Re: Any Dell's more reliable than others these days?
They bought an Optiplex, not sure of the model number. Had it open yesterday to plug in the disk from the old machine, so that they could copy their files over. Not terribly impressed with the case metal - much too thin for my taste. Not the worst I have ever seen, that honor went to a case I could have smashed by just leaning on it, but thin enough that a moderate smack in the side is going to ding it.
Oddly the disk from the old machine (green plastic rails) would not fit into the empty disk bay on the new machine (which uses a bluish color rail). The green ones were too fat by a couple of millimeters. If the new machine came with a spare set of the new rails they were already lost by the time I got there, so I just taped the disk to the desk temporarily, so that they could get the files off.
