We still have a few hundred Dell 1650s that are still going strong. We replaced a few power supplies since we bought them (mostly in 2003-2004), but not more than 20 or so out of 500+ 1650s (each is/was dual PS, so more than 1000 power supplies). The damn things just won't die. But a few of the Cisco switches we had over the past few years seemed to eat power supplies like donuts.
