All Linux Things

Ive had systems last well over 20 years with rarely a problem and Ive got 10 Optiplexs with no issues.

Me too, I seem to be quite lucky with hardware, I have some machines that are still 100% original and fully working! although tbh I don't really push my hardware too hard.

And I just pulled an old PS2 out of a drawer and had a play on that yesterday, brought back some happy memories!

I bought this used...who knows what abuse it has been thru before me. I always shut my computer off. Even my new one at work. It has a SSD, it's a Dell,and its running Windblows 10. We had several power spikes over night 2 days ago,but my computer was fine...since I turned it off....

All mine are used and all run very well but they are probably running UPS with your pcs at work.

Yeah, I'm a big fan of buying used too. Currently nothing I own (computer-wise) was purchased new. The closest would be new open box (the Dell desktop I just rebuilt). Although the case it's in was purchased new, as well as the ram. Everything else was used from the existing or factory refurb.

Dell 5676 was my first new pc in a very long time.

Oh... I wanted to tell you guys that my company bought 7 new computers,all Dell 7050's,and they got me a 24" Dell monitor. I ended up buying myself 2 Harmon Kardon speakers, and I listen to HRH Radio all day...

Nice!!

I had a 7050 for a while, good pc. First desktop we purchased as a company that came with an SSD. I stole it for mine until I was required to go to a laptop.

Its a great pc and I almost went one at one point.
