Advice (or why I'll never buy another Driverack)

Hello,
I have this problem:
I bought 2 DR 260's and one DR PA in mid '05.
After about 3 months the PA started getting a garbled display, both the 260's followed shortly after. The units would continue working, but the display got really messed up. This occurs in all conditions - inside air conditioned and outside in the heat. The driveracks are mounted 4 rackspaces away from any heat producing devices. In the past turning the power off and on would usually solve the problem. Today I fired up my rig after about 3 months of non-use. Both 260's booted up with messed up displays. One had a blank screen and the other was all garbled. Rebooting had no effect. I openend them up, and uplugged and replugged the display connectors. That fixed the problem, but then one of them boots with this error \"Hard Checksum Error - Press
PrevPage\" when I press prev page it says \"resetting all user presets\" luckily after it does that, I still have my first preset - the one that I need.
Well, I just had to vent my problem. After tommorow's gig, I will go out and buy some different companie's processors. I just can't believe all three units have experienced the same problem. I posted about this on the old forum, but didn't really get an answer. These units have had very little use since purchased - maybe 45 gigs at the most since mid '05.
