In the 9 Dell desktop PCs we installed in my department at work a year ago 
we've already had 2 hard drive failures, 2 NIC failures, and one dying 
monitor.  All different PCs.

7 years ago we installed 45 Compaqs and in the first year we had 5 
motherboard failures and 3 monitor failures.  By the end of the 30 month 
lease the monitor failure had risen to over 10.

Does anyone make reliable PCs anymore?
