to use PassMark for a comparable.
            Benchmark & PC test software. Computer forensics and loopback test plugs for burn in testing.


            I'll second the Soyo PCI card.

            Unless your PSU tester can test load you might as well use DMM.
