I work as a civil designer and our company was flooded with Dell's. I knew from before that they cannot be trusted and in time they had to agree with me. The Dells we had were at their time 3000 dollars a piece and were the most recommended for our work with Civil 3D. I researched more into them to find out that even if they have high end components, their technology is betrayed by the motherboard that according to many people is the cheapest the processor can run on.
So since we got screwed with Dells we went on building our own systems to systems that could be upgraded on the fly without OEM parts and we had no issue since.
