Dell Dimension 8300

I had to write a review about my most favouritist thing - my Dell 8300! Awwwwww, 'pathetic!' I hear you cry! 'Get out more!'.... well, yes I should probably get out more, but I like staying in too, and spend most of that time on my PC (apart from bringing up two kids and being a 'stay at home' ...

I love my Dell! xxx

Advantages: Great performance and good looks to boot!
Disadvantages: Support, support, support!

...most favouritist thing - my Dell 8300! Awwwwww, 'pathetic!' I hear you cry! 'Get out more!'.... well, yes I should probably get out more, but I like staying in too, and spend most of that time on my PC (apart from bringing up two kids and being a 'stay at home' (washing, cleaning, ironing, school runs', but also 'work from home' mum!)

Anyway, I'd never had a Dell before the end of last Summer when I bought this PC. I was so excited ...
...one (within budget limit) that Dell produce. There a loads of expansion slots for ..... expansion (obviously!) and it's good for the money. Slightly better quality/specification bits inside, than the slightly cheaper 2400 and 4300 models at the time.

Anyway, set up was extremely easy, everything pre-loaded as you would expect. Everything feels like it's well made and good quality. Some PC's are very 'plasticy' and feel quite 'tin-like' ... more

Advantages: Minimal fuss in setup,ordering and use.
Disadvantages: No Dell stores to view the machine beforehand

...my friend (who has two Dell computers) to have at look at Dell. So I took a gander at there website and was impressed by their customise and buy feature, which allowed you to stick to budget. So I decided to go around and have a look at his machines. Although he had the Dimension 2400, the Dimension 8300 is very similar in look and design to most of Dell's other ranges. ---Quality--- All the components and perhiperhals which came with my Dimension ...

Create Your Perfect PC

Advantages: Ability to customise your PC to your exact needs. Excellent value.
Disadvantages: People with a limited understanding of computers may find the process a bit daunting.

...writing this review for the Dell Dimension 8300 model these comments are more in relation to the Dell purchasing ‘experience’ than any specific product. If you specifically want to ask me about the 8300 model I will be happy to reply to any questions. I decided to buy a new PC earlier this year when I decided that my old PC was well past its ‘use-by’ date. My price range was £750 - £1000 and I needed a machine that had a decent amount of processing ...
...there is a link to Dell special offers, and at the time I was looking these were the offers they had. So with an extra 10% off I was able to select a few extras like a DVD writer and still only end up with a price tag of £750. I’m not going to bore you with what I personally chose as a configuration, but I will say that the build quality of their PC’s is very good, and the basic specification of the 8300 is impressive and includes the latest technology. ...

...a powerful computer. And Dell told me that they had the answers When I wanted to have some fun with videos, I asked the folks at Dell to put together the ideal video editing computer system. All Dell systems are built to order, so this was an easy task for them. Here's what they came up with: Since video editing is a processor-intensive task, I needed a powerful processor: A Dell Dimension 8300 with a 3.0 GHz Pentium 4 processor. Video editing ...

Excellent computer, poor support

Advantages: Excellent speed, graphics and performance
Disadvantages: Technical support is absolutely poor

The Dell Dimension 8300 is one of the, if not fastest Dell desktop on sale by Dell. One of the good things about Dell is that every system is taylor-made, and built to your specification. Just tell Dell what you want your computer to have in it, they will give you a price and then build it for you. You can order by telephone or on their website. Their website is in my opinion the better place to order as the prices of each part you can add to the ...
...The one thing that lets Dell down is their technical support. Dell seem to pride themselves with supposedly having 'the best technical support'. Don't believe any of this! Dell have tried to save themselves some money by relocating their technical support team to India. I found this out after doing a bit of research on the internet. Every time I phoned technical support I could not understand what the other person on the end of the phone was saying ...

The in's and outs of Dellivision

Advantages: Great programs and a lovely lightweight monitor
Disadvantages: Too many gadgets to play with!

When I first got this computer, I was in love. So many new features and games, and everything loaded so quickly! Compared to my old model, it was a dream come true. But I soon found that, although many of the extra programs they had given me worked, they also took up plenty of space. However, after clearing out all the excess junk and saying goodbye to several new games they had installed for me, it isn't a bad little computer. I am a student at ...
...half my gear, and being able to pack away my computer in a little lightweight box is brilliant - I dont have to worry about carrying it half a mile to the car and then keeping it safe on the journey. The DVD and CD reader and rewriter are brilliant - at least they suit someone like me who, as a student spend a lot of my time making cheap CD's. However, although this is a great machine for the occasional essay and a quick surf of the internet, I ...
