Same with our HP desktops, failure rates near zero.

Most of the Dells that have died around here shipped with XP or Vista, so they had served for many years beyond expectations.
Ours aren't that bad, but close.
But with an i5, 4-8GB of RAM, and an SSD, they are fine.
Luckily, we are replacing the old Optiplexes with new Precisions, dual SSDs, 16gb+, etc. Some of them even have dual CPU sockets.

Yeah, getting away from the whiteboxes they had when I started hear has made my job so much easier. Also realized that you can pickup refurbished workstation class hardware for about the same money as a new desktop. That's two orders of magnitude we've moved up in reliability!

I have a Z420 at work and it's awesome. We bought some new beefy Z400's that are working really well also. 128GB RAM and dual 6 core Xeons.

Fujitsu isn't bad either. No faults in nearly 6 years, apart from a fan on an AMD FirePro. Decent dual-socket workstation are available too: Celsius R5xx line.

I just got back from lunch, and have a headache.... bah.
Anyways for lunch I had a roast beef sandwich, with chips and a pickle spear.

Oh, ok. You can see them as often as Dell or HP here.

Getting ready to go grab some dinner before tonight's live event: Rifftrax (MST3K guys) live riffing the classic Mothra!

Dinner is underway here. Considering Sonic drinks just because.

Noticing the age in my profile is wrong.
Just by a day or so, though!

Did some work on a critical server that I built for a customer a few years ago. Noticed uptime: 831 days.
Wow.
