Suit Over Faulty Computers Highlights Dell’s Decline.

I still get motherboards from various companies, including DELL, with bad caps. Power supplies and video cards too, usually around 5 or more years old. I've got some from names both well known and generic such as PNY, PixelView, ASUS, Gigabyte, Everpower, Antec, Bestec, eMachines, and Allied/Deer/Austin/etc. to name a few. I even have DVD players with this problem, a CyberHome CH-DVD 300 that also went other various other brand names. I can't imagine how many of them were sold, being small, generic, and very, very cheap. Companies, like Soyo, have even been run out of business because of this. DELL situation was exacerbated by the very nature of some of the failing PCs, running known heat producing processors in slimline PCs with barely adequate cooling, the OptiPlex GX270 in particular. Seriously, I've never heard a pre-built PC be so loud before, just trying to cool itself off idling. Didn't help that the power supply was full of similar quality garbage capacitors. DELL deserves every bit of criticism they get over this issue.
