I ordered this because I needed a desktop to replace my old. I got this desktop with a free upgrade to a 19'' TFT LCD widescreen monitor. Watching movies and viewing pictures on the 19'' monitor is a paradise. The power button lits up in blue with cool soft blue hues flooding the sides of the desktop. I like that. I got the order a week after I placed the order online. Dell was kind enough to call me to confirm the shipment of the item. The setup was easy as the cables were color-coded. It comes with 10 USB ports (4 in front and 4 behind). There is 2 USB ports inside as well. It is useful to me as I have tons of USB devices. The keyboard and mouse are average looking but with good quality. I also added a 2.1 speaker system which is the Dell A525 to the order for GBP10. The speakers are great!!! The low bass from the woofer is tight and produces pretty good highs too. The only thing I regretted not upgrading is my 1GB of RAM. On Windows Vista, 2GB is a must if you wanna work smoothly with it.
