My Fedora box is an older Dell. I upgraded the processor and added a SSD 
when I switched from SUSE to Fedora but there was nothing wrong with the 
original components.

My work laptop and desktops are all Dell and have also been trouble free. 
It took the company a while to realize that building desktops in the back 
room really wasn't cost effective after replacing enough Brand X power 
supplies, hard drives, and mother boards.
