Sitting on 160 timebombs
We've got 160+ GX270s and GX280s, and we've already had one melt down. I thought this crap was over 5 years ago when Asus/Abit had this problem on VIA motherboards, but NOOooooo. At least Dell has said they'll check our purchase records and do proactive field replacements on machines with service tags that match the known bad batches. We'll find out how well they stand behind their machines soon enough.
