Not seeing anything like that. I have come
across 1 post in the dell forums complaining of the same issue and a few blog
posts. Does not appear to be the epidemic that the 270’s and the 280’s
were but I was certainly curious. ;)

We experienced this
a few years ago with the GX270’s. Dell had a recall out on the
m’board (I could only find this info on the discussion forums), so they
replaced all seven of ours – even sending a tech to install them –
at no charge.
I don’t have
any 745’s, but I have 63 755’s so it’s possible I should be
worried(?). Have you checked the website to see if this is a known problem, or
whether there is a recall (even though they are out of warranty)? If there is,
the warranty may not matter.

gx745's
I am sure that many of you are familiar with the bulging
capacitor issue from several years ago from Dell and a few other
manufacturers... Have any of you seen this problem reappearing with newer
models? We have just discovered a few gx 745’s with the same problem.
They are out of warranty by a couple of months. We’ve not yet inspected
the rest of the machines with the same model but I would not be surprised to
find more.
I am pretty curious if this is isolated or something larger brewing
again….
