I'm typing this on a 3-month-old Dell Vostro, their line targeted at small businesses. I hope that it has higher quality parts than the consumer stuff, but who knows?
This machine comes without a lot of the extra software that seems to go in consumer machines, i.e. games, yet seems to have everything I have needed to run a small business. When figuring out the cost of a BYO computer, you may be shocked to find out the price for the Microsoft operating system, which made the decision to buy much easier.
Dell buys components and circuit boards from the worldwide pool of electronics suppliers. At my full-time job, we have several of their HDTV/Monitors that have died. It turns out that a capacitor manufacturer in China has been supplying bad electrolytic capacitors. One has to wonder if this same manufacturer supplies caps for their computers.
