Hi Randy, I don't know about their other computers or how things are now regarding DELL, but their Precision line of workstations use to be built like tanks and were really reliable. I had an old model (2006) Precision with Dual Xeons at home and that thing never led me down, it lasted a good six years and only ceased to function properly because I use to live close to the beach and electronics aren't very fond of sea breeze.
So by my experience with them I would say that they are great boxes. And I've also seen people hackintosh them without much trouble.
