One a beefy machine for handling large scale software builds and one a fairly fast desktop machine... the build machine (3 months old?) has had 3 hard drive failures and the desktop's network card drops 10 times a day with Vista, and has had the motherboard replaced once already (2 months old?) Unbelievable how shoddy work around Dell is these days... everyone says buy Alienware for a nice stable desktop, but good lord, it's like 3x the price. You can build your own certainly, but not an option for everyone I suppose :( LOL, your timing is strangely accurate. 2 of the people I work with got two separate Dell machines.
