From what I was told by a friend and a Dell employee at the time, Dell
just found it cheaper to build newer models of the same machines than to go
back and try to fix them.  That doesn't surprise me at all.

But my particular GX620 was a very good computer and I got my $10 out of it
many times over.  Its power supply was rather iffy but again, Dell's
proprietary power supplies of that era tended to have the bleeding caps
issues also.

I do as well.  My BBS is stable and runs quietly without issues...unlike me.
