MSU libraries replaced mother boards in a hundred or more GX270s. A Dell tech messed up one day and let me send in 30 tag numbers at once. The rest had to be done one at a time. We had to replace the battery in scores of GX260s. By the way if anyone needs 270s, Surplus has stacks of them lacking hard drives and RAM. Most have already had the mother boards replaced. They also have couple of dozen Sun Blade 100 workstations. And a lot of CRT monitors for some reason.

As I understood it, the agreement was 'till Janurary 30th 2008. Is that incorrect? As an aside, have people at MSU encountered that problem? My spy inside Dell said that about 9 - 11% of those machines developed problems because of the capacitor debacle. None of my 270ish seems have ever had problems, but a friend who ordered several elsewhere had gobs of problems. --STeve Andre' Political Science
