Having a large number of PCs at my employer - we do see a lot of units
fail at about a year.  The electrolytic capacitors on the motherboards
or GPUs pop like a bunch of zits.  Dell will replace the motherboard
under warranty and that board will last until the warranty expires.
Then the same thing will happen and the machine will get added to the
dead-dell pile in the corner of the lab.
