Hey all you techies, I posted a thread several months ago, complaining about the faulty capacitor issue we are having with our Dell Optiplex GX270's, and happily discovered that we are not alone. We are looking to purchase about 30 new workstations Q4 of this year, and I have to say my experience with these GX270's did not secure my future business with Dell products. What are some recommendations for comparable units. The config. will be pretty standard, WinXP, MS Office, and some other normal CPU intensive programs.
Thanks
 
i have 95 GX 280's coming in next week. Overall they arent that bad for work machines.
 
GX280's are great, MUCH better than the GX270's. I still prefer the GX620's though, really sexy :)

I also like, from a user support standpoint, the diagnostic LED's being on the front. This can help if you ever have to do something over the phone ;)
 
This is true. I need to get my hardtoken linked to me to do more things over the phone. *post it note*

I also just ordered 25 of these.
 
SC430 :)

Dont ever try and use a PE1800 for a workstation though. weigh a freaking ton :p
 
SC430's aren't adequate workstations, and their scalability is ****.
 
Yeah, they are great servers.

Pity the thread title, and all content within are about workstations :lick: :p

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(

Just did some crude math and I apparently joined almost 18yrs ago, how is that possible???
