From the few hundred I have had my hands on, Dells usually held up well and gave little if any trouble. Really old units had typical failures such as boards/power supplies/bad caps.

If my memory serves me, it was just a specific optiplex model.

Thats the only one they’ve admitted the problem existed on.

It does and mine fails me on which one. 520’s and up that I run into seem durable enough.

We had a problem with some (non-Dell) motherboards about 10 years ago. There were a batch of capacitors from Taiwan that were defective and ended up in a lot of machines.

This was probably a similar problem.
