I work in IT in a pure Dell shop (all dell servers, workstations, and laptops). I bought four dells last year for family members. On the business side, they are excellent. Never had a problem in the five years we have had them. On the home side, in my experience, they make you jump through a lot of hoops but are usually pretty good.
Depending on what you need fixed (cd-rom, floppy, zip, etc..) they can send that stuff out easy. If it's something else, then it depends on what support you purchased (whether you have onsite support). If you have onsite, then they are usually there within a day or two to fix ya up. If you don't have onsite, then you have to send it in (or at least I did). They are like that on the business side as well.
