Same with our HP desktops, failure rates near zero.

I have a Z420 at work and it's awesome. We bought some new beefy Z400's that are working really well also. 128GB RAM and dual 6 core Xeons.

Fujitsu isn't bad either. No faults in nearly 6 years, apart from a fan on an AMD FirePro. Decent dual-socket workstation are available too: Celsius R5xx line.

Anyways for lunch I had a roast beef sandwich, with chips and a pickle spear.
