At the risk of repeating what has been said... IMHO they are good until something goes wrong. Then they're not so good. However, to be fair that can be said of a lot of other companies...

My view would be that they are good if

(a) you're looking to buy something that's fairly cheap and reasonably well-specified for the money

and

(b) you are happy to fix most problems yourself

If you like the security of having help if something goes wrong then go elsewhere - but remember that the support is factored into the asking price, so that 'bargain' deal may come at the expense of useless tech-support later on.
