I would like to point out that most cases of very high failure rates particularely burn outs adn such at one location are not the fault of the manufacturers. yes it does happen once in a while.
Most likely the facility needs to check its wall power supply. surge strips suppress fluctuations but over time equipment will still die. Also high room rempature or humitity kills computers, as does incorrect placement. you must provide room for air circulation.
finally dell does some testing before shipping or else you would see much higher rates of Dead on Arival. The best regared hardware manufactures still ship a lot of dead parts. when you consider all the parts in as system that could be bad. YOu have at least a 10% change one or more is dead on arival, with high quality manufacturers and much higher with bad companies.
Reading some of the comments on part failures some are clear examples of computer abuse. particualrely when computers are loaned out.
