well ... my $work has been using dell exclusively for servers and
workstations for 5 years.
I have had no real issues with either the poweredge servers or the
desktops and Dell has always sent parts in a timely manner to replace
any broken system under warranty.
We don't have too many servers (about 20 in 5 locations) or workstations
(about 150 in 5 locations) but I have had no problem with Dell machines
or their service ... maybe I am just lucky.
Thanks,
