 That is why we are looking for Dell alternatives.  We had a MB totally die on our main Domain Controller.  Not even a light or fan windup.  We spent over $5,000 to upgrade our 24hr onsite repair for 4hr onsite repair and extended another 2 years for our 4 Dell servers.
 
 Also a number of laptops with various bad hardware components needed to be replaced.  Desktops have been solid though.

 As for desktops, we're switching from Dell desktops to HP desktops.  Mostly due to the fiasco with the GX270 line (EVERY 270 we ordered had to be repaired about 10K of them).  Capacitors on the MB blew...

 The HP's we had at our school seemed to die quite easily, that could be due to the fact that they had 3-6 different irresponsible teens on them every day
   
 How are they holding up thus far?
