Review of Dell Dimension 8400 - P4 520 2.8 GHz - 17" CRT by pete_482

Advantages: Great value for money.
Disadvantages: Only available off the Internet.

The Dell Dimension 8400 PC has loads going for it, I should know, I'm on one right now. This first thing to note about all Dell PCs is that they are not available in high street stores the main source of their sales is over the internet; this should obviously not a problem to anyone reading this review. Also the specs given with this PC are the standard specs, when purchasing online you have the choice to upgrade any of the components, or downgrade ...
...can be found on the Dell site offering discounts for certain upgrades, the monitor upgrade can be purchased without any offer or deal for around £200, well worth while in my opinion The PC comes fitted with a 2.8 GHz processor, the highest I've seen at the moment is a 3.4 GHz but for a non professional there would be no noticeable difference between the two, therefore I don't think there's much point upgrading the processor unless it's for business ...
