Dell's rack servers are one of the rare servers which refused to die under continuous heavy load (HPC). Their R815s after eliminating the early failures (leading edge of the bathtub curve) just trucked on. I used to run an OpenStack cluster on top of them till last April or so. At the end, either the CPU power regulators died, or their RAID cards just called quits. No other errors after 10+ years of service. We also have their newer CPU and GPU servers. They just work. Scream occasionally due to high load, but not overheating or dying. They're built like a tank, from our experience.
