In my experience, the Dell OptiPlex 745 and 755 lines have been very solid.
Can confirm that Dell Optiplex machines from the LGA775 era seem pretty reliable. In addition to having a couple of thousand pass through our company back in the day, I still have several Dell Optiplex 960 desktop FF in a mix of Core Duo and Quad that are my regular 'crash and burn' machines (and a couple of later Optiplex i7-860s); they aren't exactly treated gently. Despite the abuse, they have never given me any trouble. The only real downside I run into if you want to call it that is the 8GB memory limit on that generation of kit. YMMV. And no, mine have never needed a recap. That is not a foregone conclusion. KJ
