 Early Optiplexes had problems. The newer ones weren't bad - onboard
 RAID on the 9XX models, took a decent amount of RAM for the time.

 The Precision Workstations were and are still tanks. I ran one for 12
 years, finally replaced it when I couldn't find modern drivers for it
 anymore. Some have dual Zeon sockets, the only pain in the ass was ECC
 RAM.
