That was much more an industry-wide problem, (allegedly due to problems with
certain passive component suppliers in eastern Asia), which reached its peak in
the mid/late-2000s and has been in steady decline ever since. I have no
specific experience with the Dell Optiplex line, but I would not expect it to
have any particular problems with failed capacitors relative to any other
reputable brand.
