bharless said:Thought I'd point out that the Gx-270 and 280's have, if you hadn't heard, hardware problems coming off the line. The capacitors on the motherboard will sometimes blow. You can see this if you notice them bulging at all, or if you see anything leaking from them. In many cases, the machines continue to function, but develop intermittent problems, such as random crashing/lockups. I believe Dell issued a recall on a lot of the boards for these machines, too (I've been sent to replace many). Hope this helps.
haha had a GX 270 a few months ago take the capacitors with it. though dell replaced it next day the down time on the machine it controlled cost us 112,000 dollars.
