I've had quite good reliability on two Dell machines that I acquired via
their web site.  One had a power supply fan go bad after about 10 months.

They have a 1 year on-site parts and labor and a three year parts warranty.
When the fan went bad they were going to send a repairman out to the house
to replace the power supply.  At my request, they instead overnighted the
new power supply to me, I replaced it myself, and they provided a pre-paid
UPS label for me to ship the defective one back.

My company also uses Dell for desktops and servers.  We'vbe been using them
for about 3 1/2 years now.  I work in the IT group.  I find the Dells to be
reliable and easy to work on when necessary.

At work we use OptiPlex desktops and at home my two machines are Dimension
models.
